Opening Words:

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14

Confession:

Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

The Invitatory

Lord, open our lips.
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Alleluia.

Jubilate (Psalm 100)

Alleluia. To us a child is born: O come, let us adore him. Alleluia.

Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.

Know this: The Lord himself is God; *
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise; *
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting; *
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.

Alleluia. To us a child is born: O come, let us adore him. Alleluia.

The Psalter

Psalm 103

Benedic, anima mea

BCP p. 733

Bless the Lord, O my soul, *

and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.

2

Bless the Lord, O my soul, *

and forget not all his benefits.

3

He forgives all your sins *

and heals all your infirmities;

4

He redeems your life from the grave *

and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;

5

He satisfies you with good things, *

and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.

6

The Lord executes righteousness *

and judgment for all who are oppressed.

7

He made his ways known to Moses *

and his works to the children of Israel.

8

The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, *

slow to anger and of great kindness.

9

He will not always accuse us, *

nor will he keep his anger for ever.

10

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *

nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.

11

For as the heavens are high above the earth, *

so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.

12

As far as the east is from the west, *

so far has he removed our sins from us.

13

As a father cares for his children, *

so does the Lord care for those who fear him.

14

For he himself knows whereof we are made; *

he remembers that we are but dust.

15

Our days are like the grass; *

we flourish like a flower of the field;

16

When the wind goes over it, it is gone, *

and its place shall know it no more.

17

But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures
