THE LESSONS

Isaiah 51:1-6

Listen to me, you that pursue righteousness,you that seek the Lord.

Look to the rock from which you were hewn,and to the quarry from which you were dug.

Look to Abraham your fatherand to Sarah who bore you;

for he was but one when I called him,but I blessed him and made him many.

For the Lord will comfort Zion;he will comfort all her waste places,

and will make her wilderness like Eden,her desert like the garden of the Lord;

joy and gladness will be found in her,thanksgiving and the voice of song.

Listen to me, my people,and give heed to me, my nation;

for a teaching will go out from me,and my justice for a light to the peoples.

I will bring near my deliverance swiftly,my salvation has gone outand my arms will rule the peoples;

the coastlands wait for me,and for my arm they hope.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens,and look at the earth beneath;

for the heavens will vanish like smoke,the earth will wear out like a garment,and those who live on it will die like gnats;

but my salvation will be for ever,and my deliverance will never be ended.

Canticle 21: You are God Te Deum laudamus BCP 95

Officiant: Let us offer the Canticle together.All: You are God: we praise you;

You are the Lord; we acclaim you; You are the eternal Father: All creation worships you. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. The glorious company of apostles praise you. The noble fellowship of prophets praise you. The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you; Father, of majesty unbounded, your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide. You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father. When you became man to set us free you did not shun the Virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of death and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory. We believe that you will come and be our judge. Come then, Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saints to glory everlasting. Amen

Romans 12:1-8

I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies asa living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not beconformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you maydiscern what is the will of God-- what is good and acceptable and perfect.

`For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highlythan you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faiththat God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members havethe same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are membersone of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportionto faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, ingenerosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.

Canticle S: A Song of Our True Nature EOW 40

Julian of Norwich

Officiant: Let us offer the Canticle in unison.All: Christ revealed our frailty and our falling, *

our trespasses and our humiliations.Christ also revealed his blessed power, *

his blessed wisdom and love.He protects us as tenderly and as sweetlywhen we are in greatest need; *

he raises us in spiritand turns everything to glory and joy without ending.

God is the ground and the substance,the very essence of nature; *

God is the true father and mother of natures.We are all bound to God by nature, *

and we are all bound to God by grace.And this grace is for all the world, *

because it is our precious mother, Christ.For this fair nature was prepared by Christ

for the honor and nobility of all, *and for the joy and bliss of salvation. Amen

When Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do peoplesay that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and stillothers Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” SimonPeter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him,“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but myFather in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and thegates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, andwhatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosedin heaven.” Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

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

The First Reading

A living God is a dynamic God and not a static God whose clearest communication happened inthe past. Jesus is the Messiah of the living God. Jesus, as Son of Man, means that God continues tospeak and to act. God does not have to resurrect John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or any otherprophet to speak. God never ceases to exist and to create and to anoint. Commentary on Matthew 16:13-20 by Mitzi J. Smith

Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.People: Thanks be to God.

Canticle 9: The First Song of Isaiah Ecce Deus BCP 86

Isaiah 12:2-6

Lay Leader: Let us offer the Canticle together.All: Surely, it is God who saves me;

I will trust in him and not be afraid.For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,

and he will be my Savior.Therefore you shall draw water with rejoicing

from the springs of salvation.And on that day you shall say,

Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name;Make his deeds known among the peoples;

see that they remember that his Name is exalted.Sing the praises of the Lord, for he has done great things,

and this is known in all the world.Cry aloud, inhabitants of Zion, ring out your joy,

for the great one in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel.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 Second Reading

Gathered in Caesarea Philippi, Jesus wonders aloud what the crowds are saying about him but moreimportantly what the disciples think. It’s another way of saying, “Why are you following me? Whyhave you left everything you know? Who do you say that I am?” And so it might be worthwhile toask the faithful today a similar question. Why are you here? Why have you chosen to follow thisGalilean peasant? Why are you on this path?

Commentary on Matthew 16:13-20 by Eric Barreto

Reader: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.People: Thanks be to God.

Shared Reflections on the Readings

Affirmation of Faith from Iona Abbey Worship Service, p. 108

Lay Leader: Let us stand and affirm our faith.All: We believe in Jesus Christ, Son of the One God, Maker and sustainer of earth, sea,

and sky. Born of Mary’s womb, faithful to the God of Abraham and Sarah, Jesushealed the sick, served the poor, and proclaimed heaven on earth. Condemned bythe religious, crucified by the state, he died but transformed even death and rose tolife everlasting. He blessed the disciples with his Holy Spirit and sent them forth,east and west, north and south. We commit ourselves to Jesus, to one another asbrothers and sisters, and to his mission in the world in the grace of the Holy Spirit.Amen
