2 The Opening Canticle, A Song of God's Grace
We have complete freedom:
to go into the most holy place by means of the death of Jesus
He opened for us a new way, a living way:
through the curtain, through his own body.
Since we have a great high priest
set over the household of God:
let us draw near with a sincere heart and a sure faith,
With hearts that have been made clean
from a guilty conscience:
and bodies washed with pure water.

4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each.
1 Hear my just cause, O Lord; consider my complaint; •
listen to my prayer, which comes not from lying lips.
2 Let my vindication come forth from your presence; •
let your eyes behold what is right.
3 Weigh my heart, examine me by night, •
refine me, and you will find no impurity in me.
4 My mouth does not trespass for earthly rewards; •
I have heeded the words of your lips.
5 My footsteps hold fast in the ways of your commandments; •
my feet have not stumbled in your paths.
6 I call upon you, O God, for you will answer me; •
incline your ear to me, and listen to my words.
7 Show me your marvellous loving-kindness, •
O Saviour of those who take refuge at your right hand
from those who rise up against them.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; •
hide me under the shadow of your wings,
9 From the wicked who assault me, •
from my enemies who surround me to take away my life.
10 They have closed their heart to pity •
and their mouth speaks proud things.
11 They press me hard, they surround me on every side, •
watching how they may cast me to the ground,
12 Like a lion that is greedy for its prey, •
like a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Arise, Lord; confront them and cast them down; •
deliver me from the wicked by your sword.
14 Deliver me, O Lord, by your hand •
from those whose portion in life is unending,
15 Whose bellies you fill with your treasure, •
who are well supplied with children
and leave their wealth to their little ones.
16 As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness; •
when I awake and behold your likeness, I shall be satisfied.

1 The heavens are telling the glory of God •
and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.
2 One day pours out its song to another •
and one night unfolds knowledge to another.
3 They have neither speech nor language •
and their voices are not heard,
4 Yet their sound has gone out into all lands •
and their words to the ends of the world.
5 In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun, •
that comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber
and rejoices as a champion to run his course.
6 It goes forth from the end of the heavens
and runs to the very end again, •
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; •
the testimony of the Lord is sure
and gives wisdom to the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the heart; •
the commandment of the Lord is pure
and gives light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; •
the judgements of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
more than much fine gold, •
sweeter also than honey,
dripping from the honeycomb.
11 By them also is your servant taught •
and in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can tell how often they offend? •
O cleanse me from my secret faults!
13 Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins
lest they get dominion over me; •
so shall I be undefiled,
and innocent of great offence.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight, •
O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed
Joshua 5:2–15 (Listen)
2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.1 4 And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way after they had come out of Egypt. 5 Though all the people who came out had been circumcised, yet all the people who were born on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6 For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD; the LORD swore to them that he would not let them see the land that the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey. 7 So it was their children, whom he raised up in their place, that Joshua circumcised. For they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 When the circumcising of the whole nation was finished, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healed. 9 And the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” And so the name of that place is called Gilgal2 to this day.
First Passover in Canaan
10 While the people of Israel were encamped at Gilgal, they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening on the plains of Jericho. 11 And the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. 12 And the manna ceased the day after they ate of the produce of the land. And there was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
The Commander of the Lord’s Army
13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” 14 And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the LORD. Now I have come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped3 and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” 15 And the commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Luke 10:1–16 (Listen)
Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
10:1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two1 others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. 5 Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9 Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
Woe to Unrepentant Cities
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades.
16 “The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me.”

2 The Opening Canticle, The Lord's Servant
He was despised; he was rejected:
a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.
As one from whom people hide their faces:
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Ours were the sufferings he bore:
ours the torments he endured,
While we thought he was being punished:
struck by God and brought low.
He was pierced for our sins:
bruised for no fault but ours.
His punishment has won our peace:
and by his wounds we are healed.
We had all strayed like sheep:
all taking our own way;
But the Lord laid on him:
the guilt of us all.
a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.
As one from whom people hide their faces:
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Ours were the sufferings he bore:

4 The Psalms as appointed. A pause is observed after each
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me, •
and are so far from my salvation,
from the words of my distress?
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime,
but you do not answer; •
and by night also, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are the Holy One, •
enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
4 Our forebears trusted in you; •
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 They cried out to you and were delivered; •
they put their trust in you and were not confounded.
6 But as for me, I am a worm and no man, •
scorned by all and despised by the people.
7 All who see me laugh me to scorn; •
they curl their lips and wag their heads, saying,
8 ‘He trusted in the Lord; let him deliver him; •
let him deliver him, if he delights in him.’
9 But it is you that took me out of the womb •
and laid me safe upon my mother’s breast.
10 On you was I cast ever since I was born; •
you are my God even from my mother’s womb.
11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near at hand •
and there is none to help.
12 Mighty oxen come around me; •
fat bulls of Bashan close me in on every side.
13 They gape upon me with their mouths, •
as it were a ramping and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water;
all my bones are out of joint; •
my heart has become like wax
melting in the depths of my body.
15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd;
my tongue cleaves to my gums; •
you have laid me in the dust of death.
16 For the hounds are all about me,
the pack of evildoers close in on me; •
they pierce my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all my bones; •
they stand staring and looking upon me.
18 They divide my garments among them; •
they cast lots for my clothing.
19 Be not far from me, O Lord; •
you are my strength; hasten to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, •
my poor life from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion’s mouth,
from the horns of wild oxen. •
You have answered me!
22 I will tell of your name to my people; •
in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
23 Praise the Lord, you that fear him; •
O seed of Jacob, glorify him;
stand in awe of him, O seed of Israel.
24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the suffering of the poor;
neither has he hidden his face from them; •
but when they cried to him he heard them.
25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation; •
I will perform my vows
in the presence of those that fear you.
26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied; •
those who seek the Lord shall praise him;
their hearts shall live for ever.
27 All the ends of the earth
shall remember and turn to the Lord, •
and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord’s •
and he rules over the nations.
29 How can those who sleep in the earth
bow down in worship, •
or those who go down to the dust kneel before him?
30 He has saved my life for himself;
my descendants shall serve him; •
this shall be told of the Lord for generations to come.
31 They shall come and make known his salvation,
to a people yet unborn, •
declaring that he, the Lord, has done it.
and are so far from my salvation,
from the words of my distress?
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime,
but you do not answer; •

6 One or two Readings from the Bible as appointed
Romans 3:1–20 (Listen)
God’s Righteousness Upheld
3:1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2 Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3 What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? 4 By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written,
“That you may be justified in your words,
and prevail when you are judged.”
5 But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) 6 By no means! For then how could God judge the world? 7 But if through my lie God’s truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? 8 And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.
No One Is Righteous
9 What then? Are we Jews1 any better off?2 No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, 10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throat is an open grave;
they use their tongues to deceive.”
“The venom of asps is under their lips.”
14 “Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 in their paths are ruin and misery,
17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For by works of the law no human being3 will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
