    Almighty God, whose blessed Son restored Mary Magdalene to health of body and of mind, and called her to be a witness of his resurrection: Mercifully grant that by your grace we may be healed from all our infirmities and know you in the power of his unending life; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

    Dilexi, quoniamBCP p. 759

    1I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, *because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.

    2The cords of death entangled me; the grip of the grave took hold of me; *I came to grief and sorrow.

    3Then I called upon the Name of the Lord: *“O Lord, I pray you, save my life.”

    4Gracious is the Lord and righteous; *our God is full of compassion.

    5The Lord watches over the innocent; *I was brought very low, and he helped me.

    6Turn again to your rest, O my soul. *for the Lord has treated you well.

    7For you have rescued my life from death, *my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

    8I will walk in the presence of the Lord *in the land of the living.

    9I believed, even when I said, “I have been brought very low.” *In my distress I said, “No one can be trusted.”

    10How shall I repay the Lord *for all the good things he has done for me?

    11I will lift up the cup of salvation *and call upon the Name of the Lord.

    12I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *in the presence of all his people.

    13Precious in the sight of the Lord *is the death of his servants.

    14O Lord, I am your servant; *I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.

    15I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *and call upon the Name of the Lord.

    16I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *in the presence of all his people,

    17In the courts of the Lord’s house, *in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

    Zeph. 3:14-20

    14 Sing aloud, O daughter Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem! 15 The Lord has taken away the judgments against you, he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more. 16 On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands grow weak. 17 The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing 18 as on a day of festival. I will remove disaster from you, so that you will not bear reproach for it. 19 I will deal with all your oppressors at that time. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. 20 At that time I will bring you home, at the time when I gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says the Lord.

    Mark 15:47-16:7

    47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body was laid. 1 When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. 2 And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. 3 They had been saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” 4 When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. 6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.”
