Service of the Word

Introit Ps. 19:1, 4c, 56; antiphon: Is. 45:8a, b

P Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness;C let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit.

P The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.C In them he has set a tent for the sun,

P which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,C and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.

P Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them,

C and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Nicene Creed (10:45)

C I believe in one God,

the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth

and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the only-begotten Son of God,

begotten of His Father before all worlds,

God of God, Light of Light,

very God of very 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 heavenand was incarnate by the Holy Spirit 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 sits at the right hand of the Father.

And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead,

whose kingdom will have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord and giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified,

who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,

I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,

and I look for the resurrection of the deadand the life TTTT of the world to come. Amen
