THE NAMING OF JESUS. How appropriate th~t the 'Naming of Jesus and the beginning of the New Year should be celebrated on the s~rne day, for Jesus is always the beginning of the New Life, new life in the ·spirit, eve.r renewing and recreating those things whL:h we in our waywardness manage to get wrong and which we invp.riably try to correct by making resolutions on the first day of a New Year, and yet these resolutions so often fail; but would they, if we gave them to Jesus in our prayer? For theie is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven among men and women, by which ~e must be saved.

The author Evelyn Waugh writes of the three Kings thus: - 'How laboriously you come, taking sights and calculating, where the shepherds had run bare foot! How odd you looked on the road, attended by what outlandish liveries, laden with such preposterous gifts. Yet you came and were not turned away - you too found room before the manger - your gifts were not needed, but they were accepted and put carefully by, for they were brought with love. In the new order of charity that had just come to life, there was room for you, too, patrons of late corners, of all who have a tedious journey to make to the truth, of all who are confused with knowledge and speculation, of all who through politeness make themselves partners in guilt, of all who stand in dangers of their talents.' ASH WEDNESDAY. Please give your palm crosses to one of the clergy so that they can be burnt for the Ashing on Ash Wednesday in four weeks time. NEW FLOWER ROTA at the back of the Church.

The V\Teek of I.)rayE:r for Christian Unity is from 18th to 25th January (for details see over). Jesus prays to the Father,'May they be as we are one,' (John 17). EPIPHANY commemorates not only the coming of three wise men but also the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan. The second aspect of the Feast is much emphasized by the Christian East, especially at the Great Blessing of the Waters, often celebrated on a river bank or the sea shore. Christ's Baptism at the hands of John is seen as anticipating our own and is given at the same time a cosmic significance; the Saviour Himself, sinless, enters the streams of the Jordan, thereby cleansing the Vvaters and so imparting grace and rech:::mption to the entire material creation. 'Today the grace of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descended upon the waters. Today the Sun that never sets has risen and the world is filled with splendour by the light of the Lord. Today things above keep feast with things below and things below commune with things above. Today earth and sea share in the joy of the world and the world is filled with gladness. At thine Epiphany the whole creation sang thy praises.' (From 'The Great Blessing of the Waters') CON?IRMl\TION. Adult confirmation classes will begin tonight at 7.45 p.m. at Roath Church House.

The theme for this Sunday is Creation. Richard Foster, author of 1 1 Freedom of Simplicity , says, ·~ve are part of the created order and hence totally dependent. Our posture is not one of arrogant acquisition, but of simple trust. What we have or ever will have comes from His gracious hand. We are dependent upon God for even our sense of worth; as individuals our uniqueness and dignity is rooted in our creation in the image of God. our value is not tied to wealth, status, accomplishments or position: it is a gift from God. Obviously this wonderful truth is far from the modern tendency to judge people by what they produce or what they have.' It is a truth we need to return to so that we may become truly part of God's c:ceation. WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY.

f_\~_.'\D~~GS. The story of the 'Garden of Eden' is all about temptation, pride, disobedience. It is a vignette of the human condition which pictures the ongoing struggle which seems to be our lot and experience of life, as men and women follow 'the course of the world.' The phrase, 'we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of humankind,' is a difficult one. In the New Testament 'the wrath of God' means the inevitable working out of the processes of the natural law - sin adds to 3in, and the situation grows worse. It is like blowing up a balloon until, suddenly it bursts. We live in that kind of world - wars, for example, are created just like that - but it is true also of our own personal lives. We all share in this inherent tendency towards sin - Christ has rescued us from this fate - 'He gave His life as a ransom for many ' (I';iark 10: 45) and Cod 'has made us alive together with Christ' (by Grace you have been saved).

