THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
God be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
Holy One of Israel, covenant-keeper, you
restore what is lost, heal what is wounded,
and gather in those who have been rejected.
Give us the faith to speak as steadfastly as
did the Canaanite woman, that the outcast
may be welcomed and all people may be
blessed. Amen.
The Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, who hast given thy only
Son to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin
and also an example of godly life: Give us
grace that we may always most thankfully
receive that his inestimable benefit, and
also daily endeavor ourselves to follow
the blessed steps of his most holy life;
through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our
Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee
and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
for ever. Amen.

FIRST READING Please be seated. Genesis 45:1-15
Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who stood by him, and he
cried out, “Send everyone away from me.” So no one stayed with him when
Joseph made himself known to his brothers. And he wept so loudly that the
Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it. Joseph said to his
brothers, “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer
him, so dismayed were they at his presence.
Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come closer to me.” And they came closer. He
said, “I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be
distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me
before you to preserve life. For the famine has been in the land these two years;
and there are five more years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive
for you many survivors. So it was not you who sent me here, but God; he has
made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land
of Egypt. Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, ‘Thus says your son
Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay. You
shall settle in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children
and your children’s children, as well as your flocks, your herds, and all that you
have. I will provide for you there—since there are five more years of famine to
come—so that you and your household, and all that you have, will not come to
poverty.’ And now your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is
my own mouth that speaks to you. You must tell my father how greatly I am
honored in Egypt, and all that you have seen. Hurry and bring my father down
here.” Then he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, while Benjamin
wept upon his neck. And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them; and after
that his brothers talked with him.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

(8:00) Psalm 133 Ecce, quam bonum! Read in unison.
1 Oh, how good and pleasant it is, *
when brethren live together in unity!
2 It is like fine oil upon the head *
that runs down upon the beard,
3 Upon the beard of Aaron, *
and runs down upon the collar of his robe.
4 It is like the dew of Hermon *
that falls upon the hills of Zion.
5 For there the LORD has ordained the blessing: *
life for evermore.

(10:00) Psalm 133 Please remain seated to sing.

SECOND READING Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32
I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a
descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected
his people whom he foreknew.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. Just as you were once
disobedient to God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience, so
they have now been disobedient in order that, by the mercy shown to you, they
too may now receive mercy. For God has imprisoned all in disobedience so that he
may be merciful to all.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God

THE HOLY GOSPEL Matthew 15:10-28
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Matthew. †
B Glory to you, Lord Christ.
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Matthew. †
B Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Jesus called the crowd to him and said to them, “Listen and understand: it is not
what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the
mouth that defiles.” Then the disciples approached and said to him, “Do you know
that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?” He answered,
“Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them
alone; they are blind guides of the blind. And if one blind person guides another,
both will fall into a pit.” But Peter said to him, “Explain this parable to us.” Then
he said, “Are you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever
goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the sewer? But what
comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out
of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false
witness, slander. These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands
does not defile.”
Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon. Just then a
Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, “Have mercy
on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon.” But he did not
answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, “Send her away,
for she keeps shouting after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
He answered, “It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”
She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’
table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for
you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed instantly.
The Gospel of the Lord.
B Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Gospel of the Lord.
B Praise be to thee, O Christ.
The sung Gospel Acclamation is repeated.

Please stand or kneel.
Glory and honor are yours, Creator of all, your Word has never been silent; you called a
people to yourself, as a light to the nations, you delivered them from bondage and led
them to a land of promise. Of your grace, you gave Jesus to be human, to share our life,
to proclaim the coming of your holy reign and give himself for us, a fragrant offering.
Through Jesus Christ our Redeemer, you have freed us from sin, brought us into your
life, reconciled us to you, and restored us to the glory you intend for us.
We thank you that on the night before he died for us Jesus took bread, and when he had
given thanks to you, he broke it, gave it to his friends and said: “Take, eat, this is my
Body, broken for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
17
After supper Jesus took the cup of wine, said the blessing, gave it to his friends and said:
“Drink this, all of you: this cup is the new Covenant in my Blood, poured out for you
and for all for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
And so, remembering all that was done for us: the cross, the tomb, the resurrection and
ascension, longing for Christ’s coming in glory, and presenting to you these gifts your
earth has formed and human hands have made, we acclaim you, O Christ:

us with Mary the Godbearer, Saint John our Patron, Martin de Porres, Rosa de Lima,
