A Reflection GOD HELP US TO FIND OUR CONFESSION God help us to find our confession; The truth within us which is hidden from our mind; The beauty or the ugliness we see elsewhere But never in ourselves; The stowaway which has been smuggled Into the dark side of the heart, Which puts the heart off balance and causes it pain, Which wearies and confuses us, Which tips us in false directions and inclines us to destruction, The load which is not carried squarely Because it is carried in ignorance.

God help us to find our confession.

Help us across the boundary of our understanding.

Lead us into the darkness that we may find what lies concealed; That we may confess it towards the light; That we may carry our truth in the centre of our heart; That we may carry our cross wisely And bring harmony into our life and our world. Amen.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING

Be seated

Reader

A reading from the Book of Isaiah.

Reader Allll

But there will be no gloom for those who were in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness - on them light has shined. You have multiplied the nation, you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as people exult when dividing plunder. For the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian.

Isaiah 9:1-4 The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

PSALM

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

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? Antiphon One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; To behold the fair beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. Antiphon For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe in his shelter; he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling and set me high upon a rock.

Even now he lifts up my head above my enemies round about me. Antiphon 8 | HIGH MASS

Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds of great gladness; I will sing and make music to the Lord. Antiphon Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me.

You speak in my heart and say, "Seek my face." Your face, Lord, will I seek. Antiphon Hide not your face from me, nor turn away your servant in displeasure.

You have been my helper; cast me not away; do not forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Antiphon Psalm 27:1, 5-13

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians.

Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters. What I mean is that each of you says, "I belong to Paul," or "I belong to Apollos," or "I belong to Cephas," or "I belong to Christ." Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one can say that you were baptized in my name. (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power. For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:10-18

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 Matthew.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: "Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles - the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned." From that time Jesus began to proclaim, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea - for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fish for people." Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them.

Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him. Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people.

Matthew 4:12-23

Let us humbly confess our sins to almighty God.

All

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things and judge of all people: We acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness, Which we from time to time most grievously have committed, By thought, word, and deed, Against thy divine majesty.

We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.

Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, Forgive us all that is past; And grant that we may ever hereafter Serve and please thee In newness of life, To the honour and glory of thy name; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Celebrant

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.

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.

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY “Reconciliation has two sides: It is fascinating and terrifying at the same time. It draws us in so that we desire it: within ourselves, with one another, and between our different confessional traditions. We see the price and it scares us. For reconciliation means renouncing our desire for power and recognition. In Christ God graciously reconciles us to himself even though we have turned away from him. God’s action goes beyond even this: God reconciles not only humanity, but the whole of creation to himself.

In the Old Testament God was faithful and merciful to the people of Israel with whom he established a covenant. This covenant remains ‘the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable’ (Rom 11:29). Jesus, who inaugurated the new covenant with his blood, was a son of Israel.

Too often in history our churches have failed to honor this […] all churches are called to bring forth reconciliation in their communities and resist all forms of discrimination, for we are all part of God’s creation.

Inform. Inspire. Invite.

May the wellspring of God’s gracious reconciliation overflow in this year’s Week of Prayer, so that many people may find peace, and so that bridges may be built. May people and churches be compelled by the love of Christ to live reconciled lives and to break down the walls that divide ” http://www.oikoumene.org/en/resources/ documents/commissions/faith-and-order/ xi-week-of-prayer-for-christianunity/2017/2017

RECONCILIATION FEAST 2017 As part of the ongoing mandate to forge a new relationship between the Church and Aboriginal Peoples, in mid-2017 St. James’ Church will hold a Reconciliation Feast, to honour survivors of the Indian Residential Schools. In the spirit of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action, this will be one step in seeking to live out a new and mutual relationship together.

Survivors and parishioners both will be invited to sit at the table together. Two themes will be explored: First and primarily, we will honour the strength, resilience, courage, and dignity of Residential School survivors. Secondly, we will celebrate the upcoming generation of aboriginal leaders who have received their cultural heritage from generations of survivors, and whose own lives now embody and carry these traditions forward.

As far as we know, the event will be the first of its kind in Canada. Our hope is that it will provide one example of what reconciliation can actually look like, for other parishes also seeking to take practical steps forward. And to that end it will be documented by video.

We have applied for funding to a number of sources. The national Church’s Anglican Healing Fund has endorsed the project with a grant towards our costs. Parish members interested in volunteering for this work should contact Pat McSherry or Fr. Matthew for more information.

Your financial contribution is also welcome.

Cheques may be made out to “St James Church” with the words “Reconciliation Feast” on the memo line. This project is made possible through the joint efforts of St. James’ Church and the Street Outreach Initiative.

good) “the Kingdom of God is near!” Jesus picked his first disciples too! Disciples were the people who became Jesus' closest friends and believed in him. He chose two fishermen, Andrew and Peter.

When he saw their fishing nets in the lake, Jesus said “Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.” This means to “catch” people instead, to become friends of Jesus too! So they left their nets and followed him. Everyone saw how Jesus went around Galilee talking about the Kingdom of God, healing the sick and curing people with all sorts of diseases. That must have been pretty amazing to travel with Jesus, watching him perform miracles and hearing his words.

You are invited to the Induction of Father Kevin Hunt

Prayer God, please help us always to follow Jesus in our hearts and minds, to listen to his words and learn how to love you and our neighbour. Amen.
