Reading: Wisdom of Solomon 6:12-16
12Wisdom is radiant and unfading, and she is easily discerned by those who love her, and is found by those who seek her. 13She hastens to make herself known to those who desire her.

14One who rises early to seek her will have no difficulty, for she will be found sitting at the gate. 15To fix one's thought on her is perfect understanding, and one who is vigilant on her account will soon be free from care,

16because she goes about seeking those worthy of her, and she graciously appears to them in their paths, and meets them in every thought.

1Be pleased, O God, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me.
Reading: Psalm 70 1Be pleased, O God, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me. 2Let those who seek my life be put to shame and confounded; let those who take pleasure in my misfortune draw back and be disgraced.

Reading: Psalm 70 3Let those who say to me “Aha!” and gloat over me turn back because of their shame. 4Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation say forever, “Great is the Lord!”

Reading: Psalm 70 5But as for me, I am poor and needy; come to me quickly, O God. You are my helper and my deliverer; O Lord, do not tarry.

Words of Institution In the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks; broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take and eat; this is my body, given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin. P

The Lord’s Prayer C Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses…

The Lord’s Prayer …as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. C
