CONFESSION OF SIN BCP 79-80
The Officiant says to the people
Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of
Almighty God our heavenly Father, to set forth his praise, to hear
his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others,
those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation. And
so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him,
let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts
confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite
goodness and mercy.
Officiant and People together, all kneeling
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 neighbors 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 in
your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
The Priest alone stands and says
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins
through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and
by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

THE LESSONS BCP 84
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS Genesis 45:1-15
Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who
stood by him, and he cried out, “Send everyone away from me.” So no
one stayed with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the
household of Pharaoh heard it. Joseph said to his brothers, “I am
Joseph. Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not
answer him, so dismayed were they at his presence. Then Joseph said
to his brothers, “Come closer to me.” And they came closer. He
said, “I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now
do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me
here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. For the famine
has been in the land these two years; and there are five more years
in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. God sent me
before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep
alive for you many survivors. So it was not you who sent me here,
but God; he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his
house and ruler over all the land of Egypt. Hurry and go up to my
father and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me
lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay. You shall settle
in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your
children and your children’s children, as well as your flocks, your
herds, and all that you have. I will provide for you there—since
there are five more years of famine to come—so that you and your
household, and all that you have, will not come to poverty.’ And
now your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my
own mouth that speaks to you. You must tell my father how greatly I
am honored in Egypt, and all that you have seen. Hurry and bring my
father down here.” Then he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck
and wept, while Benjamin wept upon his neck. And he kissed all his
brothers and wept upon them; and after that his brothers talked
with him.

A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE ROMANS Romans 11:12a,
29-32
I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself
am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of
Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. For the
gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Just as you were once
disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their
disobedience, so they have now been disobedient in order that, by
the mercy shown to you, they too may now receive mercy. For God has
imprisoned all in disobedience so that he may be merciful to
all.

A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW Matthew 15:10-28
Jesus called the crowd to him and said to them, “Listen and
understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a
person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.” Then
the disciples approached and said to him, “Do you know that the
Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?” He answered,
“Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be
uprooted. Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And
if one blind person guides another, both will fall into a pit.” But
Peter said to him, “Explain this parable to us.” Then he said, “Are
you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever
goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the
sewer? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and
this is what defiles. For out of the heart come evil intentions,
murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. These
are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not
defile.” Jesus left that place and went away to the district of
Tyre and Sidon. Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came
out and started shouting, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my
daughter is tormented by a demon.” But he did not answer her at
all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, “Send her away,
for she keeps shouting after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to
the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt
before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” He answered, “It is not fair
to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” She said,
“Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their
masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your
faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was
healed instantly.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and
earth;
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was
conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin
Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and
was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose
again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of
the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the
dead.
