Prelude: Variations on a German folktune Hugo Distler
(1908–1942)
Entrance Hymn 424, “For the fruit of all creation” East Acklam
Opening Acclamation BCP, p. 355

People And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.
Collect of Purity BCP, p. 355
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you

The Collect of the Day BCP, p. 233
The Liturgy of the Word
First Reading Deuteronomy 4:1–2, 6–9
Moses said: So now, Israel, give heed to the statutes and ordinances that I am teaching you to
observe, so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your ances-
tors, is giving you. You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away any-
thing from it, but keep the commandments of the Lord your God with which I am charging you.
You must observe them diligently, for this will show your wisdom and discernment to the
peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and
discerning people!” For what other great nation has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is
whenever we call to him? And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this
entire law that I am setting before you today?
But take care and watch yourselves closely, so as neither to forget the things that your eyes have
seen nor to let them slip from your mind all the days of your life; make them known to your
children and your children’s children.
The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
5Psalm 15 BCP, p. 599
Domine, quis habitabit?
1
Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? *
who may abide upon your holy hill?
2
Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, *
who speaks the truth from his heart.
3
There is no guile upon his tongue;
he does no evil to his friend; *
he does not heap contempt upon his neighbor.
4
In his sight the wicked is rejected, *
but he honors those who fear the Lord.
5
He has sworn to do no wrong *
and does not take back his word.
6
He does not give his money in hope of gain, *
nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
7
Whoever does these things *
shall never be overthrown.
Second Reading James 1:17–27
Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the
Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. In fulfillment of his
own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits
of his creatures.
You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to
anger; for your anger does not produce God's righteousness. Therefore rid yourselves of all
sordidness and rank growth of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word that
has the power to save your souls.
6But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. For if any are hearers
of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at
themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. But those who look into
the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act-
they will be blessed in their doing.
If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their
religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care
for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Sequence Hymn 628, “Help us, O Lord, to learn” St. Ethelwald
The Holy Gospel Mark 7:1–8, 14–15, 21–23
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
When the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around
him, they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without
washing them. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their
hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; and they do not eat anything from the market
unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of
cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your
disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” He said to
them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written,
‘This people honors me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me;
in vain do they worship me,
teaching human precepts as doctrines.’
You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”
Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand: there
is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what
defile.” For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft,
murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these
evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
7Homily
After the Homily, silence will be kept.
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, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became
truly human. 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,
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who 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.
