COLLECT OF THE DAY
Celebrant God be with you.
People And also with you.
Celebrant Let us pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear
than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve:
Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things
of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for
which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and
mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
COLLECT FOR EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS CELEBRATION
God of knowledge and wisdom, we pray to you for all the schools
across this country, which are part of the Episcopal Church. We
remember them in their variety, in their differences, and in what they
share. Give us open doors, open minds, and open hearts that we
might accept, learn, and love everything and everyone whom you
4
have given us. Help us to share our lives and what we have, and to
learn from all those who are in school with us. We pray in the name
of Jesus who opened his arms to all, young and old.
All Amen.
All sit.
THE FIRST READING Ezekiel 36: 24-28
I will take you from the nations, and gather you from all the
countries, and bring you into your own land. I will sprinkle clean
water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses,
and from all your idols I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give
you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from
your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will put
my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be
careful to observe my ordinances. Then you shall live in the land
that I gave to your ancestors; and you shall be my people, and I will
be your God.
Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.
PSALM 51: 10-16 Miserere mei, Deus
Anglican chant and Response by Christopher Kula
10 Hide your face from my sins *
and blot out all my iniquities.
11 Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
and renew a right spirit within me.
12 Cast me not away from your presence *
and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Response
13 Give me the joy of your saving help again *
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
5
14 I shall teach your ways to the wicked, *
and sinners shall return to you.
15 Deliver me from death, O God, *
and my tongue shall sing of your righteousness,
O God of my salvation.
16 Open my lips, O Lord, *
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Response
THE SECOND READING Philippians 2: 12-16
Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not
only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out
your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at
work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good
pleasure. Do all things without murmuring and arguing, so that
you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without
blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in
which you shine like stars in the world. It is by your holding fast
to the word of life that I can boast on the day of Christ that I did
not run in vain or labor in vain.
Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people.
People Thanks be to God.
All stand.

THE GOSPEL Luke 17: 20-24
Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God
was coming, and he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming
with things that can be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’
or ‘There it is!’ For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among
you.” Then he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you
will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not
see it. They will say to you, ‘Look there!’ or ‘Look here!’ Do not go,
do not set off in pursuit. For as the lightning flashes and lights up the
sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
Deacon The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
SERMON The Venerable Carolyn Bolton
A period of silence is kept following the sermon.
THE NICENE CREED
All stand.
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: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became
incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. 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.
8
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who
proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son
he is worshiped and glorified. He 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 Praying the Scriptures
Beloved in Christ, grace, mercy and peace from God our Parent and
Christ Jesus our Lord. Let us pray together, saying, “Lord, you are
our portion, therefore will we hope in you.”
Give to your Church, O Lord, the strength to hold to sound teaching,
the grace to treasure the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus, and
the help of the Holy Spirit to please you in all things.
Silence
Lord, you are our portion,
Therefore will we hope in you.
Liberate the nations and kingdoms of this world from the ways of
violence and war. Have mercy on the victims of war—especially
those who are considered collateral damage—and on those who
perpetrate violence that they might be converted to the ways of love.
Silence
Lord, you are our portion,
Therefore will we hope in you.
Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, O God. Bless the earth
and its creatures. Many we be good and worthy stewards.
The congregation may add their thanksgivings, followed by silence
Lord, you are our portion,
Therefore will we hope in you.
Great Governor, your mercies are new every morning: We pray
today for all those who are negatively affected by our political
processes and partisan divisions. We pray that you would inspire our
leaders to act selflessly and with generosity.
9
Silence
Lord, you are our portion,
Therefore will we hope in you.
Everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray,
and to give more that we either desire or deserve: though your Son
Jesus, comfort, heal and deliver your people, especially those we
name now.
Invite the congregation to add their petitions, followed by silence
Lord, you are our portion,
Therefore will we hope in you.
Loving God, in your Christ you abolished death and brought life and
immortality to light through the gospel: bless the dying and dead,
and give to us all eternal life.
Silence
Lord, you are our portion,
Therefore will we hope in you.
The Celebrant adds a concluding collect.
CONFESSION OF SIN
The Deacon says
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
All kneel as are able.
Silence
Minister and People
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.
10
The Priest stands and says
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins
through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness,
and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.
Amen.
THE PEACE
All stand.
Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People And also with you.
Then the Ministers and the People may greet one another in the
name of the Lord.

Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds
It is truly right, and good and joyful to give you thanks, all-holy
God, source of life and fountain of mercy. You have filled us and all
creation with your blessing and fed us with your constant love; you
have redeemed us in Jesus Christ and knit us into one body. Through
your Spirit you replenish us and call us to fullness of life. Therefore,
joining with Angels and Archangels and with the faithful of every
generation, we lift our voices with all creation as we sing.
Celebrant and People
THE SANCTUS Hymnal S-129
The people stand or kneel and the Celebrant continues
Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of the universe and giver of
life. You formed us in your own image and called us to dwell in your
infinite love. You gave the world into our care that we might be your
faithful stewards and show forth your bountiful grace. But we failed
to honor your image in one another and in ourselves; we would not
see your goodness in the world around us; and so we violated your
creation, abused one another, and rejected your love. Yet you never
ceased to care for us, and prepared the way of salvation for all
people. Through Abraham and Sarah you called us into covenant
with you. You delivered us from slavery, sustained us in the
13
wilderness, and raised up prophets to renew your promise of
salvation. Then, in the fullness of time, you sent your eternal Word,
made mortal flesh in Jesus.
Born into the human family, and dwelling among us, he revealed
your glory. Giving himself freely to death on the cross, he triumphed
over evil, opening the way of freedom and life.
On the night before he died for us, our Savior Jesus Christ took
bread, and when he had given thanks to you he broke it, and gave it
to his friends, and said: "Take, eat: This is my Body which is given
for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
As supper was ending, Jesus took the cup of wine, and when he had
given thanks, he gave it to them, and said: “Drink this, all of you:
This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is poured out for you
and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this
for the remembrance of me.”
MEMORIAL ACCLAMATION Hymnal S-133
The Celebrant continues
Remembering his death and resurrection, we now present to you from
your creation this bread and this wine. By your Holy Spirit may they
be for us the Body and Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. Grant that
we who share these gifts may be filled with the Holy Spirit and live
as Christ’s Body in the world. Bring us into the everlasting heritage
of your daughters and sons, that with blessed Paul and all your saints,
past, present, and yet to come, we may praise your Name for ever.
Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise, for ever and ever.
All Amen.
14
The Celebrant then continues,
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say:
THE LORD’S PRAYER Hymnal S-119
The Celebrant breaks the bread.
A period of silence is kept.
Then is sung
15
THE FRACTION ANTHEM Hymnal S-163
The Celebrant invites all to God’s table saying
The Gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in
remembrance that Christ died for you, and feed on him in your
hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.
All are welcome at the Lord’s table to receive Holy Communion
or a blessing. To receive Communion in your pew, please ask
an usher to notify the ministers on your behalf. If you require a
gluten-free wafer, please ask at the altar rail.
COMMUNION ANTHEM Thomas Tallis (1905-1987)
If ye love me,
keep my commandments,
and I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another comforter,
that he may 'bide with you forever,
e'en the spirit of truth.
16
THE POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
After all have received Communion, people stand or kneel as the
Celebrant says
Let us pray.
Celebrant and People
Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us
with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood
of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in
these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body
of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now,
Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to
love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.
To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory,
now and for ever. Amen.
POST-COMMUNION HYMN LEVAS 597

Proper 22: Sunday closest to October 5—Year C
Welcome to our parish. Today’s liturgy focuses on faith. In the
gospel reading, the disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith. His
response is to teach that faith is expressed by being God’s obe-
dient servants, and not doing so in expectation of a reward.
The prophet Habakkuk, writing at a time when powerful ene-
mies threatened the very existence of Israel, also speaks of faith.
After describing the terrible power of their foes, he brings a
message from God that the day is coming when God will inter-
vene on the people’s behalf. The prophet says that, while the
proud will be destroyed, the righteous will live by their faith.
The second reading is from the second letter to Timothy. The
writer, after reminding Timothy of his heritage of a faithful fam-
ily, speaks of his own vocation. Paul as a herald, apostle, and
teacher has persevered, certain that God will be faithful to the
promise to all people.
We gather as people on pilgrimage toward God. Like our fore-
bears, the outcome of our journey cannot be seen now, but we
trust that it will bring us to our true home with God. Faith is not
merely a vague yearning for God, nor is it summed up in believ-
ing the correct doctrines about God. It is remaining true to
God’s call as we persevere in the journey as obedient servants.

For Episcopal Schools Celebration 2019-2020
My dear brothers and sisters,
God’s peace and blessings to you as you join with NAES and the
thousands of students, faculty, and administrators around the
country to celebrate this year’s Episcopal Schools Celebration. As
a former school chaplain, I remember well the energy and excite-
ment building around campus at this time of year. Just as the new
year grants us a fresh start and a renewed energy, Episcopal
Schools Celebration provides us with an opportunity to pause and
reflect on our priorities.
My invitation to you this year is to truly take this theme to heart,
and to earnestly consider the implications of its message, “For
God is at work in you.” The significance of this brief phrase from
Philippians could easily be missed when analyzing the broader
passage. However, I believe these seven simple words contain a
great truth that, when taken seriously, can have a big impact on
school life.
The first thing I invite you to consider is the use of the preposi-
tion “in.” Though the following may still be true, in this case it is
not that God is at work for us, with us, or even through us. That is
to say—each and every one of us is a vessel for God’s holy pres-
ence. What if, in our daily lives, we were able to view our fellow
human beings in that light? What if we learned to view our per-
sonal, professional, or political opponents in that same way? That,
my friends, is the crux of Jesus’s message—the way of love.
When we follow the way of love, we realize that God our creator
moves in and through us. And if we have the same creator, and
the same essence working in each of us, that makes us brothers
and sisters as children of God. My brothers and sisters, this is
19
how we can come together to create a new Earth, a new world, a
new human family in God’s image.
However, one group of people is easy to overlook when we are
learning the way of love—ourselves. This is a message that es-
pecially needs to be heard by our students. Our job as educators
of course means preparing our students for academic success,
and I don’t believe that God doesn’t want us to be successful.
However, we can’t overlook the fact that as the pressure to suc-
ceed is greater than ever, mental health disorders and suicide
rates are on the rise. According to a recent Pew Research Center
study, 70% of teens identified anxiety and depression as a major
problem they witness in their peers—ahead of bullying, drug
addiction, and alcohol abuse. As our students strive for accom-
plishment, they will inevitably at times struggle. It is our job to
make sure that, in that struggle, they never lose sight of the fact
that they are a precious child of God.
So I encourage you this year—as you inspire and equip your stu-
dents with the tools and academic rigor needed to truly change
the world—to also help them see the world in the light of this
year’s Episcopal Schools Celebration theme. Because God is at
work in us, it is so important we love ourselves as well as each
other— God certainly does!
May God bless you and keep you. I remain
The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry
