We Shine Like Stars in the World (v. 1-2)

(Diocesan Bicentennial Hymn, D. Keeley 2019. Used with permission.)

Refrain:

We shine like stars in the world, as we hold fast to the Word of Life.

The light of Christ will guide us on our way in times of peace and strife.

From mountains to the sea,

we shall proclaim with one accord,

the good news of our Savior Jesus Christ King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

We gather as one body, to hear your Word proclaimed.

We share in Christ’s Communion, sent forth with faith sustained. Throughout all generations, your people gather in prayer.

Gloria

Glory to God in the highest,

and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you,

we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you,

we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King,

O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world,

have mercy on us;

you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,

with the Holy Spirit,

in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Genesis 3: 9-15, 20

After Adam had eaten of the tree, the LORD God called to him and asked him, “Where are you?”

He answered, “I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.”

Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked? You have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!”

The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me - she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.”

The LORD God then asked the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?” The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.”

Then the LORD God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the

woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.”

The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.

Responsorial:

Psalm 87

“Glorious things are told of you, O city of God.”

His foundation upon the holy mountains the LORD loves:

The gates of Zion,

more than any dwelling of Jacob. R.

Glorious things are said of you, O city of God!

And of Zion they shall say:

“One and all were born in her; And he who has established her is the Most High LORD.” R.

They shall note, when the peoples are enrolled: “This man was born there.”

And all shall sing, in their festive dance: “My home is within you.” R.

Acts 1: 12-14

After Jesus had been taken up to heaven, the Apostles returned to

Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away.

When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas,

Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.

All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

Gospel:

John 19: 25-34

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman,

behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the

Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I thirst.” There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of

hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.

Now since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken

down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately Blood and water flowed out.

Profession of Faith

I believe in one God, the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,

begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

(At the words that follow, up to and including and became man, all bow.)

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day 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.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Diocesan Bicentennial Prayer:

Father of lights, the radiance of your Son has guided the advance of the Gospel across the Diocese of Richmond for two centuries, strengthening our Church from the Eastern Shore to the Cumberland Gap.

Grant that the nearness of your Son may dispel the darkness of our sins, so that as our love increases more and more, we may dare more than ever to fearlessly proclaim the word.

Holding fast to the word of life, may we shine like stars in the world. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and

reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.

Communion Hymn:

We Shine Like Stars in the World (v. 3-4)

(Diocesan Bicentennial Hymn, D. Keeley 2019. Used with permission.)

Refrain:

We shine like stars in the world, as we hold fast to the Word of Life.

The light of Christ will guide us on our way in times of peace and strife.

From mountains to the sea,

we shall proclaim with one accord,

the good news of our Savior Jesus Christ King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

For all who’ve gone before us, through sickness, war and fear, We carry on the mission our loved ones held so dear.

Christ calls His sheep to follow, to serve all those we meet.

Closing Hymn:

Sing We of the Blessed Mother

Sing we of the blessed Mother Who received the angel’s word, And obedient to the summons Bore in love the infant Lord; Sing we of the joys of Mary

At whose breast that child was fed Who is Son of God eternal

And the everlasting Bread.

Sing we, too, of Mary’s sorrows,

Of the sword that pierced her through, When beneath the cross of Jesus She his weight of suff’ring knew, Looked upon her Son and Savior Reigning from the awful tree, Saw the price of our redemption Paid to set the sinner free.

Sing again the joys of Mary When she saw the risen Lord,

And in prayer with Christ’s apostles, Waited on his promised word;

From on high the blazing glory Of the Spirit’s presence came,

Heav’nly breath of God’s own being, Tokened in the wind and flame.

Sing the greatest joy of Mary

When on earth her work was done, And the Lord of all creation

Brought her to his heav’nly home; Virgin Mother, Mary blessed,

Raised on high and crowned with grace, May your Son, the world’s redeemer, Grant us all to see his face.
