On Sundays and major holy days, do you want to use the standard Daily Office readings or substitute the 3-year Sunday/Holy Day cycle?

Open with the Venite (Psalm 95) always (traditional), have a special celebratory invitatory on Sundays and feasts (Pascha Nostrum during Eastertide or Jubilate/Psalm 100 otherwise), or rotate between the normal and celebratory invitatory each day. Regardless of which setting you choose, the Pascha Nostrum is always used during the first week of Easter, and the invitatory will never be the same as one of the day's appointed psalms.

ACTS 1:8

Confession of Sin

The Officiant says to the People

Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.

Dearly beloved, the Scriptures teach us to acknowledge our many sins and offenses, not concealing them from our heavenly Father, but confessing them with humble and obedient hearts that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy. We ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before Almighty God, but especially when we come together in his presence to give thanks for the great benefits we have received at his hands, to declare his most worthy praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things which are necessary for our life and our salvation. Therefore, draw near with me to the throne of heavenly grace.

Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.

Silence is kept. All kneeling, the Officiant and People say

Almighty and most merciful Father,

we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.

We have followed too much the devices and desires

of our own hearts.

We have offended against your holy laws.

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done,

and we have done those things which we ought not

to have done;

and apart from your grace, there is no health in us.

O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Spare all those who confess their faults.

Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises

declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,

that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life,

to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.

A Deacon or layperson remains kneeling and prays

Grant to your faithful people, merciful Lord, pardon and peace; that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Priest alone stands and says

The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit.Amen.

Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, desires not the death of sinners, but that they may turn from their wickedness and live. He has empowered and commanded his ministers to pronounce to his people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins. He pardons and absolves all who truly repent and genuinely believe his holy Gospel. For this reason, we beseech him to grant us true repentance and his Holy Spirit, that our present deeds may please him, the rest of our lives may be pure and holy, and that at the last we may come to his eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Psalm Appointed

60 Day Cycle

Psalm 48

Magnus Dominus

1 Great is the Lord and highly to be praised*

in the city of our God, even upon his holy hill.

2 The hill of Zion is beautiful and lofty;*

it is the joy of the whole earth.

3 Upon the north side lies the city of the great King;*

God is well known in her palaces as a sure refuge.

4 For behold, the kings of the earth*

have gathered and advanced together.

5 They marvelled to see such things;*

they were astonished and fled in terror.

6 Trembling came upon them, and anguish,*

as upon a woman in travail.

7 You caused the east wind to blow*

and broke apart the ships of Tarshish.

8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God;*

God upholds her for ever.

9 We wait for your loving-kindness, O God,*

in the midst of your temple.

10 O God, according to your Name, so is your praise to the world's end;*

your right hand is full of righteousness.

11 Let Mount Zion rejoice, and the cities of Judah be glad,*

because of your judgments.

12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her;*

count the number of her towers.

13 Mark well her bulwarks, consider her strongholds,*

that you may tell those who come after.

14 This God is our God for ever and ever;*

he shall be our guide, even unto death.

The Psalms Appointed

30 Day Cycle

Psalm 132

Memento, Domine

1 Lord, remember David,*

and all his tribulations,

2 How he swore unto the Lord,*

and vowed a vow unto the Almighty God of Jacob:

3 "I will not come within the tabernacle of my house,*

nor climb up into my bed,

4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep, nor my eyelids to slumber,*

neither the temples of my head to take any rest,

5 Until I find a place for the temple of the Lord,*

a habitation for the mighty God of Jacob."

6 Lo, we heard of the ark at Ephrathah*

and found it in the wood.

7 We will go into his tabernacle,*

and fall low on our knees before his footstool.

8 Arise, O Lord, into your resting-place,*

you and the ark of your strength.

9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness,*

and let your saints sing with joy.

10 For your servant David's sake,*

turn not away the presence of your Anointed.

11 The Lord has made a faithful oath unto David,*

and he shall not shrink from it:

12 "Of the fruit of your body*

shall I set upon your throne.

13 If your children will keep my covenant, and my testimonies that I shall teach them,*

their children also shall sit upon your throne for evermore."

14 For the Lord has chosen Zion for himself;*

he has longed for her to be his habitation:

15 "This shall be my rest for ever;*

here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.

16 I will bless her provisions with increase,*

and will satisfy her poor with bread.

17 I will clothe her priests with salvation,*

and her saints shall rejoice and sing.

18 There shall I make the horn of David flourish;*

I have prepared a lantern for my Anointed.

19 As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame;*

but upon his head shall his crown flourish."

Psalm 133

Ecce, quam bonum!

1 Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is*

when brethren dwell together in unity.

2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard,*

even Aaron's beard, and went down to the edges of his clothing,

3 Like the dew of Hermon,*

which falls upon the hills of Zion.

4 For there the Lord promised his blessing,*

even life for evermore.

