The following Confession of Sin may then be said; or the Office may continue at once with “O God make speed to save us.”
Confession of Sin
The Officiant says to the people
Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of Almighty God our heavenly Father, to set forth his praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation. And so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy.
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
Silence may be kept.
Officiant and People together, all kneeling
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.
The Priest alone 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.
A deacon or lay person using the preceding form remains kneeling, and substitutes “us” for “you” and “our” for “your.”
The Invitatory and Psalter
All stand
OfficiantO God, make speed to save us.
PeopleO Lord, make haste to help us.
Officiant and People
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Alleluia.
The following, or some other suitable hymn, or an Invitatory Psalm, may be sung or said
O Gracious Light
Phos hilaron
O gracious Light, pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven, O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
Now as we come to the setting of the sun, and our eyes behold the vesper light, we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices, O Son of God, O Giver of life, and to be glorified through all the worlds.
Then follows
The Psalm or Psalms Appointed
106
Part II
Et fecerunt vitulumBCP p. 74319Israel made a bull-calf at Horeb *and worshiped a molten image;
20And so they exchanged their Glory *for the image of an ox that feeds on grass.
21They forgot God their Savior, *who had done great things in Egypt,
22Wonderful deeds in the land of Ham, *and fearful things at the Red Sea.
23So he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, *to turn away his wrath from consuming them.
24They refused the pleasant land *and would not believe his promise.
25They grumbled in their tents *and would not listen to the voice of the Lord.
26So he lifted his hand against them, *to overthrow them in the wilderness,
27To cast out their seed among the nations, *and to scatter them throughout the lands.
28They joined themselves to Baal-Peor *and ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
29They provoked him to anger with their actions, *and a plague broke out among them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and interceded, *and the plague came to an end.
31This was reckoned to him as righteousness *throughout all generations for ever.
32Again they provoked his anger at the waters of Meribah, *so that he punished Moses because of them;
33For they so embittered his spirit *that he spoke rash words with his lips.
34They did not destroy the peoples *as the Lord had commanded them.
35They intermingled with the heathen *and learned their pagan ways,
36So that they worshiped their idols, *which became a snare to them.
37They sacrificed their sons *and their daughters to evil spirits.
38They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, *which they offered to the idols of Canaan, and the land was defiled with blood.
39Thus they were polluted by their actions *and went whoring in their evil deeds.
40Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against his people *and he abhorred his inheritance.
41He gave them over to the hand of the heathen, *and those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them, *and they were humbled under their hand.
43Many a time did he deliver them, but they rebelled through their own devices, *and were brought down in their iniquity.
44Nevertheless, he saw their distress, *when he heard their lamentation.
45He remembered his covenant with them *and relented in accordance with his great mercy.
46He caused them to be pitied *by those who held them captive.
47Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, *that we may give thanks to your holy Name and glory in your praise.
48Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting; *and let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!
At the end of the Psalms is sung or said
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

A Song of Penitence
Kyrie PantokratorPrayer of Manasseh 1-2, 4, 6-7, 11-15
O Lord and Ruler of the hosts of heaven, *God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of all their righteous offspring:
You made the heavens and the earth, *with all their vast array.
All things quake with fear at your presence; *they tremble because of your power.
But your merciful promise is beyond all measure; *it surpasses all that our minds can fathom.
O Lord, you are full of compassion, *long-suffering, and abounding in mercy.
You hold back your hand; *you do not punish as we deserve.
In your great goodness, Lord, you have promised forgiveness to sinners, *that they may repent of their sin and be saved.
And now, O Lord, I bend the knee of my heart, *and make my appeal, sure of your gracious goodness.
I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, *and I know my wickedness only too well.
Therefore I make this prayer to you: *Forgive me, Lord, forgive me.
Do not let me perish in my sin, *nor condemn me to the depths of the earth.
For you, O Lord, are the God of those who repent, *and in me you will show forth your goodness.
Unworthy as I am, you will save me, in accordance with your great mercy, *and I will praise you without ceasing all the days of my life.
For all the powers of heaven sing your praises, *and yours is the glory to ages of ages. Amen.
The Apostles’ Creed
Officiant and People together, all standing
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Proper 22
The Sunday closest to October 5
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. Amen.
A Collect for Peace
Most holy God, the source of all good desires, all right judgments, and all just works: Give to us, your servants, that peace which the world cannot give, so that our minds may be fixed on the doing of your will, and that we, being delivered from the fear of all enemies, may live in peace and quietness; through the mercies of Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen.
A Collect for Aid against Perils
Be our light in the darkness, O Lord, and in your great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of your only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
A Collect for Protection
O God, the life of all who live, the light of the faithful, the strength of those who labor, and the repose of the dead: We thank you for the blessings of the day that is past, and humbly ask for your protection through the coming night. Bring us in safety to the morning hours; through him who died and rose again for us, your Son our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
A Collect for the Presence of Christ
Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and the day is past; be our companion in the way, kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may know you as you are revealed in Scripture and the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your love. Amen.
Then, unless the Eucharist or a form of general intercession is to follow, one of these prayers for mission is added
O God and Father of all, whom the whole heavens adore: Let the whole earth also worship you, all nations obey you, all tongues confess and bless you, and men and women everywhere love you and serve you in peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.
O God, you manifest in your servants the signs of your presence: Send forth upon us the spirit of love, that in companionship with one another your abounding grace may increase among us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Here may be sung a hymn or anthem.
Authorized intercessions and thanksgivings may follow.
Before the close of the Office one or both of the following may be used
The General Thanksgiving
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.
And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.
A Prayer of St. Chrysostom
Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.
Then may be said
Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
