00:00:15,359 --> 00:00:16,960

12
00:00:25,899 --> 00:00:26,719
Fr. Craig:
the Hebrews.

13
00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:30,559
Fr. Craig:
So if you're interested in a
short time to try out Bible

14
00:00:30,559 --> 00:00:32,240
Fr. Craig:
study, now is the time.

15
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,039
Fr. Craig:
Let me know.

16
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:35,799
Fr. Craig:
I'll put you on the email list.

17
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:37,280
Fr. Craig:
Second announcement.

18
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,140
Fr. Craig:
Uh, if you read the inet this
week, April showers bring May

19
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:46,719
Fr. Craig:
flowers and at the community
market, personal hygiene pieces.

20
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,320
Fr. Craig:
So the community market this
month is asking people to focus

21
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,859
Fr. Craig:
on personal hygiene items soap,
shampoo, toothpaste, floss,

22
00:00:55,859 --> 00:00:57,719
Fr. Craig:
toothbrushes, things like that.

23
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:00,990
Fr. Craig:
Things that are getting more and
more expensive and with limited

24
00:01:00,990 --> 00:01:02,270
Fr. Craig:
incomes hard to get.

25
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:03,149
Fr. Craig:
Those are the one.

26
00:01:03,149 --> 00:01:04,510
Fr. Craig:
Those are the items that we

27
00:01:04,510 --> 00:01:08,469
Fr. Craig:
rarely get from any of our

28
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:09,510
Fr. Craig:
sources.

29
00:01:09,510 --> 00:01:10,950
Fr. Craig:
So if you have time to pick up

30
00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:13,430

00:01:15,230 --> 00:01:17,109
Fr. Craig:

33
00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:19,590
Fr. Craig:
So those are my announcements at
this time.

34
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:22,709
Fr. Craig:
Let's take a moment of quiet as
we prepare for worship.

35
00:01:22,709 --> 00:01:23,349
Fr. Craig:
Alleluia!

36
00:01:23,349 --> 00:01:27,109
Fr. Craig:
Christ is risen indeed!

37
00:01:28,549 --> 00:01:32,829
Fr. Craig:
Almighty God, to you all hearts
are open, all desires known.

38
00:01:32,829 --> 00:01:35,590
Fr. Craig:
And from you no secrets are hid.

hearts by the inspiration of

let us say together.

peace to his people on earth.

Fr. Craig:
We praise you for your glory.

50
00:02:06,939 --> 00:02:10,060
Fr. Craig:
Lord Jesus Christ, only son of

51
00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:13,020
Fr. Craig:
the father, Lord God, Lamb of

52
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:15,340
Fr. Craig:
God, you take away the sin of

53
00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:16,340
Fr. Craig:
the world.

54
00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:18,219
Fr. Craig:
Have mercy on us.

55
00:02:18,219 --> 00:02:21,300
Fr. Craig:
You are seated at the right hand
of the father.

56
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:23,219
Fr. Craig:
Receive our prayer.

57
00:02:23,219 --> 00:02:25,659
Fr. Craig:
For you alone are the Holy One.

58
00:02:25,659 --> 00:02:27,699
Fr. Craig:
You alone are the Lord.

59
00:02:27,699 --> 00:02:29,780
Fr. Craig:
You alone are the Most High,

60
00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:32,219
Fr. Craig:

61
00:02:32,219 --> 00:02:34,780

Fr. Craig:
The Lord be with you.

65
00:02:40,539 --> 00:02:41,939
Fr. Craig:
Let us pray.

66
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:50,599
Fr. Craig:
Almighty and everlasting God,

67
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:52,740
Fr. Craig:
who in the Paschal mystery

68
00:02:52,740 --> 00:02:54,900
Fr. Craig:
established the new covenant of

69
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:56,979
Fr. Craig:
reconciliation.

70
00:02:56,979 --> 00:02:58,555
Fr. Craig:
Grant that all who have been

71
00:02:58,555 --> 00:03:00,330
Fr. Craig:
reborn into the fellowship of

72
00:03:00,330 --> 00:03:03,189
Fr. Craig:
Christ's body may show forth in

73
00:03:03,189 --> 00:03:05,569
Fr. Craig:
their lives what they profess by

74
00:03:05,569 --> 00:03:06,569
Fr. Craig:
their faith.

75
00:03:06,569 --> 00:03:10,449
Fr. Craig:
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you

76
00:03:10,449 --> 00:03:14,689
Fr. Craig:
and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.

77
00:03:14,689 --> 00:03:15,610
Fr. Craig:
Amen.

78
00:03:15,610 --> 00:03:17,330
Fr. Craig:
Please be seated for the
readings.

79
00:03:18,409 --> 00:03:20,969
Speaker 2:
A reading from the acts of the
apostles.

80
00:03:22,050 --> 00:03:24,409
Speaker 2:
Peter, standing with the eleven,

81
00:03:24,409 --> 00:03:26,210
Speaker 2:
raised his voice and addressed

82
00:03:26,210 --> 00:03:27,729
Speaker 2:
the crowd.

83
00:03:27,729 --> 00:03:32,330
Speaker 2:
You that are Israelites, listen
to what I have to say.

84
00:03:32,330 --> 00:03:34,810
Speaker 2:
Jesus of Nazareth, a man

85
00:03:34,810 --> 00:03:37,330
Speaker 2:
attested to you by God with

86
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:40,009
Speaker 2:
deeds of power, wonders, and

87
00:03:40,009 --> 00:03:42,009
Speaker 2:
signs that God did through him

88
00:03:42,009 --> 00:03:43,129
Speaker 2:
among you.

89
00:03:43,129 --> 00:03:48,990
Speaker 2:
As you yourselves know, this man
handed over to you according to

90
00:03:48,990 --> 00:03:52,289
Speaker 2:
the definite plan and
foreknowledge of God.

91
00:03:52,289 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2:
You crucified and killed by the
hands of those outside the law.

92
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,759
Speaker 2:
But God raised him up, having
freed him from death because it

93
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2:
was impossible for him to be
held in its power.

94
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:12,319
Speaker 2:
For David says concerning him, I
saw the Lord always before me,

95
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2:
for he is at my right hand, so
that I will not be shaken.

96
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2:
Therefore my heart was glad, and
my tongue rejoiced.

97
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2:
Moreover, my flesh will live in
hope.

98
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,660
Speaker 2:
For you will not abandon my soul

99
00:04:27,660 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2:
to Hades, or let your Holy One

100
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,399
Speaker 2:
experience corruption.

101
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2:
You have made known to me the
ways of life.

102
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,959
Speaker 2:
You will make me full of
gladness with your presence.

103
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2:
Fellow Israelites, I may say to
you confidently of our ancestor

104
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,899
Speaker 2:
David that he both died and was
buried, and his tomb is within,

105
00:04:50,899 --> 00:04:53,759
Speaker 2:
is with us to this day.

