THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT
MARCH 6, 2022 Welcome! Dear Friends, We are now traveling through the holy season of Lent. The theme for this season is “Called to More.” Throughout this season, preaching, teaching, and daily meditations will focus on the call Christ makes to each one of us. We will discover the ways our faith journey helps us find guidance and hope in the example of Christ as we are led toward the ultimate hope of the resurrection. As followers of Christ, we are called to pray for peace in our world and to help those who are in greatest need. As the conflict in Ukraine continues to develop, I ask for your prayers and your action. Saint Michael has made an initial donation of $10,000 to Care International and Save the Children through our Relief Fund and will continue to support local missionaries and relief work. If you’re able, please make a donation today, knowing that 100% of donations made to our Relief Fund are given away. I hope you will take advantage of the daily Lenten meditations the Saint Michael clergy have prepared for you. The call to discipleship is often tested, and we face struggles and temptations that can lead us astray. Start each day off with centering prayer to keep you on the right path. These meditations can be streamed on our website or wherever you listen to podcasts. Our 75th Anniversary celebration continues in Lent as we welcome back former Saint Michael clergy in a special Lenten Speaker Series on Wednesday nights at 6 p.m. in the Saint Michael Chapel. This coming Wednesday, March 9, the

Christa Rakich
Erhalt uns, Herr
Christa Rakich composed this set of variations on the hymntune Heinlein in Lent 2021. This tune is most often sung with the text “Forty Days and Forty Nights” (hymn 150 in our hymnal), a meditation on Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. Rakich is presently Visiting Professor of Organ at Oberlin College, and performs internationally, specializing in the music of J.S. Bach, whose style she imitates in this piece.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:8, 9
Kneeling
Confession of Sin and Absolution Celebrant Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. All
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.
Celebrant
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 Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Seated
The Lesson
Deuteronomy 26:1-11
When you have come into the land that the LORD your God is giving you
3
as an inheritance to possess, and you possess it, and settle in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from the land that the LORD your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, “Today I declare to the LORD your God that I have come into the land that the LORD swore to our ancestors to give us.” When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the LORD your God, you shall make this response before the Lord your God: “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labor on us, we cried to the LORD, the God of our ancestors; the LORD heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. So now I bring the first of the fruit of
the ground that you, O LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God and bow down before the LORD your God. Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the LORD your God has given to you and to your house. Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16 (Plainsong, mode IV)
arr. Jonathan Ryan
Chanted by the Choir
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, * abides under the shadow of the Almighty. He shall say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my stronghold, * my God in whom I put my trust.” Because you have made the LORD your refuge, * and the Most High your habitation, There shall no evil happen to you, * neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over you, * to keep you in all your ways. They shall bear you in their hands, * lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and adder; * you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet. Because he is bound to me in love, therefore will I deliver him; * I will protect him, because he knows my Name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; * I am with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him to honor. With long life will I satisfy him, * and show him my salvation. Gospel Acclamation

The Gospel Gospeler 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.

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Sermon 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,
The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata
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. 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 Form V Lector

Edward Elgar
Ave verum corpus natum ex Maria Virgine, vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine.
Hail the true body, born of the Virgin Mary: who truly suffered, sacrificed on the cross for the sake of man.
Cujus latus perforatum unde fluxit sangine. Esto nobis praegustatum mortis in examine.
From whose pierced side flowed water and blood: Be a foretaste for us in the trial of death.
O clemens, O pie, O dulcis Jesu, fili Mariae.
O sweet, O merciful, O Jesus, Son of Mary.
- attr. Pope Innocent VI
Edward Elgar was primarily a self-taught composer. In the nineteenth century, during which Elgar lived the majority of his life, music composition was moving toward the academic model, where most composers were professors in major universities. For this reason, Elgar considered himself a musical “outsider” for most of his life. It was not until late in life that he rose to fame. Because Elgar was self-taught, his approach to composition and orchestration were idiosyncratic. This is partially what makes his music so memorable and distinct from his contemporaries. His setting of “Ave verum corpus” is beloved for its beautiful melody, which has a longing, evocative nature.

The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise.
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Sanctus and Benedictus: Hymn S 130
Franz Schubert
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.

At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it; and at the words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be consecrated.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” After supper he 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 shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.” Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

The Celebrant continues
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Traveling to the Holy Land, experiencing the places that are the setting for the stories of Scripture, stepping foot on the same land where Jesus walked—this has long been on the ‘bucket list’ of many a Christian. You more than likely know someone who has shared, “My trip to the Holy Land was life-changing!” At Saint Michael, we believe that pilgrimage—setting out together on a spiritual adventure—can be a means of drawing closer to God and deepening our Christian walk. In March of 2023 the Rev. Mary Lessmann will be leading a group from Saint Michael in pilgrimage to the Holy Land. This experience has been custom curated just for our group. We will follow the life of Jesus chronologically, beginning in Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. We will visit Nazareth, where Jesus grew up, and Galilee, where Jesus began his ministry. We will cross into Jordon to tour Petra and the Dead Sea before returning to Israel and concluding our pilgrimage in Jerusalem. Along the way we’ll experience the Mount of the Beatitudes, the Sea of Galilee, the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher—just to name a few of the many sites we’ll explore. And interspersed over our time we’ll have several talks led by experts in the region.
