Thoughts from Fr. Hugh
As we welcome the newly baptized we say, “We receive you into the
household of God. Confess the faith of Christ crucified, proclaim his resurrection,
and share with us in his eternal priesthood.”
We, as Christians, are all in this together. Loving one another, loving our
neighbor.
The church, from the very beginning has been helped or hampered by the
society in which it exists. If it had not been for Rome, for the infrastructure of
good roads, regular shipping lanes and boats or ships, and safety around travel,
St. Paul could not have had the influence and the widespread opportunity to
share the good news of Jesus Christ.
That is the good news.
Society also hinders. I mention that because, as we are together on this
journey, there is a gift that you can give to any priest who is serving you and with
you.
In the past few years, because of confidentiality laws and the speed of
medical care caused by the insurance industry, and technology, it has become
increasingly difficult for us to know when someone is in the hospital.
Despite the thoughts of some, priesthood does not come with a crystal ball
that tells all that is occurring with parishioners. We are called by God to be with
you in the good times and the painful, difficult ones. We are to be with you. It is
our prayer that we can.
So, if you, a family member, a relative or a friend is going into the
hospital for surgery, for illness, or for what ever need be done, be sure to call
the Parish office and let us know.
If you are going in, make sure that you list yourself as a member of All
Saints. We will be there.
It is truly part of your ministry to us.

Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
And blessed be his kingdom, now and forever. Amen
The Officiant then continues
Almighty 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

COLLECT OF THE DAY
Almighty and ever living God, we humbly pray that, as your only-begotten Son was
this day presented in the temple, so we may be presented to you with pure and clean
hearts by Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The people sit.

The reader says
A READING FROM Malachi 3:1-4
Thus says the Lord, See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me,
and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the
covenant in whom you delight-- indeed, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. But
who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears?
For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of
silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver,
until they present offerings to the LORD in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah
and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former
years.
Reader
The Word of the Lord.
People
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 24: 7-10
A READING FROM Hebrews 2:14-18
Since God's children share flesh and blood, Jesus himself likewise shared the same
things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death,
that is, the devil, and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of
death. For it is clear that he did not come to help angels, but the descendants of
Abraham. Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so
4
that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a
sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself was tested by
what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.
Reader
The Word of the Lord.
People
Thanks be to God.
SEQUENCE HYMN 259
Hail to the Lord who comes
Old 120th
THE GOSPEL:
Reader:
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke 2: 22-40
People:
Glory to you, Lord Christ.
When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, the parents
of Jesus brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the
law of the Lord, "Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord"), and
they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, "a pair of
turtledoves or two young pigeons."
Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous
and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on
him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before
he had seen the Lord's Messiah. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple;
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary
under the law, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying,
"Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace,
according to your word;
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and for glory to your people Israel."
And the child's father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him.
Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, "This child is destined for the
falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that
the inner thoughts of many will be revealed-- and a sword will pierce your own soul
too."
There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She
was of a great age, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,
then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped
there with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment she came, and began to
praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of
Jerusalem.
5
When they had finished everything required by the law of the Lord, they returned to
Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. The child grew and became strong, filled with
wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him.
After the Gospel, the Reader says
The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
THE SERMON
The Reverend Hugh Tudor-Foley
THE NICENE CREED
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
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.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we
humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.

HOLY COMMUNION
EUCHARISTIC PRAYER A
OFFERTORY ANTHEM:
Nunc Dimittis
T. Tertius Noble (1867-1953)
Translation from Latin:
LORD, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace: according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
OFFERTORY HYMN 493
O for a thousand tongues to sing
Azmon
verses 1, 2, 3 & 6
The Eucharistic Gifts are brought forward.
The people remain standing. The Celebrant says
Celebrant
The Lord be with you.
People
And also with you.
Celebrant
Lift up your hearts.
People
We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People
It is right to give him thanks and praise.
The Celebrant proceeds
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you,
Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Because in the mystery of the Word
made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to give the knowledge
of your glory in the face of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore we praise you,
joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven,
who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
Celebrant and People sing
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
S 125
The people stand or kneel.
Then the Celebrant continues
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite 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 Father of all.
9
He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your
will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or to lay a hand upon it; and at the
words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be
consecrated.
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:
Celebrant and People
Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
The Celebrant continues
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and
thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these
gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of
your Son, the holy food and drink of 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 day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal
kingdom.
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in
the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and
for ever. Amen
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
People and Celebrant
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.
10
THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD
The Celebrant breaks the consecrated Bread. A period of silence is kept. Then may be said
[Alleluia.] Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
Therefore let us keep the feast. [Alleluia.]
S 155
The Celebrant says the following Invitation

The Bread and the Cup are given to the communicates with these words

Volunteers Needed for Beds Around the Altar (February 23-28)
There are families in our county that have encountered issues in
their lives, which have currently left them without a place to
live. Hope South Florida is an organization that works with
families who are awaiting space availability in a family shelter.
While they are in transition, All Saints is one of many area churches
that open up their spiritual home on a regular basis to help these
families. During the week, volunteers play an essential role in
helping the families cope during their evening stay. Individuals or families prepare a
meal and visit with the families. Two chaperones spend the night to provide a
reassuring & safe environment. The families are comforted knowing there is loving
support for them in a Christian community.
The next week we will be hosting this wonderful opportunity of Christian
outreach is the week of February 23-27. We are coordinating volunteers to bring
evening meals to feed the families at 5:30 pm and chaperones to be on-site
overnight with the families from 7 pm until 6 am in the church sanctuary. It is an
awesome and rewarding feeling when you are able to help out families in this
critical situation. For more info or to volunteer, contact Jeff Miller 954-770-4200
[email protected] or Joseph Deitz at 954-770-4300 [email protected]
