The Liturgy of the Word FIRST READING Reader

Be seated A reading from the book of Proverbs.

Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out: "To you, O people, I call, and my cry is to all that live. The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago. Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world's first bits of soil. When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the human race."

PSALM

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

O Lord our governor, how exalted is your name in all the world!

Out of the mouths of infants and children your majesty is praised above the heavens.

Antiphon You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, to quell the enemy and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars you have set in their courses, Antiphon What is man that you should be mindful of him? the son of man that you should seek him out?

You have made him but little lower than the angels; you adorn him with glory and honour; Antiphon You give him mastery over the works of your hands; you put all things under his feet; All sheep and oxen, even the wild beasts of the field, Antiphon The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.

O Lord our governor, how exalted is your name in all the world! Antiphon Psalm 8

SECOND READING Sub-deacon

A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans.

Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

Romans 5:1-5

HOLY GOSPEL

All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels

Jesus said, "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you."

HYMN

Stand The People sing the hymn while the People’s gifts of bread, wine and money are brought forward.

436 Blue Hymn Book (Common Praise) — I Bind Unto Myself Today 1. I bind unto myself today the strong name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three.

2. I bind this day to me for ever, by power of faith, Christ's incarnation, his baptism in the Jordan river, his death on cross for my salvation.

His bursting from the spicèd tomb, his riding up the heavenly way, his coming at the day of doom, I bind unto myself today.

3. I bind unto myself today the virtues of the starlit heaven, the glorious sun's life-giving ray, the whiteness of the moon at even, the flashing of the lightning free, the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks, the stable earth, the deep salt sea, around the old eternal rocks.

16 | HIGH MASS

4. I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead, his eye to watch, his might to stay, his ear to hearken to my need, the wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward; the word of God to give me speech, his heavenly host to be my guard.

(Verse 5 is sung by the choir) 6. I bind unto myself the name, the strong name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three-in-One, and One-in-Three, of whom all nature hath creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word.

Praise to the Lord of my salvation, salvation is of Christ the Lord.

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION

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.

Alll

Alll

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.

Amen.

To thee cherubim and seraphim continually do cry: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth; heaven and earth are full of the majesty of thy glory.

The glorious company of the apostles praise thee. The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise thee. The noble army of martyrs praise thee. The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee, the Father of an infinite majesty, thine honourable, true, and only Son, also the Holy Ghost the Comforter.

Thou art the King of glory, O Christ.

Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.

When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, thou didst humble thyself to be born of a Virgin. When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.

We believe that thou shalt come to be our judge.

We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood. Make them to be numbered with thy saints, in glory everlasting.

HYMN 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 In the reflection this week you will see that I’ve noted the 5 Marks of Mission and the Mission and Vision Statements of our church here in the Downtown Eastside.

We are a parish which is trying to grow. What does that look like?

Not all growth is about numbers, but growing our numbers is part of our mission. Consider our mission objectives: We are committed to inviting and welcoming friends, family, and strangers into our midst. We are committed to developing relationships and fellowship in open, honest, and spiritual ways.

We need to gather and listen to one another, we need to gather and delve into scripture together to continue our spiritual growth.

Acts 2:46-47 Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.

On a larger scale as a church we have affirmed the 5 Marks of

Mission: to teach, baptize and nurture new believers, to respond to human need by loving service.

Over the next few weeks you are going to see me with a large map of the greater Vancouver area. I have been listening to your feedback about your longing for community outside of Sunday mornings, and our current formation sessions. The feedback on formation has been positive, however, the clergy team is hearing that not all of you are able to make the Thursday evening or Sunday sessions, and for some of you, it would be easier to meet closer to home.

So here is what I propose with the map. Each of you are invited to place a pin where you live so that we can see where would be good locations to offer small group Bible studies, that would allow us to learn and pray together, and make small group gatherings more accessible for all.

Please take a look at the reflection and let me know where you think we are as a parish.

Inform. Inspire. Invite.
