Worship at Trinity

When the text of this worship booklet is in bold, it is spoken or sung by all.

Leaders of the service will also lead these bold responses for the benefit of those worshiping from home.

A Requiem (Missa defunctorum) is a liturgy offered for the repose of the souls of those who have died. Written in memory of his father, Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem stands undisputed as one of the choral masterpieces of the 20th century. Based entirely on the Gregorian chants for the Mass for the Dead, it was one of 81 works commissioned by the Vichy regime as an effort to relieve the severe unemployment during World War II.

Opening AcclamationAlleluia. Christ is risen.The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.

Collect for PurityAlmighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE LESSONSReading Isaiah 25:6-9

On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food f illed with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear. And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death forever. Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Psalm 130Out of the depths have I called to you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice; * let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.If you, Lord, were to note what is done amiss, * O Lord, who could stand?For there is forgiveness with you; * therefore you shall be feared.I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him; * in his word is my hope.My soul waits for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning, * more than watchmen for the morning.O Israel, wait for the Lord, * for with the Lord there is mercy;With him there is plenteous redemption, * and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.

Gospel John 10:11-16The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Glory to you, Lord Christ.“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

We will pray the psalm in unison.

Sermon The Rev. Morgan S. Allen, Rector

The Apostles’ CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Prayers of the PeopleFor our all the faithful departed, let us pray to our Lord Jesus Christ who said, “I am Resurrection and I am Life.”Lord, you consoled Martha and Mary in their distress; draw near to us who mourn, and dry the tears of those who weep.Hear us, Lord.You wept at the grave of Lazarus, your friend; comfort us in our sorrow.Hear us, Lord.You promised paradise to the thief who repented; bring all the faithful departed to the joys of heaven.Hear us, Lord.Comfort us in our sorrows; let our faith be our consolation, and eternal life our hope.Hear us, Lord.

Lux aeterna Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es. Requiem aeternum dona eis, Domine; et lux perpetua luceat eis.

[May everlasting light shine upon them, O Lord, with thy saints in eternity, for thou art merciful. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and may everlasting light shine upon them.]

Pie Jesu Pie Jesu, Domine, dona eis requiem; dona eis sempiternam requiem.

[Blessed Jesus, Lord and God, grant them rest; grant them eternal rest.]

Domine Jesu ChristeO Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de poenis infernis et de profundo lacu: libera eas de ore leonis; ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum. Sed signifer sanctus Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam. Quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini eius. Hostias et preces tibi, Domine, laudis offerimus: tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum hodie memoriam facimus. Fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam.

[O Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from the bottomless pit: save them from the lion’s jaws, that hell may not engulf them, that they may not fall into darkness, but let Saint Michael the standard-bearer lead them into the holy light which Thou of old didst promise Abraham and to his seed.Sacrif ices and prayers of praise to Thee, O Lord, we offer: do Thou receive them on behalf of those souls whom this day we commemorate. Allow them, O Lord, to pass from death unto life.]

Communion from HomeThe Lord be with you.And also with you.Lift up your hearts.We lift them to the Lord.Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.It is right to give God thanks and praise.It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and every-where to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who rose victorious from the dead, and comforts us with the blessed hope of everlasting life. For to your faithful people, O Lord, life is changed, not ended; and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens.

Sanctus et BenedictusSanctus, sanctus, sanctus,Domine Deus Sabaoth,pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.Hosanna in excelsis.Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.

[Holy, holy, holy,Lord God of Sabaoth,heaven and earth are full of Thy glory.Hosanna in the highest.Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.]

In your inf inite love you made us for yourself;and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death,you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ,your only and eternal Son,to share our human nature,to live and die as one of us,to reconcile us to you,the God and Creator of all.He stretched out his arms upon the cross,and offered himself in obedience to your will,a perfect sacrif ice for the whole world.On the night he was handed over to suffering and death,our Lord Jesus Christ 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.”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.”Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:Christ has died.Christ is risen.Christ will come again.We celebrate the memorial of our redemption,O Father, in this sacrif ice of praise and thanksgiving.Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension,we thank you for these gifts,blessed at the altar of your Trinity Church.Sanctif ied by your Holy Spirit,may they be for us, your people,the Body and Blood of your Son,the holy food and drinkof new and unending life in him.

Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament,and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace;and at the last daybring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ.By Christ,and with Christ,and in Christ,in the unity of the Holy Spiritall honor and glory is yours,Almighty God, now and for ever.Amen.

The Lord’s PrayerAnd now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say: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.

Libera meLibera me, Domine, de morte aeterna in die illa tremenda, quando caeli movendi sunt et terra; dum veneris iudicare saeclum per ignem.Tremens factus sum ego, et timeo, dum discussio venerit atque ventura ira.Dies illa, dies irae, calamitatis et miseriae, dies magna et amara valde.Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine;et lux perpetua luceat eis.

[Deliver me, O Lord, from everlasting death on that dread day, when the heavens and earth shall quake; when Thou shalt come to judge the world by f ire.I am seized with trembling and I am afraid, until the day of reckoning shall arrive and the wrath to come.That day, a day of wrath, calamity and misery, the great day and most bitter.Rest eternal grant them, O Lord;and let light perpetual shine upon them.]

