A Reflection Many years ago – the memory abides – I was felled to the ground at the forest’s edge, Severed from my roots. Enemies seized me, Made of me a mark of scorn for criminals to mount on; Shoulder-high they carried me and set me on a hill.

Many foes made me fast there. Far off then I saw The King of all mankind coming in great haste, With courage keen, eager to climb me.

I did not dare, against my Lord’s dictate, To bow down or break, though I beheld tremble The earth’s four corners. I could easily Have felled his foes; yet fixed and firm I stood.

Then the young Warrior – it was God Almighty – Strong and steadfast, stripped himself for battle; He climbed up on the high gallows, constant in his purpose, Mounted it in sight of many, mankind to ransom.

Horror seized me when the Hero clasped me, But I dared not bow or bend down to earth, Nor falter, nor fall; firm I needs must stand.

I was raised up a Rood, a royal King I bore, The High King of Heaven: through me, the dire wounds still show, Cruel gaping gashed, yet I dared not give as good.

They taunted the two of us; I was wet with teeming blood, Streaming from the Warrior’s side when he sent forth his sprit.

High upon that hill helpless I suffered Long hours of torment; I saw the Lord of Hosts Outstretched in agony; all embracing darkness Covered with thick clouds the corpse of the world’s Ruler; The bright day was darkened by a deep shadow, All its colours clouded; the whole creation wept, Bewailing its King’s fall; Christ was on the Rood.

An now I give you bidding, O man beloved, Reveal this Vision to the children of men, And clearly tell of the Tree of glory Whereon God suffered for man’s many sins And the evil that Adam once wrought of old.

Anonymous, The Dream of the Rood, vv.27-56, 96-100.

The Liturgy of the Word THE OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader

Be seated

A reading from the Book of Numbers.

The people became impatient on the way. The people spoke against God and against Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we detest this miserable food." Then the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord to take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, "Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God. look at it and live." So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.

Numbers 21:4b-9

THE PSALM

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

Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things.

With his right hand and his holy arm has he won for himself the victory. Antiphon 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. 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 Psalm 98:1-2, 4-6 HIGH MASS | 9

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

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

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. For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart." Where is the one who is wise?

Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, God decided, through the foolishness of our proclamation, to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18-24

Sub-deacon Alll

Thanks be to God.

ALLELUIA

THE HOLY GOSPEL

All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels

Jesus said, "No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."

John 3:13-17

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him: have mercy upon you; + pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, for the redemption of the world by the death and passion of our Saviour Christ, both God and Man; who did humble himself, even to death upon the Cross for us sinners, who lay in darkness and the shadow of death; that he might make us the children of God, and exalt us to everlasting life.

THE PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Celebrant

16 | HIGH MASS

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.

Alll

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.

Formation on Sundays

THE OXFORD MOVEMENT The Oxford Movement of the 1830s demanded a rebirth of the life of the English Church. Its principal leaders argued for the historic and apostolic ministry; they emphasized the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist; they promoted social action and deep pastoral concern; they applied their formidable scholarship to translating the Greek and Latin fathers of the church and republishing the great English theologians and divines of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Theirs was, above all, a call to holiness, a call that changed the course of the Church not for a time only; for theirs was a call that we still are hearing and obeying.

BENEDICTINE GROUP MEETINGS The St. James’ Benedictine Group has enjoyed monthly Tuesday evening meetings over the last nine years.

Meetings have included Mass, prayer, spiritual discussions related to the Rule of St. Benedict, pot-luck supper and fellowship.

Over the last year, dwindling attendance led to some cancelled meetings, with the realization that a minimum of 8-10 committed participants are needed to keep monthly group meetings viable.

Any parish member interested in re-starting monthly Benedictine group meetings and willing to commit to attend 8 monthly weekday evening meetings is invited to contact Brian Rocksborough-Smith at brianrs47@gmail.com.

TRUTH & RECONCILIATION COMMISSION (TRC) PUBLIC EVENTS Pick up your copy today of the Schedule of Official Events for each day of the TRC, available in the Narthex (inside entrance area).

This is a reminder that all parishioners are invited to attend the next Parish Council meeting to be held after the 10:15 am mass. This meeting will run from 11:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. As usual, coffee and delicious refreshments will be provided. During this meeting, there will be an important discussion on the Rector's Review.

Please note that a motion from the St. James’ TRC Group 2013 will come before the council to include this sentence in the weekly mass booklet: "We acknowledge our presence on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples."

We look forward to having you join us on September 28th.

Jane Turner OUTREACH SUNDAY: Witness to the World After High Mass on September 29th, we will gather for a pot luck lunch to acknowledge and celebrate the various forms of “outreach” at St. James’. In our parish, we are a “witness to the world” as we reach beyond ourselves, meeting the needs of others in Christian love. Outreach is manifested in many ways - large and small, individually and by groups, locally to internationally and our goal is to recognize and celebrate them in total. A short presentation during lunch will be followed by a “walk-about” to view display tables represented by various individuals and groups who undertake initiatives at or through St. James’. Please bring a dish (potluck system) to share for the pot luck lunch on the 29th. Questions regarding this event can be addressed to Doug Ibbott (doug1a@telus.net) or Kimberly McMillan. We look forward to seeing you then!

PARISH REVIEW (5) The Parish Review focuses on three questions: What are the essentials at St. James' which we commit to maintain? What are we being called to give up? What are we being called to initiate and/ or strengthen?

During our annual Parish leaders' Retreat in early September we upheld in prayer and discussed the draft recommendations from the Review - these have been available to all parishioners since late July. The key findings from the Summer retreat are now available in the Narthex, or from the Office upon request.

At the Parish Council (Sep. 28) all present will have an opportunity to be updated and to offer

feedback in response to the draft recommendations. I will continue to interview leaders through October.

Two days of prayer and fasting, one in October the other around Advent Sunday, will be offered to the Parish as an opportunity for us to commit the Parish Review to the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit.

Any parishioner is welcome to be interviewed - just ask me. Please support our season of Review by: - attending the Parish Council; - praying and reading over the draft recommendations; - participating in the two days of prayer and fasting.

Please speak to me, or any one of the Wardens, Trustees, or Clergy of the Parish for more information and help with participating in our season of Review at St. James'.
