LITURGY OF THE WORD(Mat 4:4; Jn 1:1-5; Col 3:16)

FIRST READING Isaiah 22:19-23

Thus says the LORD to Shebna, who is over

the household: 19I will thrust you from your

office, and you will be cast down from your

station. 20In that day I will call my servant

Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, 21and I will clothe

him with your robe, and will bind your belt on

him, and will commit your authority to his hand;

and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of

4

Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22And I will

place on his shoulder the key of the house of

David; he shall open, and none shall shut; and he

shall shut, and none shall open. 23And I will

fasten him like a peg in a sure place, and he will

become a throne of honor to his father’s house.

L The Word of the Lord.

C Thanks be to God.

PSALMODY Sung responsively with the assisting cantor. Psalm 138Psalm Tone

SECOND READING Romans 11:33-36

Othe depth of the riches and wisdom and

knowledge of God! How unsearchable are

his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!34“For who has known the mind of the Lord, or

given a gift to him that he might be repaid?”36For from him and through him and to him are

all things. To him be glory for ever. Amen.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION All sing the “Alleluia” before and after the Verse.

The Verse is sung by the assisting cantor/choir:

“Our Savior, Jesus Christ abolished death

and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

HOLY GOSPEL St. Matthew 16:13-20

P The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew.

C Glory to you, O Lord.

At that time: When Jesus came into the

district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his

disciples, “Who do men say that the Son of man

is?” 14And they said, “Some say John the Baptist,

others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of

the prophets.” 15He said to them, “But who do

you say that I am?” 16Simon Peter replied, “You

are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17And

Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon

Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed

this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock

I will build my Church, and the gates of Hades

shall not prevail against it. 19I will give you the

keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever

you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and

whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in

heaven.” 20Then he strictly charged the disciples

to tell no one that he was the Christ.

P The Gospel of the Lord.

C Praise to you, O Christ.

HYMN OF THE DAY - Built on a Rock bulletin, p. 14

NICENE CREED

C We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.

Through him all things were made.(In honor of the incarnation of Our Lord, worshipers may bow from the words

“For us and…” through “and was made man.”)

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;

by the power of the Holy Spirit

he became incarnate from the virgin Mary, and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.

7

He has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, +

and the life of the world to come. Amen

Private prayer before receiving Holy Communion: We do not presume to come to this thy Table,

O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We

whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the Flesh

of thy dear Son, Jesus Christ, and so to drink his Blood, that we may evermore dwell in him and

he in us. Amen

Prayer after receiving Holy Communion: Almighty God, you provide the true bread from

life, now and forever. Amen
