A Reflection THE SONG OF MOSES Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.

The LORD is my strength and my might, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is his name.

“Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods?

Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing wonders?

You stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them.

“In your steadfast love you led the people whom you redeemed; you guided them by your strength to your holy abode.

THE SONG OF MIRIAM Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing. And Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.”

(Exodus 15: 1-3; 11-13; 20-21)

HYMN

124 Green Hymn Book (New English Hymnal) — Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem Ye choirs of new Jerusalem, your sweetest notes employ, the paschal victory to hymn in strains of holy joy.

How Judah's Lion burst his chains, and crushed the serpent's head; and brought with him, from death's domains, the long-imprisoned dead.

From hell’s devouring jaws the prey alone our Leader bore; his ransomed hosts pursue their way where he hath gone before.

Triumphant in his glory now his sceptre ruleth all, earth, heaven, and hell before him bow, and at his footstool fall.

While joyful thus his praise we sing, his mercy we implore, into his palace bright to bring and keep us evermore.

The Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING Reader

Be seated A reading from the Book of Acts.

Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd, "Let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified." Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, "Brothers, what should we do?" Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him." And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.

PSALM

A cantor sings the antiphon first; the people repeat it thereafter.

I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.

The cords of death entangled me; the grip of the grave took hold of me; I came to grief and sorrow.

Then I called upon the name of the Lord: "O Lord, I pray you, save my life." Antiphon How shall I repay the Lord for all the good things he has done for me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. Antiphon I will fulfil my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his servants. Antiphon O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.

I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the name of the Lord.

Antiphon I will fulfil my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! Antiphon Psalm 116:1-3, 10-17

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the First Letter of Peter.

If you invoke as Father the one who judges all people impartially according to their deeds, live in reverent fear during the time of your exile. You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish. He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake. Through him you have come to trust in God, who

10 | HIGH MASS

raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God. Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God. 1 Peter 1:17-23

HOLY GOSPEL Deacon All Deacon All

All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels The Lord be with you.

And with thy spirit.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, "What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?" They stood still, looking sad.

Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?"

He asked them, "What things?" They replied, "The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him.

But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. Moreover, some women of our group HIGH MASS | 11

astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him." Then he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared!

Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?" Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over." So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?"

That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. They were saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!" Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

HYMN

Stand The People sing the hymn while the gifts of bread, wine and money are brought forward.

104 Green Hymn Book (New English Hymnal) — At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing At the Lamb's high feast we sing praise to our victorious King, who hath washed us in the tide flowing from his piercèd side; praise we him, whose love divine gives the guests his blood for wine, gives his body for the feast, Love the victim, Love the priest.

Where the paschal blood is poured, death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go through the wave that drowns the foe.

Christ, the Lamb whose blood was shed, paschal victim, paschal bread; with sincerity and love eat we manna from above.

Mighty victim from on high, powers of hell beneath thee lie; death is broken in the fight, thou hast brought us life and light.

Now thy banner thou dost wave, conquering Satan and the grave.

See the prince of darkness quelled; heaven’s bright gates are open held.

16 | HIGH MASS

Paschal triumph, paschal joy, only sin can this destroy; from sin's death do thou set free souls re-born, dear Lord, in thee.

Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise; risen Lord, all praise to thee, ever with the Spirit be.

SURSUM CORDA & PROPER PREFACE

Stand

It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto thee: O Lord holy, Father almighty, everlasting God: creator and preserver of all things.

But chiefly we are bound to praise thee for the glorious resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the very Paschal Lamb, which was offered for us, and hath taken away the sin of the world; who by death hath destroyed death, and by his rising to life again hath restored us to everlasting life.

Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious name; evermore praising thee and saying: HIGH MASS | 17

SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.

Pleni sunt cæli et terra Gloria tua.

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION

Kneel

All glory be to thee, O Lord our God, who didst make us in thine own image; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made there a full and perfect sacrifice for the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again; who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread; and, when he had given thanks to thee, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” + Likewise, after supper, he took the cup; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many, for the remission of sins: Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.” +

Allll

Allll

Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy people do celebrate and make, with these thy holy gifts which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; and looking for his coming again with power and great glory.

And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us, and, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, to bless and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, that they may be unto us the body and blood of thy dearly-beloved Son Jesus Christ.

We praise thee, we bless thee, we thank thee and we pray to thee, Lord our God. And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, whereby we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake of this holy communion may worthily receive the most precious body and blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, and be filled with thy grace + and heavenly benediction; and also that we and all thy whole Church may be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord; By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end.

Amen.

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY St. James’ is known for its excellent music and our choir dazzled in Holy Week. I hope their music and the praises we sing together are helpful in bringing you closer to God, and leading you deeper into prayer.

You may say, “I can’t really sing,” or “I come for the Eucharist, or the sermon, not to sing.” Why do we sing in church at all? Well, because scripture tells us to. For example Paul writes to the Colossians (3:16): “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.” When we worship in community, there is a nervous temptation to lower our voices during the Psalms and the hymns, thinking that those around us will carry the tune. Perhaps we don’t want the person in the pew in front to hear our efforts. I find that I am able to sing our songs of praise better when the person next to me is

going for it as well, and that as our voices unite, the song is somehow more powerful and tuneful. Have you had that experience?

Our hymns let the words of Christ dwell in us. Our hymns tell the story of what God has done and is doing! Consider one of our hymns for this Sunday: Christ the Lord is Risen Again. It tells the story of Christ’s victory over death and the redemption of all who believe in Him. The Alleluia at the end of each verse, has us singing praises to God with angel’s voices. Our hymns, our praises to God, tell the story of God among us, they proclaim the mystery of faith, who God is and who we are.

So nervous or not, tuneful or flat, take a deep breath and let us sing our hearts out to God. Let all of us take part in St. James’ great tradition of great music and praise.

KID’S CORNER This is the third Sunday of Easter. It's a long story this week and again, another visit from the Risen Christ.

Two guys that were close to Jesus and missing him terribly were walking down the road to a village called Emmaus. They were talking about all the stuff that had just happened with Jesus. A man they did not recognise then appeared and began walking with them. He asked them what they were talking about, and they were amazed that he had not heard any of this. So they told him the whole story about Jesus! The two men then asked the man to come with them and have dinner and chat.

He went with them, and before dinner as they were sitting down, he gave thanks and broke the bread. At that very moment the two men realized that this stranger was actually Jesus himself! But then he disappeared and left them on their own.

They were so excited that they went all the way back to Jerusalem to tell the other eleven what they had seen.
