    Tuesday in Holy Week

    O God, by the passion of your blessed Son you made an instrument of shameful death to be for us the means of life: Grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly suffer shame and loss for the sake of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    6

    Domine, ne in furoreBCP p. 589

    1Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger; *do not punish me in your wrath.

    2Have pity on me, Lord, for I am weak; *heal me, Lord, for my bones are racked.

    3My spirit shakes with terror; *how long, O Lord, how long?

    4Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; *save me for your mercy’s sake.

    5For in death no one remembers you; *and who will give you thanks in the grave?

    6I grow weary because of my groaning; *every night I drench my bed and flood my couch with tears.

    7My eyes are wasted with grief *and worn away because of all my enemies.

    8Depart from me, all evildoers, *for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.

    9The Lord has heard my supplication; *the Lord accepts my prayer.

    10All my enemies shall be confounded and quake with fear; *they shall turn back and suddenly be put to shame.

    Salvum me facBCP p. 597

    1Help me, Lord, for there is no godly one left; *the faithful have vanished from among us.

    2Everyone speaks falsely with his neighbor; *with a smooth tongue they speak from a double heart.

    3Oh, that the Lord would cut off all smooth tongues, *and close the lips that utter proud boasts!

    4Those who say, “With our tongue will we prevail; *our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

    5“Because the needy are oppressed, and the poor cry out in misery, *I will rise up,” says the Lord, “and give them the help they long for.”

    6The words of the Lord are pure words, *like silver refined from ore and purified seven times in the fire.

    7O Lord, watch over us *and save us from this generation for ever.

    8The wicked prowl on every side, *and that which is worthless is highly prized by everyone.

    John 12:20-26

    A Reading from the Gospel According to John.

    20 Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. 21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honor.

    Philippians 3:15-21

    15 Let those of us then who are mature be of the same mind; and if you think differently about anything, this too God will reveal to you. 16 Only let us hold fast to what we have attained. 17 Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. 18 For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. 19 Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. 21 He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself.

    Jeremiah 15:10-21

    10 Woe is me, my mother, that you ever bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! I have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me. 11 The Lord said: Surely I have intervened in your life for good, surely I have imposed enemies on you in a time of trouble and in a time of distress. 12 Can iron and bronze break iron from the north? 13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without price, for all your sins, throughout all your territory. 14 I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever. 15 O Lord, you know; remember me and visit me, and bring down retribution for me on my persecutors. In your forbearance do not take me away; know that on your account I suffer insult. 16 Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart; for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts. 17 I did not sit in the company of merrymakers, nor did I rejoice; under the weight of your hand I sat alone, for you had filled me with indignation. 18 Why is my pain unceasing, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Truly, you are to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail. 19 Therefore thus says the Lord: If you turn back, I will take you back, and you shall stand before me. If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless, you shall serve as my mouth. It is they who will turn to you, not you who will turn to them. 20 And I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail over you, for I am with you to save you and deliver you, says the Lord. 21 I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.
