SENTENCE
The Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and
will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will
wipe away every tear from their eyes. Revelation 7.17
COLLECT
Gracious God,
you sent Jesus, the good shepherd,
to gather us together:
may we not wander from his flock,
but follow wherever he leads us,
listening for his voice and staying near him,
until we are safely in your fold,
to live with you for ever;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
FIRST READING Acts 9.36-43
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles
Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which
in Greek is Dorcas. She was devoted to good works and acts of
charity. At that time she became ill and died. When they had washed
her, they laid her in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was near Joppa,
the disciples, who heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him
with the request, ‘Please come to us without delay.’ So Peter got up
and went with them; and when he arrived, they took him to the room
upstairs. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing
tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was with
them. Peter put all of them outside, and then he knelt down and
prayed. He turned to the body and said, ‘Tabitha, get up.’ Then she
opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up. He gave her his hand
and helped her up. Then calling the saints and widows, he showed
her to be alive. This became known throughout Joppa, and many
believed in the Lord. Meanwhile he stayed in Joppa for some time
with a certain Simon, a tanner.
Hear the word of the Lord,
thanks be to God.
Psalm 23
1. The Lord | is my | shepherd :
therefore | can I | lack | nothing.
2. He will make me lie down in | green | pastures :
and | lead me • be | side still | waters.
3. He will re | fresh my | soul :
and guide me in right pathways | for his | name's | sake.
4. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I
will | fear no | evil :
for you are with me;
your | rod • and your | staff | comfort me.
5. You spread a table before me in the face of | those who |
trouble me :
you have anointed my head with oil | and my | cup • shall
be | full.
6. Surely your goodness and loving-kindness will follow me all
the | days • of my | life :
and I shall dwell in the | house • of the | Lord for | ever.
SECOND READING Revelation 7.9-17
A reading from the Revelation of St John
After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one
could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and
languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed
in white, with palm branches in their hands.
They cried out in a loud voice, saying,
‘Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to
the Lamb!’
And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders
and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the
throne and worshipped God,
singing,
‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honour
and power and might
be to our God for ever and ever! Amen.’
Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, ‘Who are these,
robed in white, and where have they come from?’
I said to him, ‘Sir, you are the one that knows.’ Then he said to
me, ‘These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they
have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the
Lamb.
For this reason they are before the throne of God,
and worship him day and night within his temple,
and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them.
They will hunger no more, and thirst no more;
the sun will not strike them,
nor any scorching heat;
for the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their shepherd,
and he will guide them to springs of the water of life,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’
Hear the word of the Lord,
thanks be to God.
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
GOSPEL John 10.22-30
Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to John.
Glory to you, Lord Je-sus Christ.
At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem.
It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico
of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him,
‘How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah,
tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered, ‘I have told you, and you do not
believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name testify to me; but
you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My
sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them
eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out
of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else,
and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I
are one.’
This is the Gospel of the Lord,
praise to you Lord Je-sus Christ.
Sursum corda
Invitation to Communion
Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
Happy are those who are called to his supper.
Lord I am not worthy to receive you,
but only say the word, and I shall be healed.
