THE FIRST READING: READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in the Book of Job Chapter 38 beginning at the 1st verse. Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind: "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me."Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements--surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy? Reader: ALL:

THE EPISTLE READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in the letter to the Hebrews Chapter 5 beginning at the 1st verse
Every high priest chosen from among mortals is put in charge of things pertaining to God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is subject to weakness; and because of this he must offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. And one does not presume to take this honor, but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you�; as he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.� In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God. !4
THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you. And also with you. A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark Glory to Christ our Saviour. James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came forward to him and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.” And he said to them, "What is it you want me to do for you?" And they said to him, "Grant us to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.” But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They replied, "We are able." Then Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.” When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. So Jesus called them and said to them, "You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many." The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord !5
From the Rector's Notebook Greetings I was recently asked, (in my position as Chairman of the Barbados Christian Council) by a senior journalist from one of our major media houses about the church’s response to young people involved in violence in our society. This is a reasonable query raising a concern of many in society especially as violence raises its ugly head from time to time. From the beginning of time human beings have had disagreements and differences of opinion and outlook. As human beings we have manifested various responses to disappointment, frustration and stress. This is clearly seen in the Holy Bible where even in its first book there is evidence that the human enterprise would be fraught with danger. There is the disobedience of early human race in the Adam and Eve story (Genesis 3:1-15). Soon after being expelled from the Garden of Eden they have two sons Cain and Abel. (Genesis 4:1-2) Cain would become jealous and fiercely angry with Abel his brother and killed him. (Genesis 4:8) Despite what seems like a violent tendency and temperament within his human creation God still would not give up on us. God’s tremendous and unconditional love causes him time after time to seek to lift us out of this morass to the point where he comes among us !6
himself as the Christ - the Anointed one. (John 1:14) Remarkably in his experiment and experience with humanity, YAHWEH always uses family and community. He comes into the home of St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary and they settle in the city of Nazareth. (Matthew 2:19-23) God sees in family a powerful structure where persons can be formed and shaped in loving and caring individuals. If we as members of church are to offer a meaningful and effective ministry that has social and environmental impact we must ensure that we are able to assist all families especially those that are in need of help. The church’s primary mission is outlined in scripture- we are to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God. Our task is to seek to so transform our world that it truly reflects that Kingdom here on earth. This is not an easy task but it is ours to fulfill. In our vocations as Christian parents and guardians we must use every opportunity to help to build charity, love and respect in our young people. I shall continue this next week, God willing. Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev'd Canon) Rector

HEALTH CORNER By SOPHIA MARSHALL, Ph.d
Unforgettable She is a mother that can only think about the welfare of her children. She is a wife who wonders if her husband will still love her. She is a daughter horrified of the thought of breaking the news to her aging parents. She is a sister, a soul mate, the best girl you know. She is a friend; a real bosom buddie. She is a neighbor who now needs a friend. She is an executive who has lost her control. She is an employee who wonders how she will keep her job, pay her bills, take care of her child, while trying to recover. She is a patient who fears losing her life. She is a doctor who must now save her own life. She is a beauty who now save her own life. She is a beauty who now feels like a beast. She is a beast who never did feel beautiful. She is famous and now wishes she wasn’t. She is a stranger who you can’t see, but she can see you. She is a person whom you have yet to meet. She is you, she is me, She is…….unforgettable - Christina Carlino !8
