A Reflection MARY MAGDALENE: A SONNET Men called you light so as to load you down, And burden you with their own weight of sin, A woman forced to cover and contain Those seven devils sent by Everyman.

But one man set you free and took your part One man knew and loved you to the core The broken alabaster of your heart Revealed to Him alone a hidden door, Into a garden where the fountain sealed, Could flow at last for him in healing tears, Till, in another garden, he revealed The perfect Love that cast out all your fears, And quickened you with love’s own sway and swing, As light and lovely as the news you bring.

HYMN 362 Green Hymn Book (New English Hymnal) —Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode.

On the rock of ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose?

With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may’st smile at all thy foes.

See! The streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove.

Who can faint, when such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage?

Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age.

Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name.

Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show: solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING

Be seated

Reader

A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.

Reader Allll

The word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch: You said, "Woe is me! The Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest." Thus you shall say to him, "Thus says the Lord: I am going to break down what I have built, and pluck up what I have planted - that is, the whole land. And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for I am going to bring disaster upon all flesh, says the Lord; but I will give you your life as a prize of war in every place to which you may go."

Jeremiah 45:1-5 The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

PSALM

A cantor sings the antiphon first; all repeat it thereafter All your works praise you, O Lord, and your faithful servants bless you.

They make known the glory of your kingdom and speak of your power; That the peoples may know of your power and the glorious splendour of your kingdom. Antiphon Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; your dominion endures throughout all ages.

The Lord is faithful in all his words and merciful in all his deeds.

The Lord upholds all those who fall; he lifts up those who are bowed down. Antiphon The eyes of all wait upon you, O Lord, and you give them their food in due season.

You open wide your hand and satisfy the needs of every living creature. Antiphon The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving in all his works.

The Lord is near to those who call upon him, to all who call upon him faithfully. Antiphon Psalm 145:10-19 HIGH MASS | 9

EPISTLE READING Reader

A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians.

I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 3:14-21

HOLY GOSPEL Deacon Allll Deacon Allll

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.

After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?" He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Six months' wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little." One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?"

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost." So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, "This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world." When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself. When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified. But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.

Today we gather on the traditional and unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-waututh Nations to ask God’s blessing on the marriage of Christopher and Barbara.

THE EXCHANGE OF THE PEACE Priest All

The peace of the Lord be always with you.

And also with you.

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.)

HYMN

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

645 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — Come Down, O Love Divine Come down, O Love divine, seek thou this soul of mine, and visit it with thine own ardour glowing; O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear, and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.

O let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes in its heat consuming; and let thy glorious light shine ever on my sight, and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

Let holy charity mine outward vesture be, and lowliness become mine inner clothing; true lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part, and o’er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.

HIGH MASS | 15

And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long, shall far outpass the power of human telling; for none can guess its grace, till they become the place wherein the Holy Spirit finds a dwelling.

SURSUM CORDA & PROPER PREFACE

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.

Who by water and the Holy Spirit hast made us a holy people in Jesus Christ our Lord; thou dost renew that mystery in bread and wine and nourish us, to show forth thy glory in all the world.

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 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 Don’t you just hate it when you’re too hot and feeling crabby and someone tells you to chill out!?

Chill out!? Chill out!? You must be joking! It’s like when you’re stressed about something and someone says, calm down… seriously!

I sometimes wonder if that’s how Mary Magdalene felt after she realized Jesus was not the gardener on that first Easter morning. “Why are you crying?

Who are you looking for?” Are you serious!?

Since the feast of Mary Magdalene on the 22nd (transferred here at St. James’ to the Tuesday), I’ve been thinking a lot about her. To me, she seems to have been the perfect example of true faith and transformation into a missional disciple of Christ.

Jesus drives out her demons and frees her to follow him, which she does. She is there at the cross. She sees her saviour, teacher and friend whom she loves brutally murdered and then seeks to tend to his body, caring for him in death

after the twelve have fled. Then on discovering his body is missing, she cannot leave. In her grief she stays near the tomb weeping and after all she’s been through, Jesus asks, “Why are you weeping?”

After all this, Mary is the first to be sent out. The apostle to the Apostles. Only she who has been faithful to the end and beyond was fit to be the first to declare “I have seen the Lord!”

I know for myself when I am grieving the death of someone I love, I find myself stuck in that garden where Mary thought Jesus was the gardener. Eyes puffy with tears, lost and not knowing which way to turn. Why didn’t she recognize him? There are lots of theories about that, but I think in our simple human way of grieving, it can be hard to see the joy and beauty of the resurrection when grief has hold of us. It can blind us to what is, and that’s OK. The truth is that as Mary was the first to witness the resurrection and carry the good news of Jesus Christ risen, Jesus was the first to

RECTORY RENOVATION: UPDATE The work on the Rectory commenced in June. The interior demolition is now complete and the rebuilding of the interior space has begun. The Project Manager, Nancy Holme, along with Scott Construction is pleased with the work to date.

They have identified some minor anomalies but quickly found solutions which will better suit the use of the kitchen in particular. The Renovation Committee endorsed these minor changes. With the removal of the walls of the original cloakroom, the foyer space is much larger and brighter and will create a welcoming entrance for the community.

To date there has been no interruption to church activities. We thank Nancy Holme and Scott Construction for their efficient and careful work.
