Collect<br />
O Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
who at thy first coming didst send thy messenger<br />
to prepare thy way before thee:<br />
grant that the ministers and stewards of thy mysteries<br />
may likewise so prepare and make ready thy way<br />
by turning the hearts of the disobedient to the wisdom of the just,<br />
that at thy second coming to judge the world<br />
we may be found an acceptable people in thy sight;<br />

A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah: Isaiah 61.1-4, 8-end<br />
The Servant of the Lord said:<br />
The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me;<br />
he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,<br />
to bind up the broken-hearted,<br />
to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners;<br />
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour, and the day of vengeance of our God;<br />
to comfort all who mourn;<br />
to provide for those who mourn in Zion—to give them a garland instead of ashes,<br />
the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.<br />
They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, to display his glory.<br />
They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations;<br />
they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.<br />
For I the LORD love justice, I hate robbery and wrongdoing;<br />
I will faithfully give them their recompense,<br />
and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.<br />
Their descendants shall be known among the nations,<br />
and their offspring among the peoples;<br />
all who see them shall acknowledge<br />
that they are a people whom the LORD has blessed.<br />
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my whole being shall exult in my God;<br />
for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation,<br />
he has covered me with the robe of righteousness,<br />
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,<br />
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.<br />
For as the earth brings forth its shoots,<br />
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,<br />
so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise<br />
to spring up before all the nations.<br />
Reader: This is the word of the Lord.<br />
Response: Thanks be to God.<br />
A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Thessalonians:<br />
1 Thessalonians 5.16-24<br />
My brothers and sisters,<br />
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this<br />
is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not
despise the words of prophets, but test everything; hold fast to what is good;<br />
abstain from every form of evil.<br />
May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and<br />
soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus<br />
Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.<br />
Reader: This is the word of the Lord.<br />
Response: Thanks be to God.<br />
The Gospel - Sung by all<br />
Choir:<br />
The spirit of the Lord is upon me.<br />
He has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. Luke 4.18<br />
All:<br />
Alleluia, Alleluia….<br />
Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John: John 1.6-8, 19-28<br />
Response: Glory be to thee, O Lord<br />
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness<br />
to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not<br />
the light, but he came to testify to the light.<br />
This is the testimony given by John when the Jews sent priests and Levites<br />
from Jerusalem to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ He confessed and did not deny it,<br />
but confessed, ‘I am not the Messiah.’ And they asked him, ‘What then? Are<br />
you Elijah?’ He said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you the prophet?’ He answered, ‘No.’ Then<br />
they said to him, ‘Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us.<br />
What do you say about yourself?’ He said,<br />
‘I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,<br />
“Make straight the way of the Lord” ’,<br />
as the prophet Isaiah said.<br />
Now they had been sent from the Pharisees. They asked him, ‘Why then are<br />
you baptizing if you are neither the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?’ John<br />
answered them, ‘I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do<br />
not know, the one who is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the thong<br />
of his sandal.’ This took place in Bethany across the Jordan where John was<br />
baptizing.<br />
Reader: This is the Gospel of the Lord.<br />
Response: Praise be to thee, O Christ.
