A Reflection “Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee.”

“What art Thou then, my God? what, but the Lord God? For who is Lord but the Lord? or who is God save our God? Most highest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present; most beautiful, yet most strong, stable, yet incomprehensible; unchangeable, yet all-changing; never new, never old; all-renewing, and bringing age upon the proud, and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet nothing lacking; supporting, filling, and overspreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things.”

“Late have I loved you, beauty so old and so new: late have I loved you. And see, you were within and I was in the external world and sought you there, and in my unlovely state I plunged into those lovely created things which you made. You were with me, and I was not with you. The lovely things kept me far from you, though if they did not have their existence in you, they had no existence at all. You called and cried out loud and shattered my deafness. You were radiant and resplendent, you put to flight my blindness. You were fragrant, and I drew in my breath and now pant after you. I tasted you, and I feel but hunger and thirst for you. You touched me, and I am set on fire to attain the peace which is yours.”

Confessions of St Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, North Africa, d 430 Feast Day: 28 August

One family, we dwell in him, One Church, above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death.

One army of the living God, To his command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now.

E'en now to their eternal home There pass some spirits blest, While others to the margin come, Waiting their call to rest.

Jesu, be thou our constant Guide; Then, when the word is given, Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, And bring us safe to heaven.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader

Be seated

A reading from the Book of Joshua.

Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and summoned the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel; and they presented themselves before God. And Joshua said to all the people, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Long ago your ancestors—Terah and his sons Abraham and Nahor—lived beyond the Euphrates and served other gods. ‘Now therefore revere the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods that your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.’ Then the people answered, ‘Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods; for it is the Lord our God who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight. He protected us along all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed; and the Lord drove out before us all the peoples, the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve the Lord, for he is our God.’ Joshua 24:1-2a, 14-18

PSALM

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

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry.

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to root out the remembrance of them from the earth. Antiphon The righteous cry, and the Lord hears them and delivers them from all their troubles.

The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and will save those whose spirits are crushed.

Antiphon HIGH MASS | 9

Many are the troubles of the righteous, but the Lord will deliver him out of them all.

He will keep safe all his bones; not one of them shall be broken. Antiphon Evil shall slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be punished.

The Lord ransoms the life of his servants, and none will be punished who trust in him.

Antiphon Psalm 34:15-22

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the Letter to the Ephesians.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak.

Ephesians 6:10-20

HOLY GOSPEL Deacon Alll Deacon Alll

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.

Jesus said, "Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever." He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum. When many of his disciples heard it, they said, "This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?" But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, "Does this offend you? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But among you there are some who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him. And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father." Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. So Jesus asked the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?"

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." John 6:56-69

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.

497 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — Eternal Ruler of the Ceaseless Round 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.

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.

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.

MOTET The God of love my shepherd is, and he that doth me feed; while he is mine and I am his, what can I want or need?

He leads me to the tender grass, where I both feed and rest; then to the streams that gently pass: in both I have the best.

Or if I stray, he doth convert and bring my mind in frame, and all this not for my desert, but for his holy name.

Surely thy sweet and wondrous love shall measure all my days; and as it never shall remove, so neither shall my praise.

The God of love my shepherd is — Eric Thiman

Thou, Lord, didst make all for Thy pleasure, Didst give us food for all our days, Giving in Christ the Bread eternal; Thine is the pow'r, be Thine the praise.

Watch o'er Thy Church, O Lord, in mercy, Save it from evil, guard it still, Perfect it in Thy love, unite it, Cleansed and conformed unto Thy will.

As grain, once scattered on the hillsides, Was in this broken bread made one, So from all lands Thy Church be gather'd Into Thy kingdom by Thy Son.

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY For the past few weeks the Sunday Mass Lectionary has been giving us the sixth chapter of St. John’s Gospel: the Feeding of the Five Thousand, Jesus walking on the water, “It is I, do not be afraid,” and the extended discourse on Jesus the Bread of Life, the Bread which has come down from heaven to give life to the world.

In our Anglican and Catholic tradition we expect the Eucharist to be celebrated regularly, at least every Sunday, and in churches like St. James’, every day. Churches of a more Protestant and Reformed tradition celebrate this Sacrament much less frequently, monthly or even quarterly.

One might think then that the Eucharist is less valued in the Protestant tradition, but the contrary is true: the Reformed celebrate the Eucharist less often because they hold it in such high honour that it is to be savoured, and the faithful are expected to devote some considerable time and prayer to preparing themselves to receive the Sacrament. In a sense, receiving the Sacrament is in itself the goal, having prayed for grace to prepare

oneself to feed on Jesus in this way. The Free Church of Scotland is the dominant denomination on the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides, where a friend of mine, an Anglican Sister of Charity, has a house of prayer. The Stornoway Communions are held only four times a year, but there are services and prayer meetings on the days leading up to the Sunday, and then in the following days services of thanksgiving.

For those in the Catholic tradition, frequent communion is not the goal, but a means of grace, of growing in holiness, to become more Christ-like. However, a danger for us, certainly for me, is that familiarity may lead us to lack of preparation and selfexamination, which is enjoined upon us by Jesus in the Gospels (Matthew 5.23,24) and by St Paul (1 Corinthians 11.27-29). How do we prepare for Sunday Mass? Do we take time to look back over the week, and examine where we have shone with the light of Christ, and when we have not? Do we take time to give thanks for the gift of Jesus in the Sacrament, praying that we may reflect his light and his love?
