THE COLLECT Almighty God, whose Son our Saviour Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ's glory, that He may be known, worshipped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE LESSON A Reading from the Word of God written in the First Book of Samuel Chapter 3 beginning at the 1st verse Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision. At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down within the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was. Then the LORD called, "Samuel! Samuel!" and he said, "Here I am!" and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down. And the LORD called again, "Samuel!" And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, my son; lie down again." Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, and the word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli perceived that

!3

the LORD was calling the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, `Speak, LORD, for thy servant hears.'" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. And the LORD came and stood forth, calling as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for thy servant hears."

Reader: ALL:

Here ends the Reading.

Thanks be to God.

PSALM 63: 1-8 Deus, Deus meus.

1.O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; * my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you, as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.

2.Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, * that I might behold your power and your glory.

3.For your loving-kindness is better than life itself;* my lips shall give you praise.

4.So will I bless you as long as I live* and lift up my hands in your name.

5.My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness,* and my mouth praises you with joyful lips, 6.When I remember you upon my bed, * and meditate on you in the night watches.

7.For you have been my helper, * and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.

8.My soul clings to you;* your right hand holds me fast.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son;*and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now:*and shall be forever. Amen.

THE EPISTLE A Reading from the Word of God written in the First Letter to the Corinthians Chapter 6 beginning at the 11th verse.

You were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be enslaved by anything.

"Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food" -- and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh." But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

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.

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me.� Now Philip was from Beth-sa'ida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathan'a-el, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of

!5

Joseph." Nathan'a-el said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathan'a-el coming to him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!" Nathan'a-el said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you." Nathan'a-el answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these." And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man."

The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord.

From the Rector’s Notebook Greetings: As a newly ordained person many years ago I was quite surprised when young people themselves or through their parents would come and ask that they be excused from Mass because of upcoming examinations.

This was most shocking since many of us had completed GCE Ordinary and Advanced Level Certificates while others had completed Bachelor of Arts degrees at UWI Cave Hill, while continuing to show our commitment to Christ by attending the Holy Mass.

Not to mention the fact that there had been Sunday School in the afternoon with an evening walk afterwards followed by Evensong.

Also some of us were rostered to serve at Low Mass, at least one morning per week before we went School, by that time Secondary School.

As a Curate, I knew that many of those with whom I had grown up had gone on to become professionals in the various disciplines, medicine, law, teaching, economics, agricultural science and in my case theology, just to mention a few.

The way in which we understood this was that we had to take the necessary breaks to eat and sleep, therefore we could manage our time in order to be able to fulfill the academic requirements of daily study and research in order to be successful.

One of the Rectors to whom I was assigned suggested that when persons came with such requests it was better to give them the “ok” so that any time the results were less than expected, such persons would not place the blame on the church.

I took that as wise counsel throughout my years as one holding responsibility for parishes, while still encouraging persons to hold the view that it is God who gives us wisdom, understanding and insight to be successful in examinations.

One of the challenges that can easily be noted is that many of those young people who withdraw from the weekly Eucharist, hardly ever get back into the practise of attending mass and tend to drift away from the church as they grow into young adulthood.

We must be able to see that God almighty needs the enthusiasm, strength and vigour of our young people within the Body of Christ in order to bring new ideas and push further along the message of the Kingdom of God. Let us encourage those who have been Confirmed over the past years to make that special effort and commitment to be frequent at Mass and participate actively and wholeheartedly in the wonderful enterprise of christian worship.

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