A Reflection If we wish to inherit the true blessed life, the Lord who is that true blessed life has taught us how to pray. We do not have to use a lot of words as if being heard by God depended upon the sophistication of our language, because we are praying to the One who, as the Lord himself tells us in the gospel, “know what things we need before we even ask.”

Nevertheless, God who knows how to give good gifts to his children urges us to “ask and to seek and to knock.” Why this should be necessary, given that God knows everything before we even ask might perplex us. But we should understand that our Lord and God wants us to articulate our needs before him not in order to be informed of our wishes (since to him they cannot be hidden), but rather that through the process of us asking, desire may deepen in us, and through our desire God is able to prepare us to receive the gifts he wishes to bestow.

His gifts are very great: our capacity to receive them is small and meagre. That is why it is also said to us in Scripture: “Open wide your hearts and do not share the lot of unbelievers.” We are being prepared to receive that which is immensely great, that which eye has not seen because it is not colour, that which ear has not heard because it is not sound, that which has entered no human heart because the human heart must itself expand to enter it. We shall receive in proportion to the simplicity of our faith, the firmness of our hope, and the intensity of our desire.

Augustine, Commentary on St. John’s Gospel, 8, 1:24, 1: CCSL 36, pp.81-2, 244

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader

Be seated

A reading from the Book of Genesis.

Jacob settled in the land where his father had lived as an alien, the land of Canaan. This is the story of the family of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers; he was a helper to the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he had made him a long robe with sleeves. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.

Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem. And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." He answered, "Here I am." So he said to him, "Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock; and bring word back to me." So he sent him from the valley of Hebron. He came to Shechem, and a man found him wandering in the fields; the man asked him, "What are you seeking?" "I am seeking my brothers," he said; "tell me, please,

where they are pasturing the flock." The man said, "They have gone away, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers, and found them at Dothan. They saw him from a distance, and before he came near to them, they conspired to kill him. They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; then we shall say that a wild animal has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams." But when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hands, saying, "Let us not take his life." Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him" - that he might rescue him out of their hand and restore him to his father.

So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the long robe with sleeves that he wore; and they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it. Then they sat down to eat; and looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels carrying gum, balm, and resin, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh." And his brothers agreed.

When some Midianite traders passed by, they drew Joseph up, lifting him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans.

Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that "the person who does these things will live by them." But the righteousness that comes from faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) "or 'Who will descend into the abyss?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).

But what does it say? "The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, "No one who believes in him will be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

HOLY GOSPEL

All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels

Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them. And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, "Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid." Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!" Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God." Matthew 14:22-33

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.

The Thurible RECTOR’S NOTES (Con’t from last week) Part two:

Many of us come to Mass occasionally on a Sunday and yet we think of ourselves as regular parishioners.

Recently, I explained to a former parishioner of mine, from another diocese, how the pattern of Sunday worship at St. James is not a weekly, or near weekly, attendance by most parishioners. This is what she wrote: “If you are a Christian then surely you would attend every week to thank God and also say sorry. Is that not right?… Very simply… what matters is what God has done in Christ and what he continues to do by sharing the new life in Christ with us week by week. And we must continue to say thank you WEEK BY WEEK.” This former parishioner then proceeded to quote from a sermon she had recently heard: “we come Sunday by Sunday to renew that membership in the Eucharist and to receive again the strength and insight to be the body of Christ in his world.”

Greatness resides in service, service which is the fruit of sacrifice. How many Christians in Iraq today can

only dream of the freedom we have to gather for the Eucharist and practice our Christian faith with freedom?

Why would we choose not to gather each and every Sunday to share the new life in Christ through Holy Scripture and the Sacrament?

Inform. Inspire. Invite.

James was the first apostle to die for the Christian faith. Known as “James the Great,” he embodied the teaching of Jesus: “Whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

(Matthew 20.26-28.)

Each of us is called to this kind of greatness. None of us know how our journey will unfold. We do know that the grace to serve is given to us through participating in the sacrifice of the Mass. So participate, weekly – Sunday by Sunday – for the transformation and healing of the world.

MAY'S PLACE HOSPICE RENOVATION: REQUEST FOR SUPPORT After serving the Downtown Eastside for almost 25 years, upgrades to May’s Place hospice are now necessary to ensure patients’ safety and comfort. Based in Gastown, Cutler Design initiated a special project with The Bloom Group to renovate May’s Place. All projects costs will be covered by co-fundraising, as well as a network of vendor partners. Together, The Bloom Group and Cutler aim to raise $25,000 to make this project possible. These funds will go directly towards the construction and material costs, as Cutler will provide their services for free. If you would like to donate to this project or learn more about the campaign go to bit.ly/maysmakeover.

This issue's theme is "Remembering and celebrating our Parish history." We are planning to feature content from our own St. James' Archives, and are also eager to hear from parishioners who have special memories of events, people, and the neighbourhood throughout our long history. We warmly invite your reflections in word or image, especially as we approach our Dedication Festival. While we give priority to contributions related to the theme, submissions on any topic are always most welcome.

The deadline for submissions is Tues., September 2.

COMMEMORATION St. Clare of Assisi Founder of the Minoresses, 1253 August 11

Today we honour the memory of Clare, a thirteenth-century abbess who spent all her life in the Italian town of Assisi.

At the age of eighteen, a woman of beauty and wealth, she heard Francis of Assisi preach about the poverty of Christ. She was so deeply stirred that she renounced her former life, threw away all her brocades and silks, and put on the rough garment of a nun. Clare hoped to imitate Francis in a life of wandering, but neither Francis nor the authorities of the Church were ready to allow women such evangelical freedom.

She eventually took over a small enclosure next to the church of San Damiano in Assisi and there gathered a community of women who wished to devote themselves to Christ-like poverty. Under Clare’s direction they became “the Order of the Poor Ladies of San Damiano,” and sought to live up to their name by refusing anything that would bind them to the economic order of thirteenth- century Italy, even when rich people tried to give them land or the proceeds of a business.

They accepted only alms and small donations for immediate needs, just like the poorest people out in the world. They also did what they could to help beggars and poverty-stricken families who came to the gate of their enclosure.

Clare herself lived what she taught, claiming no privileges for herself as she devoted her days and nights to prayer and contemplation, to the spiritual needs of her sisters, and to the practical necessities of her fellow citizens. Despite increasing ill health, and though she never went outside her convent’s walls in thirty years, she remained a source of strength for all sorts and conditions of people right up to her death on this date in the year 1253.

COMMEMORATION St. Maximilien Kolbe Friar, Martyr, 1941 August 14

Today we honour Maximilien Kolbe, who suffered martyrdom at the hands of the Nazis during the second World War. Kolbe was a Polish Franciscan priest who sheltered Jews and other refugees after the Germans conquered his country in 1939. Two years later he was arrested and sent to the concentration camp at Auschwitz. He had been there only a short time when, as punishment for another prisoner’s escape, the camp commandant ordered that ten inmates be chosen at random and starved to death. One of the chosen victims fell to his knees and begged for mercy. Kolbe stepped forward and offered to take his place. His offer was accepted, and he was thrown into the starvation cell with nine other prisoners. He spent his time either praying or nursing his fellow victims.

After two weeks, only Kolbe and three of his companions remained alive. On August fourteenth, 1941, they were killed with an injection of carbolic acid.
