A Reflection

The prayer of the first Christians was simply a reflection of the living Christ in their

midst. It was prayer ‘in his name’; and by this, we mean not that a formula was added

at the end of every petition but that in all their prayer they joined themselves to the

prayer of Christ himself, and knew that it was his spirit which prayed in them. The

best worship they could offer was simply his self-oblation in them. Praying in that

Spirit, the Christian’s prayer is immersed in the ocean of the Son’s communion with

the Father: ‘Praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God.’ And

again, ‘Keep your watch with continuous prayer and supplication, praying the whole

time in the Spirit. With constant wakefulness and perseverance you will find

opportunity to pray for all the Christian brethren.’ ‘We do not even know how we

ought to pray, but through our inarticulate groans the Spirit himself is pleading for

us, and God who searches our inmost being knows what the Spirit mean, because he

pleads for God’s own people in God’s own way.’

To live in prayer, therefore, is to live in the Spirit, and to live in the Spirit is to live in

Christ. I am not saying that prayer is a means or a method which we have to use in

order to have more of Christ in us or in order to be more fully possessed by the

Spirit. I am saying something simpler and more fundamental: to live in Christ is to

live in prayer. Prayer is not something you do; it is a style of living. It is living under

the witness which the Spirit bears with our spirit that we are children of God. Such a

witness lays upon us the awe-ful freedom of adult sonship. Prayer is our response to

both the privilege and the responsibility whereby we cry Abba, Father! To engage in

the mission of God, therefore, is to live this life of prayer; praying without ceasing, as

St. Paul puts it, that is to say, sustaining a style of life that is focused upon God. This

is indeed to engage in the mission of the Holy Spirit by being rather than by doing.

To realize that the heart of mission is communion with God in the midst of the

world’s life will save us from the demented activism of these days.

John V. Taylor, The Go-Between God, London, 1973, pp.226-7.

At the entrance of the clergy and servers all stand. Stand

VIDI AQUAM

(Lat. I beheld water). In the Western Church, the anthem traditionally sung in Eastertide

during the sprinkling of the congregation at Mass on Sundays, in place of the ‘Asperges’ sung

during the rest of the year. The words of the ‘Vidi Aquam’ are based on a combination of

verses from Ezekiel 47 The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, p. 1695.

thou hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ

with great triumph to thy kingdom in heaven.

The Liturgy of the Word

FIRST READING Be seated

Reader A reading from the Book of Acts.

One day, as we were going to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit of

divination and brought her owners a great deal of money by fortune-telling. While she

followed Paul and us, she would cry out, "These men are slaves of the Most High God,

who proclaim to you a way of salvation." She kept doing this for many days. But Paul,

very much annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I order you in the name of Jesus

Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour. But when her owners saw

that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them

into the marketplace before the authorities. When they had brought them before the

magistrates, they said, "These men are disturbing our city; they are Jews and are

advocating customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or observe." The

crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates had them stripped of their clothing

and ordered them to be beaten with rods. After they had given them a severe flogging,

they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to keep them securely. Following

these instructions, he put them in the innermost cell and fastened their feet in the

stocks. About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the

prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the

HIGH MASS | 9

10 | HIGH MASS

foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and

everyone's chains were unfastened. When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors

wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, since he supposed that the

prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted in a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we

are all here." The jailer called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling before

Paul and Silas. Then he brought them outside and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be

saved?" They answered, "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your

household." They spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

At the same hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and his

entire family were baptized without delay. He brought them up into the house and set

food before them; and he and his entire household rejoiced that he had become a

believer in God. Acts 16:16-34

Reader The word of the Lord.

All Thanks be to God.

PSALM A cantor sings the antiphon first; the people repeat it thereafter.

The Lord is king; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of the isles be glad. Clouds and darkness are round about him, righteousness and justice are the foundations

of his throne. Antiphon

The Lord loves those who hate evil; he preserves the lives of his saints and delivers them

from the hand of the wicked.

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, and give thanks to his holy name. Antiphon

Psalm 97:1-2, 10, 12

EPISTLE READING

Sub-deacon A reading from the Revelation to John.

"See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone's work. I

am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." Blessed

are those who wash their robes, so that they will have the right to the tree of life and may

enter the city by the gates. "It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony

for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star."

The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let everyone who hears say, "Come." And let

everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift. The

one who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord

Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.

Revelation 22:12-14, 16-17, 20-21

Sub-deacon The word of the Lord.

All Thanks be to God.

