ALL SAINTS CHURCH LA IGLESIA DE TODOS LOS SANTOS

Sixth Sunday of Easter Sexto Domingo de Pascua May 6, 2018 A Progressive Expression of the Body of Christ 10 Irving Street Worcester, Massachusetts 508-752-3766 www.allsaintsw.org

Welcome to All Saints Church! All Saints Church is a Christ-centered, joy-filled community that is blessed by your presence. Be assured that no matter who you are or where you are in your journey of faith, you are welcome here. Sunday School begins at 9:50 a.m. downstairs. Nursery care for infants to 3 year olds is available from 9:00-11:30 am, next to the Guild Room. Youth are invited to meet downstairs after the psalm for youth group. If you are a newcomer, please fill out a visitor blue card and give it to a member of the clergy. Please join us for coffee hour in Huntington Hall, through the double doors to your left, after worship! "CHRIST IS RISEN! ALLELUIA!" The Fifty Days of Easter are the Church's most celebratory season. Christ's Resurrection has given us confidence that life and love have conquered death, that nothing can separate us from God. At All Saints one way we signify the holiness and joy of Easter's seven Sundays is with bells and incense. The ringing of bells at the Sanctus, "Holy, Holy, Holy," and at the elevation of the consecrated bread and wine is an ancient Christian liturgical practice signifying the sacramental presence of Christ in our midst. For centuries, incense has been symbolic of the prayers of the faithful as well as the sanctification of people and places. At the Offertory the altar and the congregation are censed and therefore blessed by the Celebrant and the Thurifer. At All Saints, incense at the Procession is usually reserved for All Saints Sunday, Christmas, Easter Sunday, and Pentecost. As the Psalmist tells us, “Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight as the incense..." (Ps. 141)

¡Bienvenido a la Iglesia de Todos los Santos! Iglesia de Todos los Santos es una comunidad llena de alegría centrada en Cristo que es bendecida con su presencia. Tenga la seguridad de que no importa quién eres o donde usted está en su camino de fe, eres bienvenido aquí. La Dominical comienza a las 9:50 am en la planta baja. Cuidado de guardería para bebés hasta niños de 3 años está disponible de 9: 00-11: 30 am, al lado de la habitación del Guild Room. Los jóvenes están invitados a reunirse en la planta baja después del salmo para el grupo de jóvenes.

THE WORD OF GOD

LA PALABRA DE DIOS

First Reading: Acts 10:44-48

Primera Lectura:Hechos 10:44–48

While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, for they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter said, "Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?" So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for several days.

Todavía estaba hablando Pedro, cuando el Espíritu Santo vino sobre todos los que escuchaban su mensaje. Y los creyentes procedentes del judaísmo que habían llegado con Pedro, se quedaron admirados de que el Espíritu Santo fuera dado también a los que no eran judíos, pues los oían hablar en lenguas extrañas y alabar a Dios. Entonces Pedro dijo: ¿Acaso puede impedirse que sean bautizadas estas personas, que han recibido el Espíritu Santo igual que nosotros? Y mandó que fueran bautizados en el nombre de Jesucristo. Después rogaron a Pedro que se quedara con ellos algunos días.

Second Reading: 1 John 5:1-6

Segunda Lectura: 1 San Juan 5:1–6

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood.

Todo el que tiene fe en que Jesús es el Mesías, es hijo de Dios; y el que ama a un padre, ama también a los hijos de ese padre. Cuando amamos a Dios y hacemos lo que él manda, sabemos que amamos también a los hijos de Dios. El amar a Dios consiste en obedecer sus mandamientos; y sus mandamientos no son una carga, porque todo el que es hijo de Dios vence al mundo. Y nuestra fe nos ha dado la victoria sobre el mundo. El que cree que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, vence al mundo. La venida de Jesucristo quedó señalada con agua y sangre; no sólo con agua, sino con agua y sangre. El Espíritu 6

And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.

mismo es testigo de esto, y el Espíritu es la verdad.

GOSPEL ALLELUIA

Gospel Sentence (sung by the choir): Jesus said: I am the way, and the truth, and the life.