106
00:04:53,759 --> 00:04:58,149
Speaker 2:
Since he was a prophet, he knew
that God had sworn with an oath

107
00:04:58,149 --> 00:05:03,670
Speaker 2:
to him that he would put one of
his descendants on the throne.

108
00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:06,069
Speaker 2:
For seeing this, David spoke of

109
00:05:06,069 --> 00:05:07,930
Speaker 2:
the resurrection of the Messiah,

110
00:05:07,930 --> 00:05:10,490
Speaker 2:
saying, he was not abandoned to

111
00:05:10,490 --> 00:05:12,610
Speaker 2:
Hades, nor did his flesh

112
00:05:12,610 --> 00:05:15,029
Speaker 2:
experience corruption.

113
00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:18,910
Speaker 2:
This Jesus got this Jesus God
raised up.

114
00:05:18,910 --> 00:05:22,829
Speaker 2:
And of that all of us are
witnesses.

115
00:05:22,829 --> 00:05:24,189
Speaker 2:
The word of the Lord.

116
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:25,949
Speaker 3:
Thanks be to God.

117
00:05:26,589 --> 00:05:30,310
Speaker 2:
Please join me in reading Psalm
sixteen.

118
00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:34,949
Speaker 2:
Protect me, O God, for I take
refuge in you.

119
00:05:34,949 --> 00:05:36,110
Speaker 2:
I have said to.

120
00:05:35,910 --> 00:05:41,230
Speaker 3:
The Lord, you are my Lord, my
good above all others.

121
00:05:41,230 --> 00:05:46,350
Speaker 3:
All my delight is upon the godly
that are in the land, upon those

122
00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:48,870
Speaker 3:
who are noble among the people.

123
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:51,029
Speaker 3:
But those who run after other

124
00:05:51,029 --> 00:05:53,430
Speaker 3:
gods shall have their troubles

125
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:55,069
Speaker 3:
multiplied.

126
00:05:55,069 --> 00:05:55,269
Speaker 3:
They.

127
00:05:55,269 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3:
Libations of blood I will not

128
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,620
Speaker 3:
offer nor take the names of

129
00:05:59,620 --> 00:06:00,500
Speaker 3:
their God.

130
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:01,620
Speaker 2:
Upon my lips.

131
00:06:02,259 --> 00:06:05,579
Speaker 3:
O Lord, you are my portion and
my cup.

132
00:06:05,579 --> 00:06:08,540
Speaker 3:
It is you who uphold my lot.

133
00:06:08,540 --> 00:06:12,019
Speaker 3:
My boundaries enclose a pleasant
land.

134
00:06:12,019 --> 00:06:15,579
Speaker 3:
Indeed I have a goodly heritage.

135
00:06:15,579 --> 00:06:18,779
Speaker 3:
I will bless the Lord who gives
me counsel.

136
00:06:18,779 --> 00:06:22,100
Speaker 3:
My heart teaches me night after
night.

137
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:25,339
Speaker 3:
I have set the Lord always
before me.

138
00:06:25,339 --> 00:06:29,779
Speaker 3:
Because he is at my right hand,
and I shall not fall.

139
00:06:29,779 --> 00:06:34,540
Speaker 3:
My heart therefore, is glad, and
my spirit rejoices.

140
00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:36,060
Speaker 3:
My body also.

141
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:38,139
Speaker 2:
Shall rest and hope.

142
00:06:38,139 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2:
For you will not abandon me to
the grave, nor let your Holy One

143
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,779
Speaker 2:
see the pit.

144
00:06:44,779 --> 00:06:47,459
Speaker 2:
You will show me the path of
life.

145
00:06:47,459 --> 00:06:50,339
Speaker 2:
In your presence there is
fullness of joy.

146
00:06:50,779 --> 00:06:52,300
Speaker 3:
And in your right hand.

147
00:06:52,139 --> 00:06:54,180
Speaker 2:
Are pleasures forevermore.

148
00:06:55,540 --> 00:06:58,009
Speaker 2:
A reading from the first letter
of Peter.

149
00:06:59,370 --> 00:07:04,490
Speaker 2:
Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ.

150
00:07:04,490 --> 00:07:09,449
Speaker 2:
By his mercy he has given us a
new birth into a living hope

151
00:07:09,449 --> 00:07:14,290
Speaker 2:
through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead and

152
00:07:14,290 --> 00:07:19,329
Speaker 2:
into an inheritance that is
imperishable, undefiled, and

153
00:07:19,329 --> 00:07:24,930
Speaker 2:
unfading, kept in heaven for you
who are being protected by the

154
00:07:24,930 --> 00:07:30,410
Speaker 2:
power of God through faith for a
salvation ready to be revealed

155
00:07:30,410 --> 00:07:32,810
Speaker 2:
in the last time.

156
00:07:32,810 --> 00:07:35,449
Speaker 2:
In this you rejoice, even if now

157
00:07:35,449 --> 00:07:37,490
Speaker 2:
for a little while you have had

158
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:40,490
Speaker 2:
to suffer various trials so that

159
00:07:40,490 --> 00:07:42,509
Speaker 2:
the genuineness of your faith

160
00:07:42,509 --> 00:07:44,750
Speaker 2:
being more precious than gold,

161
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:46,889
Speaker 2:
that, though perishable is

162
00:07:46,889 --> 00:07:49,790
Speaker 2:
tested by fire, may be found to

163
00:07:49,790 --> 00:07:52,310
Speaker 2:
result in praise and glory and

164
00:07:52,310 --> 00:07:54,725
Speaker 2:
honor when Jesus Christ is

165
00:07:54,725 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2:
revealed.

166
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,959
Speaker 2:
Although you have not seen him,
you love him.

167
00:07:59,959 --> 00:08:04,279
Speaker 2:
And even though you do not see
him now, you believe in him and

168
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2:
rejoice with an indescribable
and glorious joy.

169
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,339
Speaker 2:
For you are not, for you are

170
00:08:10,339 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2:
receiving the outcome of your

171
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 2:
faith, the salvation of your

172
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2:
souls.

173
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2:
The word of the Lord.

174
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:18,439
Speaker 3:
Thanks be to God.

175
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:24,600
Fr. Craig:
The Holy gospel of our Lord
Jesus Christ according to John.

176
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,959
Fr. Craig:
Glory to you, Lord Christ.

177
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:33,039
Fr. Craig:
When it was evening on that day,
the first day of the week, and

178
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,799
Fr. Craig:
the doors of the house where the
disciples had met were locked

179
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:42,639
Fr. Craig:
for fear of the Jews, Jesus came
and stood among them and said,

180
00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:46,000
Fr. Craig:
peace be with you.

