A Reflection HONEST REPENTANCE An element of self-awareness and repentance is completely bound up with the nature of what we are doing in the Holy Eucharist: the celebration and the sorrow, the Easter and the cross are always there together. And as we come together as Christians, we come not to celebrate ourselves and how well we are doing, but to celebrate the eternal Gift that is always there, and to give the thanks that are drawn out of us by that Gift.

Holy Communion, then, is the way in which the whole of the Gospel story is played out in our midst. In thinking about the Bible, we recognize those biblical figures in the remote past as part of our own family. In Holy Communion that becomes something very immediate, something enacted very physically: we are members of the same kindred and, here and now, guests at the same table. We are experiencing Jesus creating community by his welcome, but we are also, with the patriarchs and apostles, those who are liable to forget, betray and run. We are the ones who are called back and invited and invited afresh on the resurrection day to experience yet again the creation of community, even through death and even through betrayal, abandonment and denial.

And we are now the ones who, as we receive Holy Communion, are commissioned to renew the face of the earth. We are those who can see humanity and the whole material world in a fresh way, seeing people and things sacramentally, seeing the depth within them, where the giving of God is always at work.

HYMN 5 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — Christ Whose Glory Fills the Skies Christ whose glory fills the skies, Christ the true, the only light, Sun of Righteousness, arise!

Triumph o'er the shades of night: Dayspring from on high, be near; Daystar, in my heart appear.

Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by thee; joyless is the day’s return, till thy mercy’s beams I see, till they inward light impart, glad my eyes and warm my heart.

Visit then this soul of mine, pierce the gloom of sin and grief; fill me, Radiancy divine, scatter all my unbelief; more and more thyself display, shining to the perfect day.

The Liturgy of the Word OLD TESTAMENT READING Reader

Be seated

A reading from the Book of Daniel.

As I watched, thrones were set in place, and an Ancient One took his throne; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and flowed out from his presence. A thousand thousand served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood attending him. The court sat in judgement, and the books were opened. As I watched in the night visions, I saw one like a human being coming with the clouds of heaven.

And he came to the Ancient One and was presented before him. To him was given dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed.

The Lord is King; let the people tremble; he is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth shake.

The Lord is great in Zion; he is high above all peoples. Antiphon O mighty King, lover of justice, you have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; they kept his testimonies and the decree he gave them. Antiphon Psalm 99:1-2, 4, 6-7

EPISTLE READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the Second Letter of Peter.

For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honour and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, ‘This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’ We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

HOLY GOSPEL Celebrant Allll Celebrant Allll

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 Luke.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah’—not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, ‘This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!’ When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen.

O worship the King, all glorious above; O gratefully sing his power and his love; our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.

O tell of his might, O sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; his chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, thy power hath founded of old, hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, and round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?

It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

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.

GOD'S GRANDEUR The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil; It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?

Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil; And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent; There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs — Because the Holy Ghost over the bent World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

26 | THE THURIBLE

The Thurible CLERGY NOTES Today we observe the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, translated from yesterday, August 6. Much loved in the Eastern Orthodox tradition where it is often a striking subject of icons, this celebration is not always given such attention in the Western Churches, which have in recent years used it as a turning-point in the pre-Lent or Lent season.

Turning-point in the Gospels it undoubtedly is, strengthening Jesus himself and the disciples for his forthcoming Passion in Jerusalem, but the Transfiguration has something to teach us in its own right, both in its context and for us today.

Through the incarnation and resurrection the whole of creation has been remade and renewed in Christ. So, as the disciples were given grace to recognise the glory of God breaking into the world in the person of Jesus, the transfigured Word made flesh, we are invited to open ourselves to the possibility of an awareness of the presence and the glory of God in and through the world around us.

May our eyes then be opened to glimpse something of this divine glory still breaking into our world today, not least in the beauty and wonder of creation itself, in the midst of the trials and tribulations of our times.

I am not alone in remarking upon the striking juxtaposition of the falling of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima 71 years ago on August 6, one of the most horrific examples of the human capacity for evil, as Christians celebrated this Feast of the divine glory. Gerald Manley Hopkins' poem God's Grandeur [see opposite page] captures something of this juxtaposition, and of the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

We wish you all joy and hope on this glorious Feast of the Transfiguration.

Ted was a pioneering nephrologist for many years, and a member of B.C.’s first organ transplant team. After leaving that profession, he and his wife, Phyllis (author of the history of St. James’ titled Every Good Gift) acquired Pages’ Resort and Marina on Gabriola Island. Ted’s funeral will be on Monday, August 8th, at 1:30 pm, in the Gabriola United Church, followed by interment in the Gabriola Community Cemetery. A reception will be held at Page’s Resort and Marina. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Gabriola Medical Clinic or the Gabriola Ambulance Society would be appreciated.

KIDS’ CORNER Vision: To help children and their parents find new ways to more fully participate in mass and aid in their spiritual formation.

This week’s Gospel tells us about something called The Transfiguration. Jesus took Peter, John and James up a mountain to pray. As they were praying they noticed that Jesus' face changed and his clothes became so bright it hurt their eyes. Then they saw that Moses and Elijah appeared in a bright and wonderful way. They heard them talking about Jesus leaving to return to his father, God. Peter and the others were sleepy but woke up to see this. Peter suggested that maybe they could stay on the mountain and build shelters for Jesus, Moses and Elijah. As he was saying this a huge cloud came down from the sky and all of a sudden they were in the cloud and the disciples felt really scared! Then a voice came from the sky that said "This is my son who I love.

Listen to him." The cloud vanished and Jesus was by himself again. The disciples were still feeling a bit scared and confused so they didn't tell anyone.

Prayer God, please help us listen to Jesus every day, and do what we know Jesus would like us to do. Amen.

COMMEMORATIONS St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) Patron of Europe, Martyr, 1942 August 9

St. Laurence Deacon and Martyr at Rome, 258 August 10

A brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her Baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross.

Today we honour Laurence, a deacon of the Roman church who was martyred in the middle of the third century. As a deacon, he assisted the bishop at the Eucharist by reading the gospel and administering the cup. Laurence also had charge over the wealth of his church, to see that it was used for the relief of the poor and the needy. On August 6th in the year 258, during renewed persecution of the Church, he was arrested with his bishop and several other deacons.

Later that same day, all of them were beheaded, except Laurence. The pagan magistrate knew that Laurence kept his church’s money and ordered him to hand it over. The deacon asked for three days’ grace, and on August 10th he came to the magistrate and led him out into the courtyard. The yard was filled with beggars, widows, lepers, cripples and the mentally ill.

“Here,” Laurence said, “this is the Church’s wealth!”

Enraged by such daring, the magistrate had him executed at once.

Early in the fifth century, Augustine of Hippo summarized the meaning of his example in this way: “Laurence ministered the blood of Christ to the faithful, and for the sake of Christ’s name he poured out his own.”

Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland), Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology, an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922 when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis.

After living in the Cologne Carmel (1934-38), she moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands. The Nazis occupied that country in 1940.

In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/Saints/ saint.aspx?id=1102
