The Fifth Sunday In Lent

O Almighty God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men: Grant unto thy people that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The service begins with the clergy and choir entering in silence, going to their respective places in the chancel. The Litany then begins with the words “O God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth.” Then, at “Remember not, Lord, our offences…,” the clergy and choir begin a long Procession through the nave, moving down the center aisle and through the side aisles among the congregation. By the time the Rector chants “Son of God: we beseech thee to hear us,” the choir and clergy have returned to their places in the chancel.

If you listen to this service via the webcast, you will notice the movements of clergy and choir throughout the Litany Procession as they as they go farther and come nearer.

After the Litany Procession, the Rector chants the Collect of the Day, and the lessons and psalm proceed as usual, leading up to a sermon by the Rector.

The Holy Eucharist is given at the High Altar and, for convenience, at the Chantry rail as well.

If you intend to join us for this service in person, we will be most happy to welcome you. For this service especially, please arrive on time as the Litany Procession itself will make it difficult for you to make your way discreetly to a seat once the Procession has started.