!3.~ADIN_s;S. Christianity frequently uses the word 'LOVE'. \1-Jhat does it mean? Society uses it for almost anything- 'I love baked beans', 'I love cars', 'I love my children', and so on . .3ut Christianity has a very profound understanding of the hard, as shown in the life of Christ and described by St Paul in the Epistle this norning (1 Cor.l3). Christian 'love' is, in essence, a self giving love. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, the journey to Easter. It is an opportunity to grow closer to God and understand better the meaning of self-giving love in our lives. How are you going to prepare yourself for Easter this Lent? COFFEE will be served in the vestry after the Eucharist this morning (also cakes from the Sunday School), and the draw for the lOO Club will take place.

'The desert in the Bible is the place of realism, where the ligh~and the darkness, the heat and the cold, the day and the night are merciless and know no deceptions. You cannot cheat the reality of the desert.' (Hichael Harshall). In the desert Jesus discerned His True Vocation and learned to rely on the source of His real strength - GOD. Lent can be a 'desert­ time' for us if we use it well, when we can face up to the reality of our lives and find in our weakness the source of our real strength - GOD.

The Holy Eucharist will be celebrated at 11 a.m. in St Edward's, the Sunday School will meet at 11 a.m. and Evensong will be sung at 6.30 p.m. THE THEME of this morni.ng's readinss is 'conflicts'. St Paul talks about the inner struggle to try to do what is right, the Gospel of Luke about the conflict between good and evil in the world. Conflicts or 'tensions' abound world-wide and the worst sort end up in violence and blood-shed. But there are all sorts of conflicts we face daily which build up tension within us. How do we deal with this? Making space in our lives for prayer, quiet relaxation, being with loved ones is difficult sometimes, but necessary. Moses had to turn aside from his daily task to see the burning bush and meet with God - would we be too busy to notice? WEDNESDAY MORNil-JG EUCHJ

We follow our Transfigured Lord in faith, putting our trust in Him and bearing, for the sake of the good news He has given us, all that might come in our path. When we pray 'through' Jesus Christ our Lord .•. we are walking in His strength, pleading in His name, supported by His cross. It is through the life, passion and death of the Lord that we are enabled to pass from death into the glorious life of the follower who is one with Christ in God.

THE PASSION will be proclaimed today in a dramatic way the congregation is invited to join in the ''crowd'' responses. There are no responses before or after the Passion. PALM SUNDAY. On this day the Church commemorates Christ's entry into the Holy City, Jerusalem, to accomplish His saving work by dying and rising again. The Palm Sunday procession is an act of Praise to Christ the King who reigns and triumphs on the Cross, and it expresses our own readiness to take up our cross and follow Christ. The Blessing and giving of Palm Crosses is another symbol of our acceptance to follow our Crucified Lord. It is these crosses that are reduced to ash for the Ashing on the first day of Lent. Another symbol of our own destiny ... at least that of our Bodies. We, however, because of the Death and Resurrection of the Lord shall be raised to glory and share in the joy of the blessed in Heaven. This is our Faith, this is our Hope. Without the first Holy week and Easter, this would not be possible.

What happened to Him, what change He underwent, what it was like for Him to rise from the dead .•. this we :do not know. We do know some of the things that happened to His disciples - what He caused them to see, to touch and hear. Through the signs of His presence which He bestowed, He made them understand at least this about Himself: the whole Jesus who had lived with them before His Passion was again alive, and with them again, nothing had been lost, where everything had been glorified. We break bread on the altar for the death of Christ but presently we mingle wine and bread to figure the coming together.again of flesh and blood in the wholeness of Christ's Resurrection. And then we take to ourselve~ the words he spoke in the upper room. The Peace of the Lord be always with you.

What a great comfort those words can be. There can be few of us who have net found them of immeasurable support in a time of stress or pain or loss. Even mant who have little to do with the Church find them of great help. The dictionary def~ncs a psalm as a hymn, a song of praise and certainly our use of these opening words of the 23rd Psalm is an affirmation that we know that God cares for each of us just as the Palestinian shepherd cared for each of his flock. If these words a~e a comfort they are also a challenge. In claiming Jesus Christ as our Shepherd we clai~ membership of His Church and accept the responsibility of membership. Jesus entrusted His mission to His Church and we as a Church are committed to caring for His people, including those 'that are not of this flock'. The Church has a reason to exist only as long as it does the work of Jesus Christ, caring for the needy, the weak, the oppressed, the lonely, the stranger and the lost both physically and spiritually. If we accept the comfort we must also accept the challenge. BASICS OF FAITH. This group resumes at Roath Church House at 7.45 p.m. today. LENT BOXES are now due back, please, for the work of USPG.

