A Reflection ST PETER PRAISED be St Peter, the glorified of God, chief, O Christ, of thine apostles, fisherman of souls, martyr of the Faith, brother of ours: whom out of weakness, thou madest a rock and on it built thy Church. If ever I would deny thee, Lord, grant me his prayers. When I have denied thee, O Lord, grant me his tears. Grant me, with him, to know that I love thee. Grant me his call, to feed thy sheep. Grant me his courage, even to rejoice in suffering shame or pain for thy sake. Grant me in the end his glory, thy crowning. St Peter, Christ’s Rock, pray for me, in the days of my discipleship, in the house of my faith, in the hour of my death. My God my Glory, Eric Milner-White: SPCK, 1967

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader
Be seated
A reading from the Book of Isaiah. Listen to me, you that pursue righteousness, you that seek the Lord. Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, but I blessed him and made him many. For the Lord will comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places, and will make her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song.
Reader Allll
Listen to me, my people, and give heed to me, my nation; for a teaching will go out from me, and my justice for a light to the peoples. I will bring near my deliverance swiftly, my salvation has gone out and my arms will rule the peoples; the coastlands wait for me, and for my arm they hope. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and those who live on it will die like gnats; but my salvation will be for ever, and my deliverance will never be ended. Isaiah 51:1-6 The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
PSALM
A cantor sings the antiphon first; all repeat it thereafter.
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing your praise. I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your name, because of your love and faithfulness; For you have glorified your name and your word above all things. Antiphon
HIGH MASS | 9
When I called, you answered me; you increased my strength within me. All the kings of the earth will praise you, O Lord, when they have heard the words of your mouth. They will sing of the ways of the Lord, that great is the glory of the Lord. Antiphon Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly; he perceives the haughty from afar. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe; you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me. The Lord will make good his purpose for me; O Lord, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands. Antiphon Psalm 138
EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon
A reading from the Letter to the Romans
Sub-deacon Allll
I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgement, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. Romans 12:1-8 The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

HOLY GOSPEL

Deacon Allll Deacon Allll
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.
Deacon Allll
Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is?’ And they said, ‘Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’ He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’ And Jesus answered him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.’ Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. Matthew 16:13-20 The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ.

Let us humbly confess our sins to almighty God.

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.
Celebrant
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.

HYMN

Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round Of circling planets singing on their way; Guide of the nations from the night profound Into the glory of the perfect day; Rule in our hearts, that we may ever be Guided and strengthened and upheld by thee. We are of thee, the children of thy love, Companions of thy well-beloved Son; Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove, Into our hearts, that we may be as one: As one with thee, to whom we ever tend; As one with him, our pattern and our friend. We would be one in hatred of all wrong, One in our love of all things sweet and fair, One with the joy that rises into song, One with the grief that finds no voice in prayer, One in the power that makes thy children free To follow truth, and thus to follow thee.

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 “In our liturgical kalendar tomorrow, 28 August, we shall commemorate St Augustine, Bishop of Hippo in North Africa, who died in 430AD, and had today not been Sunday we should be remembering St Monica, his mother, who died in 387AD. St Augustine, not to be confused with the later saint of the same name who was sent by Pope Gregory to reconvert England, became one of the most significant and influential theologians of the Western Church, in his own time, through the medieval and reformation eras, and into the present day. Many of his writings are extant and widely read, particularly his City of God and his spiritual biography, his Confessions. Scholars dispute his theology still, but I want to focus briefly on his journey to faith and his sense of ongoing conversion.
Monica, his mother, was Christian, his father pagan. His parents’ relationship was strained: Monica wanted to have her children baptized, but her husband refused. Nonetheless she taught Augustine the tenets
of the Christian faith and its values. Most importantly she never ceased to pray for his conversion. How hard she needed to pray! Augustine outlines in his Confessions both his exploring of pagan and heretical philosophies, and his hedonistic and profligate lifestyle. Eventually at the age of 31, influenced by the example and prayers of his mother and by his conversations with another great Teacher of the Faith, St Ambrose of Milan, Augustine was baptized. His writings reveal that as he developed and matured in his Christian faith he was always aware of his need for continuing conversion to walk more faithfully in the way of Christ. Monica encourages us, I think, to persist in prayer for our families and loved ones, that by grace they may come to see in and through us, and sometimes despite us, a glimpse of the love of God in and for them. And Augustine reminds us that none of us is perfect yet, that there is still much work for grace to perform within us to mould us more and more into the likeness

The ‘end’ of the formation is life in the Spirit, which is lived by the individual and the community in a reciprocal sharing of grace, and which equips the Christian community to share the fullness of life with the world through Christian mission.” (Dr. Brad Pickens, Spiritual Formation Retreat Designer, 2017) Pilot Weekend #1: October 13 to 15, 2017 Camp Elphinstone, Gibsons, BC “the target audience is a younger demographic” (that is below the age of 40) This subsidized two-night retreat includes all meals/snacks/materials. The facilities are modern cabins that include a common lounge, private showers and rooms with bunk beds that will sleep two per room. Each participant is asked to contribute $30 towards the cost.
