Collect
of the Day
Let us pray.
Risen Christ,
you filled your disciples with boldness and fresh hope:
strengthen us to proclaim your risen life
and fill us with your peace,
The Proclamation of the
Word of God
The
First Reading
A Reading from Isaiah (61.1-3).
The
spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; he has sent me to
bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of
the Lord’s
favour, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to
provide for those who mourn in Zion — to give them a garland instead of ashes, the
oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint
spirit. They will be called oaks of
righteousness, the planting of the Lord, to display his glory.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the
church.
Thanks
be to God.
The
Psalm of the Day
Psalm 90.13-17 with Refrain from Songs for
the Holy One
Refrain (twice): Gracious
God, strengthen our hands that we may serve.
13 Return, O Lord; how long will you tarry? *
Be gracious to your servants.
14 Satisfy us by your
loving-kindness in the morning; *
so
shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
Refrain:
Gracious God, strengthen our
hands that we may serve.
15 Make us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us
*
and the years in which we suffered
adversity.
16 Show your servants your
works *
and
your splendour to their children.
17 May the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; *
prosper
the work of our hands; prosper our handiwork.
Refrain:
Gracious God, strengthen our
hands that we may serve.
The
Second Reading
A Reading from the Acts of the Apostles (9.1-6).
Meanwhile
Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord,
went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at
Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he
might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now
as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven
flashed around him. He fell to the
ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He asked, “Who are you, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are
persecuting. But get up and enter the
city, and you will be told what you are to do.”
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the
church.
Thanks
be to God.
Hymn
before the Gospel
‘Jesus Calls Us! O’er the Tumult’ Common Praise #432 vv. 1, 2, 3
The
Gospel
The Lord be with you.
And
also with you.
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to John (21.1-19).
Glory
to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
After
these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of
Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. Gathered there together were Simon Peter,
Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and
two others of his disciples. Simon Peter
said to them, “I am going fishing.” They
said to him, “We will go with you.” They
went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
Just
after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that
it was Jesus. Jesus said to them,
“Children, you have no fish, have you?” They
answered him, “No.” He said to them,
“Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to
haul it in because there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter,
“It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard
that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into
the sea. But the other disciples came in
the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land,
only about a hundred yards off.
When
they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and
bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net
ashore, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there
were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus
said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him,
“Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to
them, and did the same with the fish. This
was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised
from the dead.
When they had finished breakfast,
Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”
He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know
that I love you.” Jesus said to him,
“Feed my lambs.” A second time he said
to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I
love you.” Jesus said to him, “Tend my
sheep.” He said to him the third time,
“Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter
felt hurt because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know
everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger,
you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out
your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where
you do not wish to go.” (He said this to
indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, “Follow me.”
The Gospel of Christ.
Praise
to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Hymn
after the Gospel
‘Jesus Calls Us! O’er the Tumult’ Common Praise #432 vv. 4, 5
The
Sermon
The
Apostles’ Creed
Do you believe in God the Father?
I
believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator
of heaven and earth.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of
God?
I
believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,
who
was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born
of the virgin Mary,
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,
he
is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and
he will come to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
I
believe in the Holy Spirit,
the
holy catholic church,
the
communion of saints,
the
forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection
of the body,
and
the life everlasting. Amen.

The
Prayer over the Gifts
Let us pray.
Creator of all,
you
wash away our sins in water,
you
give us new birth by the Spirit,
and
redeem us in the blood of Christ.
As
we celebrate the resurrection,
renew
your gift of life within us.
The
Thanksgiving at the Table
The Lord be with you.
And
also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We
lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It
is right to give our thanks and praise.
It is indeed right, our duty and our joy,
that we should at all times and in all
places
give thanks and praise to you, almighty and
merciful God,
for the glorious resurrection of our Saviour
Jesus Christ,
the true Paschal Lamb who gave himself to
take away our sin,
who in dying has destroyed death, and in
rising has brought us to eternal life.
And so, with Mary Magdalene and Peter and
all the witnesses of the resurrection,
with earth and sea and all their creatures,
and with angels and archangels, cherubim and
seraphim,
Holy,
holy, holy Lord,
God
of power and might.
Heaven
and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna
in the highest.
Blessed
is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Holy God, mighty Lord, gracious Father:
Endless is your mercy and eternal your
reign.
You have filled all creation with light and
life;
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
We praise you for the grace shown to your
people in every age:
the promise to Israel, the rescue from
Egypt,
the gift of the promised land, the words of
the prophets;
and, at this end of all the ages, the gift
of your Son,
who proclaimed the good news in word and
deed
and was obedient to your will, even to
giving his life.
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.
Do this for the remembrance of me.
For as often as we eat of this bread and
drink from this cup,
we proclaim the Lord’s death until he
comes.
Christ
has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Therefore, O God, with this bread and cup
we remember the life our Lord offered for
us.
And, believing the witness of his
resurrection,
we await his coming in power
to share with us the great and promised
feast.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Send now, we pray, your Holy Spirit,
so that we who share in Christ’s body and
blood
may live to the praise of your glory
and receive our inheritance with all your
saints in light.
Amen. Come, Holy Spirit.
Join our prayers with those of your servants
of every time and every place,
and unite them with the ceaseless petitions
of our great high priest
until he comes as victorious Lord of
all.
Through him, with him, in him,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all glory and honour is yours, Creator of
all,
As our Saviour taught us, let us pray,
Our
Father in heaven,
hallowed
be your name,
your
kingdom come,
your
will be done,
on
earth as in heaven.
Give
us today our daily bread.
Forgive
us our sins
as
we forgive those who sin against us.
Save
us from the time of trial,
and
deliver us from evil.
For
the kingdom, the power,
and
the glory are yours,
The
Breaking of the Bread
Lord, we died with you on the cross.
Now
we are raised to new life.
We were buried in your tomb.
Now
we share in your resurrection.
Live
in us, that we may live in you.
The gifts of God for the people of God.
Thanks
be to God.