An informal discussion group meets at 7.45 p.m. on Sunday evenings at Roath Church House. THE EMPTY TOMB. 'i:vhat happened to the physical body of Jesus? vJhy was the tomb empty? Was the old body transformed into a 'new body'? The New Testament wishes to emphasize the identity of the person who suffered with him who was raised. The Risen Lord is not a spirit but a living person with a 'body'. St Paul sees Christ as the first to be raised from death. Whether one's interpretation of the resurrection is more 'physical' or more 'spiritual', what is clear is that there was a short transitional period between Jesus's death and his final 'disappearance' when the resurrected Christ was identified with the earthly Jesus. In him they knew the presence and grace of God. It is from their experiences of the resurrection that the eye witnesses were able to discover the relationship which had always existed between Jesus and the Father. ST EDWARD'S lOO CLUB.

THE SEASON OF EASTER is one of the great 'highs' in the Christian year a very special time. So much of our lives does not seem to be very special. In fact it can be downright humdrum. During the special times we can be very conscious of our faith, perhaps even very aware of the presence of Jesus Christ in our lives. It is much more difficult to practise our faith, let alone feel the presence of Jesus Christ as we go about our everyday affairs. And yet we should expect him to be there, with us, every step of the way. When, as today's Gospel reading reminds us, seven of the disciples went fishing, at least three of them were going about their usual daily work. They did not expect to see Jesus - so for a time they did not recognise him. Have we any expectation of his presence in our lives? After all, if we do not expect him to be thare we are unlikely to find him - even when we realise that we need him.

There will be a Sung Eucharist at 7.30 p.m. in St Edward's. TODAY IS ROGATION SUNDAY when historically, the church prayed for a good harvest. A good harvest meant the difference between prosperity and ruin or even life or death. Thankfully, for us at least, this is no longer true, though it is still true for vast numbers of the world's population. The theme is still prayer and in the collect we address God 'Who art always more ready to hear than we to pray'. How true that is and yet Jesus promises 'if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.' Do we really believe this? For that matter do we realise just how much we need God's intervention and support? Faith needs humility as well as trust, a frank recognition of our hopelessness without God and a willing confidence in God's love for us that allows us to align our will with his rather than an expectation that he will align his will with ours.

The Ascension of Christ is His liberation from all restrictions of time and space. It does not represent His removal from the earth, but his constant presence everywhere on earth.

But now He is united with God, He is present wherever God is present and that is everywhere. Because He is in heaven he is everywhere on earth, because He is ascended, He is here now. In the person of the Holy Spirit He dwells in his church, and issues forth from the deepest depths of the souls of His disciples, to bear witness to His sovereignty.

Our disposition is most important when it comes to deepening our relationship with God. Our disposition should be of humble longing - it is when we reach this point that God is able to make contact with us, for we (that is our hangups, opinions and self centredness) no longer get in the way. We stand instead in an attitude of receiving. So it was on the day of Pentecost - the disciples no longer questioned for they knew who Jesus was and so waited patiently for him to fulfil his promise to them - the promise of the Holy Spirit which they received in fulness. The marks of the Spirit's presence have always been the same a useful checklist for each one of us. They are: (1) a new reality of God, (2) a love for Jesus Christ, (3) a hunger for the Scriptures, (4) spontaneous joy and praise, (5) witness and generous giving, which not only includes money but a generous giving of self to others in love.

