SONG/HYMN Modern Song: ‘Your Word, O Lord’ Traditional Hymn: ‘The Word was God’
Jesus, our Lord, is the eternal Word, All through whom all things came into being.

He fulfilled the Law and the prophets, All dying for our sins and rising again according to the Scriptures.
Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit: All Blessed be God for ever!
That this evening may be holy, good and peaceful, let us pray with one heart and mind.
All As our evening prayer rises before you, O God, so may your mercy come down upon us, to cleanse our hearts and set us free to sing your praise, now and for ever. Amen.
THE WORD OF GOD A light on our path
PSALM (Good News Version) Psalm 112
Praise the LORD! Happy is the person who honours the LORD, who takes pleasure in obeying his commands. 2 The good man's children will be powerful in the land; his descendants will be blessed.
His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous forever. 4 Light shines in the darkness for good people, for those who are merciful, kind, and just. 3
Happy is the person who is generous with his loans, who runs his business honestly. 6 A good person will never fail; he will always be remembered. 5
He is not afraid of receiving bad news; his faith is strong, and he trusts in the LORD. 8 He is not worried or afraid; he is certain to see his enemies defeated. 7
9 He gives generously to the needy, and his kindness never fails; he will be powerful and respected.
10 The wicked see this and are angry; they glare in hate and disappear; their hopes are gone forever.
Glory to the Father, by the Son, in the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen. Or: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen.
Generous God, save us from the meanness that calculates its interest and hoards its earthly gain; as we have freely received, so may we freely give; in the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

2 People from many nations will go to Jerusalem and say, “Come, let us go up to the LORD’s mountain. Let’s go to the temple of Jacob’s God. He will teach us how we should live. Then we will live the way he wants us to. ” The law of the LORD will be taught at Zion. His message will go out from Jerusalem (Micah 4. 2; NIr. V)
The Lord stretched out his hand, touched my mouth and said, All ‘Behold, I have put my Word in your mouth. ’ Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do. All You shall not add to nor take away from it. Glory to the Father, by the Son, in the Holy Spirit: All The Lord stretched out his hand, touched my mouth and said, ‘Behold, I have put my Word in your mouth. ’
(Time of quiet adoration)
CANTICLE Luke 1. 46 -55 (Good News Version) Christ opens to us his living word, and stand among us in his risen power.
My heart praises the Lord; my soul is glad because of God my Saviour, for he has remembered me, his lowly servant!
From now on all people will call me happy, because of the great things the Mighty God has done for me. His name is holy; from one generation to another he shows mercy to those who honour him.
He has stretched out his mighty arm and scattered the proud with all their plans. He has brought down mighty kings from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away with empty hands.
He has kept the promise he made to our ancestors, and has come to the help of his servant Israel.
He has remembered to show mercy to Abraham and to all his descendants forever!
Glory to the Father, by the Son, in the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen. Or: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen.
Christ opens to us his living word, and stand among us in his risen power.
