3 ST. MARGARET'S DAY JULY 23, :00 & 11:15 A.M. HOLY EUCHARIST RITE TWO PRELUDE The people stand as able. PROCESSIONAL HYMN Rise up, ye saints of God Festal Song OPENING ACCLAMATION Blessed be the one, holy, and living God. Glory to God for ever and ever. COLLECT FOR PURITY Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. 3

4 CANTICLE 12 COLLECT OF THE DAY God be with you. And also with you. Let us pray. Almighty and everlasting God, you choose those whom the world deems powerless to put the powerful to shame: Grant us so to cherish the memory of your youthful martyr Margaret, that we may share her pure and steadfast faith in you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The people are seated. 4

5 FIRST LESSON Proverbs 8:32-9:6 A reading from the book of Proverbs. "And now, my children, listen to me: happy are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and do not neglect it. Happy is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors. For whoever finds me finds life and obtains favour from the Lord; but those who miss me injure themselves; all who hate me love death." Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn her seven pillars. She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. She has sent out her servant-girls, she calls from the highest places in the town, "You that are simple, turn in here!" To those without sense she says, "Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight." Reader The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. PSALM 86: Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; * knit my heart to you that I may fear your Name. 12 I will thank you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, * and glorify your Name for evermore. 5

6 Refrain 13 For great is your love toward me; * you have delivered me from the nethermost Pit. 14 The arrogant rise up against me, O God, and a band of violent men seeks my life; * they have not set you before their eyes. Refrain 15 But you, O Lord, are gracious and full of compassion, * slow to anger, and full of kindness and truth. 16 Turn to me and have mercy upon me; * give your strength to your servant; and save the child of your handmaid. 17 Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; * because you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me. Refrain SECOND LESSON 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 A reading from the second letter to the Corinthians. What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch nothing unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be your father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." 6

7 Reader The people stand as able. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. As the Gospel moment approaches, and the book is processed and the music plays, everyone turns and reorients themselves to face where the Gospel is, for the teachings of Jesus reorient our lives towards Him, and at this moment, we become the Jesus Movement. Presiding Bishop Michael Curry SEQUENCE HYMN By all your saints still striving Nyland (second verse lyrics by Judith Haugh) 2. We sing with laud of Margaret, whose essence was restored; a maiden yet unwilling, responded to her Lord. By sword and cross she vanquished and felt the Spirit come. O God, your holy servant still lives in Martyrdom. GOSPEL Matthew 5:1-12 Priest The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory to you, Lord Christ. When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 7

8 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Priest The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ. The people may be seated. SERMON The Rev. Jane Milliken Hague A moment of silence is observed after the sermon. The people stand as able. NICENE CREED and 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. 8

9 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. PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE DeVaughn Leader Let us pray to the Lord, our light and our life. May we help our sisters and brothers, children, youth, and elderly who are afraid and who need a healing touch, especially.. O God, We offer our hearts and our tears. May we hold before God those who have died... and those who are sad because someone they loved has died; as well as any who are disappointed in something that has ended for which they had great hope. Of God, We offer our sympathy and love. May we use our gifts to end violence and oppression. May we see and hear the signs and stories of violence so we can reach out to those in pain and confusion. O God, We offer our eyes and ears. May we be freed from insensitivity to the power of words and actions that bind women to economic injustice, sexual abuse, and emotional injury. O God, We offer our love and support. May we become a people who truly live out in both our actions and our language a lifestyle of equality, mutual respect, and appreciation for all uniqueness. O God, We offer our open minds and commitment. Loving God, you are the one who desires that all people be brought into right relationship with one another and with you. As our blessed Saint Margaret of Antioch stood up to aggression and authority, give us courage and show us the path to justice so we are filled with your healing power. In your name we pray. Amen. CONFESSION OF SIN Let us confess our sins to God. The people kneel or stand as able. 9

10 and God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen. Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through the grace of Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. PEACE The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you. The people greet one another with the Peace and are seated. WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS HOLY COMMUNION The people remain seated while offertory music is played, and bread and wine are brought to the altar. An offering of gifts is collected, and along with the bread and wine, they are presented to God as thanksgiving for the blessings poured out onto us. Our gifts: bread, wine, music and money, become sacramental in God s economy. OFFERTORY MUSIC (You may use ths QR code to connect to our online giving site with your cell phone.) GREAT THANKSGIVING Enriching Our Worship I The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. 10

11 It is truly right, and good and joyful, to give you thanks, all-holy God, source of life and fountain of mercy. For the wonderful grace and virtue declared in Mary, Margaret, and all your saints, who have been the chosen vessels of your grace, and the lights of the world in their generations. For you are the source of light and life, you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, joining with Angels and Archangel, and with the faithful of every generation, we lift our voices with all creation as we sing: SANCTUS Iona 11

12 Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of the universe and giver of life. You formed us in your own image and called us to dwell in your infinite love. You gave the world into our care that we might be your faithful stewards and show forth your bountiful grace. But we failed to honor your image in one another and in ourselves; we would not see your goodness in the world around us; and so we violated your creation, abused one another, and rejected your love. Yet you never ceased to care for us, and prepared the way of salvation for all people. Through Abraham and Sarah you called us into covenant with you. You delivered us from slavery, sustained us in the wilderness, and raised up prophets to renew your promise of salvation. Then, in the fullness of time, you sent your eternal Word, made mortal flesh in Jesus. Born into the human family, and dwelling among us, he revealed your glory. Giving himself freely to death on the cross, he triumphed over evil, opening the way of freedom and life. On the night before he died for us, our Savior Jesus Christ took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his friends, and said: Take, eat: This is my Body which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. As supper was ending, Jesus 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 poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me. 12

13 Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: and Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. The continues Remembering his death and resurrection, we now present to you from your creation this bread and this wine. By your Holy Spirit may they be for us the Body and Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. Grant that we who share these gifts may be filled with the Holy Spirit and live as Christ s Body in the world. Bring us into the everlasting heritage of your daughters and sons, that with Mary, Margaret, and all your saints, past, present, and yet to come, we may praise your Name for ever. Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise, for ever and ever. Amen. LORD'S PRAYER And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we pray, and 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. BREAKING OF THE BREAD FRACTION ANTHEM Enriching our Worship I God of promise, you have prepared a banquet for us. Happy are those who are called to the Supper of the Lamb. 13

This is the prayer we use to send them on their way.

19 St. Margaret of Antioch Nothing certain is known of her, but according to legend, she was the daughter of a pagan priest at Antioch in Pisidia. Also known as Marina, she was converted to Christianity, whereupon she was driven from home by her father. She became a shepherdess and when she spurned the advances of Olybrius, the prefect, who was infatuated with her beauty, he charged her with being a Christian. He had her tortured and then imprisoned, and while she was in prison she had an encounter with the devil in the form of a dragon. According to the legend, he swallowed her, but the cross she carried in her hand so irritated his throat that he was forced to disgorge her (she is patroness of childbirth). The next day, attempts were made to execute her by fire and then by drowning, but she was miraculously saved and converted thousands of spectators witnessing her ordeal-all of whom were promptly executed. Finally, she was beheaded. Her story was immensely popular in the Middle Ages, spreading from the East all over Western Europe. She is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, and hers was one of the voices heard by Joan of Arc. Her feast day is July 20th. 19