In our collect today we recognise that God himself has made known to us the glory of the eternal Trinity and that it is in the power of the divine majesty that we are enabled to worship the Unity - we come, that is, to the Father, through the Son and in the power of the Holy Spirit. This is true to the Christian experience of God, but the 'Doctrine of the Trinity' is not a definition of God - 'a God defined is a God finished' -but an attempt to articulate the truth which has been known or revealed to us.

Christian love (Agape) is much more than friendship (philos ~ to like, to be fond of) and quite different from physical attraction (Eros ~ to be attracted to). It is a question of 'put~ing others before oneself', of 'serving others', of being the 'servant or slave' of 'washing one another's feet.' (John 13, v.l4).

Weather permitting, the Office will be sung at 6 p.m. on the Church lawn, THE CALL TO DISCIPLESHIP. Clergy are often asked, "~vhy don't more people go to Church?" But, perhaps a better question to ask is "Why do WE come to Church?" Do we see Church-going as a way of answering God's call to us to become a disciple of Jesus Christ? After all Church is a very definite opportunity for learning about Jesus - in stories read from the Bible, hymns and prayers, in attitudes adopted in worship. The point of the Gospel story today shows us that if we claim to be a disciple of Christ {A Christian) then we need to be committed to Him. There is no such thing as discipleship WITHOUT commitment, without some INVOLVEMENT in God's Church. And so over to you ..••.. ROATH COUNCIL OF CHURCHES A.G.M. is on Monday at 7.30 p.m. Our sole representative at the moment is Kathie Mayer, who is Vice-Chairman of the Council. She would very much appreciate being joined by other members of St Edward's - so if you are free on Monday evening, why not come along to the meeting and find out about ecumenical work in Roath.

Please would people ensure that ALL monies and counterfoils are returned by the 16th June. HELP is needed - with the cutting of the grass surrounding Roath Church House. It is proposed to organise a rota of people working in teams of 2/3 who would undertake the cutting of the grass once or twice during the summer season. If you can spare the time - please put your name on the list at the back of the church. The cutting of our own grass is organised less formally - if you are willing to help, please have a word with Heather Doe or Alan Mayer. VOLUNTARY WORK. Volunteers are needed by the Social Services Department to work with young children (under fives) and their families. This could be anything from providing an escort for the child, to establishing a routine in the household. Please give this some thought and contact Fr Kevin for further information. FR KEITH KIMBER WRITES: Please don't use the absence of a local USPG representative as an excuse to forget the needs and challenges of world mission. The spiritual needs of the human race, addressed by the church's mission, remain just as essential as the meeting of material needs. The Church in Wales will not be adequately equipped for its local mission, unless it also becomes involved in the mission of God across the barriers of culture and race internationally. After six years of discovery 'on the road' in Wales, I am more certain of this than ever before. Please remember Fr Kimber in your prayers as he moves to his new parish of Halesowen in Worcester Diocese this week. MORNING AND EVENING PRAYER.

After the Service, the Choir will have a barbecue in the grounds. SAINTS' DAYS. Why does the Church teach us to keep Saints' Days? - so that we may know what graces and gifts God has conferred on His people ... so that we may give thanks for them and be provoked to place greater confidence in the grace of God for ourselves ... so that following their examples of faith we too may become 'imitators of Christ'. Today we keep the Feast of Saint Barnabas the Apostle. Barnabas took a prominent part in the development of the infant Church. He was an early Christian disciple from Cyprus and it was he who introduced St Paul to the other apostles and travelled with him on the 'first missionary journey.' WALSINGHAM MASS.

The first 'Let us pray' in our Eucharist Service comes before the 'Collect' (or opening prayer) - after we have 'prepared ourselves for worship' and before we hear the word of the God in the reading. The 'Collect' prayer collects together all our thoughts and helps to focus them into ONE prayer. We celebrate the Eucharist TOGETHER as the Body of Christ, rather tha;--as individuals. We step forward into Communion together as a body, rather than as each person alone. Today's prayer is particularly beautiful and helpful in our own devotions. We ask God to guide and help us in everything we do so that it may be done to His glory. ANGLICAN RENEWAL MINSTRIES (WALES). There is a conference Tuesday-Friday this week.

