those without hope. Please, please, God of my father, God of the heritage of Israel, Lord of heaven and earth, Creator of the waters, King of all your creation, hear my prayer! Make my deceitful words bring wound and bruise on those who have planned cruel things against your covenant, and against your sacred house, and against Mount Zion, and against the house your children possess. Let your whole nation and every tribe know and understand that you are God, the God of all power and might, and that there is no other who protects the people of Israel but you alone!" The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, "Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her. The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.

1 As the deer longs for the water-brooks, * so longs my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; * when shall I come to appear before the presence of God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, * while all day long they say to me, "Where now is your God?" 4 I pour out my soul when I think on these things: * how I went with the multitude and led them into the house of God, 5 With the voice of praise and thanksgiving, * among those who keep holy-day. 6 Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul? * and why are you so disquieted within me? 7 Put your trust in God; * for I will yet give thanks to him, who is the help of my countenance, and my God.

Collect for the Day

Saint Mary Magdalene

Almighty God, whose blessed Son restored Mary Magdalene to health of body and of mind, and called her to be a witness of his resurrection: Mercifully grant that by your grace we may be healed from all our infirmities and know you in the power of his unending life; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever Amen.

The love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them. From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

The Breaking of the Bread The Post Communion prayer

Alleluia, Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. People: Therefore let us keep the feast, Alleluia

In unison: Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood. Send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve you with gladness and singleness of heart; through Christ our Lord. Amen

A reading from the book of Judith

Judith 9:1, 11-14

Judith prostrated herself, put ashes on her head, and uncovered the sackcloth she was wearing. At the very time when the evening incense was being offered in the house of God in Jerusalem, Judith cried out to the Lord with a loud voice, and said, "Your strength does not depend on numbers, nor your might on the powerful. But you are the God of the lowly, helper of the oppressed, upholder of the weak, protector of the forsaken, savior of 1

John 20: 11-18

Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did

In unison: Let us go forth into the world as disciples of God. May Mary of Magdala be our model of courage and faithful service to the Gospel. By her example, may we delight in the presence of Jesus and shout with joy, I have seen the Lord!

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. 3

Nuestra misin como el pueblo de Dios entre el pueblo de Dios en el mundo

Omnipotente y eterno Dios, fuente de toda sabidura y entendimiento, hazte presente con nosotros que deliberamos en Santa Mara Magdalena para la misin de tu Iglesia. Ensanos a que en todas las cosas busquemos primeramente tu honor y tu gloria. Guanos para percibir lo que es justo, concdenos el valor para buscarlo y la gracia para lograrlo; por Jesucristo, nuestro Seor. Amn.

San Juan 20: 11-18

Mara se qued afuera, junto al sepulcro, llorando. Y llorando como estaba, se agach para mirar dentro, y vio dos ngeles vestidos de blanco, sentados donde haba estado el cuerpo de Jess; uno a la cabecera y otro a los pies. Los ngeles le preguntaron: Mujer, por qu lloras? Ella les dijo: Porque se han llevado a mi Seor, y no s dnde lo han puesto. Apenas dijo esto, volvi la cara y vio all a Jess, pero no saba que era l. Jess le pregunt: Mujer, por qu lloras? A quin buscas? Ella, pensando que era el que cuidaba el huerto, le dijo: Seor, si usted se lo ha llevado, dgame dnde lo ha puesto, para que yo vaya a buscarlo. Jess entonces le dijo: Mara! Ella se volvi y le dijo en hebreo: Rabuni! (que quiere decir: Maestro). Jess le dijo: No me retengas, porque todava no he ido a reunirme con mi Padre. Pero ve y di a mis hermanos que voy a reunirme con el que es mi Padre y Padre de ustedes, mi Dios y Dios de ustedes. Entonces Mara Magdalena fue y cont a los discpulos que haba visto al Seor, y tambin les cont lo que l le haba dicho.

A hymn for the feast of St Mary Magdalene Out of the night where hope had died, to tomb once sealed, now gaping wide, the Magdalene made haste, to mourn and bring her spices through the dawn. She gazed in disbelief and pain where Jesus in his death had lain, until the radiant angel said, Seek not the living with the dead. Soon trusting love cast out her fears; she rose and brushed away her tears. As first apostle, Mary ran to tell Gods resurrection plan. Jesus is risen! Mary cries, Lift up your hearts and dry your eyes, Jesus is risencome and see and goes before to Galilee. All glory be to God above, for Marys apostolic love, all praise to God whom we adore for ever and for evermore.

Santa Mara Magdalena

Dios omnipotente, cuyo bendito Hijo restaur a Mara Magdalena a la salud de cuerpo y mente, y la llam a ser testigo de su resurreccin: Concede, en tu misericordia, que por tu gracia seamos sanados de todas nuestras enfermedades y te conozcamos en el poder de la vida perdurable de Cristo; que contigo y el Espritu Santo vive y reina, un solo Dios, ahora y por siempre.

