July 19, 2020

Prelude

Prelude and Fugue in D-minor J. S. Bach

Opening Sentence

The Officiant says

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:2

We give thanks to the Father, who has made us worthy to share in the inheritance of

the saints in light. Colossians 1:12

Confession of Sin

The Officiant says

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

Officiant and People, together.

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.

2

The Officiant says

Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ,

strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal

life. Amen.

The Invitatory and Psalter

Versicle

Officiant Lord, open our lips.

People And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Officiant and People, together

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is

now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Antiphon

The Lord is glorious in his saints: Come let us adore him.

Invitatory

Venite Psalm 95:1-7

Come, let us sing to the Lord; *

let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *

and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God, *

and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *

and the heights of the hills are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it, *

and his hands have molded the dry land.

Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *

and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is our God,

and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *

Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!

3

Gradual Psalm Psalm 42:1-7 1 As the deer longs for the water-brooks, *

so longs my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; *

when shall I come to appear before the presence of God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, *

while all day long they say to me,

"Where now is your God?" 4 I pour out my soul when I think on these things: *

how I went with the multitude and led them into the house of God, 5 With the voice of praise and thanksgiving, *

among those who keep holy-day. 6 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? *

and why are you so disquieted within me? 7 Put your trust in God; *

for I will yet give thanks to him,

who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

The Lessons

First Reading 2 Corinthians 5:14-18

A Reading from the Second Letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

The love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all;

therefore all have died. And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer

for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them.

From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though

we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way.

So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see,

everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself

through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.

Reader The Word of the Lord.

People Thanks be to God.

The Canticle

Canticle 15: The Song of Mary Magnificat

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; *

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed: *

the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him *

in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm, *

he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, *

and has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things, *

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel, *

for he has remembered his promise of mercy,

The promise he made to our fathers, *

to Abraham and his children for ever.

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.

Second Reading John 20:11-18

A Reading from the Gospel according to John.

Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the

tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying,

one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you

weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know

where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus

standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why

are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she

said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I

will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew,

“Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because

I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am

ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene

went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he

had said these things to her.

Reflection The Rev. Marguerite Judson

Hymn Hymnal, #232

Lyrics for verse 2 are at the bottom of this page.

Hymn Verse 2 Lyrics

All praise for Mary Magdalene,

whose wholeness was restored

by you, her faithful Master,

her Savior and her Lord.

On Easter morning early,

a word from you sufficed:

her faith was first to see you,

her Lord, the risen Christ.

6

The Apostles’ Creed

Officiant and People, together

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit

and born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead.

On the third day he rose again.

He ascended into heaven,

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

Collect of the Day

Almighty God, whose blessed Son restored Mary Magdalene to health of body and of

mind, and called her to be a witness of his resurrection: Mercifully grant that by your

grace we may be healed from all our infirmities and know you in the power of his

unending life; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and

for ever. Amen.

A Prayer for the Mary Magdalene Scholarship Recipients

Holy God, creator of all, who gives us the ability to acquire knowledge and the will to

achieve true wisdom, thank you for the recipients of the Mary Magdalene Scholarship

and the leadership, intelligence and creativity that these young women have been

given. Thank you for their families who nurtured them and the generous donor who

made these scholarships possible. May Mary Magdalene, a witness of the resurrection,

be a constant inspiration to them as they further develop the gifts of mind, body and

spirit. Guide us all in the way of truth and life. For the sake of your Holy Name. Amen.

Prayer for Mission

Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people

is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer

before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry

they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen.

we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks

for all your goodness and loving-kindness

to us and to all whom you have made.

We bless you for our creation, preservation,

and all the blessings of this life;

but above all for your immeasurable love

in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ;

for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.

And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies,

that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise,

not only with our lips, but in our lives,

by giving up our selves to your service,

and by walking before you

in holiness and righteousness all our days;

through Jesus Christ our Lord,

common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son

that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of

them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us

in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.

WAYS TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING ST.

MARY’S THROUGH A FINANCIAL GIFT

OR PLEDGE

Many St. Mary’s parishioners have asked

how they can continue financially

supporting St. Mary’s while we are not

physically gathering together on Sundays.

The simplest option may be to donate

online through our website

at https://smvsf.org/donation/ under the

“One Time Donation” button. You also

have the option to make recurring

payments. If you are making a pledge

payment, please designate that as such.

Recurring payments may also be made

directly through your banking

institution. Another option is to mail a

check to the church. We are checking mail

regularly and are able to deposit checks. If

you prefer to give by mailing a check,

please continue to do so. If you have any

questions, please email Vicki Turk, our

accountant, at finance@smvsf.org.

We want to thank everyone for continuing

to support St. Mary’s mission of receiving

God’s grace and bearing Christ in the

world. Thank you! We also recognize,

given the serious events we are all

experiencing, that some people will need to

adjust their support. We want to reaffirm

that everyone is fully a part of this place of

Grace, and that we are here for one

another, as God’s is always here for us. We

are in this together!

VIRTUAL COFFEE HOUR SUNDAYS AT