ALLELUIA A cantor begins the alleluia; all repeat it thereafter Stand

Alleluia. God reigneth over the heathen; God sitteth upon his holy seat. Alleluia. I will

not leave you comfortless: I go away and come again unto you, and your heart shall

rejoice. Alleluia. Regnavit Dominus (Mode V)

HIGH MASS | 11

HOLY GOSPEL All stand and turn to face the book of the Gospels

Jesus said, "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe

in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am

in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The

glory that you have given me I have given them, so that they may be one, as we are one,

I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may

know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I

desire that those also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my

glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the

world. Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you; and these know

that you have sent me. I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so

that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them." John 17:20-26

SERMON Be Seated

Fr. Mark Greenaway-Robbins

(At the conclusion of the sermon, silence is kept)

During Paschaltide the sermons will address the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1-12) as the

promises of God for our participation in the resurrected life.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matthew 5:8

THE CONFESSION & ABSOLUTION

Deacon Let us humbly confess our sins to almighty God.

Kneel

All Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Maker of all things and judge of all people:

We acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness,

Which we from time to time most grievously have committed,

By thought, word, and deed, against thy divine majesty.

We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings.

Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father;

For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,

Forgive us all that is past;

And grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee

In newness of life,

To the honour and glory of thy name;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Celebrant Almighty God, our heavenly Father,

who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins

to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him:

have mercy upon you;

+ pardon and deliver you from all your sins;

confirm and strengthen you in all goodness;

and bring you to everlasting life;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

All Amen.

Through thy most dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord;

who after his most glorious resurrection manifestly appeared to all his apostles,

and in their sight ascended up into heaven to prepare a place for us;

that where he is, thither we might also ascend, and reign with him in glory.

Therefore with Angels and Archangels,

and with all the company of heaven,

we laud and magnify thy glorious name;

evermore praising thee and saying:

THE PRAYER OF CONSECRATION

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.” +

HIGH MASS | 19

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.

lllAll 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.

Formation on Sundays

THE DOCTRINE OF

THE HOLY SPIRIT

On May 19, we will celebrate the great feast of Pentecost, which, in the Church,

commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples. The account of

Pentecost is found in Acts 2:1-21. In Christian faith, the Holy Spirit is the third person

of the Holy Trinity. What are the roots of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit: in scripture, in

tradition, and in reason or experience? How does the Holy Spirit relate to the other

persons of the Trinity, the Father and the Son? What is the work of the Holy Spirit in

us?

May 12: The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit

Leader: Mother Jessica Schaap

This is the last Formation Session of the season. A new season will resume in September.

Read all the talks about salvation from the last Formation series on the website under

“Christian Education - Educational Resources.” Formation is on Sundays in the

Bishops’ Room at 9:30am.

These sessions are an opportunity for us to gather as a community of faith, by God’s grace, to

develop “an inquiring and discerning heart” (Rite for Holy Baptism, BAS p.160). And in the

words of the baptismal covenant, it may be our response to the question: “Will you continue

in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship…”

PLEASE HELP. RECTOR’S SABBATICAL REVIEW

WITH ST. JAMES’ CHURCH, 2013

Dear Friends,

At Parish Council (April 20) I shared a plan for a

‘sabbatical review’ with the Parish. Hard copies are

now available in the Narthex and upon request

(electronic format is available too) from the Parish

Office. I would really welcome your participation at

this early stage and in the coming months as the

conversation unfolds. Please complete and return the

feedback response form (green) to the Parish Office by

Sunday, May 19th. Your support is much appreciated.

Yours in Christ, Fr. Mark

UPDATE: RECTOR’S STUDY LEAVE

WEEKS 1 & 2

I’ve spent the past two weeks reviewing service

registers, Annual reports, minutes of Vestry and

Trustees, and editions of Cornerstone and PAX.

So far I have constructed: a timeline of the provision

of all clergy and staff for this period; a narrative

timeline of developments in liturgy, pastoral care,

vision and mission, governance, strategic direction

and physical resources; charts and graphs which

describe - attendance at various liturgies, membership,

sacraments celebrated and our finances. Most of this

data will require further analysis. It is being created to

help us update the Parish Profile and to enable us to

better understand our history in order that we might

faithfully look to our future.

Next week, I am interviewing a sample of seven

parishioners to test the resources which have been

created for a consultation.

This study leave is phase one of my sabbatical review

with the Parish. (Copies of the proposal for the

sabbatical review may be obtained from the Parish

Office.)

If you are interested in reviewing the findings of my

study leave so far I would be pleased to share the

document and discuss it with you. Contact me at:

Leaving A LegacyLeaving A LegacyLeaving A LegacyLeaving A Legacy

Many of us would like to leave something behind to ensure that

the St. James’ we know will continue for many years, but as retirees we don’t see how that is possible.

By using Canada Revenue’s generous tax treatment of charitable gifts, it is possible to increase giving, reduce income taxes and increase your own annual income now, while still leaving a legacy through your will.

After High Mass at 12:30 on May 26 there will be a presentation by a Certified Financial Planner in the May Gutteridge Room. Ed Fidler will explain how the tax laws can work in your favour when you plan

ahead. A light lunch will be provided.

It would be appreciated if you would notify the office that you plan to attend, but that isn’t strictly necessary – just come and listen.