181
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:51,320
Fr. Craig:
After he said this, he showed
them his hands and his side.

182
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,470
Fr. Craig:
Then the disciples rejoiced when
they saw the Lord Jesus again

183
00:08:56,470 --> 00:09:00,710
Fr. Craig:
said to them, peace be with you.

184
00:09:00,710 --> 00:09:06,190
Fr. Craig:
As the father has sent me, so I
send you.

185
00:09:06,190 --> 00:09:08,809
Fr. Craig:
When he had said this, he
breathed on them and said to

186
00:09:08,809 --> 00:09:11,870
Fr. Craig:
them, Receive the Holy Spirit.

187
00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:17,269
Fr. Craig:
If you forgive the sins of any,
they are forgiven them.

188
00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:22,669
Fr. Craig:
If you retain the sins of any,
they are retained.

189
00:09:22,669 --> 00:09:26,889
Fr. Craig:
But Thomas, who was called the
twin, one of the twelve, was not

190
00:09:26,889 --> 00:09:29,549
Fr. Craig:
with them when Jesus came.

191
00:09:29,549 --> 00:09:33,950
Fr. Craig:
So the other disciples told him,
we have seen the Lord.

192
00:09:33,950 --> 00:09:37,830
Fr. Craig:
But he said to them, unless I
see the mark of the nails in his

193
00:09:37,830 --> 00:09:42,710
Fr. Craig:
hands, and put my finger in the
mark of the nails and my hand in

194
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:46,269
Fr. Craig:
his side, I will not believe.

195
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:53,110
Fr. Craig:
A week later, his disciples were
again in the house, and Thomas

196
00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:54,700
Fr. Craig:
was with them.

197
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:59,620
Fr. Craig:
Although the doors were shut,
Jesus came and stood among them

198
00:09:59,620 --> 00:10:03,740
Fr. Craig:
and said, peace be with you.

199
00:10:03,740 --> 00:10:09,179
Fr. Craig:
Then he said to Thomas, put your
finger here and see my hands.

200
00:10:09,179 --> 00:10:13,139
Fr. Craig:
Reach out your hand and put it
in my side.

201
00:10:13,139 --> 00:10:16,740
Fr. Craig:
Do not doubt but believe.

202
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:22,139
Fr. Craig:
Thomas answered him, my Lord and
my God.

203
00:10:22,139 --> 00:10:24,580
Fr. Craig:
Jesus said to him, have you

204
00:10:24,580 --> 00:10:26,039
Fr. Craig:
believed because you have seen

205
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:26,860
Fr. Craig:
me?

206
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:28,700
Fr. Craig:
Blessed are those who have not

207
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,480
Fr. Craig:
seen and yet have come to

208
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,179
Fr. Craig:
believe.

209
00:10:32,179 --> 00:10:35,340
Fr. Craig:
Now Jesus did many other signs
in the presence of his

210
00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:39,740
Fr. Craig:
disciples, which are not written
in this book, but these are

211
00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:43,340
Fr. Craig:
written so that you may come out
to believe that Jesus is the

212
00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:47,620
Fr. Craig:
Messiah, the Son of God, and
that through believing you may

213
00:10:47,620 --> 00:10:49,940
Fr. Craig:
have life in his name.

214
00:10:49,940 --> 00:10:51,940
Fr. Craig:
The gospel of the Lord.

215
00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:55,210
Fr. Craig:
Praise to you, Lord Christ, in

216
00:10:55,210 --> 00:10:57,850
Fr. Craig:
the name of God, father, Son and

217
00:10:57,850 --> 00:10:59,049
Fr. Craig:
Holy Spirit.

218
00:10:59,049 --> 00:10:59,809
Fr. Craig:
Amen.

219
00:10:59,809 --> 00:11:00,850
Fr. Craig:
Please be seated.

220
00:11:05,690 --> 00:11:10,289
Fr. Craig:
I'm going to tell you, lifting
that gold covered gospel book

221
00:11:10,289 --> 00:11:12,889
Fr. Craig:
weighs a ton.

222
00:11:12,889 --> 00:11:14,610
Fr. Craig:
I think my biceps and triceps

223
00:11:14,610 --> 00:11:16,190
Fr. Craig:
are going to get a workout

224
00:11:16,190 --> 00:11:16,929
Fr. Craig:
today.

225
00:11:17,929 --> 00:11:20,990
Fr. Craig:
Anyway, last week during my
homily, I said kind of the

226
00:11:20,990 --> 00:11:25,549
Fr. Craig:
phrase from the Gospel of
Matthew on Easter Sunday is

227
00:11:25,549 --> 00:11:26,809
Fr. Craig:
don't be afraid.

228
00:11:28,330 --> 00:11:34,610
Fr. Craig:
Today's phrase from the Gospel
of John is peace be with you.

229
00:11:34,610 --> 00:11:36,409
Fr. Craig:
We heard it at least three

230
00:11:36,409 --> 00:11:40,610
Fr. Craig:
times, all from Jesus to the

231
00:11:40,610 --> 00:11:41,970
Fr. Craig:
disciples.

232
00:11:43,409 --> 00:11:46,769
Fr. Craig:
Now, context for today's
reading.

233
00:11:46,769 --> 00:11:50,850
Fr. Craig:
If you didn't quite pick it up
from how it started, is.

234
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:57,759
Fr. Craig:
We're kind of at the end of the
day on Easter Sunday.

235
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,720
Fr. Craig:
This isn't three weeks later.

236
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,200
Fr. Craig:
Six weeks later or anything like
that.

237
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:06,399
Fr. Craig:
This is the Sunday after the
crucifixion.

238
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,059
Fr. Craig:
The disciples were assuming, are

239
00:12:08,059 --> 00:12:11,080
Fr. Craig:
aware from the women that Jesus

240
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,240
Fr. Craig:
has risen, but they are still

241
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,559
Fr. Craig:
holed up in that upper room

242
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,840
Fr. Craig:
where the Last Supper took

243
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,360
Fr. Craig:
place, because they are afraid

244
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,360
Fr. Craig:
and they have every reason to be

245
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,320
Fr. Craig:
afraid, mostly because their

246
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,360
Fr. Craig:
concern is the authorities are

247
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,639
Fr. Craig:
going to come and get them, and

248
00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:31,799
Fr. Craig:
they're going to have the same

249
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:34,080
Fr. Craig:
fate that Jesus had on the

250
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,720
Fr. Craig:
previous Fridays.

251
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,440
Fr. Craig:
So their fear is real.

252
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:42,440
Fr. Craig:
Their reason for being together

253
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,419
Fr. Craig:
is a combination of kind of

254
00:12:45,419 --> 00:12:46,120
Fr. Craig:
misery.

255
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,879
Fr. Craig:
Loves company.

