    Monday in Holy Week

    Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    51

    Miserere mei, DeusBCP p. 656

    1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-kindness; *in your great compassion blot out my offenses.

    2Wash me through and through from my wickedness *and cleanse me from my sin.

    3For I know my transgressions, *and my sin is ever before me.

    4Against you only have I sinned *and done what is evil in your sight.

    5And so you are justified when you speak *and upright in your judgment.

    6Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth, *a sinner from my mother’s womb.

    7For behold, you look for truth deep within me, *and will make me understand wisdom secretly.

    8Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure; *wash me, and I shall be clean indeed.

    9Make me hear of joy and gladness, *that the body you have broken may rejoice.

    10Hide your face from my sins *and blot out all my iniquities.

    11Create in me a clean heart, O God, *and renew a right spirit within me.

    12Cast me not away from your presence *and take not your holy Spirit from me.

    13Give me the joy of your saving help again *and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.

    14I shall teach your ways to the wicked, *and sinners shall return to you.

    15Deliver me from death, O God, *and my tongue shall sing of your righteousness, O God of my salvation.

    16Open my lips, O Lord, *and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

    17Had you desired it, I would have offered sacrifice, *but you take no delight in burnt-offerings.

    18The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; *a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

    19Be favorable and gracious to Zion, *and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

    20Then you will be pleased with the appointed sacrifices, with burnt-offerings and oblations; *then shall they offer young bullocks upon your altar.

    2 Cor. 1:1-7

    1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God that is in Corinth, including all the saints throughout Achaia: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, 4 who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ. 6 If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation; if we are being consoled, it is for your consolation, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are also suffering. 7 Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our consolation.

    Lam. 1:1-2,6-12

    1 How lonely sits the city that once was full of people! How like a widow she has become, she that was great among the nations! She that was a princess among the provinces has become a vassal. 2 She weeps bitterly in the night, with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they have become her enemies. 6 From daughter Zion has departed all her majesty. Her princes have become like stags that find no pasture; they fled without strength before the pursuer. 7 Jerusalem remembers, in the days of her affliction and wandering, all the precious things that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into the hand of the foe, and there was no one to help her, the foe looked on mocking over her downfall. 8 Jerusalem sinned grievously, so she has become a mockery; all who honored her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans, and turns her face away. 9 Her uncleanness was in her skirts; she took no thought of her future; her downfall was appalling, with none to comfort her. “O Lord, look at my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!” 10 Enemies have stretched out their hands over all her precious things; she has even seen the nations invade her sanctuary, those whom you forbade to enter your congregation. 11 All her people groan as they search for bread; they trade their treasures for food to revive their strength. Look, O Lord, and see how worthless I have become. 12 Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which was brought upon me, which the Lord inflicted on the day of his fierce anger.

    Mark 11:12-25

    12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see whether perhaps he would find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 He said to it, ‘May no one ever eat fruit from you again.’ And his disciples heard it. 15 Then they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold doves; 16 and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 He was teaching and saying, ‘Is it not written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations”?    But you have made it a den of robbers.’ 18 And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it, they kept looking for a way to kill him; for they were afraid of him, because the whole crowd was spellbound by his teaching. 19 And when evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city. 20 In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 Then Peter remembered and said to him, ‘Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.’ 22 Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God. 23 Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea”, and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you. 24 So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 ‘Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.’
