HYMN 193 Green Hymn Book (New English Hymnal) — Stars of the Morning (Second Tune) Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright, filled with celestial resplendence and light, these that, where night never followeth day, raise the Trisagion ever and aye.

These are thy counsellors, these dost thou own, Lord God of Sabaoth, nearest thy throne; these are thy ministers, these dost thou send, Help of the helpless ones! man to defend.

These keep the guard amidst Salem's dear bowers, Thrones, Principalities, Virtues and Powers, where, with the Living Ones, mystical Four, Cherubim, Seraphim, bow and adore.

"Who like the Lord?" thunders Michael the chief; Raphael, "the cure of God," comforteth grief; and, as at Nazareth, prophet of peace, Gabriel, "the light of God," bringeth release.

Then, when the earth was first poised in mid space, then, when the planets first sped on their race, then, when were ended the six days' employ, then all the sons of God shouted for joy.

Still let them succour us; still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right; Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader

Be seated

A reading from the book of Genesis.

Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran. He came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place. And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And the Lord stood beside him and said, "I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring; and your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your offspring. Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it!" And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

Genesis 28:10-17

PSALM

The cantor sings the antiphon first; the people repeat it thereafter.

The Lord has set his throne in heaven, and his kingship has dominion over all.

Bless the Lord, you angels of his, you mighty ones who do his bidding, and hearken to the voice of his word. Antiphon Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, you ministers of his who do his will.

Bless the Lord, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion; bless the Lord, O my soul. Antiphon Psalm 103:19-22

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the Revelation to John.

War broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world - he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. But they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not cling to life even in the face of death. Rejoice then, you heavens and those who dwell in them!

But woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!"

Revelation 12:7-12

HOLY GOSPEL

All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels

When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, "Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!" Nathanael asked him, "Where did you get to know me?" Jesus answered, "I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you." Nathanael replied, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!" Jesus answered, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these." And he said to him, "Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." John 1:47-51

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Celebrant

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

Thee, O Christ, the Father’s splendour, life and virtue of the heart, in the presence of the angels sing we now with tuneful art, meetly in alternate chorus, bearing our responsive part.

Thus we praise with veneration all the armies of the sky; chiefly him, the warrior primate, of celestial chivalry, Michael, who in princely virtue cast Abaddon from on high.

By whose watchful care repelling—King of everlasting grace—every ghostly adversary, all things evil, all things base, grant us of Thine only goodness, in Thy paradise a place.

We sound with sweet voices the glory of the Father, we sing about the glory of Christ, of the Glory of the Paraclete; the Triune God who existed before the world began.

Amen.

HYMN

Sit or kneel 326 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — Bright the Vision That Delighted Bright the vision that delighted once the sight of Judah's seer; sweet the countless tongues united to entrance the prophet's ear.

Round the Lord in glory seated cherubim and seraphim filled the temple, and repeated each to each the alternate hymn: "Lord, thy glory fills the heaven; earth is with its fullness stored; unto thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord."

Heaven is still with glory ringing, earth takes up the angels' cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy," singing, "Lord of Hosts, the Lord most high."

With his seraph train before him, with his holy Church below, thus unite we to adore him, bid we thus our anthem flow: "Lord, thy glory fills the heaven; earth is with its fullness stored; unto thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord."

The Thurible NOTES FROM THE CLERGY I've been looking forward to Parish Council, it is good for us to be together as a community to think about where we are at and where we are headed and to celebrate Mass together.

In the coming weeks we will be walking through the Book of Acts in our formation sessions and thinking about our vision as God's church in our changing context and time. We seek to discover the beauty of holiness in a Christcentered sacramental life, rooted in the Anglo-Catholic tradition.

What is that going to looking like in the coming days, months, and years?

We are a community that is good at welcoming people and devoted to prayer. We work consistently at formation, through the reading and study of scripture. The clergy team would love to hear from you.

What specific subject, practice, book, or scripture would you like to learn about to deepen your relationship with God, and live out your faith in the different places that each of you goes to when you leave the church building?

Do you feel like you know other people at St. James'? Is there one person that you feel connected

with, who you know and who knows you? What do you think we could be doing to get to know each other better? What could we be doing to get to know our immediate geographical community better? Do you know what is on the St. James' calendar and where to find information about upcoming events?

Social justice has always been a big part of the Anglo-Catholic church. As you know we are a Metro Vancouver Alliance member organization, and continue to be involved in discussion and collective activism for the basic rights of the people in our city, key issues being housing and transit.

Where else do you see opportunities for us to be making a difference? Come and talk to me or one of the other clergy, we want to hear from you!

If you're here at the church for the first time, I want to hear from you as well! Please come and introduce yourself to me, I’d love to hear your story. I'm Lucy, or Mother Lucy if you prefer to be more formal, I even answer to Padre, Pastor, Sister and hello!
