A Reflection on Job 42

Overview: According to the Fathers, Job finally obtains justification from God when he openly

recognizes God’s omniscience and control over every event in human life (OLYMPIODORUS) and

shows his sincere humility (GREGORY) and the fullest repentance (CHRYSOSTOM). A person asks

a question in order to be able to learn that of which he is ignorant; for a person to question God is to

acknowledge that he is ignorant in his sight (GREGORY). It is evident that the Fathers see in Job an

anticipation of the fundamental virtues of Christian life. Job had not been delivered yet from his trial

when he repented, but still was in the midst of his torments when he spoke so. Job now becomes priest

while the visitors bring offerings. He had made sacrifices for his children; now he makes them for his

friends. One who accuses the righteous will have to expiate a serious fault (CHRYSOSTOM).

God’s Purpose Cannot Be Thwarted

JOB RECOGNIZES GOD’S OMNISCIENCE: [Job] openly declares that he had not learned these

things before but had now come to know the unconquered power of God. And since God penetrates

the decisions of people and understands the thoughts of all, there is nobody who can hide from his eye,

which sees everything. Who is he, he says, who being spared of words, can hide the secrets of his

mind in silence, because they have not been expressed in words?

Olympiodorus, Commentary on Job 42.1-3

Hear, and I Will Speak

THE HUMAN SENSES: To hear is, with us, to adapt our ear, which is in one place, to a sound that

comes from another. But with God, on the other hand, to whom nothing is external, hearing is properly

for him to perceive our longings that are rising up beneath him. For us then to speak to God, who is

acquainted with the hearts even of those that hold their peace, is not for us to utter what we think with

the words of our throat but to long for him with eager desires. A person asks a question in order to be

able to learn that of which he is ignorant; for a person to question God is to acknowledge that he is

ignorant in his sight. But for God, to reply is for him to instruct with his secret inspirations the one who

humbly acknowledges his ignorance.

The Liturgy of the Word

THE OLD TESTAMENT READING Be seated

Reader A reading from the Book of Job.

Then Job answered the Lord: "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of

yours can be thwarted. 'Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I

have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not

know. 'Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you declare to me.' I had heard of

you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and

repent in dust and ashes." And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed

for his friends; and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then there came

to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread

with him in his house; they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil

that the Lord had brought upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of money and a

gold ring. The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had

fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand

donkeys. He also had seven sons and three daughters. He named the first Jemimah, the

second Keziah, and the third Keren happuch. In all the land there were no women so

beautiful as Job's daughters; and their father gave them an inheritance along with their

brothers. After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children, and his

children's children, four generations. And Job died, old and full of days. Job 42:1-6, 10-17

Reader The word of the Lord.

lllAll Thanks be to God.

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

I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall ever be in my mouth.

I will glory in the Lord; let the humble hear and rejoice. Antiphon

8 | HIGH MASS

Proclaim with me the greatness of the Lord; let us exalt his name together. Taste and see

that the Lord is good; happy are they who trust in him! Antiphon Psalm 34:1-3, 8

THE EPISTLE READING

Sub-deacon A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews.

Furthermore, the former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by

death from continuing in office; but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he

continues forever. Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach God

through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that

we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners,

and exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he has no need to offer

sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; this he

did once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints as high priests those who

are subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law,

appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever. Hebrews 7:23-28

Sub-deacon The word of the Lord.

lllAll Thanks be to God.

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

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: Praise thy God, O Zion. Alleluia. He maketh

peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.

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

They came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho,

Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. When he heard

that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have

mercy on me!" Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly,

"Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesus stood still and said, "Call him here." And they

called the blind man, saying to him, "Take heart; get up, he is calling you." So throwing

off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, "What do you

want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "My teacher, let me see again." Jesus

said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and

followed him on the way. Mark10:46-52

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.

THE PEACE Stand

The ministers and people may greet one another in the name of the Lord in the customary

way.

You may choose not to shake hands at the Peace. A simple exchange of “Peace be with you”

with eye contact and a nod, or a bow, is a good substitute.

THE PRAYER OF CONSECRATION Kneel

Celebrant 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.

lllAll We praise thee, we bless thee, we thank thee and we pray to thee,

Lord our God.

Celebrant 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.

lllAll Amen.

Formation on Sundays

The ‘People of the Book’ and Prayer

Today - Prayer in Islam

Leader: Niall Christie, Corpus Christi College

Meaning and Ritual: After a brief introduction to the faith as a whole, we will explore prayer in

Islam. In the religion prayer takes two major forms, salat (ritual prayer) and du'a (personal

supplication). We will address these two practices in terms of both their physical, ritual forms and

their inner religious significance, considering how they enable the Muslim to re-affirm his or her

faith and to connect with God.

Mystics Series

The defining feature of mystical experience is its ineffability. Nevertheless, over the ages, those

who have achieved mystical union with the divine have devoted themselves to communicating

their experience to others. Many mystics have also sought to instruct others in the discipline of

contemplation in the hopes that by God’s grace their readers may themselves know spiritual

ecstasy. In this series we explore the rich English tradition of mystical writings. We begin in the

Middle Ages with four influential fourteenth-century mystics: Richard Rolle, the author of The

Cloud of Unknowing, Walter Hilton, and St. Julian of Norwich. Particular emphasis will be given

to St. Julian and we will look at her writings in depth. We end with consideration of William Law,

an eighteenth-century moral theologian and mystical writer, whose works (e.g. A Serious Call to a

Devout and Holy Life) play a crucial role in the great Evangelical Revival.
