C: Amen.
OLD TESTAMENT READING Jonah 1:1-17 Now the Word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before Me. But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went on board, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD. But the LORD hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened to break up. Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. And they hurled the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone down into the inner part of the ship and had lain down and was fast asleep. So the captain came and said to him, What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call out to your God! Perhaps the God will give a thought to us, that we may not perish. And they said to one another, Come, let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah. Then they said to him, Tell us on whose account this evil has come upon us. What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you? And he said to them, I am a Hebrew, and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land. Then the men were exceedingly afraid and said to him, What is this that you have done! For the men knew that he was fleeing from the Presence of the LORD, because he had told them. Then they said to him, What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us? For the sea grew more and more tempestuous. He said to them, Pick me up and hurl me into the sea; then the sea will quiet down for you, for I know it is because of me that this great tempest has come upon you. Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to get back to dry land, but they could not, for the sea grew more and more tempestuous against them. Therefore, they called out to the LORD, O LORD, let us not perish for this man s life, and lay not on us innocent blood, for You, O LORD, have done as it pleased You. So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows. And the LORD appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. P: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God.
GRADUAL Psalm 102:15, 16 C: Nations will fear the Name^ of the LORD,* and all the kings of the earth will fear Your^ Glory. For the LORD builds up^ Zion;* He appears in His^ Glory. EPISTLE Romans 8:18-23 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. P: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Stand ALLELUIA Psalm 97:1 C: Alle^luia!* Alle^luia! The LORD reigns, let the ^earth rejoice; let the many coast^lands be glad! Alle^luia!* Alle^luia! HOLY GOSPEL Matthew 8:23-27 P: The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, the 8 th chapter. C: Glory be to Thee, O Lord. When [Jesus] got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He was asleep. And they went and woke Him, saying, Save us, Lord; we are perishing. And He said to them, Why are you afraid, O you of little faith? Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, What sort of Man is this, that even winds and sea obey Him? P: This is the Gospel of the Lord. C: Praise be to Thee, O Christ. NICENE CREED Hymnal page: 191 Sit IF GOD FORSOOK US AT THIS TIME (see Inside Back Cover of Bulletin)
