    The Holy Name

    January 1

    Eternal Father, you gave to your incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

    Benedic, anima meaBCP p. 733

    1Bless the Lord, O my soul, *and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.

    2Bless the Lord, O my soul, *and forget not all his benefits.

    3He forgives all your sins *and heals all your infirmities;

    4He redeems your life from the grave *and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;

    5He satisfies you with good things, *and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s.

    6The Lord executes righteousness *and judgment for all who are oppressed.

    7He made his ways known to Moses *and his works to the children of Israel.

    8The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, *slow to anger and of great kindness.

    9He will not always accuse us, *nor will he keep his anger for ever.

    10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.

    11For as the heavens are high above the earth, *so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.

    12As far as the east is from the west, *so far has he removed our sins from us.

    13As a father cares for his children, *so does the Lord care for those who fear him.

    14For he himself knows whereof we are made; *he remembers that we are but dust.

    15Our days are like the grass; *we flourish like a flower of the field;

    16When the wind goes over it, it is gone, *and its place shall know it no more.

    17But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever on those who fear him, *and his righteousness on children’s children;

    18On those who keep his covenant *and remember his commandments and do them.

    19The Lord has set his throne in heaven, *and his kingship has dominion over all.

    20Bless the Lord, you angels of his, you mighty ones who do his bidding, *and hearken to the voice of his word.

    21Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, *you ministers of his who do his will.

    22Bless the Lord, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion; *bless the Lord, O my soul.

    Rev. 19:11-16

    11 Then I saw heaven opened, and there was a white horse! Its rider is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, wearing fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

    Matt. 1:18-25

    18 Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. 20 But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 23 “Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means, “God is with us.” 24 When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, 25 but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus.

    Isa. 62:1-5,10-12

    1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning torch. 2 The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. 3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your builder marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. 10 Go through, go through the gates, prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway, clear it of stones, lift up an ensign over the peoples. 11 The Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth: Say to daughter Zion, “See, your salvation comes; his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.” 12 They shall be called, “The Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord”; and you shall be called, “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.”
