THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
THE OLD TESTAMENT Joel 2:23-32
O children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he has given the early
rain for your vindication, he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the
later rain, as before. The threshing floors shall be full of grain, the vats shall overflow
with wine and oil. I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten,
the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent against you.
You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God,
who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame.
You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, the Lord, am your God and
there is no other.
And my people shall never again be put to shame.
Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
Even on the male and female slaves, in those days, I will pour out my spirit. I will show
portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun
shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of
the Lord comes. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved; for in
Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and
among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.
Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.
PSALM 65 (sung by all) Anglican Chant by Jerome Meacham
© 1956, Jerome Webster Meachen.
1 You are to be praised, O God, in/ Zion; *
to you shall vows be performed in Je-/rusalem.
2 To you that hear prayer shall all flesh/ come, *
because of their trans-/gressions.
3 Our sins are stronger than we/ are, *
but you will blot them/ out.
3
4 Happy are they whom you choose and draw to your courts to/ dwell there! *
they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house, by the holiness of your/ temple.
5 Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness,
O God of our sal-/vation, *
O Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the seas that are far a-/way.
6 You make fast the mountains by your/ power; *
they are girded about with/ might.
7 You still the roaring of the/ seas, *
the roaring of their waves, and the clamor of the/ peoples.
8 Those who dwell at the ends of the earth will tremble at your marvelous/ signs; *
you make the dawn and the dusk to sing for/ joy.
9 You visit the earth and water it abundantly; you make it very/ plenteous; *
the river of God is full of/ water.
10 You prepare the/ grain, *
for so you provide for the/ earth.
11 You drench the furrows and smooth out the/ ridges; *
with heavy rain you soften the ground and bless its/ increase.
12 You crown the year with your/ goodness, *
and your paths overflow with/ plenty.
13 May the fields of the wilderness be rich for/ grazing, *
and the hills be clothed with/ joy.
14 May the meadows cover themselves with flocks,
and the valleys cloak themselves with/ grain; *
let them shout for joy and/ sing.
THE EPISTLE II Timothy 4:6-8, 16-18
I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. I
have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on
there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge,
will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his
appearing.
At my first defense no one came to my support, but all deserted me. May it not be
counted against them! But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through
me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was
rescued from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and save
me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.
THE SEQUENCE
For the fruit of all creation Hymnal 424
THE GOSPEL Luke 18:9-14
Priest The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and
regarded others with contempt: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee
and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, `God,
I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this
tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.' But the tax collector,
standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying,
`God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his home justified
rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble
themselves will be exalted."
Priest The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

you have overcome sin and brought us to yourself, and that by the sealing of your Holy
Spirit you have bound us to your service. Renew in these your servants the covenant you
made with them at their Baptism. Send them forth in the power of the Spirit to perform
the service you set before them; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Bishop lays hands upon each one to be confirmed and says

your Holy Spirit ever be with them; and so lead them in the knowledge and obedience of
your Word, that they may serve you in this life, and dwell with you in the life to come;
