THE FIRST READING: READER:

A Reading from the Word of God written in the Book of the Prophet Haggai Chapter 1 beginning at the 5th verse.

In the second year of King Darius, in the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by the prophet Haggai, saying: Speak now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, and say, Who is left among you that saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Is it not in your sight as nothing? Yet now take courage, O Zerubbabel, says the LORD; take courage, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; take courage, all you people of the land, says the LORD; work, for I am with you, says the LORD of hosts, according to the promise that I made you when you came out of Egypt. My spirit abides among you; do not fear. For thus says the LORD of hosts: Once again, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land; and I will shake all the nations, so that the treasure of all nations shall come, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, says the LORD of hosts. The latter splendor of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts; 3

and in this place I will give prosperity, says the LORD of hosts.

Reader: ALL:

Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.

Psalm 145: 1-5, 18-22 Exaltabo te, Deus 1 I will exalt you, O God my King, * and bless your Name for ever and ever.

2 Every day will I bless you * and praise your Name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; * there is no end to his greatness.

4 One generation shall praise your works to another *and shall declare your power.

5 I will ponder the glorious splendor of your majesty *and all your marvelous works.

18 The Lord is righteous in all his ways *and loving in all his works.

19 The Lord is near to those who call upon him, * to all who call upon him faithfully.

20 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; * he hears their cry and helps them.

21 The Lord preserves all those who love him, * but he destroys all the wicked.

22 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; * let all flesh bless his holy Name for ever and ever.

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

Amen 4

THE EPISTLE READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in Paul’s 2nd letter to the Thessalonians Chapter 2 beginning at the 1st verse.

As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you? But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth. For this purpose he called you through our proclamation of the good news, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.

Reader: Here ends the Reading ALL: Thanks be to God

THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

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

Some Sadducees, those who say there is no resurrection, came to him and asked him a question, "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up children for his brother.

Now there were seven brothers; the first married, and died childless; then the second and the third married her, and so in the same way all seven died childless.

Finally the woman also died. In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had married her.� Jesus said to them, "Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage; but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. Indeed they cannot die anymore, because they are like angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection. And the fact that the dead are raised Moses himself showed, in the story about the bush, where he speaks of the Lord as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Now he is God not of the dead, but of the living; for to him all of them are alive."

The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord 6

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY The red poppy has become a popular symbol of the observance of Remembrance Day. It is the flower that Canadian soldier John McCrae described in his poem "In Flanders Fields".

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

From the Rector’s Notebook Greetings: The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

Albert Einstein As human beings we often put each other and this old world in which we live through tremendous pain and suffering.

When we read sacred scripture no less we take note of the hardship of the journey of a people through time and history. A journey made even more difficult because of various attacks both from within and outside of the various tribes.

Across the history of the world we have often found ourselves at war. We often tell ourselves that we enter into a war to ensure that the prevailing situation after the war will be far better than that which obtained prior.

We always have to lift before God those who are placed in harm’s way in order to protect the innocent and those who do not have the capacity to defend themselves.

It is in that light that we observe today as Remembrance Sunday - the Sunday closest to November 11. We pause on the 11th Hour, of the 11th Day, of the 11th Month to remember the fallen; those who gave their lives as the price for freedom.

Fielding Freed, says that in November 1918, when the guns fell silent in Europe and World War I 8

ended (1914-1918) , the level of destruction and human suffering was so vast it is difficult for us, 100 years on, to comprehend.

Tw e n t y y e a r s l a t e r c a m e W o r l d W a r I I (1939-1945). Historians tell us that this was caused by economic and political issues left unresolved from the previous war.

Since then there are have been many other wars and various battles that account for tremendous loss of property, ancient artifacts, limb and life.

We in the world have still not learnt how to live in peace. Tyrants of one kind or another, with their lust for power and money seek to dominate people through ruthless means.

Ours is the duty to see the vision of the 8th century BC prophet Isaiah come to fulfillment they shall beat their swords into plough shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

Isaiah 2: 4 Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector

At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Robert Laurence Binyon (1869-1943) 9

HEALTH CORNER

By Sophia Marshall, PH.D Over the years, Barbados has been dubbed the 'Amputation Capital of the World'.

Approximately 300 diabetes-related amputations are performed annually in Barbados. Therefore ranking the island with one of the highest rates of amputations of the world.

Many complications can develop as diabetes progresses; one of which is peripheral neuropathy which impairs the diabetic's ability to feel pressure or temperature in their feet.

Unfortunately this increases the chance of developing sores on the feet. Furthermore poor circulation can decrease the healing process of such sores, with amputations being the end result, particularly if treatment is delayed. Proper foot care is critical for diabetics. Here are a few tips to help you: ➢ Wash feet daily with warm water ➢ Check feet daily for sores, blisters, redness, or calluses ➢ If skin is dry, use lotions (not between toes) ➢ Smooth calluses and corns gently with a pumice stone ➢ Cut toenails about once per week ➢ Wear shoes and socks-- be sure footwear fits properly ➢ Protect feet from hot and cold ➢ Keep blood flowing to feet: put them up when sitting