THE GOSPEL John 15:9-17 Deacon: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus according to John. People:

EL EVANGELIO San Juan 15:9-17 Diácono: Santo Evangelio de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo según San Juan. Pueblo:

Jesus said to his disciples, “As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have

Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: Yo los amo a ustedes como el Padre me ama a mí; permanezcan, pues, en el amor que les tengo. Si obedecen mis mandamientos, permanecerán en mi amor, así como yo obedezco los mandamientos de mi Padre y 7

said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.”

permanezco en su amor. Les hablo así para que se alegren conmigo y su alegría sea completa. Mi mandamiento es este: Que se amen unos a otros como yo los he amado a ustedes. El amor más grande que uno puede tener es dar su vida por sus amigos. Ustedes son mis amigos, si hacen lo que yo les mando. Ya no los llamo siervos, porque el siervo no sabe lo que hace su amo. Los llamo mis amigos, porque les he dado a conocer todo lo que mi Padre me ha dicho. Ustedes no me escogieron a mí, sino que yo los he escogido a ustedes y les he encargado que vayan y den mucho fruto, y que ese fruto permanezca. Así el Padre les dará todo lo que le pidan en mi nombre. Esto, pues, es lo que les mando: Que se amen unos a otros.

“Lord For Thy Tender Mercy’s Sake”

Richard Farrant

Lord, for thy tender mercy's sake, lay not our sins to our charge, but forgive that is past and give us grace to amend our sinful lives; to decline from sin and incline to virtue, that we may walk in a perfect heart before thee now and evermore.

Then, facing the Holy Table, the Celebrant proceeds

El Celebrante continúa:

It is truly right to glorify you, Father, and to give you thanks; for you alone are God, living and true, dwelling in light inaccessible from before time and for ever.

En verdad, oh Padre, es justo glorificarte y darte gracias; porque sólo tú eres Dios, vivo y verdadero, morando en luz inaccesible desde siempre y para siempre.

Fountain of life and source of all goodness, you made all things and fill them with your blessing; you created them to rejoice in the splendor of your radiance.

Fuente de vida y toda bondad, hiciste todas las cosas y las colmaste de tu bendición; tú las creaste para que se regocijen en el esplendor de tu gloria.

Countless throngs of angels stand before you to serve you night and day; and, beholding the glory of your presence, they offer you unceasing praise. Joining with them, and giving voice to every creature under heaven, we acclaim you, and glorify your Name, as we sing,

Innumerables ángeles están delante de ti para servirte noche y día; y contemplando la gloria de tu presencia, te ofrecen alabanza sin cesar. Y con ellos, también nosotros, y por nuestra voz las demás criaturas bajo el cielo, te aclamamos y glorificamos tu Nombre, cantando,

SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS

HYMNAL S-128

Then the Celebrant continues

El Celebrante continúa:

We acclaim you, holy Lord, glorious in power. Your mighty works reveal your wisdom and love. You formed us in your own image, giving the whole world into our care, so that, in obedience to you, our Creator, we might rule and serve all your creatures. When our

Te aclamamos, santo Señor, glorioso en poder. Tus grandes obras revelan tu sabiduría y amor. Nos formaste a tu propia Imagen, encomendándonos el mundo entero, para que, en obediencia a ti, nuestro Creador, pudiéramos regir y servir a todas tus criaturas.

10

disobedience took us far from you, you did not abandon us to the power of death. In your mercy you came to our help, so that in seeking you we might find you. Again and again you called us into covenant with you, and through the prophets you taught us to hope for salvation.

Cuando por desobediencia nos alejamos de ti, no nos abandonaste al poder de la muerte. En tu misericordia, viniste en nuestra ayuda, para que buscándote, te encontráramos. Una y otra vez nos has llamado al pacto contigo, y por los profetas nos enseñaste la esperanza de salvación.

Father, you loved the world so much that in the fullness of time you sent your only Son to be our Savior. Incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, he lived as one of us, yet without sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation; to prisoners, freedom; to the sorrowful, joy. To fulfill your purpose he gave himself up to death; and, rising from the grave, destroyed death, and made the whole creation new.

Tanto amaste al mundo, Padre, que en la plenitud del tiempo nos enviaste como Salvador a tu único Hijo. Encarnado por obra del Espíritu Santo y nacido de María, la Virgen, vivió como uno de nosotros, empero sin pecado. A los pobres proclamó las buenas nuevas de salvación; a los prisioneros, libertad; a los afligidos, gozo. Para cumplir tus designios, se entregó a la muerte y, resucitando de la tumba, destruyó la muerte e hizo nueva la creación entera.

And, that we might live no longer for ourselves, but for him who died and rose for us, he sent the Holy Spirit, his own first gift for those who believe, to complete his work in the world, and to bring to fulfillment the sanctification of all.

Y a fin de que no viviésemos más para nosotros mismos, sino para él, que por nosotros murió y resucitó, envió al Espíritu Santo como su primicia a los que creen, para completar su obra en el mundo y llevar a plenitud la santificación de todos.

