Invitatory Psalm

Psalm 23 (24)

“The gates of heaven were opened to Christ because he was lifted up in the flesh” (St Irenaeus).

Let us listen for the voice of the Lord and enter into his peace.

The Lórd’s is the éarth and its fúllness, *

the wórld and áll its péoples.

It is hé who sét it on the séas; *

on the wáters he máde it fírm.

Who shall clímb the móuntain of the Lórd? *

Who shall stánd in his hóly pláce?

The mán with clean hánds and pure héart, †

who desíres not wórthless thíngs, *

who has not swórn so as to déceive his néighbour.

He shall recéive bléssings from the Lórd *

and rewárd from the Gód who sáves him.

Súch are the mén who séek him, *

seek the fáce of the Gód of Jácob.

O gátes, lift hígh your héads; †

grow hígher, áncient dóors. *

Let him énter, the kíng of glóry!

Whó is the kíng of glóry? †

The Lórd, the míghty, the váliant, *

the Lórd, the váliant in wár.

O gátes, lift hígh your héads; †

grow hígher, áncient dóors. *

Let him énter, the kíng of glóry!

Who is hé, the kíng of glóry? †

Hé, the Lórd of ármies, *

hé is the kíng of glóry.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Let us listen for the voice of the Lord and enter into his peace.

Hymn

In the beginning God created heaven,

The dark and empty earth;

His Spirit moved across the sombre waters

And stirred them with his breath.

Then God created light, and with its coming

The dark was swept away;

The morning came, and then the quiet evening:

The end of God’s first day.

To God the Father of the world give glory,

With Christ his only Son,

Who with the Spirit govern all creation:

Blest Trinity in One.

From the rísing of the sún to its sétting *

Whó is like the Lórd, our Gód, *

who has rísen on hígh to his thróne

From the dúst he lífts up the lówly, *

from his mísery he ráises the póor

yés, with the prínces of his péople.

To the chíldless wífe he gives a hóme *

and gláddens her héart with chíldren.

Almighty Father, we praise and bless your name and ask you to join us together through your enduring love in the bosom of Mother Church.

Or:

Lord Jesus, Word of God, surrendering the brightness of your glory you became man so that we might be raised from the dust to share your very being. May there be innumerable children of the Church to offer homage to your name from the rising of the sun to its setting.

Psalm 115 (116B)

Thanksgiving in the Temple

“Through him [Christ], let us offer God an unending sacrifice of praise” (Heb 13:15).

I will take the chalice of salvation, and I will call on the name of the Lord.

I trústed, éven when I sáid: *

‘I am sórely afflícted,’

and whén I sáid in my alárm: *

‘No mán can be trústed.’

The cúp of salvátion I will ráise; *

I will cáll on the Lórd’s name.

befóre all his péople.

O précious in the éyes of the Lórd *

is the déath of his fáithful.

Your sérvant, Lord, your sérvant am Í; *

you have lóosened my bónds.

A thánksgiving sácrifice I máke; *

I will cáll on the Lórd’s name.

My vóws to the Lórd I will fulfíl *

befóre all his péople,

in the cóurts of the hóuse of the Lórd, *

in your mídst, O Jerúsalem.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

I will take the chalice of salvation, and I will call on the name of the Lord.

Psalm-Prayer

Lord, accept the prayers of your faithful people. Help us always to offer you a sacrifice of praise. Quickly break the bonds that hold your children down, and we will fulfil our vows and praise you every day.

Or:

Father, precious in your sight is the death of the saints, but precious above all is the love with which Christ suffered to redeem us. In this life we fill up in our own flesh what is still lacking in the sufferings of Christ; accept this as our sacrifice of praise, and we shall even now taste the joy of the new Jerusalem.

Canticle

Philippians 2

Christ, God’s servant

The Lord Jesus humbled himself: therefore God has highly exalted him for ever.

Though he was in the form of God, *

Jesus did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.

He emptied himself, †

taking the form of a servant, *

being born in the likeness of men.

And being found in human form, †

he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, *

even death on a cross.

Therefore God has highly exalted him *

and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, *

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, *

to the glory of God the Father.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

The Lord Jesus humbled himself: therefore God has highly exalted him for ever.
