OPENING HYMN       The Church Is One Foundation 
 
COLLECT     
O ALMIGHTY God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men; Grant unto thy people, that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed, where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
The Word of God 
Psalm 107
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. Ps 107
 
Epistle.  St. James 1. 17.
 
THE SEQUENCE HYMN --    Take Up Your Cross
 
GOSPEL.     St. John xvi. 5. 
 
THE GOSPEL INTROIT   Psalm 100

NICENE CREED
I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And all things visible and invisible: And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God; Begotten, not made; Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made:  Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures: And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on  the right hand of the Father: And he shall come again, with glory to judge the quick and the dead; Whose  kingdom shall have no end.
 
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the Prophets: And I believe in one, Catholic and Apostolic Church: I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: And I look for the Resurrection of the dead: And the Life of the world to come.  Amen.

The BENEDICTION
 
"WATCH HOW YOU GO!"
 
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 
This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it:

hang on these two commandments."    Matt. 22:36-40