256
00:12:48,879 --> 00:12:50,080
Fr. Craig:
They're afraid.

257
00:12:51,350 --> 00:12:52,909
Fr. Craig:
They're grieving.

258
00:12:54,110 --> 00:12:58,669
Fr. Craig:
And there's one other piece in
there that we don't talk about,

259
00:12:58,669 --> 00:13:05,509
Fr. Craig:
which is, I think on some level,
those eleven men are ashamed.

260
00:13:06,549 --> 00:13:08,470
Fr. Craig:
Why should they be ashamed?

261
00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:15,149
Fr. Craig:
Because those who were the most
ardent of followers.

262
00:13:18,029 --> 00:13:24,429
Fr. Craig:
During Jesus's worst moments
were nowhere to be found.

263
00:13:26,309 --> 00:13:28,289
Fr. Craig:
The women were found in the

264
00:13:28,289 --> 00:13:29,769
Fr. Craig:
Gospels at the foot of the

265
00:13:29,769 --> 00:13:31,389
Fr. Craig:
cross.

266
00:13:31,389 --> 00:13:33,830
Fr. Craig:
I would like to hypothesize that
that's why they got to be the

267
00:13:33,830 --> 00:13:37,529
Fr. Craig:
first ones to find out about the
resurrection, because they hung

268
00:13:37,529 --> 00:13:39,110
Fr. Craig:
in there to the bitter end.

269
00:13:41,309 --> 00:13:46,389
Fr. Craig:
But the apostles were nowhere to
be found in the crucifixion.

270
00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:51,419
Fr. Craig:
The only one that we truly know
of after the Garden of Eden or

271
00:13:51,419 --> 00:13:52,580
Fr. Craig:
Garden of Gethsemane.

272
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:53,019
Fr. Craig:
Excuse me.

273
00:13:53,019 --> 00:13:53,860
Fr. Craig:
Wrong garden.

274
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:58,779
Fr. Craig:
It's not a good morning, let me
tell you.

275
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:01,620
Fr. Craig:
At the Garden of Gethsemane, we

276
00:14:01,620 --> 00:14:05,019
Fr. Craig:
really hear about Peter and his

277
00:14:05,019 --> 00:14:07,419
Fr. Craig:
denial of Jesus during the

278
00:14:07,419 --> 00:14:09,059
Fr. Craig:
trial.

279
00:14:09,059 --> 00:14:10,500
Fr. Craig:
Ultimate betrayal.

280
00:14:12,779 --> 00:14:18,860
Fr. Craig:
So when Jesus comes through the
locked door, which, quite

281
00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:23,340
Fr. Craig:
frankly, would freak me out
because we talk about the

282
00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:26,659
Fr. Craig:
resurrected body, he could eat,
but he could go through doors.

283
00:14:26,659 --> 00:14:27,220
Fr. Craig:
Kind of.

284
00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:29,539
Fr. Craig:
No one's quite figured that one
out yet.

285
00:14:30,659 --> 00:14:32,940
Fr. Craig:
I can imagine what the fear was

286
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:35,659
Fr. Craig:
replacing all the fear of the

287
00:14:35,659 --> 00:14:36,779
Fr. Craig:
authorities.

288
00:14:36,779 --> 00:14:38,539
Fr. Craig:
Jesus is here.

289
00:14:40,179 --> 00:14:41,940
Fr. Craig:
Kind of feels like it's a ghost.

290
00:14:41,940 --> 00:14:43,460
Fr. Craig:
We're not sure.

291
00:14:43,460 --> 00:14:45,259
Fr. Craig:
And so Jesus begins to allay

292
00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:47,659
Fr. Craig:
their fears with peace be with

293
00:14:47,659 --> 00:14:48,220
Fr. Craig:
you.

294
00:14:50,610 --> 00:14:56,570
Fr. Craig:
But that line goes even deeper
as he extends his hand and his

295
00:14:56,570 --> 00:15:00,529
Fr. Craig:
side to those who fail to
believe what he had told them.

296
00:15:02,169 --> 00:15:06,570
Fr. Craig:
Because in doing so, not only is
he offering them peace, but he

297
00:15:06,570 --> 00:15:09,610
Fr. Craig:
is offering them forgiveness.

298
00:15:09,610 --> 00:15:11,850
Fr. Craig:
One of the podcasts I listened

299
00:15:11,850 --> 00:15:14,370
Fr. Craig:
to in preparation is called Same

300
00:15:14,370 --> 00:15:16,730
Fr. Craig:
Old Song, and the two Episcopal

301
00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:18,490
Fr. Craig:
priests that presented every

302
00:15:18,490 --> 00:15:19,049
Fr. Craig:
week.

303
00:15:19,049 --> 00:15:21,289
Fr. Craig:
We're talking about this very
moment.

304
00:15:21,289 --> 00:15:26,169
Fr. Craig:
They said, if I was Jacob
Christ, I would turn around.

305
00:15:26,169 --> 00:15:26,570
Fr. Craig:
I'm not sure.

306
00:15:26,570 --> 00:15:31,529
Fr. Craig:
I would say peace be with you is
I would be angry, frustrated

307
00:15:31,529 --> 00:15:34,649
Fr. Craig:
that they had let him down.

308
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:39,289
Fr. Craig:
But Jesus offers peace in that

309
00:15:39,289 --> 00:15:42,549
Fr. Craig:
moment and he offers

310
00:15:42,549 --> 00:15:43,850
Fr. Craig:
forgiveness.

311
00:15:45,090 --> 00:15:52,919
Fr. Craig:
He understood and accepted their
frail humanity that could not

312
00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:59,120
Fr. Craig:
sustain itself in the horrors of
the moments of Good Friday.

313
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,840
Fr. Craig:
And just like from his words on
the cross as he looked out, and

314
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,919
Fr. Craig:
the total betrayal of humanity
towards God with the words,

315
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:14,080
Fr. Craig:
forgive them, for they know not
what they do.

316
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:22,440
Fr. Craig:
Jesus enters that upper room not
just to allay their grief.

317
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:31,879
Fr. Craig:
But to offer them the peace that
forgiveness brings with it.

318
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,299
Fr. Craig:
A true peace, not one that is
constrained by some sort of

319
00:16:40,299 --> 00:16:47,440
Fr. Craig:
contract, but a true deep peace
that comes with the willingness

320
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,789
Fr. Craig:
and the ability to fully forgive
and be forgiven.

321
00:16:54,590 --> 00:16:58,470
Fr. Craig:
I think that's a lesson for all
of us, I know.

322
00:16:58,470 --> 00:17:02,909
Fr. Craig:
As I've said to you before, one
of the hardest things for me is

323
00:17:02,909 --> 00:17:08,630
Fr. Craig:
to let go of things, to offer
peace, to offer full forgiveness

324
00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:11,589
Fr. Craig:
because it just eats at you and
ruminates in you.

