The Homily

                             The Very Rev. Dario G. Palasi

                          Priest, St. John’s & Dean of Flushing Deanery 

The Nicene Creed 

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 on baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. 

THE INTERCESSIONS

People:      Lord, hear our prayer. 

Myrna Seah:  We pray for your holy Catholic Church especially St. John’s Episcopal Church: Fill it will truth, righteousness, and peace; and grant that all confess your holy Name may agree in the truth of your holy Word, and live together in unity and love.

Ed Abeya:   Give grace, heavenly Father, to all bishops, priests, and deacons. By their life and teachings may they faithfully proclaim your true and life-giving Word and administer your holy Sacraments.

Confession of Sin

Minister and People 

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 neighbor 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 on your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Offertory Hymn

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING 

Celebrant:    The Lord be with you.                          

People:      And also with you. 

Celebrant:   Lift up your hearts.                                          

People:     We lift them up to the Lord. 

Celebrant:   Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.  

People:     It is right to give him 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. 

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. In fulfillment of his true promise, the Holy Spirit came down from heaven, lighting upon the disciples, to teach them and to lead them into all truth; uniting peoples of many tongues in the confession of one faith, and giving to your Church the power to serve you as a royal priesthood, and to preach the Gospel to all nations. 

Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with Angles and Archangels  and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: 

Celebrant and People 

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. 

Then the  celebrant continues 

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 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. 

The celebrant continues 

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. Amen. 

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, 

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, hollowed 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. 

[Alleluia.]  Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;

Therefore let us keep the feast. [Alleluia.] 

The gifts of God for the people of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed  on him in yours hearts by faith with thanksgiving. 

Communion Hymn

                      Hymn 357: JESUS SON OF MARY                                 

After the communion, the Celebrant says 

Let us pray. 

Celebrant & People 

Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as a living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with your 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. 

Blessing and Dismissal 

The blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with you for ever. Amen.

Celebrant:   Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.

People:   Thanks be to God.
