A Reflection It is right in all times and in all places to thank and praise you Creator of all. We praise you here where the Fraser River meets the Salish Sea, where city and farm, wilderness and industry are side by side. We praise you at a time when the body of earth is broken again and again.

We give thanks for our place in the story of salvation. Our ancestors journeyed with you in creation and migration. They depended on the land, were displaced from the land and displaced others from their lands. They knew you in tents and cities, on mountains and by wells, in families and in dreams, and through wilderness prophets who spoke of cedars and listened to ravens.

Together with angels and ancestors, orca and salmon, bear and raven, salal and cedar we join our voices with all creation in this ancient honour song: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might Heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

Entrance Rite PRELUDE At the entrance of the servers and clergy all stand.

HYMN 214 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — The Lamb’s High Banquet Called to Share The Lamb's high banquet called to share, arrayed in garments white and fair, the Red Sea past, we long to sing to Jesus our triumphant king.

Upon the altar of the cross, his body hath redeemed our loss; and, tasting of his precious blood, our life is hid with him in God. Protected in the paschal night from the destroying angel's might, in triumph went the ransomed free from Pharaoh's cruel tyranny.

Now Christ our passover is slain, the Lamb of God without a stain; his flesh, the true unleavened bread, is freely offered in our stead.

O all-sufficient sacrifice, beneath thee hell defeated lies; thy captive people are set free, and endless life restored in thee.

6 | HIGH MASS

We hymn thee rising from the grave, from death returning, strong to save; thine own right hand the tyrant chains, and paradise for us regains.

All praise be thine, O risen Lord, from death to endless life restored; all praise to God the Father be and Holy Ghost eternally.

Let us pray.

O God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, make us perfect in every good work to do thy will, and work in us that which is well-pleasing in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.

The Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING Reader

Be seated A reading from the Book of Acts.

The rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem, with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. When they had made the prisoners stand in their midst, they inquired, "By what power or by what name did you do this?" Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, if we are questioned today because of a good deed done to someone who was sick and are asked how this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead. This Jesus is 'the stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone.' There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved."

Acts 4:5-12

Reader All

PSALM

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

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside still waters. Antiphon He revives my soul and guides me along right pathways for his name's sake.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Antiphon You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.

Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Antiphon Psalm 23

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the First Letter of John.

We know love by this, that Jesus laid down his life for us - and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action. And by this we will know that we are from the truth and will reassure our hearts before him whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have boldness before God; and we receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him. And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.

HOLY GOSPEL Deacon People Deacon People

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 John.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father."

16 | HIGH MASS

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 his death hath destroyed death, and by his rising to life again hath restored to us 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: SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS

Stand

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, Heaven and earth are full of thy glory.

Glory be to thee, O Lord most high. + Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

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.” + 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.

Allll

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.

Allll

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.

MOTET My shepherd is the living Lord; nothing therefore I need: In pastures fair, with waters calm; he sets me for to feed.

He did convert and glad my soul, and brought my mind in frame: To walk in paths of righteousness, For his most holy name.

Through all my life thy favour is, so frankly showed to me: That in thy house for ever more my dwelling place shall be.

My Shepherd is the Living Lord — Thomas Tomkins

HYMN

Sit or kneel 282 Green Hymn Book (New English Hymnal) — Faithful Shepherd, Feed Me Faithful Shepherd, feed me in the pastures green; Faithful Shepherd, lead me where thy steps are seen.

Hold me fast, and guide me in the narrow way; so, with thee beside me, I shall never stray.

Daily bring me nearer to the heavenly shore; may thy faith grow clearer, may I love thee more.

Hallow every pleasure, every gift and pain; be thyself my treasure, though none else I gain.

Day by day prepare me as thou seest best, then let angels bear me to thy promised rest.

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY It is good to be back!

After the snow storms in Toronto last week, I was delayed and found myself looking for last minute accommodation in New York. There are definitely worse places to be stranded. New York then received a flood warning and a deluge of rain, and I was reminded of how little control we really have in the grand scheme of things.

discussed global warning and climate change. What can really be done? What difference can the actions of a single person make? And so it flowed on as easily as the beer, while the rain battered the windows and the umbrella stand near the door was gradually swamped.

What difference can we make?

And what have we committed to doing?

“The earth has its music for those who will listen, Its bright variations forever abound; With all the wonders that God has bequeathed us, There is nothing that thrills like the magic of sound.”

When we are baptised, confirmed or renew our baptismal vows as we did at Easter, we are asked: “Will you strive to safeguard the integrity of God's creation, and respect, sustain and renew the life of the Earth?”

George Santayana

We answer: “I will, with God’s help.”

In the city that never sleeps, the idea of listening to the sounds of the earth and what creation might be saying seemed an unreasonable ask, but it turns out that New Yorkers like to talk about the weather as much as us Canadians!

Drying off over a bowl of mac and cheese in a bar near Times Square, I listened as people

What does that look like in our day to day lives as Christians trying to live into the promises we’ve made? How should we teach the infants we baptise about living into this promise and taking seriously the promise to safeguard the earth?

less, buy used instead of new, eat less meat etc. But I find I don’t have a complete answer for that question. What or who are we listening to in order to decide how we interact with creation?

What do you think?

I can rattle off a few suggestions: recycle, consume