Judit 9: 1, 11-14
Judit se inclin hasta tocar el suelo con la frente, se cubri la cabeza con ceniza, y dej al descubierto las ropas speras que llevaba puestas; y en el momento en que en el templo de Jerusaln se ofreca el incienso de la tarde, Judit clam en voz alta al Seor, y dijo: Porque tu poder no depende del nmero, ni del valor de los hombres tu fuerza. T eres el Dios de los oprimidos, el protector de los humillados, el defensor de los dbiles, el apoyo de los abandonados, el salvador de los que no tienen esperanza. S, oh Dios de mi padre, Dios del pueblo de Israel, Seor del cielo y de la tierra, creador de los mares, rey de todo lo que has creado, escucha mi oracin: dame palabras para poder engaarlos y causarles el desastre y la muerte, pues tienen planes perversos contra tu alianza, contra el templo consagrado a ti, contra el monte Sin y contra la ciudad que es hogar y propiedad de tus hijos. Haz que todo tu pueblo y todas las naciones reconozcan que slo t eres Dios, Dios de todo poder y fuerza, y que fuera de ti no hay otro que proteja a Israel.

About the Congregation of Saint Mary Magdalene

Saint Mary Magdalene/Santa Mara Magdalena is a bilingual Anglican/Episcopal congregation following the usage of the Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church in the United States of North America. Part of our mission is to make worship, community and pastoral care available in English, and Spanish for residents, students, tourists, retirees and the growing numbers of international executives and their families who come to Quertaro to live and work. We are a diverse and welcoming congregation, students, workers, retirees, families and singles. Some of us have worshiped in the Episcopal or Anglican Church all of our lives. Some of us have come following Gods call to journey to a new place. We are local, and we are from many states, countries and cultures. As we celebrate Gods presence at the Table, here in Quertaro, we reflect the wholeness of Gods creation in our language, worship, prayer and care for the wider community and the environment. We welcome the faithful, the seeker and the doubter, because God's embrace is wide, and God's good news is for all people. We hope you will come, participate and grow in God's love as part of the Body of Christ with us. Like Saint Mary Magdalene, we are seekers.

Tune: Doxology

Mary, first one to the tomb 1 Mary, first one to the tomb, swiftly at the early dawn; spice she brought, and sweet perfume; The Beloved One was gone. The Magdalene weeping stood, struck with sorrow and surprise; Shed-ding tears, a plenteous flood, for the heart supplied her eyes. Jesus, as if always near, though too often unperceived, came, a true leader to cheer, asked to her soul, why she grieved? What a change living words make, turning our nights into day! All who e'er weep for Lifes sake, Love will wipe your tears a-way. John Newton (1779)

Salmo 42: 1-7

Quemadmodum

1 Como anhela el ciervo las corrientes de aguas, * as te anhela, oh Dios, el alma ma. 2 Mi alma tiene sed de Dios, del Dios vivo; * cundo vendr, y me presentar delante de Dios? 3 Fueron mis lgrimas mi alimento de da y de noche, * mientras me dicen todos los das: "Dnde est tu Dios?" 4 Doy rienda suelta a mi dolor, cuando pienso en estas cosas: * de cmo fui con la multitud, y la conduje hasta la casa de Dios, 5 Con voz de alegra y de alabanza, * haciendo fiesta la multitud. 6 Por qu te abates, oh alma ma, * y te turbas dentro de m? 7 Pon tu confianza en Dios, * porque an he de alabarle, Salvador, Presencia y Dios mo.

Tune: Spread O spread thy mighty word

2 Corintios 5: 14-18
El amor de Cristo se ha apoderado de nosotros desde que comprendimos que uno muri por todos y que, por consiguiente, todos han muerto. Y Cristo muri por todos, para que los que viven ya no vivan para s mismos, sino para l, que muri y resucit por ellos. Por eso, nosotros ya no pensamos de nadie segn los criterios de este mundo; y aunque antes pensbamos de Cristo segn tales criterios, ahora ya no pensamos as de l. Por lo tanto, el que est unido a Cristo es una nueva persona. Las cosas viejas pasaron; se convirtieron en algo nuevo. Todo esto es la obra de Dios, quien por medio de Cristo nos reconcili consigo mismo y nos dio el encargo de anunciar la reconciliacin. 4

O God, who created all peoples in your image, we thank you for the wonderful diversity of races and cultures in this world. Enrich our lives by ever-widening circles of friendship, and show us your presence in those who differ most from us, until our knowledge of your love is made perfect in our love for all your children; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
