THE LITURGY OF THE PALMS

Priest     Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. 
People     Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.
Priest     Let us pray.

Assist us mercifully with thy help, O Lord God of our salvation, that we may enter with joy upon the contemplation of those mighty acts, whereby thou hast given us life and immortality; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


The Gospel
: Mark 11:1-11

Deacon     The ✠ Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Mark. 
People     Glory to you, Lord Christ.

When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’” They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

Deacon     The Gospel of the Lord. 
People     Praise to you, Lord Christ.


The Blessing of the Palms

Priest     The Lord be with you. 
People     And also with you.
Priest     Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People     It is right to give him thanks and praise.

Priest
It is right to praise you, Almighty God, for the acts of love by which you have redeemed us through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.  On this day he entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed as King of kings by those who spread their garments and branches of palm along his way.  Let these branches be for us signs of his victory, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King, and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life; who lives and reigns in glory with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

The Procession

Priest     Let us go forth in peace.
People         In the name of Christ. Amen.


The people lift their palm branches during the procession, as a psalm is spoken.
 


Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures for ever. 
Hosanna in the highest.  

Let Israel now proclaim, “His mercy endures for ever.” 
Hosanna in the highest. 

Open for me the gates of righteousness; 
I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the Lord. 
Hosanna in the highest. 

“This is the gate of the Lord; he who is righteous may enter.” 
Hosanna in the highest. 

I will give thanks to you, for you answered me and have become my salvation. 
Hosanna in the highest. 

The same stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. 
Hosanna in the highest. 

This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. 
Hosanna in the highest. 

On this day the Lord has acted; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 
Hosanna in the highest. 

Hosannah, Lord, hosannah! Lord, send us now success. 
Hosanna in the highest. 

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; we bless you from the house of the Lord.   
Hosanna in the highest. 

God is the Lord; he has shined upon us; 
form a procession with branches up to the horns of the altar. 
Hosanna in the highest. 

“You are my God, and I will thank you; you are my God, and I will exalt you.” 
Hosanna in the highest. 

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures for ever. 
Hosanna in the highest. 

The procession arrives at the font. 

Priest Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord: 
People Peace in heaven and glory in the highest. 

Priest 
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 


Hymn 154:
“All glory, laud, and honor” (verses 1, 2, 3)

All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King!
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring.

1. Thou art the King of Israel, thou David’s royal Son,
who in the Lord’s Name comest,
the King and Blessèd One.
All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King!
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring.

2. The company of angels is praising thee on high;
and we with all creation
in chorus make reply.
All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King!
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring.

3. The people of the Hebrews with palms before thee went;
our praise and prayers and anthems
before thee we present.
All glory, laud, and honor to thee, Redeemer, King!
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring.

The Liturgy of the Word

The Collect of the Day

Celebrant    The Lord be with you. 
People     And also with you.
Celebrant    Let us pray. 

Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

First Reading: Isaiah 50:4-9a

The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens—wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty?

Reader     The Word of the Lord.
People     Thanks be to God.


Psalm 31:9-16

The Psalm is sung by the cantor

9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; *
my eye is consumed with sorrow,
and also my throat and my belly.

10 For my life is wasted with grief,
and my years with sighing; *
my strength fails me because of affliction,
and my bones are consumed.

11 I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors,
a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *
when they see me in the street they avoid me.

12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; *
I am as useless as a broken pot.

13 For I have heard the whispering of the crowd;
fear is all around; *
they put their heads together against me;
they plot to take my life.

14 But as for me, I have trusted in you, O Lord. *
I have said, “You are my God.

15 My times are in your hand; *
rescue me from the hand of my enemies,
and from those who persecute me.

16 Make your face to shine upon your servant, *
and in your loving-kindness save me.”

Second Reading: Philippians 2:5-11

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Reader     The Word of the Lord.
People     Thanks be to God.


A tract is then sung by the cantor.


The Passion Gospel
: Mark 15:1-47

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.

As soon as it was morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. They bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” He answered him, “You say so.” Then the chief priests accused him of many things. Pilate asked him again, “Have you no answer? See how many charges they bring against you.” But Jesus made no further reply, so that Pilate was amazed.

Now at the festival he used to release a prisoner for them, anyone for whom they asked. Now a man called Barabbas was in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection. So the crowd came and began to ask Pilate to do for them according to his custom. Then he answered them, “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?” For he realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed him over. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release Barabbas for them instead. Pilate spoke to them again, “Then what do you wish me to do with the man you call the King of the Jews?” They shouted back, “Crucify him!” Pilate asked them, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Crucify him!” So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.

Then the soldiers led him into the courtyard of the palace (that is, the governor’s headquarters); and they called together the whole cohort. And they clothed him in a purple cloak; and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on him. And they began saluting him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They struck his head with a reed, spat upon him, and knelt down in homage to him. After mocking him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

They compelled a passer-by, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross; it was Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus. Then they brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. And they crucified him, and divided his clothes among them, casting lots to decide what each should take.

It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him. The inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” And with him they crucified two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross!” In the same way the chief priests, along with the scribes, were also mocking him among themselves and saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. Let the Messiah, the King of Israel, come down from the cross now, so that we may see and believe.” Those who were crucified with him also taunted him.

When it was noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. At three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “Listen, he is calling for Elijah.” And someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” Then Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. Now when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was God’s Son!”

There were also women looking on from a distance; among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. These used to follow him and provided for him when he was in Galilee; and there were many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

When evening had come, and since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate wondered if he were already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead for some time. When he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. Then Joseph bought a linen cloth, and taking down the body, wrapped it in the linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock. He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body was laid.

