Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryIndent\">&#8220;Holy, holy, holy is the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span> of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said: &#8220;Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0of hosts!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: &#8220;Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.&#8221; Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, &#8220;Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?&#8221; And I said, &#8220;Here am I; send me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">[And he said, &#8220;Go and say to this people: `Keep listening, but do not comprehend; keep looking, but do not understand.&#8217; Make the mind of this people dull, and stop their ears, and shut their eyes, so that they may not look with their eyes, and listen with their ears, and comprehend with their minds, and turn and be healed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Then I said, &#8220;How long, O Lord?&#8221; And he said: &#8220;Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is utterly desolate; until the Lord sends everyone far away, and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land. Even if a tenth part remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak whose stump remains standing when it is felled.&#8221; The holy seed is its stump.]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Reader:<\/i> The Word of the Lord.<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Thanks be to God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonCitation\"><em>Reader:<\/em> Let us say together<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ps1\" class=\"lessonCitation\">Psalm 138<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">1\u00a0<span class=\"initCap\">I<\/span>\u00a0will give thanks to you, O\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>, with my whole heart; *<br \/>\nbefore the gods I will sing your praise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">2 I will bow down toward your holy temple<br \/>\nand praise your Name, *<br \/>\nbecause of your love and faithfulness;<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">3 For you have glorified your Name *<br \/>\nand your word above all things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">4 When I called, you answered me; *<br \/>\nyou increased my strength within me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">5 All the kings of the earth will praise you, O\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>, *<br \/>\nwhen they have heard the words of your mouth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">6 They will sing of the ways of the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>, *<br \/>\nthat great is the glory of the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">7 Though the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0be high, he cares for the lowly; *<br \/>\nhe perceives the haughty from afar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; *<br \/>\nyou stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies;<br \/>\nyour right hand shall save me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">9 The\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0will make good his purpose for me; *<br \/>\nO\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>, your love endures for ever;<br \/>\ndo not abandon the works of your hands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Second Scripture Reading<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3 id=\"nt1\" class=\"lessonCitation\">1 Corinthians 15:1-11<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"lessonText\"><span class=\"initCap\">I<\/span>\u00a0would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you&#8211;unless you have come to believe in vain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them&#8211;though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.

He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, &#8220;Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.&#8221; Simon answered, &#8220;Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.&#8221; When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus&#8217; knees, saying, &#8220;Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!&#8221; For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, &#8220;Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.&#8221; When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Leader:<\/i> The Gospel of the Lord.<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Praise to you, Lord Christ.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.episcopalchurch.org\/sermon\/the-deep-water-epiphany-5-c-february-6-2022\/\"><strong>Please click on the Message of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Interlude: &#8220;Offertory for Epiphany&#8221; &#8211; Wihla Hutson<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>Leader:<\/i> Please stand, as you are able, as we recite together The Nicene Creed<\/p>\n<p><b>The Nicene Creed<br \/>\n<\/b>We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
