THE COLLECT: THE FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER page 170 THE FIRST READING: READER:

A Reading from the Word of God written in the Acts of the Apostles Chapter 7 beginning at the 55th verse.

But filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. "Look," he said, "I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!� But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.�

Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he died.

Reader: ALL:

Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.

THE EPISTLE READER:

A Reading from the Word of God written in 1st Peter Chapter 2 beginning at the 2nd verse.

Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation- if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God's sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in scripture: "See, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.� To you then who believe, he is precious; but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the very head of the corner,� and "A stone that makes them stumble, and a rock that makes them fall." They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Reader: ALL:

Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.

THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John Glory to Christ our Saviour.

Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told !4

you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going.

How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?

Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.

The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord

From The Rector’s Notebook Greetings: It is much to the credit of our parish that each week we carry a page entitled “Health Corner”. this demonstrates that the spiritual food in which we participate in the Mass and in our daily devotion must be commixed with our determination to be thankful for health.

In the hymnody of the church we give thanks for all things with the recognition that all gifts come from God. In hymn 657 written by Jane Taylor 1783-1824) verse 4 says My health and friends and parents dear to me by God are given; I have not any blessings her but what is sent from heaven.

Here the poet recognizes that health is one of the very many blessings that come from God and today b e i n g o b s e r v e d a s M o t h e r ’ s D a y, t o b e distinguished from the liturgical observance of Mothering Sunday, parents too are seen as a part of God’s grace to us.

When we examine our Lord in the gospel tradition we would note how clear it is that God expresses care for the good health of all of his children.

Jesus would often come to the aid of those who were sick even if they were running a higher than normal body temperature (Mark 1:29-31) Of course sacred scripture is replete with instances in which Jesus laid his powerful hands on persons !6

because of his interest in their health and sense of mental and spiritual well-being.

The same Lord is with us as we face the crisis of chronic non-communicable disease.

It does not speak well of us as a nation that taxation must be used to discourage the consumption of sweet sugary beverages or that laws must be passed to discourage smoking, albeit in public places.

Each one of us has a duty to ourselves to refrain or moderate our daily consumption, not simply because of the harmful results if we don't; but rather because it is a christian duty to do so.

Let us seek to preserve the good health God almighty has given to us and let us rejoice in the fact that our Lord cares for us

Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector
