A Reflection SONG TO THE HOLY SPIRIT Lord, Holy Spirit, You blow like the wind in a thousand paddocks, Inside and outside the fences, You blow where you wish to blow.

Lord, Holy Spirit, You are the sun who shines on the little plant, You warm him gently, you give him life, You raise him up to become a tree with many leaves.

Lord, Holy Spirit, You are as the mother eagle with her young, Holding them in peace under your feathers.

On the highest mountain you have built your nest, Above the valley, above the storms of the world, Where no hunter ever comes.

Lord, Holy Spirit, You are the bright cloud in whom we hide, In whom we know already that the battle has been won.

You bring us to our Brother Jesus To rest our heads upon his shoulder.

Lord, Holy Spirit, You are the kind fire who does not cease to burn, Consuming us with flames of love and peace, Driving us out like sparks to set the world on fire.

Lord, Holy Spirit, In the love of friends you are building a new house, Heaven is with us when you are with us.

You are singing your song in the hearts of the poor.

Guide us, wound us, heal us. Bring us to the Father.

James K. Baxter from The New Zealand Prayer Book, pp.157-58 .

The Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING Reader

Be seated A reading from the Book of Acts.

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?

Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs - in our own languages we hear them speaking about God's deeds of power." All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others sneered and SOLEMN MASS | 9

said, "They are filled with new wine." But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o'clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 'In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord's great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'"

Acts 2:1-21

PSALM

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

O Lord, how manifold are your works! in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number, creatures both small and great.

All of them look to you to give them their food in due season. Antiphon You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; and so you renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; may the Lord rejoice in all his works.

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will praise my God while I have my being.

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans.

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

Romans 8:14-17

HOLY GOSPEL

All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels

Philip said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it. If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you. I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid."

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.

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY This week I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about baptism.

Some of us were baptised as infants, some choose baptism as adults, but what is it? Baptism is a promise, a commitment to a life obedient to God and a proclamation of belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. In baptism we actively turn away from sin, and make a conscious commitment to living the Jesus way.

In the movie The Matrix (1999) Morpheus tells Neo the protagonist, “unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.”

Baptism and a life with Jesus is like this. It can never be fully explained. You can’t be told what it is. We do our best to interpret and figure out what it is meant to be, but at the end of the day, we have to jump in and see it for ourselves, through worship, prayer, and life together.

In baptism we receive more than we can ask or imagine, but we have to remain open to the movement of the Holy Spirit in our lives and the call of Jesus, each of us bringing our gifts to the church.

My prayer for us here at St. James’ is that we would all become part of a small group where we can study and feast on the word of God together, and grow in faith and community. I pray that each of us will be open to our gifts and put them to use in God’s service. Baptism, salvation and the love of God are freely given gifts that require us to respond actively, joyfully and with thanksgiving. My hope is that each of us will take on one act of service here at St. James’, according to our gifts. All of us have something to offer, and many are carrying loads that could be shared ministries.

Ask yourself, what are your gifts?

What could you do to serve in God’s church? Not sure? Think you don’t have time? Not true. I guarantee that in finding one way to serve here in this place, you will receive more than you can ask or imagine in return.

Inform. Inspire. Invite.

Whilst she will still be worshiping with us, please refrain from burdening her with parish business.

10:30 AM SUNDAY MASS As it may not be possible to have the ministry of a deacon every Sunday, in accordance with common practice the 10:30 am service will be described as “Solemn Mass”, being the principal parish celebration (whether technically it is “High Mass” or “Sung Mass”).

AWAY Fr. Kevin is on vacation until June 11. He will not be responding to email while away.

RELATIONSHIPS & FELLOWSHIPS ABORIGINAL DAY CELEBRATIONS at the Diocesan Office Wed. June 19, 11 am to 2 pm 1410 Nanton Avenue, Vancouver BC The date of June 21 was chosen to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day because it corresponds to the summer solstice, and a time of year that many Indigenous groups have traditionally celebrated their culture and heritage.

Bob Baker (Squamish Ancestral name is S7aplek, Hawaiian name is Lanakila) and other members of the Coast Salish People will welcome us to their territory, and we will celebrate together in the beautiful gardens surrounding the Synod Office.

Please come and share a relaxing summer afternoon of music and dance, good food and good conversation!  Welcome: Bob Baker (Squamish Ancestral name is S7aplek.)  Welcome: Archbishop Melissa  Kwhlii Gibaygum Nisga'a Dancers  CEO Kevin Barlow Metro Vancouver Aboriginal Executive Council  V’ni Dansi, Yvonne Chartrand Metis Dancers  Inspector Suzanne Muir and Constable Richard Lavallee VPD  Love Medicine, the Big Drum  Lunch  Closing comments In friendship, Jerry Adams, Aboriginal Justice Coordinator jadams@vancouver.anglican.ca 604.684.6306 local 21
