Michael Thorne Jarrett   Today's Readings: Psalm 63Deuteronomy 14:22-15:23Mark 7:1-30 Confession The confession is said privately. The audio file begins after confession. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. A brief silence is kept Grant your faithful people, merciful Lord, pardon and peace; that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Now as we come to the setting of the sun, and our eyes behold the vesper light, we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are worthy at all times to be praised by joyful voices, O Son of God, Giver of Life, and to be glorified through all the worlds.   Psalter The appointed Psalm is read together Psalm 63 1  O God, you are my God; * earnestly I seek you; 1  my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, * in a dry and weary land, where there is no water. 2  So I have seen you in the sanctuary, * and beheld your power and your glory. 3  Because your love is better than life, * my lips will praise you. 4  So I will bless you as long as I live, * and in your name I will lift up my hands. 5  My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest of foods, * and with joyful lips my mouth shall praise you, 6  when I remember you upon my bed, * and meditate on you through the watches of the night. 7  Because you have been my help, * I will sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. 8  My soul clings to you; * your right hand upholds me. 9  But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, * shall go down into the depths of the earth; 10  they shall be given over to the power of the sword; * they shall become food for jackals. 11  But the king shall rejoice in God; everyone who swears by him shall glory, * for the mouths of liars will be silenced. † Composite   After the Psalm, the Officiant begins Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.   The Lessons A reading of the appointed lessons Deuteronomy 14:22–15:23 22 “You shall tithe all the yield of your seed that comes from the field year by year. 23 And before the LORD your God, in the place that he will choose, to make his name dwell there, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, of your wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and flock, that you may learn to fear the LORD your God always.
