Amen.

2 The Liturgy of the Word Sit. THE FIRST READING Genesis 18:20 32 In those days the Lord said Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry which has come to me; and if not, I will know. So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham still stood before the Lord. Then Abraham drew near, and said, Will you indeed destroy the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will you then destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the Lord said, If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake. Abraham answered, Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five? And he said, I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there. Again he spoke to him, and said, Suppose forty are found there. He answered, For the sake of forty I will not do it. Then he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Suppose thirty are found there. He answered, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. He said, Behold, I have taken upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there. He answered, For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it. Then he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there. He answered, For the sake of ten I will not destroy it. PSALM Psalm 138:1 3; 6 8 When singing simplified Anglican Chant each half-verse of the Psalm (up to, or following, the asterisk [ *]) is sung on the first note, changing to the second (black) note on the word or syllable in italics. The natural rhythm of the text is followed. Make a distinct pause at an upright [ ]. Half verses (set in italics, with the word to be sung on the black note in roman) are sung by repeating from the double bar.

3 & # # œ œ œ 1956, Jerome Webster Meachen. œ I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; * even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee. I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy Name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth; * for thou hast magnifièd thy Name, and thy word, above all things. When I callèd upon thee, thou heardest me; * and enduedst my soul with much strength. For though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; * as for the proud, he beholdeth them afar o^. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me; * thou shalt stretch forth thy hand upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. The Lord shall make good his loving-kindness toward me; * yea, thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever; despise not then the works of thine own hands. Glory be to the Father and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be * world without end. Amen. THE SECOND READING Colossians 2:12 14 Brethren: You were buried with Christ in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, having canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this he set aside, nailing it to the cross. Alleluia Chant: Alleluia, Alleluia. Deliver me from mine enemies, O God : defend me from them that rise up against me. Alleluia.

4 THE HOLY GOSPEL Luke 11:1 13 Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples. And he said to them, When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation. And he said to them, Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him ; and he will answer from within, Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything? I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever he needs. And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! Homily Sit.

8 Lord, teach us to pray And he said to them, When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. The full text of the Lord s prayer as given in today s Gospel is here, starting below the [added] angle in the right column and ending at the bottom. If you would like to try your hand reading KOINE Greek from a very clearly-written ancient Bible (known as the CODEX SINIATICVS), here is the text in modern Greek type (with verse numbers added): [2] πατερ αγιαϲθητω το ονομα ϲου ελθατω η βαϲιλια ϲου γενηθητω το θελημα ϲου ωϲ εν ουρανω ουτω και επι γηϲ [3] τον αρτον ημων τον επιουϲιον δοϲ ημιν καθ ημεραν [4] και αφεϲ ημιν ταϲ αμαρτιαϲ ημων ωϲ και αυτοι αφιεμεν παντι οφιλοντι ημιν και μη ειϲενεγκηϲ ημαϲ ειϲ πιραϲμο. This mid-fourth century manuscript is the earliest complete copy of the canonical Christian Bible. It was written on parchment by three (or perhaps four) scribes at Saint Catherine s Monastery on Mount Sinai. The care with which the volume was written and constructed; the many corrections made to it over centuries (some of which can be seen); together with the completeness of its text make CODEX SINIATICVS a uniquely valuable source for Biblical scholarship. The novelties of its construction, brought about by the volume s sheer size, make it a milestone in information technology equal to the advent of printing with movable type and personal computers. Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed, Alleluia! We welcome you in the Lord s Name, and rejoice that you are here to worship with us today. If you would like to learn more about the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, established by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012, our community within it here North of Boston, or the Ordinariate s form of the Catholic Mass which we celebrate please speak with the clergy after Mass or contact us at or via at o~ce@saintgregoryordinariate.org. May God bless you richly.f
