Welcome to the season of LENT What is the Great Litany? The Great Litany is an intercessory prayer including various petitions that are said or sung by the leader, with fixed responses by the congregation. It was used as early as the fifth century in Rome. It was led by a deacon, with the collects led by a bishop or priest. The Litany was the first English language rite prepared by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. It was first published in 1544. Cranmer modified an earlier litany form by consolidating certain groups of petitions into single prayers with response. The Litany's use in church processions was ordered by Henry VIII when England was at war with Scotland and France. It was printed as an appendix to the eucharist in the 1549 BCP. The Litany was used in each of the three ordination rites of the 1550 ordinal, with a special petition and concluding collect. The 1552 BCP called for use of the Litany after the fixed collects of Morning Prayer on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The 1928 BCP allowed the Litany to be used after the fixed collects of Morning or Evening Prayer, or before the Eucharist, or separately. The 1928 BCP included a short Litany for Ordinations as an alternative to the Litany. The 1979 BCP titled the Litany "The Great Litany" (p. 148), distinguishing it from other litanies in the Prayer Book. The Great Litany may be said or sung. The officiant and people may kneel or stand, or it may be done in procession. The Great Litany may be done before the Eucharist, or after the collects of Morning or Evening Prayer, or separately. Because of its penitential tone, it is especially appropriate during Lent. We begin this morning with the Great Litany connecting us to our tradition and our ancestors and also to invite us into this holy season of Lent. We will stand as Lisa chants the prayers and we respond with the refrains listed below.

The Work of the People

Psalm

Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16

From Psalms for Praying

A single voice will chant the first half of each verse, and the congregation is invited to join in chanting the second half in bold.

Those who dwell in the shelter of Infinite Light, who abide in the wings of Infin / ite Love, Will raise their voices in praise: “My refuge and my strength; In You alone / will I trust.”

For You have sent your angels to watch over me, to guide me in all / my ways.

On their hands, they will bear me up, lest I dash my foot a / gainst a stone.

Though I walk among those who roar like the lion, or are as stealthy as the adder, in your strength will I / be saved.

“Because you cleave to Me in love, I will deliver you; I will protect you, who call up / on my Name.

When you call to Me, I will answer you; I will be with you in times of trouble, I will rescue you and reverence / your life.

All through the years, will I dwell in your heart, as Loving Companion Pre / sence forever.”

The Lesson Reader:

Romans 10:8b-13 A reading from Romans.

Read by Silma Espinosa

"The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Reader: People:

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. 4

Waiting on the World to Change

John Mayer

We keep on waiting (waiting), Waiting on the world to change We keep on waiting (waiting), Waiting on the world to change It's hard to be persistent, We're standing at a distance So we keep on waiting (waiting), Waiting on the world to change

THE GOSPEL Priest: People:

Luke 4:1-13 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Luke.

Glory to you, Lord Christ.

After his baptism, Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished. The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread."

Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone.'"

Then the devil led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

And the devil said to him, "To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours." Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.'"

Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.'"

Jesus answered him, "It is said, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.

Priest: People:

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

In the name of the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, Go with courage, go with heart, go in peace. Amen.