325
00:17:11,589 --> 00:17:13,829
Fr. Craig:
And part of offering forgiveness

326
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:16,230
Fr. Craig:
is the ability to let go of

327
00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:17,029
Fr. Craig:
something.

328
00:17:18,069 --> 00:17:22,029
Fr. Craig:
Forgiveness really isn't
designed, as we say, to.

329
00:17:22,029 --> 00:17:23,609
Fr. Craig:
It's not about the other person,

330
00:17:23,609 --> 00:17:25,190
Fr. Craig:
it's about the other person not

331
00:17:25,190 --> 00:17:27,509
Fr. Craig:
being able to have space in your

332
00:17:27,509 --> 00:17:28,190
Fr. Craig:
head.

333
00:17:29,269 --> 00:17:31,630
Fr. Craig:
And true forgiveness comes when

334
00:17:31,630 --> 00:17:35,029
Fr. Craig:
we're able to let go of whatever

335
00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:37,589
Fr. Craig:
that offense may be or feel as

336
00:17:37,589 --> 00:17:39,650
Fr. Craig:
if, and allow us perhaps to

337
00:17:39,650 --> 00:17:42,430
Fr. Craig:
enter into some form of

338
00:17:42,430 --> 00:17:43,990
Fr. Craig:
conversation.

339
00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:51,019
Fr. Craig:
The only way that we get to
peace between warring sides is

340
00:17:51,019 --> 00:17:55,740
Fr. Craig:
by one side being vulnerable in
the way that Jesus was

341
00:17:55,740 --> 00:17:59,779
Fr. Craig:
vulnerable to the disciples on
that evening, instead of being

342
00:17:59,779 --> 00:18:03,500
Fr. Craig:
angry and cross, which he had
every right to be.

343
00:18:03,500 --> 00:18:06,299
Fr. Craig:
He starts by saying, peace be
with you.

344
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:11,339
Fr. Craig:
And offering that deep, rich
bit.

345
00:18:11,339 --> 00:18:15,619
Fr. Craig:
As the rabbi would tell you, the
peace that he's offering is

346
00:18:15,619 --> 00:18:19,779
Fr. Craig:
shalom, which is again, a very
deep, realistic peace.

347
00:18:20,859 --> 00:18:24,460
Fr. Craig:
It is only when one side or the

348
00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:26,019
Fr. Craig:
other is willing to go there and

349
00:18:26,019 --> 00:18:30,220
Fr. Craig:
be vulnerable, that we are able

350
00:18:30,220 --> 00:18:31,539
Fr. Craig:
to begin the process of

351
00:18:31,539 --> 00:18:32,980
Fr. Craig:
reconciliation.

352
00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:41,900
Fr. Craig:
And as I look out at this world
today, I look at this country, I

353
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:47,839
Fr. Craig:
look at the wars that we are
seeing going on around us, It

354
00:18:47,839 --> 00:18:53,839
Fr. Craig:
seems that we're more about
being right than we are about

355
00:18:53,839 --> 00:18:56,099
Fr. Craig:
actually being in relationship.

356
00:18:58,259 --> 00:19:02,500
Fr. Craig:
And I see that in this country,
in this community in which we

357
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:08,019
Fr. Craig:
live, that it seems as if we've
gotten more to a point about

358
00:19:08,019 --> 00:19:13,779
Fr. Craig:
being right on something than
being in relationship, whether

359
00:19:13,779 --> 00:19:18,420
Fr. Craig:
it be in terms of our politics,
whether it be in terms of what

360
00:19:18,420 --> 00:19:23,339
Fr. Craig:
we believe to be true or even
how we think one another should

361
00:19:23,339 --> 00:19:24,619
Fr. Craig:
live their lives.

362
00:19:25,859 --> 00:19:26,980
Fr. Craig:
Oftentimes, what we find when

363
00:19:26,980 --> 00:19:28,380
Fr. Craig:
we're willing to let go of our

364
00:19:28,380 --> 00:19:30,180
Fr. Craig:
pride and be vulnerable to one

365
00:19:30,180 --> 00:19:31,579
Fr. Craig:
who we feel is wrong or has

366
00:19:31,579 --> 00:19:33,740
Fr. Craig:
wronged us, we allow ourselves

367
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:36,019
Fr. Craig:
to enter into communication and

368
00:19:36,019 --> 00:19:39,380
Fr. Craig:
discover that we really want the

369
00:19:39,380 --> 00:19:40,339
Fr. Craig:
same things.

370
00:19:40,339 --> 00:19:43,579
Fr. Craig:
We're coming at it from a very
different angle.

371
00:19:43,579 --> 00:19:45,180
Fr. Craig:
What I find so interesting about

372
00:19:45,180 --> 00:19:46,569
Fr. Craig:
the church throughout its

373
00:19:46,569 --> 00:19:47,970
Fr. Craig:
history is the one place that

374
00:19:47,970 --> 00:19:48,730
Fr. Craig:
teaches.

375
00:19:48,730 --> 00:19:53,930
Fr. Craig:
Peace has also been the
institution that is about schism

376
00:19:53,930 --> 00:19:56,650
Fr. Craig:
and warfare among itself.

377
00:19:56,650 --> 00:20:03,069
Fr. Craig:
Within three hundred years of
our existence as an institution,

378
00:20:03,069 --> 00:20:07,170
Fr. Craig:
this church, the Greater Church,
was at war with itself as it was

379
00:20:07,170 --> 00:20:09,650
Fr. Craig:
hammering out the Nicene Creed.

380
00:20:11,089 --> 00:20:14,769
Fr. Craig:
And then we had factions between

381
00:20:14,769 --> 00:20:18,329
Fr. Craig:
Arius and say, I can't think of

382
00:20:18,329 --> 00:20:20,269
Fr. Craig:
the other person at this point,

383
00:20:20,269 --> 00:20:22,609
Fr. Craig:
two sides, and they're arguing

384
00:20:22,609 --> 00:20:25,190
Fr. Craig:
over the eternity of Jesus

385
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:27,109
Fr. Craig:
coeternal with the father, or

386
00:20:27,109 --> 00:20:28,410
Fr. Craig:
was there a time when he was

387
00:20:28,410 --> 00:20:29,809
Fr. Craig:
not?

388
00:20:29,809 --> 00:20:30,890
Fr. Craig:
And the reason I bring that up

389
00:20:30,890 --> 00:20:32,690
Fr. Craig:
is because the argument was

390
00:20:32,690 --> 00:20:34,970
Fr. Craig:
about the word homoousios or

391
00:20:34,970 --> 00:20:36,130
Fr. Craig:
homoousios.

