THE COLLECT Lord God of nations, you have revealed your will to all people and promised us your saving help. May we hear and do what you command, that the darkness may be overcome by the power of your light; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen. THE FIRST READING: READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in the first book of Kings Chapter 18 beginning at the 20th verse.
So Ahab sent to all the Israelites, and assembled the prophets at Mount Carmel. Elijah then came near to all the people, and said, "How long will you go limping with two different opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him." The people did not answer him a word. Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come closer to me"; and all the people came closer to him. First he repaired the altar of the LORD that had been thrown down; Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, "Israel shall be your name�; with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD. Then he made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain two measures of seed. Next he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, "Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.� Then he said, "Do it a second time"; and they did it a second time. Again he said, "Do it a third time"; and they did it a third time, so that the water ran all around the altar, and filled the trench also with water. At the time
!3
of the offering of the oblation, the prophet Elijah came near and said, "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your bidding. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so that this people may know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.� Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and even licked up the water that was in the trench. When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, "The LORD indeed is God; the LORD indeed is God." Reader: ALL: PSALM 96
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God. Cantate Domino
1. Sing to the LORD a new song; * sing to the LORD, all the whole earth. 2. Sing to the LORD and bless his Name; * proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day. 3. Declare his glory among the nations * and his wonders among all peoples. 4. For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; * he is more to be feared than all gods. 5. As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; * but it is the LORD who made the heavens. 6. Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! * Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary! 7. Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples; * ascribe to the LORD honor and power. 8. Ascribe to the LORD the honor due his Name; * bring offerings and come into his courts. 9. Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth tremble before him.
!4
10. Tell it out among the nations: "The LORD is King! * he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity." 11. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea thunder and all that is in it; * let the field be joyful and all that is therein. 12. Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the LORD when he comes, * when he comes to judge the earth. 13. He will judge the world with righteousness * and the peoples with his truth. V. Glory to the Father, and to the Son;*and to the Holy Spirit; R. As it was in the beginning is now:*and shall be forever. Amen
THE EPISTLE READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in the letter of Paul to the Galatians Chapter 1 beginning at the 1st verse. Paul an apostle--sent neither by human commission nor from human authorities, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— and all the members of God's family who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to set us free from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed! As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed! Am I now seeking human approval, or God's approval? Or am I trying
!5
to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ. For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin; for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 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 Luke Glory to Christ our Saviour. After Jesus had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave whom he valued highly, and who was ill and close to death. When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy of having you do this for him, for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.� And Jesus went with them, but when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word, and let my servant be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this,' and the slave does it.� When Jesus heard this he was !6
amazed at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, he said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health. The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord. From the Rector’s Notebook Greetings: Within the liturgical year we have celebrated the mighty events of the Paschal Mystery, Jesus’ crucifixion, resurrection, ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit. We have used the dramatic effect of liturgical colour, purple during the season of Lent, white/gold during Easter and red for the Day of Pentecost. As we come into the season of Pentecost the dominant color will be green. The season of Pentecost is the longest season of the church’s year. It will take us down to the season of Advent at the end of the month of November. In between there will be some observances that will take precedence over the ordering of the sequence of Sunday readings and collects for Pentecost; but these will be very few. The celebration of All Saints Day on the Sunday closest to November 1st is a good example of this. During the season of Pentecost we will note that the Gospel readings will reflect the teachings of Jesus and the miracle stories that have been recorded for us by the evangelists.
!7
These teachings are to help our understanding of who Jesus is, that the one who was born in Bethlehem, suffered, died, was buried, rose again and ascended to Heaven and remains among us as Holy Spirit is the very same who was God and man. Though Jesus of Nazareth is not known to have written any lasting document the memory of his life and teachings have been set out for us in the Gospels. These scared writings reflect the one who died for our sins, as being simple and humble. We see him as one who had a tremendous love for all the human race and for our physical, mental and spiritual health. He gave the assurance that we can refer to God almighty as “Father” as in the Lord’s Prayer, that that God cares for us so deeply that the very hairs of our heads are numbered and known by God. The season of Pentecost is a time when we concentrate on our spiritual growth by contemplating then the words and works of Christ. Let us all make a commitment to daily prayer, bible reading and attendance at Mass, in order that we may grow confident in our knowledge of scripture May God’s Holy Spirit guide us so that our journey through this season may be joyful and uplifting. Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA (The Rev’d Canon) Rector

A TASTE OF SUMMER “TWICE AS NICE”

HEALTH CORNER BY: DR. SOPHIA MARSHALL
It’s almost summer and we are looking forward to visiting friends and family overseas or entertaining them during their visit to Barbados. Of course, you intend to look your best and have already started an exercise routine in order to shed a few pounds or just to tone up. Well, if you haven’t already, add the Plank exercise to your routine. This exercise is one of the best exercises for core conditioning but it also strengthens your glutes and hamstrings, supports proper posture, and improves balance. By strengthening the core, the Plank in essence assists in reducing lower back pain. Below are the basic steps for performing a plank, from the American Council on Exercise: 1.
Hold your elbows directly under your shoulders and place your wrists in line with your elbows.
2.
Push your body up into your upper back and hold your chin close to your neck (like you’re holding an egg between your chin and your throat).
3.
In this position, brace your abdominals—contract them like expecting a punch in your stomach, squeeze your gluteal (tailbone) and thigh muscles simultaneously while continuing to breathe normally.
4.
Hold a plank at least 20 to 30 seconds. (When using correct form, it is not necessary to hold it for longer than this amount of time.) Rest for approximately one minute and repeat three to five more times.
5.
Start doing the plank using your elbows and toes (feel free to drop to your knees if necessary) and progress up to a high plank when you feel you have developed the necessary strength.
