A Reflection

The picture on the front cover is of an icon painted in 1411 (or possibly 1425-27) by

the Russian painter Andrei Rublev. The original is currently held in the Tretyakov

Gallery in Moscow. It’s inspiration was the Biblical story of three angels who visited

Abraham and Sarah near the great trees of Mamre. The angels are depicted in equal

dignity, and thought to represent the triunity and equality of all three persons of the

Holy Trinity.

Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you

As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;

That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend

Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.

I, like an usurped town to another due,

Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end;

Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,

But is captived, and proves weak or untrue.

Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,

But am betrothed unto your enemy;

Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,

Take me to you, imprison me, for I,

Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,

Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

John Donne 1572-1631

The Liturgy of the Word

OLD TESTAMENT READING Be seated

Reader 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." Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31

8 | HIGH MASS

The word of the Lord.

All Thanks be to God.

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

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

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars you

have set in their courses,

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 Psalm 8:2, 4-6

EPISTLE 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

Sub-deacon The word of the Lord.

All Thanks be to God.

HIGH MASS | 9

10 | HIGH MASS

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

Alleluia. Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our Fathers: and worthy to be praised for

evermore. Alleluia. Benedíctus es (Mode V)

THE 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." John 16:12-15

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,

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.

PEACE Stand

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

THE 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.” +

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus

Dominus Deus Sabaoth.

Pleni sunt cæli et terra Gloria tua.

Hosanna in excelsis.

+ Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.

Hosanna in excelsis.

Holy, holy, holy,

Lord God of hosts,

Heaven and earth are full of thy glory.

Glory be to thee, O Lord most high.

+ Blessed is he that cometh in the name of

the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

16 | HIGH MASS

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.

blunted the sting of death, you opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. A light

upon us. Let thy mercy be upon us, O Lord, as we have trusted in thee. In thee, O Lord,

have I trusted: let me never be confounded.

SABBATICAL REVIEW UPDATE

Well, feedback comes in many forms. The cartoon

below was sent to me by a parishioner who had been

part of the interviews last week! How we make

disciples, rather how we are nurtured and grow as

disciples at St. James’, is at the heart of this season of

review and examination.

Here’s where we are at with the review process:

Much of the groundwork has now happened to

update the Parish Profile. However, this needs to be

completed and shared with the Parish.

I’m exploring with the Parish leadership how an

assessment and interpretation can be made of the

Parish Profile. This could then be offered to the

Parish to facilitate discussion through workshops,

forums and interviews as a complement to the

servant leadership bodies of the Trustees and Parish

Council.

After the experience with the test sample of

consultation interviews, a second stage may be to

interview the Parish leadership in order to further

this season of review.

If you would like more information please contact

the Office for a copy of the proposal for the

sabbatical review (we are now entering phase two for

those of you who are following closely), or the

resource of topics and questions for the consultation

interviews.

Please speak to me, or the Wardens, if you have any

queries, or would like to support us in this review

season at St. James’. We would be delighted to hear

from you.

FREE VIEWING OF WE WERE CHILDREN

June 11 7:00pm

For over 100 years, Aboriginal children in Canada

were legally required to attend church-run boarding

schools, an assimilationist practice now regarded as

a national and cultural tragedy. We Were Children

tells the heartbreaking true story of Lyna Hart and

Glen Anaquod, removed from their homes at the

ages of four and six and forced to adapt to a strange,

threatening new world. Blending stunning dramatic

storytelling with unflinching documentary

narratives, director Tim Wolochatiuk’s film gives

voice to two children trapped in a system that would

impact their lives forever. Co-produced by Eagle

HIGH MASS CHOIR FUNDRAISER

The choir regrets to announce the cancellation of its

year-end concert, scheduled for June 14th.

Coming as it did at the end of the choral season; the

date meant that simply not enough members were

available to do justice to the challenging program.

We thank all those who helped with the preliminary

organizing of the event, including donating items

for the silent auction. We will consider a similar

event in 2013-2014, but at a different time of the

year!

COMPOST SALE: Monday June 17th $5 bag

On June 17th at 7:30am we will have fifteen yards of screened

compost delivered. Part of it will be bagged up and sold and

most of it will be spread into the gardens at St. Luke’s, St. James’

Place and in the Lady Garden. The work will be done by the

YouthWorks students who are renting the Crypt, along with

Master Gardener volunteers. If you are able to loan us a wheel-

barrow or some traffic safety cones, please let us know.

Harvest Power will be donating the compost, but we need to pay

the trucking fees. We would also like to purchase some new

plants, shrubs, planters and a bench for the Chapel Walkway. If

you would like to volunteer in the garden with the Master

Gardeners, please leave a message at the office. Join us for some

fresh air, exercise, good company, and the opportunity to learn

more about gardening. We are also accepting monetary

donations to the gardens.

Check out the new St. Francis statue in the Chapel Walkway

Garden, donated by a St. Luke’s resident. Please tell your friends

and neighbours about the compost sale. We’ll have a lot of bags

to sell!