392
00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:41,009
Fr. Craig:
One meant fully eternal
co-eternal with the father, the

393
00:20:41,009 --> 00:20:46,839
Fr. Craig:
other meant there was a time
when Christ was not The letter

394
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:48,720
Fr. Craig:
that separated them was an iota.

395
00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:56,960
Fr. Craig:
The first schism in the church
was over an iota, one iota.

396
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,839
Fr. Craig:
And as we look at the continued
history of our church, we of the

397
00:21:01,839 --> 00:21:04,839
Fr. Craig:
church, we find this constant
seasoning instead of it being

398
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:06,839
Fr. Craig:
about peace and reconciliation.

399
00:21:06,839 --> 00:21:10,480
Fr. Craig:
It's been about one side versus
the other.

400
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,920
Fr. Craig:
And throughout my sixty three

401
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,559
Fr. Craig:
years of life, I have seen the

402
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:17,039
Fr. Craig:
institutional church divide and

403
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:20,720
Fr. Craig:
divide and divide again over any

404
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,200
Fr. Craig:
issue.

405
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,680
Fr. Craig:
You pick it.

406
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,279
Fr. Craig:
We have had division.

407
00:21:25,519 --> 00:21:27,440
Fr. Craig:
When I was ordained twenty

408
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,160
Fr. Craig:
twenty five, almost twenty six

409
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,279
Fr. Craig:
years ago.

410
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,680
Fr. Craig:
Gene Robinson was consecrated
bishop.

411
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,279
Fr. Craig:
Over how people loved.

412
00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:42,920
Fr. Craig:
We divided.

413
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:46,109
Fr. Craig:
And while I know we are on that

414
00:21:46,109 --> 00:21:47,950
Fr. Craig:
side of the aisle that stayed

415
00:21:47,950 --> 00:21:49,150
Fr. Craig:
with the Episcopal Church and

416
00:21:49,150 --> 00:21:52,009
Fr. Craig:
opened our hearts up to the LGBT

417
00:21:52,009 --> 00:21:53,309
Fr. Craig:
community fully.

418
00:21:55,430 --> 00:22:00,269
Fr. Craig:
There was still a war over who
was allowed in and who was

419
00:22:00,269 --> 00:22:06,829
Fr. Craig:
allowed out, and churches
separated and broke off.

420
00:22:08,910 --> 00:22:11,549
Fr. Craig:
It's amazing how even in the

421
00:22:11,549 --> 00:22:14,509
Fr. Craig:
church where the first words of

422
00:22:14,509 --> 00:22:16,269
Fr. Craig:
the risen Christ to his

423
00:22:16,269 --> 00:22:18,390
Fr. Craig:
disciples were, peace be with

424
00:22:18,390 --> 00:22:19,029
Fr. Craig:
you.

425
00:22:20,430 --> 00:22:22,829
Fr. Craig:
We are so willing to drop those

426
00:22:22,829 --> 00:22:26,289
Fr. Craig:
words and prefer to be right

427
00:22:26,289 --> 00:22:28,349
Fr. Craig:
over being a full and inclusive

428
00:22:28,349 --> 00:22:29,269
Fr. Craig:
community.

429
00:22:31,549 --> 00:22:35,390
Fr. Craig:
And so this day, I bring to each
and every one of us as this

430
00:22:35,390 --> 00:22:38,630
Fr. Craig:
congregation, who, as those
who've been with me for these

431
00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:43,565
Fr. Craig:
last ten years know, has been
rife at times with conflict and

432
00:22:43,565 --> 00:22:50,339
Fr. Craig:
disruption is to offer us this
thought and continued thought

433
00:22:50,339 --> 00:22:57,140
Fr. Craig:
that, as we say, that the center
of our existence is the altar

434
00:22:57,140 --> 00:22:58,500
Fr. Craig:
and the cross.

435
00:23:00,339 --> 00:23:04,779
Fr. Craig:
The center of our ministry and
relationship with each other is

436
00:23:04,779 --> 00:23:09,779
Fr. Craig:
to look for and fight for peace.

437
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:15,779
Fr. Craig:
Community relationship.

438
00:23:15,779 --> 00:23:17,500
Fr. Craig:
In the same way, Christ walks

439
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:19,839
Fr. Craig:
into the room with the disciples

440
00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:22,539
Fr. Craig:
and allays their fears when they

441
00:23:22,539 --> 00:23:23,579
Fr. Craig:
see him, not just because they

442
00:23:23,579 --> 00:23:25,940
Fr. Craig:
thought he was a ghost, but

443
00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:27,180
Fr. Craig:
because of how they had let him

444
00:23:27,180 --> 00:23:27,859
Fr. Craig:
down.

445
00:23:29,180 --> 00:23:33,019
Fr. Craig:
He doesn't bring it up, but
merely says, peace be with you.

446
00:23:33,019 --> 00:23:35,220
Fr. Craig:
May we each week, even with

447
00:23:35,220 --> 00:23:36,859
Fr. Craig:
those whom we are angry with,

448
00:23:36,859 --> 00:23:40,519
Fr. Craig:
those whom we do not agree with,

449
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:44,329
Fr. Craig:
seek peace and community with

450
00:23:44,329 --> 00:23:47,329
Fr. Craig:
each other and make that our

451
00:23:47,329 --> 00:23:49,210
Fr. Craig:
goal throughout this Easter

452
00:23:49,210 --> 00:23:50,289
Fr. Craig:
season.

453
00:23:50,289 --> 00:23:52,009
Fr. Craig:
Amen.

454
00:23:52,009 --> 00:23:53,569
Fr. Craig:
I invite you to please stand and

455
00:23:53,569 --> 00:23:54,890
Fr. Craig:
join me in affirming our faith

456
00:23:54,890 --> 00:23:56,450
Fr. Craig:
with the words of the Nicene

457
00:23:56,450 --> 00:23:57,130
Fr. Craig:
Creed.

458
00:23:58,450 --> 00:24:02,930
Fr. Craig:
We believe in one God, the
Father, the Almighty, maker of

459
00:24:02,930 --> 00:24:07,450
Fr. Craig:
heaven and earth, of all that is
seen and unseen.

460
00:24:07,450 --> 00:24:12,150
Fr. Craig:
We believe in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the only Son of God,

461
00:24:12,150 --> 00:24:17,089
Fr. Craig:
eternally begotten of the
father, God from God, light from

462
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:20,130
Fr. Craig:
light, true God from true God.

463
00:24:20,130 --> 00:24:24,210
Fr. Craig:
Begotten, not made of one being
with the father.

464
00:24:24,210 --> 00:24:29,049
Fr. Craig:
Through him all things were made
for us and for our salvation.

465
00:24:29,049 --> 00:24:33,609
Fr. Craig:
He came down from heaven by the
power of the Holy Spirit.