Psalm 134

Ecce nunc

1 Behold now, praise the Lord,*

all you servants of the Lord,

2 You that stand by night in the house of the Lord,*

even in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary*

and sing praises unto the Lord.

4 The Lord who made heaven and earth*

give you blessing out of Zion.

Psalm 135

Laudate Nomen

1 O praise the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord;*

offer praise, you servants of the Lord,

2 You who stand in the house of the Lord,*

in the courts of the house of our God.

3 O praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;*

sing praises unto his Name, for it is lovely.

4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself*

and Israel for his own possession.

5 For I know that the Lord is great,*

and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoever the Lord pleases he does, in heaven and on earth,*

in the seas and in all the deep places.

7 He brings forth clouds from the ends of the earth*

and sends forth lightning with the rain, bringing the wind out of his treasuries.

8 It was he who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,*

both of man and beast.

9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O land of Egypt,*

against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 He smote many nations,*

and slew mighty kings:

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Bashan,*

and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

12 And he gave their land to be an inheritance,*

an inheritance for Israel his people.

13 Your Name, O Lord, endures for ever;*

so does your renown, O Lord, from one generation to another.

14 For the Lord will avenge his people*

and have compassion upon his servants.

15 As for the idols of the nations, they are but silver and gold,*

the work of human hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not;*

eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They have ears, and yet they hear not,*

neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them are like them,*

and so are all who put their trust in them.

19 Praise the Lord, O house of Israel;*

praise the Lord, O house of Aaron.

20 Praise the Lord, O house of Levi;*

you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.

21 Praised be the Lord from Zion,*

who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.

Psalm 104:24-35

Benedic, anima mea

24 O Lord, how manifold are your works;*

in wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

25 So is the great and wide sea also,*

in which are things creeping innumerable, creatures both small and great.

26 There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan,*

whom you made to take its pleasure therein.

27 These all wait upon you,*

that you may give them food in due season.

28 When you give it to them, they gather it,*

and when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

29 When you hide your face, they are troubled;*

when you take away their breath, they die, and are turned again to their dust.

30 When you let your breath go forth, they shall be made,*

and you shall renew the face of the earth.

31 The glorious majesty of the Lord shall endure for ever;*

the Lord shall rejoice in his works.

32 He looks at the earth and it trembles;*

if he even touches the hills, they shall smoke.

33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live;*

I will praise my God while I have my being,

34 And so shall my words please him;*

my joy shall be in the Lord.

35 As for sinners, they shall perish from the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end.*

Praise the Lord, O my soul. Praise the Lord.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; *

as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

The First Lesson

Isaiah 11

The lesson is read, the people sitting

Reader A reading from the Prophet Isaiah, beginning with the eleventh chapter, the first verse

The Righteous Reign of the Branch

11 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,
    and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.
And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
    the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and might,
    the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
    or decide disputes by what his ears hear,
but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist,
    and faithfulness the belt of his loins.

The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,
    and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;
    and a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze;
    their young shall lie down together;
    and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
    and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all my holy mountain;
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

10 In that day the root of Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

11 In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover the remnant that remains of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the coastlands of the sea.

12 He will raise a signal for the nations
    and will assemble the banished of Israel,
and gather the dispersed of Judah
    from the four corners of the earth.
13 The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
    and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
    and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 But they shall swoop down on the shoulder of the Philistines in the west,
    and together they shall plunder the people of the east.
They shall put out their hand against Edom and Moab,
    and the Ammonites shall obey them.
15 And the Lord will utterly destroy
    the tongue of the Sea of Egypt,
and will wave his hand over the River
    with his scorching breath,
and strike it into seven channels,
    and he will lead people across in sandals.
16 And there will be a highway from Assyria
    for the remnant that remains of his people,
as there was for Israel
    when they came up from the land of Egypt.

Acts 2:1-21

The lesson is read, the people sitting

Reader A reading from the Acts of the Apostles, beginning with the second chapter, the first verse

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12 And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Peter's Sermon at Pentecost

14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 the sun shall be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood,
    before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

The Second Lesson

John 16:1-15

The lesson is read, the people sitting

Reader A reading from the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. John, beginning with the sixteenth chapter, the first verse

16 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Reader A reading from St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, beginning with the twelfth chapter, the fourth verse

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

One Body with Many Members

12 For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

The lesson is read, the people sitting

Reader A reading from the Acts of the Apostles, beginning with the second chapter, the first verse

The Coming of the Holy Spirit

When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” 12 And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” 13 But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.”

Peter's Sermon at Pentecost

14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
    and your young men shall see visions,
    and your old men shall dream dreams;
18 even on my male servants and female servants
    in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
20 the sun shall be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood,
    before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’

Reader A reading from the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. John, beginning with the fourteenth chapter, the eighth verse

Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. 13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

by giving up our selves to your service,

and by walking before you

in holiness and righteousness all our days;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord,

to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,

be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.

A PRAYER OF ST. JOHN CHRYSOSTOM

Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting.

Amen.
