The Eucharist Mothering Sunday THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT

27 March 2022 10.30

Welcome to Bradford Cathedral The seat of the Bishop of Leeds and a Centre of Worship and Mission One of three Cathedrals – Bradford, Ripon and Wakefield – in the Anglican Diocese of Leeds Our purpose is serving Christ and transforming lives through welcome, worship and encounter. ❖ A very warm welcome to Bradford Cathedral for this service, particularly if you are visiting or with us for the first time. We hope you will stay and enjoy refreshments with us after the service, which will be served at the West End of the Cathedral. ❖ Please join in with saying or singing the words in bold type in this order of service, and sit or stand as directed if you are able. Large print copies are available from the stewards at the main door. ❖ As part of our work to keep you safe and healthy, we are keeping some windows and doors open to make sure the Cathedral is well ventilated, which may mean parts of the nave are cold. We advise you, where you can, to dress warmly when attending a service. ❖ Today’s Eucharist is sung by the Girls’ Choir and Lay Clerks of the Cathedral, and the Grace Notes. The choral setting is the Missa brevis by Grayston Ives (b.

1948). ❖ If you need to, please sit down at any point in the service, even if the instruction is to stand. It is more important for you to be comfortable and safe. ❖ We will be pleased to help you if you wish to receive a gluten-free wafer. Please speak with one of the stewards at the main door before the start of the service. ❖ Please be aware that today’s service is being livestreamed to YouTube and will be available online for two weeks. If you do not want to appear on the livestream please speak to one of the stewards who will direct you to seats not covered by the cameras. ❖ Please check that you have switched off your mobile phone. ❖ Lavatories, including disabled facilities, are available towards the back of church. ❖ The hearing loop has now been replaced.

Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele – J. S. Bach BWV 654

Welcome The Reverend Canon Paul Maybury, Acting Dean We stand.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Hymn All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings, he made their glowing colours, he made their tiny wings: The purple-headed mountain, the river running by, the sunset, and the morning that brightens up the sky: The cold wind in the winter, the pleasant summer sun, the ripe fruits in the garden, he made them every one: He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell how great is God almighty, who has made all things well.

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all.

Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL, CP 251

The Greeting The Lord be with you and also with you.

We remain standing.

Prayers of Penitence

Choir

Hear us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee.

Hear us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee.

Sins oft committed now we lay before thee with true contrition, now no more we veil them: grant us, Redeemer, loving absolution.

Hear us, O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we have sinned against thee.

Silence Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord our God, though we have rebelled against him.

Let us then renounce our wilfulness and ask his mercy by confessing our sins in penitence and faith.

We confess to you our selfishness and lack of love: Fill us with your spirit.

Lord, have mercy.

We confess to you our fear and failure in sharing our faith: Fill us with your spirit.

Christ, have mercy.

We confess to you our stubbornness and lack of trust: Fill us with your spirit.

Lord, have mercy.

Choir

Kyrie eleison.

Christe eleison.

Kyrie eleison.

Lord, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

Silence 4

Almighty God, who in Jesus Christ has given us a kingdom that cannot be destroyed, forgive you your sins, open your eyes to God’s truth, strengthen you to do God’s will and give you the joy of his kingdom, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Collect of the Day The president introduces a period of silent prayer.

God of compassion, whose Son Jesus Christ, the child of Mary, shared the life of a home in Nazareth, and on the cross drew the whole human family to himself: strengthen us in our daily living that in joy and in sorrow we may know the power of your presence to bind together and to heal; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

We sit.

First Reading

Colossians 3.12-17 read by Ian Price

As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.17And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. Silence

Gospel Acclamation We stand.

Choir

Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.

Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.

Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory.

Gospel Reading

John 19.25b-27

read by the Reverend Canon Mandy Coutts, Canon for Mission and Pastoral Development

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

Glory to you, O Lord.

Standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, here is your son.’ 27Then he said to the disciple, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, O Christ.

Sermon

After an opening prayer, we sit.

The Reverend Henriette Howarth

The Grace Notes We lift our hands in the sanctuary.

We lift our hands to give you the glory.

We lift our hands to give you the praise, And we will praise you for the rest of our days.

Jesus, we give you the praise.

Emmanuel, we lift up your name, Heavenly Father, coming Messiah; And we will praise you for the rest of our days.

We clap our hands in the sanctuary …

We sing our song in the sanctuary …

Kurt Carr (b. 1964)

We stand.

The Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, 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, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come 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.

We kneel or sit.

Prayers of Intercession

led by Jane Thompson

In the power of the Spirit and in union with Christ, let us pray to the Father.

After each section this, or another, response is used: Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

At the end: Merciful Father, accept these prayers for the sake of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

We stand.

Giving and Receiving Peace Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us access to his grace. cf. Romans 5.1, 2 The peace of the Lord be always with you and also with you.

We offer one another a sign of peace, and offer our gifts to God. The Table is set with bread and wine.

Hymn Lord Jesus Christ, you have come to us, you are one with us, Mary’s Son; cleansing our souls from all their sin, pouring your love and goodness in; Jesus, our love for you we sing, living Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ, now and every day, teach us how to pray, Son of God. You have commanded us to do this in remembrance, Lord, of you: into our lives your power breaks through, living Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ, you have come to us, born as one of us, Mary’s Son. Led out to die on Calvary, risen from death to set us free, living Lord Jesus, help us see, you are Lord.

Lord Jesus Christ, I would come to you, live my life for you, Son of God. All your commands I know are true, your many gifts will make me new, into my life your power breaks through, living Lord.

Patrick Appleford (1924-2018) LIVING LORD, CP 505 8

Prayer at the Preparation of the Table Risen Lord and Saviour, present among us with the wealth of your love.

Cleanse us from sin and give us the faith to offer our praise and grow in your grace.

Amen.

Great Thanksgiving Prayer

It is indeed right and good to give you thanks and praise, almighty God and everlasting Father, through Jesus Christ your Son. For in these forty days you lead us into the desert of repentance that through a pilgrimage of prayer and discipline we may grow in grace and learn to be your people once again.

Through fasting, prayer and acts of service you bring us back to your generous heart.

Through study of your holy word you open our eyes to your presence in the world and free our hands to welcome others into the radiant splendour of your love.

As we prepare to celebrate the Easter feast with joyful hearts and minds we bless you for your mercy and join with saints and angels for ever praising you and singing:

Choir

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth.

Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosana in excelsis.

Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosana in excelsis.

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.

Accept our praises, heavenly Father, through your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, and as we follow his example and obey his command, grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit these gifts of bread and wine may be to us his body and his blood; who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread and gave you thanks; he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.

In the same way, after supper he took the cup and gave you thanks; he gave it to them, saying: 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.

Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

Therefore, heavenly Father, we remember his offering of himself made once for all upon the cross; we proclaim his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; we look for the coming of your kingdom, and with this bread and this cup we make the memorial of Christ your Son our Lord.

Christ is the bread of life: When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus, until you come in glory.

10

Accept through him, our great high priest, this our sacrifice of thanks and praise, and as we eat and drink these holy gifts in the presence of your divine majesty, renew us by your Spirit, inspire us with your love and unite us in the body of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Through him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, with all who stand before you in earth and heaven, we worship you, Father almighty, in songs of everlasting praise: Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. Amen.

We kneel or sit.

Silence

The Lord’s Prayer Trusting in the compassion of God, as our Saviour taught us, so we pray Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

Breaking of the Bread We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.

Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one bread.

11

Giving of Communion Draw near with faith.

Receive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ which he gave for you, and his blood which he shed for you.

Eat and drink in remembrance that he died for you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith with thanksgiving.

As the ministers receive communion the choir sings Choir

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi: miserere nobis.

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi: dona nobis pacem.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace.

Please stand in your place if you would like to receive the bread of communion.

Please indicate if you would like a gluten-free wafer.

When the communion administrant says The Body of Christ we respond Amen.

Communion Motet May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, and the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you ever in the palm of his hand.

Text: Irish, 8th Century Music: Bob Chilcott (b. 1955)

Prayer after Communion Loving God, as a mother feeds her children at the breast you feed us in this sacrament with the food and drink of eternal life: help us who have tasted your goodness to grow in grace within the household of faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We stand

Hymn Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!

Unnumbered blessings, give my spirit voice; tender to me the promise of his word; in God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.

Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his name!

Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done; his mercy sure, from age to age the same; his holy name, the Lord, the mighty one.

Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might!

Powers and dominions lay their glory by.

Proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight, the hungry fed, the humble lifted high.

Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word!

Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.

Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord to children’s children and for evermore!

Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) WOODLANDS, CP 362

The Dismissal Christ give you grace to grow in holiness, to deny yourselves, take up your cross, and follow him; and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you and remain with you always.

Amen.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.

In the name of Christ. Amen.