Priest  The Gospel of the Lord.
People     Praise to you, Lord Christ.


The Sermon


Hymn 158:
“Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended” (verses 1, 4, 5)

1. Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended,
that man to judge thee hath in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by thine own rejected,
O most afflicted.

4. For me, kind Jesus, was thy incarnation,
thy mortal sorrow, and thy life’s oblation;
thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion,
for my salvation.

5. Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee,
I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee,
think on thy pity and thy love unswerving,
not my deserving.

Offertory Anthem:
“Lord, For thy Tender Mercy’s Sake” Richard Farrant 

Lord, for thy tender mercy’s sake,  
lay not our sins to our charge, 
but forgive that is past,  
and give us grace to amend our sinful lives:  
to decline from sin and incline to virtue,  
that we may walk in a perfect heart  
before thee now and evermore. Amen 


The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer B

The priest faces the people and says

The Lord be with you. 
People     And also with you.
Priest     Lift up your hearts. 
People     We lift them to the Lord.
Priest     Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. 
People     It is right to give him thanks and praise.


Then, facing the Holy Table, the priest continues

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

You bid your faithful people cleanse their hearts, and prepare with joy for the Paschal feast; that, fervent in prayer and in works of mercy, and renewed by your Word and Sacraments, they may come to the fullness of grace which you have prepared for those who love you.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:


Sanctus
: “Holy, holy, holy Lord”

Sanctus-McGregor.png

The people may stand or kneel. The priest continues

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. 

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.” 

Therefore, according to his command, O Father, 

Priest and People

We remember his death, 
We proclaim his resurrection, 
We await his coming in glory; 

The priest continues

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being ✠ sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with the ever-blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, blessed Paul the Apostle, and all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. 

By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN. 

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, 

People and Priest

Our Father, who art in heaven,
    hallowed be thy Name,
    thy kingdom come,
    thy will be done,
        on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
    as we forgive those
        who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
    and the power, and the glory,
    for ever and ever. Amen.


The Breaking of the Bread

The priest breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept.

Priest     Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
People     Therefore let us keep the feast.


Fraction Anthem:
Lamb of God

Agnus+Dei+McGregor.jpg

Facing the people, the priest says

The Gifts of God for the People of God.


Spiritual Communion: Act of Reception

This prayer form is for those who desire to receive the Sacrament but are unable to do so, with the assurance that all the benefits of Communion are received, even though the Sacrament is not received with the mouth. 

In union, blessed Jesus, with the faithful gathered at every altar of your Church where your blessed Body and Blood are offered this day, I long to offer you praise and thanksgiving, for creation and all the blessings of this life, for the redemption won for us by your life, death, and resurrection, for the means of grace and the hope of glory.

I believe that you are truly present in the Holy Sacrament, and, since I cannot at this time receive communion, I pray you to come into my heart. I unite myself with you and embrace you with all my heart, my soul, and my mind. Let nothing separate me from you; let me serve you in this life until, by your grace, I come to your glorious kingdom and unending peace. Amen.

Come Lord Jesus, and dwell in my heart in the fullness of your strength; be my wisdom and guide me in right pathways; conform my life and actions to the image of your holiness; and, in the power of your gracious might, rule over every hostile power that threatens or disturbs the growth of your kingdom, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Hymn 164: “Alone thou goest forth, O Lord” (verses 1, 2, 4)

1. Alone thou goest forth, O Lord,
in sacrifice to die;
is this thy sorrow nought to us
who pass unheeding by?

2. Our sins, not thine, thou bearest, Lord;
make us thy sorrow feel,
till through our pity and our shame
love answers love’s appeal.

4. Grant us with thee to suffer pain
that, as we share this hour,
thy cross may bring us to thy joy
and resurrection power.


Postcommunion Prayer

Priest     Let us pray.

The people may join in saying this prayer 

Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Hi friends! There is Compline on Wednesday nights starting at 8:45pm.  The zoom room will open at 8:45pm for fellowship and conversation. We'll hang out until about 9:15pm, at which point we will then begin the short prayer service. The zoom room will close after the prayer service, when we say goodnight.  The idea here is that our prayers together will be the last words we say before going to bed. While no one is required to keep silence after they sign off, I'd like to encourage us to consider how we "sign off" for the evening and approach rest.

If you'd rather not socialize, please show up around 9:10pm to prepare for the prayer service.

Zoom details can be found on the St. Paul’s Doylestown Members FB group.  You can also contact Lindsey Carfagna or Deacon Matthew.


COLLECTION FOR ST. MARY'S SOLOLÁ, GUATEMALA

At St. Paul’s, we pray weekly for our Sister Parish: St. Mary’s, Sololá, in Guatemala. In addition to praying for them, we do a yearly fundraising campaign to help the youth of St. Mary’s with their educational expenses. In the past, we have sponsored students’ educational costs, including tuition, books, supplies, etc. It was a very successful exercise and many children received the benefit from our assistance. This year, however, the need in Guatemala is very different. In addition to extreme weather disasters of hurricanes, mudslides and flooding, they have also suffered the effects of a volcano. Like the rest of the world, they are also fighting Covid-19 pandemic. To help them with these various tragedies, the Bishop of Guatemala has suggested that we send donations to be used for basic needs like water, medications, and personal needs. As a parish, we will be dedicating our special Lenten collection to this cause. Would you please consider helping in this very serious and tragic situation? You can give easily on our church website by clicking here (select the “Guatemala” fund), or by check (write “Guatemala” in the memo line). We thank you for your generous giving to the people of St. Mary’s, Sololá.   Mary Lou Parry, Outreach Committee Chair
