Prayers for the Week O God, the source of our passion, who took upon you our unprotected flesh, kindle in us your anger and desire; that in suffering we may not be consumed, but hold fast to you through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Christ, whose feet were caressed with perfume and a woman’s hair; you humbly took basin and towel and washed the feet of your friends. Wash us also in your tenderness as we touch one another; that embracing your service freely, we may accept no other bondage in your name. Amen.

Sunday of the Passion (Palm Sunday) 14 April 2019 Sentence At the name of Jesus, every knee shall bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2.10-11

Collect God of all, you gave your only-begotten Son to take the form of a servant, and to be obedient even to death on a cross: give us the same mind that was in Christ Jesus that, sharing in his humility, we may come to be with him in his glory, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. A Reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah This passage was written during or after the exile in Babylon. It stresses the obedience of the Lord’s Servant and the early church took it as foreshadowing the suffering of the Messiah. The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens— wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backwards. I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord God helps me;

4

therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty? All of them will wear out like a garment; the moth will eat them up. Isaiah 50.4-9a

Reader For the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God Psalm 31.9-18 APBA page 250 A prayer for trust in God in times of opposition, suffering and rejection.

A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Philippians In this key passage in the Christian scriptures, most likely an early hymn of the Church, Paul sets before us the self-emptying or “kenosis” of Jesus Christ, even to death, for which God awarded him the name “Lord” which is above all other names. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus 5

every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2.5-11 Reader May your word live in us. All And bear much fruit to your glory. The gospel is read without introduction today. The passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.

Luke 22.14-23.56

This year the passion reading is from Luke. Each of the four gospels gives us an account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus from a particular

perspective. Since Luke wants us to see that Jesus fulfils the longing of generations, he includes infancy stories. In his passion story, Luke takes us from table fellowship, to the garden, to the trial sequence and finally to the

cross where a stranger being crucified with Jesus is more loyal than the band of disciples who increasingly break down and fall away. In this

Lukan narrative Jesus is always in control. His faith in the Father, who will keep his promise and will not forget him, is unshakeable. Luke-Acts was

most likely written late in the first century in the region of Antioch.

Pray for the Faithful Departed. We remember before God: Guy Sexton; Franz Schnelle; Margaret Old-field; Owen Fyfe; Charles Pittman; Valda Woinarski; Beverly Jocelyn Summons; Geoffrey Aitken Hall and Keith Warne Lester

PLEASE SIT during this long reading should you need to. It is ADVISABLE to SIT if you are elderly or have

been unwell recently. It is more important that you are able to listen to the

gospel reading without distraction than that you should stand.