Postcommunion PrayerAlmighty God, we thank you that in your great love you have fed us with the spiritual food and drink of the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ, and have given us a foretaste of your heavenly banquet. Grant that this Sacrament may be to us a comfort in aff liction, and a pledge of our inheritance in that kingdom where there is no death, neither sorrow nor crying, but the fullness of joy with all your saints; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

Hymn 357 ‘Jesus, son of Mary’

Postlude ‘Fugue sur le nom d’Alain’Maurice Duruf lé (1902-1986)

Trinity Church in the City of Boston

206 Clarendon Street, Boston, MA 02116617-536-0944 + trinitychurchboston.org

The Prelude and Fugue sur le nom d’Alain was composed in memory of his friend Jehan Alain (1911-1940) who was killed in the war. Following Maurice Duruflé’s death in 1986, Mme. Duruflé told a student, “Oh no, don’t be sad. We have played the prelude to a friendship; we have a lifetime for the fugue.”

TrinityVoices

Dear Trinity Church and friends,

I invite you to join us today for our All Souls’ Communion From Home today at 9:45 am. Gathering via Zoom as we did last Sunday, we will begin our prayers by lighting the simple tealight candles we received in our Home For Faith Kits. For some, lighting this memorial candle will create a sacred space and mark a Communion setting, while, for others, the candle will light an “Altar of Remembrance” – a bookshelf, a dining table, or garden adorned with photographs and keepsakes of those who have died that members of our parish are remembering.

For months now, our choirs have stretched every bound of these days’ technology to lead our All Souls’ prayers with the singing of Maurice Duruf lé’s Requiem.

We will share Communion From Home to mark All Souls. Having learned from last weekend’s disappointing technology failures, we believe we have created a sturdy,

promising, live worship

experience. For those who were not able to participate last week, or who have bread and wine remaining from your Kit, we invite you to join with those elements. For those who may have consumed all of the consecrated bread and wine, we hope that you will join us in the spirit of our “Table Prayer” liturgies from last spring and summer, and share your morning table with us.

Before worship begins, we invite everyone to set a table wherever you are: a simple covering (on the church altar, a “corporal”); a plain plate for the bread wafers (a “paten”); and a plain glass for the wine (a “chalice”) . After praying an amended Eucharistic Prayer A from our Book of Common Prayer, we will announce the familiar Invitation: “The gifts of God, for the people of God.” We will then – from our many and varied “home chapels” and settings – consume the bread and wine, saying in turn, “The body of Christ, the bread of heaven;” and “The blood of Christ, the cup of salvation.”

Despite the technology trouble, seeing everyone via Zoom make their Communion together was incredibly powerful last Sunday. Whether with one’s morning table or the consecrated bread and wine, we believe this Sunday’s experience will be all the more moving given the richness of the All Souls’ liturgy and prayerfully anticipated audio-visual cooperation.

Finally, please f ind our Stewardship updates below this letter. Especially in the heaviness of all these days, I am giving thanks to God for the privilege and responsibility of sharing with you our Home For Faith at Trinity.

Waiting for the Lord,

The Rev. Morgan S. Allen Rector

WAITING FOR THE LORD— TOGETHER

Trinity Church in the City of Boston

206 Clarendon Street, Boston, MA 02116617-536-0944 + trinitychurchboston.org

Last Sunday’s Sermon For Week 3 of our Stewardship season, Morgan related The Jim Carroll Band’s “People Who Have Died” to Jesus’ declaration of defiance in the Gospel of Matthew’s Beatitudes. “Standing on the brink of whatever happens next,” we hope you will take heart in this message, which has video and clear audio, as well as the text of the sermon.

Last Sunday’s Testimonial We also welcomed to our worship Cindy and Bill Mackey, who shared their long and meaningful faith home at Trinity. Making a difference “from generation to generation,” don’t miss the Mackeys’ inspiring reflection.

Share your love and make your pledge! For those new to the idea of “Stewardship,” during this season at Trinity, we invite the people of our congregation to make a f inancial commitment for the upcoming year. We call that commitment a “pledge,” and our pledge is a promise that we will make a priority of our relationship with God. Our pledge partners us in the reconciling, saving work into which God has commissioned the Church. Our pledge grafts

us into a movement greater than ourselves, an undertaking greater than what any one of us could accomplish alone. Our faithful pledge confirms our share in every ministry of this remarkable congregation.

We invite you to make your pledge as soon as you are ready. We welcome you to make your pledge here on the secure page of our

website at any time, or to mail your hardcopy pledge in the church-

addressed envelope you received in your Kit.

Share Your Spire! As a sign that you have made your

pledge, we invite you to assemble the paper spire included in your Home For

Faith Kit and to share your creation – and your love – with your whole parish family. Responding to the simple prompt, “Trinity Church Is My Home For …” we hope you will decorate your spire with words, drawings, or collaged images expressing how Trinity Church is a home for you. As your spire signals your love and commitment, please take a photo or two and send them to our Communications team by clicking here. We will then share our parish spires via the website, by email, and on social media.

Prayer on the Square Suspended by Governor’s Advisories With a recent rise in Massachusetts’ coronavirus cases, Governor Baker has limited outdoor gatherings to 25 or fewer. With sadness, then, we are suspending our in-person services at this time. When the state advisory changes, we will pick up with the remaining cohorts, in the order we had planned: last names beginning K-O; then P-S; and then T-Z.

If you are new among us and would like to recieve news like this about Trinity in your inbox, please fill out an online welcome form.
