    The Collect of the Day Celebrant: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Celebrant: Let us pray.

    O God, who wonderfully created, and yet more wonderfully restored, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, your Son Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The First Reading Jeremiah 31:7-14 Thus says the Lord: Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the chief of the nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, "Save, O Lord, your people, the remnant of Israel." See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north, and gather them from the farthest parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, those with child and those in labor, together; a great company, they shall return here. With weeping they shall come, and with consolations I will lead them back, I will let them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble; for I have become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands far away; say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd a flock.” For the Lord has ransomed Jacob, and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him. They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall become like a watered garden, and they shall never languish again. Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. I will give the priests their fill of fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my bounty, says the Lord. Reader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. The Psalm The people read the verses in bold. Psalm 84:1-8 How dear to me is your dwelling, O Lord of hosts! My soul has a desire and longing for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.

    The sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young; by the side of your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.

    Happy are they who dwell in your house! they will always be praising you.

    Happy are the people whose strength is in you! whose hearts are set on the pilgrims' way.

    Those who go through the desolate valley will find it a place of springs, for the early rains have covered it with pools of water.

    They will climb from height to height, and the God of gods will reveal himself in Zion.

    Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer; hearken, O God of Jacob.

    Behold our defender, O God; and look upon the face of your Anointed.

    Sequence Hymn The Friendly Beasts Wright/Mitzo

    "I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown, "I carried his mother up-hill and down, I carried his mother to Bethlehem town; I', said the donkey, shaggy and brown.

    "I," said the cow, all white and red, "I gave him my manger for his bed, I gave him hay to

    pillow his head; I," said the cow, all white and red.

    "I," said the sheep with curly horn, "I gave him my wool for his blanket warm, he wore my coat on Christmas morn; I," said the sheep with curly horn.

    "I," said the dove, from the rafters high, "I cooed him to sleep that he should not cry, we

    cooed him to sleep, my mate and I; I," said the dove, from the rafters high.

    Thus all the beasts, by some good spell, in the stable dark were glad to tell of the gifts they gave Emmanuel, the gifts they gave Emmanuel.

People: Glory to you, Lord Christ. After the wise men had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him." Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I have called my son." When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child's life are dead." Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee. There he made his home in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazorean." Gospeller: The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise to you, Lord Christ. The Sermon The Rev. Dr. Kurt Gerhard

    The Nicene Creed Page 358 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. 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. 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. The Prayers of the People As we celebrate with joy the birth of Jesus, let us offer prayers to God who gathers his sons and daughters in a holy family. By the birth of the timeless Son of God, we pray,

    Glory and praise to you, O living God. For Michael, our Presiding Bishop, Mariann, our Bishop, for all who minister in Christ, for the church throughout the world and for all the holy people of God, we pray,

    Glory and praise to you, O living God. For all believers who put their trust in the incarnate Son of God, we pray, Glory and praise to you, O living God. For all impacted by the coronavirus pandemic either in their own bodies or in those they love. Provide them strength and peace as they seek the help they need to raise up their body, mind, and soul, we pray,

    Glory and praise to you, O living God. For first responders, especially Dr. Sarah Sommerkamp and David Packard, who with hearts of service, stand on the front lines of providing care. Grant them courage and protection as they put the needs of public safety before their own, we pray,

    Glory and praise to you, O living God. For the leaders of the nations that they may work together for the common good. May barriers that divide be brought down and bonds of trust be strengthened to benefit the entire human family, we pray,

    Glory and praise to you, O living God.

    For all who teach and learn, and especially the ministry of our Day School, that it may be a center of sound learning, new discovery, and the pursuit of wisdom so that our young people will serve God’s kingdom with love and respect, we pray,

    Glory and praise to you, O living God. For those in our parish in need of prayers of healing, Marilyn Mix, Harry Teter, Jean-Luc Princivil, Ron Klingenberg, Paul Geffert, Elizabeth Wagner, David Beers, Cherry Bourque, Mary Grace Corey, Eleanor Hickey, and Claudia Hill, we pray, Glory and praise to you, O living God. For the dying and the dead, especially the over 335,000 in the United States and over 1.8 million around the world who have died of COVID-19 this year, we pray, Glory and praise to you, O living God. For those who celebrate birthdays this week, especially Jeffrey Kim, Richard Hall, Tod Zuscin, Alexandra Meek, Kathy Sommerkamp, Connor Graham, Sean Mulvaney, and Sonali Agrawal; that they might grow in wisdom and grace. With Patrick and all the saints, let us offer ourselves and one another to the living God through Christ, we pray,

    Glory and praise to you, O living God. Let us offer ourselves and one another to the living God through Christ, by praying for our own needs and those of others, either silently or aloud. Blessing of the Prayer Tree The Confession Page 360 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. The Absolution Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. The Peace Celebrant: The peace of the Lord be always with you. People: And also with you. Welcome and Announcements Donate online at www.stpatrickschurchdc.org/give

    The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer A Page 361 Celebrant: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Celebrant: Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People: It is right to give God thanks and praise.

    Celebrant: It is right and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Because in the mystery of the Word made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to give the knowledge of your glory in the face of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 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 and Benedictus qui venit

    Celebrant: Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world. On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, 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 we proclaim the mystery of faith: Celebrant and People: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. Celebrant: We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. 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.

    People: AMEN. The Lord's Prayer Page 364 Celebrant: And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, Celebrant and People: 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 Page 364 Celebrant: Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. People: Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia. Celebrant: The Gifts of God for the People of God. The Post Communion Prayer Page 365 Celebrant and People: Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Blessing

    Support the St. Patrick’s – St. Etienne Haiti Partnership Many have asked how Haiti has fared in 2020. The answer is a mixed one. The good news is that medically, St. Etienne was largely unscathed by the scourge of COVID-19. But of course, there is the offsetting hard news. Loss of classroom time chipped away at educational progress for all, especially for those children who struggle academically and socially. The economic impact of closed markets and job losses was crippling. Even in the face of hardship, the St. Etienne Church and School remains a lifeline to its community; and does so almost exclusively due to the support of St. Patrick’s.

    Visit www.stpatrickschurchdc.org/HaitiAppeal2020 to read more about all the good work generous supporters like you helped make possible during this difficult year. In 2021, we hope to be able to raise our subsidy from $60,000 to $75,000, which would allow us to increase teacher salaries and keep up with the rising costs of providing lunch to the students of St. Etienne.

    It’s easy to donate online at https://onrealm.org/stpatrickschurchdc/give/haiti or via the transfer of shares from your brokerage. Every gift will be put to work to improve the lives of the people of St. Etienne. Thank you, as always, for your support of this important ministry.