11

When the hour had come for him to be glorified by you, his heavenly Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end; at supper with them he took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me."

Llegada la hora en que había de ser glorificado por ti, su Padre celestial, habiendo amado a los suyos que estaban en el mundo, los amó hasta el final; y mientras cenaba con ellos, tomó pan, y dándote gracias, lo partió y se lo dio a sus discípulos, y dijo: "Tomen y coman. Este es mi Cuerpo, entregado por ustedes. Hagan esto como memorial mío".

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me."

Después de la cena tomó el cáliz; y dándote gracias, se lo entregó, y dijo: "Beban todos de él. Esta es mi Sangre del nuevo Pacto, sangre derramada por ustedes y por muchos para el perdón de los pecados. Siempre que lo beban, háganlo como memorial mío".

Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption. Recalling Christ's death and his descent among the dead, proclaiming his resurrection and ascension to your right hand, awaiting his coming in glory; and offering to you, from the gifts you have given us, this bread and this cup, we praise you and we bless you.

Padre, celebramos ahora este memorial de nuestra redención. Recordando la muerte de Cristo y su descenso entre los muertos, proclamando su resurrección y ascensión a tu derecha, esperando su venida en gloria; y ofreciéndote, de las dádivas que tú nos has dado, este pan y este cáliz, te alabamos y te bendecimos.

12

Celebrant and People

Celebrante y Pueblo:

We praise you, We bless you, We give thanks to you, and We pray to you, Lord our God.

Te alabamos, Te bendecimos, Te damos gracias, y oramos a ti, Señor nuestro Dios.

The Celebrant continues

El Celebrante continúa:

Lord, we pray that in your goodness and mercy your Holy Spirit may descend upon us, and upon these gifts, sanctifying them and showing them to be holy gifts for your holy people, the bread of life and the cup of salvation, the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ.

Señor, te rogamos que en tu bondad y misericordia, tu Espíritu Santo descienda sobre nosotros y sobre estos dones, santificándolos y mostrando que son dones santos para tu pueblo santo, el pan de vida y el cáliz de salvación, el Cuerpo y la Sangre de tu Hijo Jesucristo.

Grant that all who share this bread and cup may become one body and one spirit, a living sacrifice in Christ, to the praise of your Name.

Concede que todos los que compartan este pan y este cáliz sean un solo cuerpo y un solo espíritu, un sacrificio vivo en Cristo, para alabanza de tu Nombre.

Remember, Lord, your one holy catholic and apostolic Church, redeemed by the blood of your Christ. Reveal its unity, guard its faith, and preserve it in peace.

Recuerda, Señor, a tu Iglesia, una, santa, católica y apostólica, redimida por la sangre de tu Cristo. Manifiesta su unidad, guarda su fe y presérvala en paz.

And grant that we may find our inheritance with the Blessed Virgin Mary, with patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and all the saints who have found favor with you in ages past. We praise you in union with them and give you glory through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Y concede que alcancemos nuestra herencia con la Bendita Virgen María, con los patriarcas, profetas, apóstoles y mártires, y todos los santos que han encontrado favor contigo en tiempos pasados. Junto con ellos te alabamos y te damos gloria, por tu Hijo Jesucristo nuestro Señor. 14

Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, all honor and glory are yours, Almighty God and Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever and forever.

Por Cristo, y con Cristo y en Cristo, tuyos son el honor y la gloria, omnipotente Dios y Padre, en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, por los siglos de los siglos.

LORD’S PRAYER

EL PADRENUESTRO

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu Nombre, venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad, en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día. Perdona nuestras ofensas, Asi como nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden. No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal. Porque tuyo es el reino, tuyo es el poder, y tuya es la gloria, ahora y por siempre. Amén

COMMUNION MOTET

“Jesus Christ the Apple Tree”

Elizabeth Poston

The tree of life my soul hath seen, Laden with fruit, and always green: The trees of nature fruitless be Compared with Christ the apple tree.

For happiness I long have sought, And pleasure dearly I have bought: I missed of all; but now I see 'Tis found in Christ the apple tree.

His beauty doth all things excel: By faith I know, but ne'er can tell The glory which I now can see In Jesus Christ the apple tree.

I'm weary with my former toil, Here I will sit and rest awhile: Under the shadow I will be of Jesus Christ the apple tree.

This fruit doth make my soul to thrive, It keeps my dying faith alive; Which makes my soul in haste to be With Jesus Christ the apple tree.