466
00:24:33,609 --> 00:24:38,690
Fr. Craig:
He became incarnate from the
Virgin Mary and was made man.

467
00:24:38,690 --> 00:24:42,250
Fr. Craig:
For our sake he was crucified
under Pontius Pilate.

468
00:24:42,250 --> 00:24:44,880
Fr. Craig:
He suffered death and was
buried.

469
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,339
Fr. Craig:
On the third day he rose again

470
00:24:47,339 --> 00:24:48,559
Fr. Craig:
in accordance with the

471
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:49,759
Fr. Craig:
scriptures.

472
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:52,240
Fr. Craig:
He ascended into heaven and is

473
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,759
Fr. Craig:
seated at the right hand of the

474
00:24:53,759 --> 00:24:54,920
Fr. Craig:
father.

475
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,619
Fr. Craig:
He will come again in glory to

476
00:24:56,619 --> 00:24:58,480
Fr. Craig:
judge the living and the dead,

477

Fr. Craig:
end.

479

the Lord, the giver of life, who

481

He has spoken through the
prophets.

486
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,720

We believe in one holy, Catholic
and apostolic church.

We acknowledge one baptism for
the forgiveness of sins.

488
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,119

Let us confess our sins against
God and our neighbor.

542
00:28:20,690 --> 00:28:25,990
Fr. Craig:
Most merciful God, we confess
that we have sinned against you

543
00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:31,289
Fr. Craig:
in thought, word and deed, by
what we have done and by what we

544
00:28:31,289 --> 00:28:33,210
Fr. Craig:
have left undone.

545
00:28:33,210 --> 00:28:36,009
Fr. Craig:
We have not loved you with our
whole heart.

546
00:28:36,009 --> 00:28:39,490
Fr. Craig:
We have not loved our neighbors
as ourselves.

547
00:28:39,490 --> 00:28:41,839
Fr. Craig:
We are truly sorry and we humbly

548

Fr. Craig:
Jesus Christ.

Fr. Craig:
Have mercy on us and forgive us

00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 5:
Don't marry those.

565
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,680
Fr. Craig:
In my old book, the page was
already popped right open.

566
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,680
Fr. Craig:
But yes, the Lord be with you.

567
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:37,880

Let us pray.

Watch over your children, oh
Lord, as their days increase.

Bless and guide them wherever
they may be.

Fr. Craig:
Strengthen them when they stand.

00:29:49,269 --> 00:29:52,869
Fr. Craig:
Comfort them when discouraged or
sorrowful.

572
00:29:52,869 --> 00:29:55,109
Fr. Craig:
Raise them up when they fall.

573
00:29:56,390 --> 00:29:57,829
Fr. Craig:
And in their hearts.

574
00:29:57,829 --> 00:30:01,710
Fr. Craig:
May your peace which passes all
understanding abide all the days

575
00:30:01,710 --> 00:30:02,869
Fr. Craig:
of their lives.

576
00:30:02,869 --> 00:30:05,230

00:30:09,789 --> 00:30:11,390
Speaker 3:
And with you.

580
00:30:11,549 --> 00:30:14,390
Fr. Craig:
Let us greet one another with a
sign of Christ's love for us.

581
00:30:15,630 --> 00:30:18,910
Fr. Craig:
Walk in love as Christ loved us
and gave himself for us an

582
00:30:18,910 --> 00:30:21,470
Fr. Craig:
offering and sacrifice to God.

583
00:30:21,470 --> 00:30:22,910
Fr. Craig:
All things come from you, oh

584
00:30:22,910 --> 00:30:24,710
Fr. Craig:
Lord, and of your own have we

585
00:30:24,710 --> 00:30:25,869
Fr. Craig:
given you.

586
00:30:25,869 --> 00:30:26,630
Fr. Craig:
Amen.

587
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:29,230
Fr. Craig:
The Lord be with you.

588
00:30:30,349 --> 00:30:31,950

Lift up your hearts.

589
00:30:31,950 --> 00:30:33,829
Fr. Craig:
We lift them to the Lord.

590
00:30:33,829 --> 00:30:36,829
Fr. Craig:
Let us give thanks to the Lord
our God.

591
00:30:36,829 --> 00:30:40,660
Fr. Craig:
It is right to give him thanks
and praise.

592
00:30:40,660 --> 00:30:44,539
Fr. Craig:
It is right and a good and
joyful thing always and

593
00:30:44,539 --> 00:30:49,539
Fr. Craig:
everywhere to give thanks to
you, Father Almighty, creator of

594
00:30:49,539 --> 00:30:51,420
Fr. Craig:
heaven and earth.

595
00:30:51,420 --> 00:30:54,420
Fr. Craig:
But chiefly are we bound to
praise you for the glorious

596
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:58,380
Fr. Craig:
resurrection of your Son, Jesus
Christ our Lord.

597
00:30:58,380 --> 00:31:00,599
Fr. Craig:
For he is the true Paschal Lamb

598
00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:03,220
Fr. Craig:
who was sacrificed for us and

599
00:31:03,220 --> 00:31:04,579
Fr. Craig:
has taken away the sin of the

600
00:31:04,579 --> 00:31:05,779
Fr. Craig:
world.

601
00:31:05,779 --> 00:31:07,420
Fr. Craig:
By his death he has destroyed

602
00:31:07,420 --> 00:31:09,940
Fr. Craig:
death, and by his rising to life

603
00:31:09,940 --> 00:31:11,980
Fr. Craig:
again he has won for us

604
00:31:11,980 --> 00:31:13,900
Fr. Craig:
everlasting life.

605
00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:17,420
Fr. Craig:
Therefore, we praise you,
joining our voices with angels

606
00:31:17,420 --> 00:31:21,859
Fr. Craig:
and archangels, and with all the
company of heaven who forever

607
00:31:21,859 --> 00:31:25,900
Fr. Craig:
sing this hymn to proclaim the
glory of your name.

608
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:30,619
Fr. Craig:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of
power and might.

609
00:31:30,619 --> 00:31:33,339
Fr. Craig:
Heaven and earth are full of
your glory.

610
00:31:33,339 --> 00:31:35,420
Fr. Craig:
Hosanna in the highest.

611
00:31:35,420 --> 00:31:38,890
Fr. Craig:
Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord.

612
00:31:38,890 --> 00:31:41,329
Fr. Craig:
Hosanna in the highest.

613
00:31:41,329 --> 00:31:43,490
Fr. Craig:
Holy and gracious father, in

614
00:31:43,490 --> 00:31:45,130
Fr. Craig:
your infinite love you made us

615
00:31:45,130 --> 00:31:46,809
Fr. Craig:
for yourself.

