A Reflection O Lord, remember not only the men and women of good will, but also those of ill will. But, do not remember all of the suffering they have inflicted upon us: Instead remember all of the fruits they have borne us because of this suffering – our, fellowship, our loyalty to one another, our humility, our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown from this trouble. When our persecutors come to be judged by you, let all of these fruits that we have borne be their forgiveness.

O God, we remember especially before thee those who are facing hardship, danger and persecution for thy name’s sake. Uphold them in their need; give them strength to endure; and may their example inspire us to more courageous service, that we together with them may strive for the advancement of thy kingdom throughout the world; for Jesus Christ our Saviour’s sake.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader
Be seated
A reading from the First Book of Kings. Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, "Go now to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and live there; for I have commanded a widow there to feed you." So he set out and went to Zarephath. When he came to the gate of the town, a widow was there gathering sticks; he called to her and said, "Bring me a little water in a vessel, so that I may drink." As she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." But she said, "As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a jar, and a little oil in a jug; I am now gathering a couple of sticks, so that I may go home and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die." Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said; but first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterwards make something for yourself and your son. For thus says the Lord the God of Israel: The jar of meal will not be emptied and the jug of oil will not fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth." She went and did as Elijah said, so that she as well as he and her household ate for many days. The jar of meal was not emptied, neither did the jug of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah. 1 Kings 17:8-16

PSALM
A cantor sings the antiphon first; all repeat it thereafter.
Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help! whose hope is in the Lord their God; Who gives justice to those who are oppressed, and food to those who hunger. Antiphon The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous; the Lord cares for the stranger; he sustains the orphan and widow, but frustrates the way of the wicked. Antiphon Psalm 146:4, 6, 8-9
THE EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon
A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Galatians. For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin; for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. You have heard, no doubt, of my earlier life in Judaism. I was violently persecuting the church of God and was trying to destroy it. I advanced in Judaism beyond many among my people of the same age, for I was far more zealous for the traditions of my ancestors. But when God, who had set me apart before I was born and called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, so that I might proclaim him among the Gentiles, I did not confer with any human being, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were already apostles before me, but I went away at once into Arabia, and afterwards I returned to Damascus. Then after three years I did go up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days; but I did not see any other apostle except James the Lord's brother. In what I am writing to you, before God, I do not lie! Then I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia, and I was still unknown by sight to the churches of Judea that are in Christ; they only heard it said, "The one who formerly was persecuting us is now proclaiming the faith he once tried to destroy." And they glorified God because of me. Galations 1:11-24

THE HOLY GOSPEL
All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels
Soon afterwards he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother's only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, "Do not weep." Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, rise!" The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized all of them; and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen among us!" and "God has looked favourably on his people!" This word about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding country. Luke 7:11-17

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 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.

St. James’ News & Announcements PARISH REVIEW UPDATE (3) The preliminary findings of my study leave and the proposed period of review for the Parish have been scrutinized by the Trustees and the Clergy – I am grateful for their support and encouragement. The term ‘sabbatical’ was used initially to describe the fact that I am in my seventh year as Rector. However, ‘sabbatical’ has been mistaken as signifying that I will be taking time away from the Parish this year, which is not planned, nor anticipated. So we will not use the term any further. The remainder of 2013 is an opportunity for a period of review and recommendation at St. James’. During this time the leadership (lay and ordained) of the Parish plan to work together in creating opportunities for us to listen to one another (and the direction of the Holy Spirit), to take stock of where we are in our journey together in Christ and to seek direction as we plan for the next few years. One might say this is an invitation to an exercise in faithfulness. It is as if I were arriving at St. James’ as your new Rector this year. Who and what is the Parish of St. James’? What is our vocation? How shall we offer our spiritual resources, physical resources, Church programmes and personnel (staff, lay leaders and all Church members) to the glory of God and the pursuit of the Kingdom of God? What will be our focus and our priority as we seek to live into our vocation in Christ? What are we being called to leave behind and to give up? What are we being called to take up that is new? What are we being called to maintain and strengthen? It is hoped that by Advent specific recommendations will have emerged and be supported by the Parish.

Please speak to me, or the Wardens, directly if you have a query, or would like to support this season of review. Fr. Mark.

REFUGEES RESCUED
PARTNERS WITH VSO
The Outreach Committee has learnt that the refugee family stranded in Syria who are being sponsored to come to Canada by the PWRDF have at last arrived in Halifax. Hamdan Nagie, his wife Wagida and son Ahmed, originally fled from Iraq and took refuge in a UNHCR camp near Damascus. Their daughter, who had immigrated to Halifax earlier, was advised that they could come to Canada if privately sponsored. So she appealed to the PWRDF for help. We made a small financial contribution towards this sponsorship. But before the funds could be collected, the civil war broke out in Syria. Canada closed its embassy in Damascus, and the visa office was moved to Jordan. More delays. Finally, last month the family were advised that they would be moved to Beirut to catch a flight to North America. But, when they reached the Syrian border, Hamdan was ordered off the bus and detained by the border guards. Somehow he managed to overcome this last hurdle, and the whole family has now been reunited. The PWRDF representative in Halifax has kindly sent us photos of their reunion at the airport. John Conway
submission deadline is July 2nd. All submissions may be sent to tracylee.russell@gmail.com, or left in the PAX mail slot outside the office.
