A Reflection THE MERTON PRAYER My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.

I do not see the road ahead of me.

I cannot know for certain where it will end. nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.

And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.

I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.

And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Amen.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader

Be seated

A reading from the Book of Wisdom.

But the ungodly by their words and deeds summoned death; considering him a friend, they pined away and made a covenant with him, because they are fit to belong to his company. For they reasoned unsoundly, saying to themselves, Short and sorrowful is our life, and there is no remedy when a life comes to its end, and no one has been known to return from Hades. ‘Let us lie in wait for the righteous man, because he is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions; he reproaches us for sins against the law, and accuses us of sins against our training. He professes to have knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. He became to us a reproof of our thoughts; the very sight of him is a burden to us, because his manner of life is unlike that of others, and his ways are strange. We are considered by him as something base, and he avoids our ways as unclean; he calls the last end of the righteous happy, and boasts that God is his father.

Let us see if his words are true, and let us test what will happen at the end of his life; for if the righteous man is God’s child, he will help him, and will deliver him from the hand of his adversaries. Let us test him with insult and torture, so that we may find out how gentle he is, and make trial of his forbearance. Let us condemn him to a shameful death, for, according to what he says, he will be protected.’ Thus they reasoned, but they were led astray, for their wickedness blinded them, and they did not know the secret purposes of God, nor hoped for the wages of holiness, nor discerned the prize for blameless souls.

PSALM

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

Save me, O God, by your name; in your might, defend my cause.

Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. Antiphon For the arrogant have risen up against me, and the ruthless have sought my life, those who have no regard for God. Behold, God is my helper; it is the Lord who sustains my life.

Render evil to those who spy on me; in your faithfulness, destroy them. Antiphon I will offer you a freewill sacrifice and praise your name, O Lord, for it is good.

For you have rescued me from every trouble, and my eye has seen the ruin of my foes.

Antiphon Psalm 54

EPISTLE READING Reader

A reading from the Letter of James.

Reader All

Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be boastful and false to the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish. For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace. Those conflicts and disputes among you, where do they come from? Do they not come from your cravings that are at war within you? You want something and do not have it; so you commit murder. And you covet something and cannot obtain it; so you engage in disputes and conflicts. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, in order to spend what you get on your pleasures. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.

James 3:13-4:3, 7-8A The word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

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 Mark Glory be to thee, O Lord.

They went on from there and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know it; for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again." But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him. Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?" But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all." Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me."

Loving Creator, we are sorry for the times when we have used your gifts carelessly, and acted ungratefully. Father, in your mercy: Forgive us and help us.

We enjoy the fruits of the harvest, but sometimes forget that you have given them to us. Father, in your mercy: Forgive us and help us.

Stand

HIGH MASS | 17

It is right in all times and in all places to thank and praise you Creator of all.

We praise you here where the Fraser River meets the Salish Sea, where city and farm, wilderness and industry are side by side.

We praise you at a time when the body of earth is broken again and again.

We give thanks for our place in the story of salvation.

Our ancestors journeyed with you in creation and migration.

They depended on the land, were displaced from the land and displaced others from their lands.

They knew you in tents and cities, on mountains and by wells, in families and in dreams, and through wilderness prophets who spoke of cedars and listened to ravens.

Together with angels and ancestors, orca and salmon, bear and raven, salal and cedar we join our voices with all creation in this ancient honour song:

SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.

Pleni sunt cĂŚli et terra Gloria tua.

Hosanna in excelsis. + Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini: Hosanna in excelsis.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, Heaven and earth are full of thy glory.

Glory be to thee, O Lord most high. + Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Celebrant

Kneel

We give thanks to you for Jesus, whose first bed was a feed trough.

He was baptized in the Jordan, tested in the wilderness; he traveled in fishing boats and told parables of farmers and seeds, labor and wages, yeast and bread.

On the night before he died, Jesus took bread, food of the poor, the work of field and hearth, he gave thanks, broke it and gave it to his friends saying: Take and eat, this is my body, given for you, do this to remember me.+ Again after supper he took the cup of wine, fruit of the land, gave thanks and gave it to his friends saying: This is my blood, which is shed for you. When you do this, do it in memory of me.+ Remembering Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and awaiting his coming kingdom, we offer you this bread and this cup.

Creator, send your Spirit on these gifts so that we may know Jesus in them and be gathered together with everyone who shares this sacred meal of justice and community.

Fill us with the courage and love of Jesus, that we may strive for justice and peace, respect the dignity of every human being, and safeguard the integrity of creation.

Bring us with all your saints to your commonwealth of sparrow and lily, child and beggar which is both now and yet to come in Jesus Christ our Brother.

By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory be yours, Loving Creator, world without end. Amen.

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY This week on Tuesday I walked to work. It is five and a half kilometres and I was energized and extremely proud of myself.

However, they do say pride comes before a fall. Wednesday, I was a little sore!

Why not take the bus? Well there are a few reasons for that, one of them being that it was a gorgeous day, at some point it will begin raining, and we won’t see the sun until late May of next year if we’re lucky! The main reason however, is that I have begun walking to see just how far I can walk in a day and how it feels, both physically and spiritually.

Next year after Easter I will be heading to Spain to walk the Camino de Santiago, something I am very excited about. The Wardens and Fr. Kevin have kindly agreed to let me have the time and I will be gone for five weeks in total.

The Camino has many routes all of which lead to Santiago where the remains of our patron Saint James the Greater are buried.

pilgrimages to special holy places or shrines. It was believed that if you prayed at these shrines you might be forgiven for your sins and have more chance of going to heaven. Others went to shrines hoping to be cured from an illness they were suffering from.

Inform.

Inspire.

Invite.

I am not going for either of these reasons, rather, having been encouraged by my confessor to walk, I am seeking the rhythm of prayer in the act of walking. As many of you know, I prefer to pray in an active way, although silent prayer and the daily office are part of my life too.

The apostles walked all over the known world when they were spreading the gospel and growing the early church, so I will be asking them to pray for me and perhaps impart some wisdom as I travel. In the meantime here at St. James’ we will be looking at the Book of Acts in our Formation this fall, and I hope you will be able to join me on this journey.