616
00:31:46,809 --> 00:31:51,250
Fr. Craig:
And when we had fallen into sin
and become subject to evil and

617
00:31:51,250 --> 00:31:56,210
Fr. Craig:
death, you in your mercy sent
Jesus Christ, your only and

618
00:31:56,210 --> 00:32:02,289
Fr. Craig:
eternal son, to share our human
nature, to live and die as one

619
00:32:02,289 --> 00:32:07,009
Fr. Craig:
of us, to reconcile us to you,
the God and Father of all.

620
00:32:07,009 --> 00:32:09,170
Fr. Craig:
He stretched out his arms upon

621
00:32:09,170 --> 00:32:11,650
Fr. Craig:
the cross and offered himself in

622
00:32:11,650 --> 00:32:13,730
Fr. Craig:
obedience to your will, a

623
00:32:13,730 --> 00:32:15,930
Fr. Craig:
perfect sacrifice for the whole

624
00:32:15,930 --> 00:32:16,849
Fr. Craig:
world.

625
00:32:17,970 --> 00:32:21,930
Fr. Craig:
On the night he was handed over
to suffering and death, our Lord

626
00:32:21,930 --> 00:32:24,289
Fr. Craig:
Jesus Christ took bread.

627
00:32:24,289 --> 00:32:25,670
Fr. Craig:
And when he had given thanks to

628
00:32:25,670 --> 00:32:28,230
Fr. Craig:
you, he broke it and gave it to

629
00:32:28,230 --> 00:32:31,150
Fr. Craig:
his disciples and said, take,

630
00:32:31,150 --> 00:32:32,369
Fr. Craig:
eat.

631
00:32:32,369 --> 00:32:35,490
Fr. Craig:
This is my body which is given
for you.

632
00:32:35,490 --> 00:32:39,559
Fr. Craig:
Do this for the remembrance of
me.

633
00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:49,240
Fr. Craig:
After supper he took the cup of
wine, and when he had given

634
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,200
Fr. Craig:
thanks, he gave it to them and
said, drink this, all of you.

635
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,960
Fr. Craig:
This is my blood of the new

636
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,240
Fr. Craig:
Covenant, which is shed for you

637
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,880
Fr. Craig:
and for many for the forgiveness

638
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,359
Fr. Craig:
of sins.

639
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:05,960
Fr. Craig:
Whenever you drink it, do this
for the remembrance of me.

640
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,880
Fr. Craig:
Therefore, we proclaim the
mystery of faith.

641
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,640
Fr. Craig:
Christ has died.

642
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,440
Fr. Craig:
Christ is risen.

643
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,319
Fr. Craig:
Christ will come again.

644
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,160
Fr. Craig:
We celebrate the memorial of our
redemption.

645
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,339
Fr. Craig:
Oh father, in this sacrifice of
praise and thanksgiving,

646
00:33:27,339 --> 00:33:31,160
Fr. Craig:
recalling his death,
resurrection, and ascension, we

647
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,599
Fr. Craig:
offer you these gifts.

648
00:33:33,599 --> 00:33:37,430
Fr. Craig:
Sanctify them by your Holy
Spirit to be for your people,

649
00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:42,029
Fr. Craig:
the body and blood of your son,
the holy food and drink of new

650
00:33:42,029 --> 00:33:44,950
Fr. Craig:
and unending life in him.

651
00:33:44,950 --> 00:33:49,410
Fr. Craig:
Sanctify us also, that we may
faithfully receive this holy

652
00:33:49,410 --> 00:33:54,869
Fr. Craig:
sacrament and serve you in
unity, constancy, and peace.

653
00:33:54,869 --> 00:33:55,670
Fr. Craig:
At the last day.

654
00:33:55,670 --> 00:33:57,670
Fr. Craig:
Bring us with all your saints

655
00:33:57,670 --> 00:33:59,349
Fr. Craig:
into the joy of your eternal

656
00:33:59,349 --> 00:34:00,750
Fr. Craig:
kingdom.

657
00:34:00,750 --> 00:34:06,390
Fr. Craig:
All this we ask through your Son
Jesus Christ, by him and with

658
00:34:06,390 --> 00:34:10,909
Fr. Craig:
him, and in him, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit.

659
00:34:10,909 --> 00:34:13,650
Fr. Craig:
All honor and glory is yours,

660
00:34:13,650 --> 00:34:16,230
Fr. Craig:
Almighty father, now and

661
00:34:16,230 --> 00:34:17,909
Fr. Craig:
forever.

662
00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:18,789
Fr. Craig:
Amen.

663
00:34:20,190 --> 00:34:23,250
Fr. Craig:
And now, as our Savior Christ
has taught us, we are bold to

664
00:34:23,250 --> 00:34:28,710
Fr. Craig:
say, Our father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name.

665
00:34:28,710 --> 00:34:31,070
Fr. Craig:
Thy kingdom come, thy will be

666
00:34:31,070 --> 00:34:33,349
Fr. Craig:
done, on earth as it is in

667
00:34:33,349 --> 00:34:34,309
Fr. Craig:
heaven.

668
00:34:34,309 --> 00:34:37,059
Fr. Craig:
Give us this day our daily
bread.

669
00:34:37,059 --> 00:34:39,360
Fr. Craig:
And forgive us our trespasses,

670
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,699
Fr. Craig:
as we forgive those who trespass

671
00:34:41,699 --> 00:34:43,139
Fr. Craig:
against us.

672
00:34:43,139 --> 00:34:47,739
Fr. Craig:
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

673
00:34:47,739 --> 00:34:51,039
Fr. Craig:
For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory,

674
00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:52,780
Fr. Craig:
forever and ever.

675
00:34:52,780 --> 00:34:53,699
Fr. Craig:
Amen.

676
00:34:55,139 --> 00:34:55,860
Fr. Craig:
Alleluia.

677
00:34:55,860 --> 00:34:59,860
Fr. Craig:
Christ, our Passover is
sacrificed for us.

678
00:34:59,860 --> 00:35:02,139
Fr. Craig:
Therefore let us keep the feast.

679
00:35:02,139 --> 00:35:03,179
Fr. Craig:
Hallelujah!

680
00:35:04,780 --> 00:35:07,539
Fr. Craig:
The gifts of God for the people
of God.

681
00:35:07,539 --> 00:35:09,260
Fr. Craig:
Take them in remembrance that

682
00:35:09,260 --> 00:35:12,340
Fr. Craig:
Christ died for you and feed on

683
00:35:12,340 --> 00:35:14,619
Fr. Craig:
him in your hearts by faith with

684
00:35:14,619 --> 00:35:16,019
Fr. Craig:
thanksgiving.

685
00:35:16,019 --> 00:35:17,300
Fr. Craig:
Let us pray.

686
00:35:18,539 --> 00:35:22,860

Almighty and ever living God, we
thank you for feeding us with

687
00:35:22,860 --> 00:35:27,980

the spiritual food of the most
