The Word of God

Opening Hymn 493 Azmon

Opening Acclamations Book of Common Prayer, p.109 Presider Light and peace in Jesus Christ our Lord. People Thanks be to God.

Jesus said, "You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one lights a lamp to put it under a bucket, but on a lamp-stand where it gives light for everyone in the house. And you, like the lamp, must shed light among your fellow men, so that they may see the deed you do, and give glory to your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16

Let us pray. Grant us, Lord, the lamp of charity which never fails, that it may burn in us and shed its light on those around us, and that by its brightness we may have a vision of that holy City, where dwells the true and never-failing Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Salutation Presider God be with you. People And also with you. Presider Let us pray.

Collect of the Day Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Sermon The Rector

The Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayers of the People The People may add their own petitions either silently or aloud. The Presider adds a concluding Collect.

Confession of Sin Presider Let us confess our sins to God. Presider and People

God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created.

We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen.

Absolution Presider Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through the grace of Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

The Peace Presider The peace of Christ be always with you. People And also with you.

The Holy Communion All who hunger are welcomed at Christ’s Holy Table.

Sanctus Hurd

Presider Glory and honor are yours, Creator of all…

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: Presider and People

Presider Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts … Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, we worship you our God and Creator in voices of unending praise.

Candlemas celebrated on February 2nd. Have you ever wondered if there was a connection between Candlemas and Groundhog Day? Fr. John Dietzen answers that question on CatholicCourier.com: Yes, there is an interesting connection between these celebrations. According to the law of Moses in the Old Testament, a mother was ritually unclean for a period of time after giving birth, 40 days after the birth of a boy, 80 days after the birth of a girl.

At the end of that time the mother came to the priest to be "purified" (see Leviticus 12).

Any firstborn male, human or animal, was considered to belong to the Lord. Animals were sacrificed. Human firstborn sons were presented in the Temple if possible, and certain payments were made that changed over time (see Exodus 34:19-20).

Both of these events, the purification of Mary and the presentation of Jesus, are commemorated on the same day. When they began to be celebrated in Rome, perhaps in the fourth or fifth centuries, the date was set on Feb. 2, 40 days after Dec. 25, the day the Roman church celebrated the birth of our Lord.

Eventually candles became major elements in celebrating this feast, thus the tradition of blessing candles on that day.

For some unknown reason, a folk legend arose in the Middle Ages that a sunny Candlemas Day meant a cold spring. As a Scottish saying put it, "If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, there will be two winters in the year."

In the 19th century, some settlers in the New World gave this tradition a typical American twist. If the woodchuck or groundhog peeps out of his hole on Feb. 2 and the sun is shining so he sees his shadow, he goes back to sleep through the cold days ahead.

A fascinating set of circumstances connects this feast also with a longstanding ancient Roman fertility rite, the Lupercalia, on Feb. 15. But that's a whole other story.

A longtime columnist with Catholic News Service, Father Dietzen died March 27, 2011.
