A Reflection PROCLAMATION! THE SONG OF MARY And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them. He has raised up a mighty savior for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we would be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us. Thus he has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered his holy covenant, the oath that he swore to our ancestor Abraham, to grant us that we, being rescued from the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.” Luke 1:46-55, 68-75, NRSV

HYMN 373 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — This Is the Day the Lord Hath Made This is the day the Lord hath made, its hours to God are known; let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, and praise surround the throne. Today Christ rose and left the dead, and Satan's empire fell; today the saints his triumph spread, and all his wonders tell. Hosanna to the anointed King, to David's holy Son! Help us, O Lord; descend and bring salvation from thy throne. Hosanna in the highest strains the church on earth can raise; the highest heavens in which he reigns shall give him nobler praise.

The Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING Reader
Be seated A reading from the Book of Deuteronomy. See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns away and you do not hear, but are led astray to bow down to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall perish; you shall not live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and holding fast to him; for that means life to you and length of days, so that you may live in the land that the Lord swore to give to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. Deuteronomy 30:15-20

PSALM
A cantor sings the antiphon first; the people repeat it thereafter.
Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor lingered in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seats of the scornful! Their delight is in the law of the Lord, and they meditate on his law day and night. Antiphon They are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; everything they do shall prosper. It is not so with the wicked; they are like chaff which the wind blows away. Antiphon
SOLEMN MASS | 9
Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when judgment comes, nor the sinner in the council of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed. Antiphon Psalm 1
SECOND READING
Reader
A reading from the Letter of Paul to Philemon. Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, To Philemon our dear friend and co-worker, to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church in your house: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. When I remember you in my prayers, I always thank my God because I hear of your love for all the saints and your faith toward the Lord Jesus. I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective when you perceive all the good that we may do for Christ. I have indeed received much joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, my brother. For this reason, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do your duty, yet I would rather appeal to you on the basis of love - and I, Paul, do this as an old man, and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus. I am appealing to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become during my imprisonment. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful both to you and to me. I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you. I wanted to keep him with me, so that he might be of service to me in your place during my imprisonment for the gospel; but I preferred to do nothing without your consent, in order that your good deed might be voluntary and not something forced. Perhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, so that you might have him back forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, a beloved brother especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. So if you consider me your partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it. I say nothing about your owing me even your own self. Yes, brother, let me have this benefit from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in Christ. Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do more than I say. Philemon 1-21

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 Luke. Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Now large crowds were travelling with Jesus; and he turned and said to them, "Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not first sit down and estimate the cost, to see whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it will begin to ridicule him, saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.' Or what king, going out to wage war against another king, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one who comes against him with twenty thousand? If he cannot, then, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for the terms of peace. So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions." Luke 14:25-33

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.

Take up thy cross; let not its weight Fill thy weak spirit with alarm; His strength shall bear thy spirit up, And brace thy heart, and nerve thine arm. Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame, Nor let thy foolish pride rebel; The Lord for thee the Cross endured, To save thy soul from death and hell. Take up thy cross then in his strength, And calmly every danger brave; 'Twill guide thee to a better home, And lead to victory o'er the grave.

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 CLERGY NOTES I love this time of year, it’s still summery out, but there are those odd trees which have already donned their autumnal colours, while the others around them remain green. Oh Canada, how we love to talk about the weather and all things related to it. It makes for easy conversation, unlike other things, like following Jesus. Since coming to Vancouver, I’ve often found that it’s easier to come out as gay than as Christian. We’re an inclusive congregation, we welcome all. Everyone and anyone. In past discussions at parish councils, coffee hour and study groups, many of you have expressed that it is difficult to speak about your faith. So let’s speak about that! Tired of Apologizing for a Church I Don’t Belong To. That’s the book we’ll be discussing this Fall. I hope you’ll consider grabbing a copy and joining the Wednesday night or Thursday morning groups.
As I’ve been reading it, I find myself asking again and again, why are we shy about our Christian identities? Why is it easier to talk about “spirituality” in general terms, than admitting we belong to an organized religion?
Inform. Inspire. Invite.
The above mentioned book addresses these questions simply and with good humour. The dates are in your bulletin. I hope to hear from you with an RSVP that proclaims, “Yes! I’m coming!” for a two- week commitment. Go on, I dare you. See you soon,

BOOK STUDY Tired of Apologizing for a Church I Don’t Belong To, by Lillian Daniel In this book, Daniel argues that it's time for Christians to stop apologizing and realize that how we talk about Christian community matters. With disarming candor laced with just the right amount of humor, Daniel urges open-minded Christians to explore ways to talk about their faith journeys that are reasonable, rigorous, and real! Leah Postman and Mother Lucy will be running a two-week book study on Wednesdays Sept. 18 & Oct. 2 at 6 pm, and on Thursdays Sept. 19 & Oct. 3 at 10:15 am, in order to give everyone interested the opportunity to attend. You need to have read the book to take part. The book is available on line via Amazon (new and used) and also on Kindle. Vancouver Public Library has two copies currently available.

RELATIONSHIPS & FELLOWSHIPS TALK Turnisa Matsedik-Qira: “Teaching people about Uyghur Genocide is the only option for us.” Thur. Oct. 3, at 7 pm Bishops’ Room, free event Satellite images show the rapid expansion of a reeducation camp in Shule county, near Kashgar, China from April 2017 to Aug. 2018. The camp has since doubled in size since. Remarks by Omer Kanat, Director, UN Uyghur Human Rights Project on July 16, 2019: “In 2013, UHRP published a report on religious freedom documenting how the Chinese government has gradually criminalized faith and imposed harsh punishments for observing Ramadan and for parents who gave their children religious instruction. China has now taken the logics of this repression to the limit. The mass internment of one and half, possibly three, million Uyghurs includes repetitive propaganda on the so called “evils” of religion.” Join us to learn more about the situation and show support for our Muslim sisters and brothers.
