THE HOLY EUCHARIST

Sunday, February 26, 2023

Welcome to the Monastery Chapel.

We warmly invite you to participate fully in our worship.

Covid Safety Practices

Please note that we require everyone who attends Chapel services to be fully vaccinated and boosted. The Monastery is the Brothers’ home and several Brothers, as well as members of the congregation, fall into the category of persons particularly vulnerable to COVID. While masks are no longer compulsory, we fully support those who choose to wear a mask for any reason; you may see some Brothers wearing masks. At times you may find that some windows are being left open in the Chapel to enhance the ventilation. Please plan to dress accordingly.

Opening Acclamation

Presider Blessed be the God of our salvation:

People Who bears our burdens and forgives our sins.

Confession and Absolution of Sin

Presider The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; a broken and contrite heart

God will not despise. Let us come to the Lord, who is full of compassion, and acknowledge our transgressions in penitence and faith.

God of all mercy,

People 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. 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.
