A Reflection Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me understanding according to your word. Let my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your promise. My lips will pour forth praise, because you teach me your statutes. My tongue will sing of your promise, for all your commandments are right. Let your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts. I long for your salvation, O Lord, and your law is my delight. Let me live that I may praise you, and let your ordinances help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek out your servant, for I do not forget your commandments. Psalm 119:169-176

HYMN 322 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name All hail the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall; bring forth the royal diadem and crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all. Hail him, the heir of David's line, whom David Lord did call, the God incarnate, life divine, and crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all.

The Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING Reader
Be seated A reading from the Book of Acts. While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, for they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter said, "Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?" So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for several days. Acts 10:44-48
Reader All

PSALM
A cantor sings the antiphon first; all repeat it thereafter.
Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvellous things. With his right hand and his holy arm has he won for himself the victory. Antiphon The Lord has made known his victory; his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the nations. He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel, and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. Antiphon Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing. Sing to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the voice of song. Antiphon
With trumpets and the sound of the horn shout with joy before the King, the Lord. Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, the lands and those who dwell therein. Antiphon Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the hills ring out with joy before the Lord, when he comes to judge the earth. In righteousness shall he judge the world and the peoples with equity. Antiphon Psalm 98
EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon
A reading from the First Letter of John. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth. 1 John 5:1-6

Alleluia. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world and go to the Father. Alleluia. I have chosen you out of the world: that ye should go and bring fruit, and that your fruit should remain. Alleluia. Surrexit Christus (Mode V)
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 John. Glory be to thee, O Lord. Jesus said, "As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another." John 15:9-17

After each petition this response is said: Let us pray to the Lord. Hear us, Lord of Glory! After the petition for the departed: + Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord. And may light perpetual shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
PEACE
Stand
The ministers and people may greet one another in the name of the Lord in the customary way. (You may choose not to shake hands at the Peace. A simple exchange of “Peace be with you� with eye contact and a nod, or a bow, is a good substitute.)

Bless the Lord our God, all you peoples, and make the voice of his praise to be heard, who holds our souls in life and will not allow our feet to slip. Blessed be the Lord, for he has not rejected my prayer, nor withheld his love from me, alleluia. Benedicite gentes (Mode II)

HYMN
Stand The People sing the hymn while the People’s gifts of bread, wine and money are brought forward. 412 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — O God, Beyond All Face and Form O God, beyond all face and form, you willed it that creation’s night should blaze, and chaos still its storm, and birth a universal light. All things below, all things above are formed of your eternal love. The glory of the galaxies, the beauty of a baby’s hand, the thundering of the restless seas, the glory of the forest’s stand— all things below, all things above are formed of your eternal love. You gave our race both form and name, and love for us was your intent; then to a woman’s womb love came, and on a cross was wholly spent. All things below, all things above are formed of this incarnate love. Of this great love all loves are born, of self, of neighbour, and of earth. By love shall night be turned to morn, and death shall never conquer birth. All things below, all things above are formed of God’s eternal love.

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:

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. 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. HIGH MASS | 19

26 | THE LITURGY
The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY I have found myself dwelling on our Pilgrim formation series and this week’s Session 3: Do you believe in his Son Jesus Christ? At our baptism and confirmation, we affirm, “Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ, Yes I turn to Christ!” But who is this Jesus?
I sometimes explain Jesus as being like The Simpsons cartoon series. Like the Simpsons, Jesus is accessible on multiple levels. When I watch the cartoon with the youngsters in my life, I love to hear them giggle as Bart plays a prank, Homer says: “Doh!” or Crusty the Clown makes yet another faux pas. Conversely, I find humour and meaning in this cartoon the children can’t see. Our difference in life experience and maturity allows us to access the story, the lessons and the laughs at different levels, meaning that we can enjoy it together, but each of us at our own level. For me, this is the genius of the show The Simpsons. Jesus too is accessible through his humanity, and as a teacher and story teller. For example the story of the Lost Sheep in Matthew 18:12-14 might speak to me
about the abundance of God’s grace and the beauty of being restored to Jesus’ flock even if I go astray. I might find comfort and safety in knowing that Jesus will always look for me and come to the places where I feel lost.
Inform. Inspire. Invite.
Conversely, a four or five year old may hear the story and learn that Jesus loves them and will look for them. They may see the sheep as cuddly, and the shepherd as one who cares for others, is gentle and leaves no one out. From this they might learn to include everyone and know that they are loved. Revisiting our baptismal vows or looking at them for the first time is important because like watching a multilayered cartoon show, as we grow we meet Jesus differently each time we hear His teaching, and take part in His story. The beauty of each of these encounters, each of these layers of revelation and understanding, is that we get to keep saying “Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ!”