The word 'Bible' is derived from the Greek word 'biblia' meaning books. These books are divided into two sections, the Old and New Testament. The books of the Old Testament date from before the birth of Jesus and are held in common by the Church and the Jewish Synagogue. The books of the New Testament are the early writings of the Christian Church. They comprise the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the Acts of the Apostles, a set of Epistles and the Revelation of John. The word Epistle is derived from a Greek word meaning 'a letter'. The word Gospel translates a Greek word and means 'good news'. In our Bible readings we hear the 'Good News' of God's saving action and we ask Christ to make this known in our hearts. FATHER KEVIN will be ordained priest at Llandaff Cathedral next Sunday at 3 p.m. His first celebration of the Holy Eucharist is on Monday, 3rd July, at 7.30 p.m. at St Philip's Church.

We are ordaining you to something smaller and less spectacular, to read and interpret those sacred stories of our community; so that they speak a word to people today; to remember and practise those sacred rituals of meaning that address people at a level where change takes place ... to foster in the community, through word and sacrament that encounter with truth which will set people free to minister as the Body of Christ, His Church. We are ordaining you to a ministry of word and sacrament and pastoral care. Jesus said to Peter, ~Do not be afraid; henceforth you will be catching men."

SEA SUNDAY. The 1988 Lambeth Conference of Bishops gave strong backing to the Church's ministry among seafarers, and particularly to the work of the Missions to Seamen as the Anglican Church's outreach to the seafarers of the world in more than 300 ports.

The fourth Gospel tells us that Martha and Mary lived with brother Lazarus, in Bethany, a village quite near Jerusalem. As at this time Jesus was nowhere near Jerusalem, the incident is misplaced, perhaps intentionally to be complementary to the Good Samaritan, teaching that love of one's neighbour must go hand in hand with making time to show our love for God by listening to him. Martha's fault is not her activity but the fret and fuss behind it. How often are we distracted from serving God and our neighbour by filling our time with seemingly important issues and activities and then justifying these activities as the right response to God and neighbour. We need perhaps to look at ourselves and place in order of priority the things we do in relationship to our response to God .... RESOLVEN AND TONNA Parishes will be joining St Margaret's for Evening Prayer today. Their Vicar is Peter Raikes, a former priest of this Parish. LAST MEETINGS.

Early on Nonday morning sixteen from our Parish will JOJ.n almost two hundred pilgrims as we make our way to Walsingham. To make this Pilgrimage is to take part in a great act of faith. It is to be reminded of the Pilgrimage through time and eternity, through life and death to God, which we all make. Thousands of Christians go to Walsingham every year, united in their devotion to the Son of Mary. In Walsingham, in this holy place, we see something of the power of prayer. To be a pilgrim at Walsingham is to be vividly reminded of the wonderful thing that happened in Mary's house at Nazareth when the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, full of Grace and Truth. God became Man, born of the Blessed Virgin. Walsingham stands to honour and proclaim this central fact of the Incarnation of the Son of God. SUMMER HOLIDAYS.

The trip to Tenby was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who came (and this year the bus was full). The usual faultless organisation was, for once, complemented by faultless weather. Our thanks for both! HAVE YOU BEEN SAVED? On St Margaret's Day Gwilym Williams asked us the similar question "Do you believe that you are going to go to Heaven?" I'1any people were not able to answer "Yes''. Their difficulties may have been because they felt that they do not deserve to go to Heaven - that they are not good enough. Today's readings point not to our unworthiness but to God's generosity, to His desire that we should be at peace with Him. Zacchaeus found a place in God's presence because he welcomed Jesus into his life - not because he made restitution. It was his faith that brought him peace and salvation. Only then did he find the strength to change his life. ROATH CHURCH HOUSE COMMITTEE Meeting is changed from Tuesday to Monday this week.

Matthew, Mark and Luke all record this important occasion in the life of Jesus. Only Luke tells us why Jesus went up the mountain. He went there to pray. Luke often reminds us of Jesus's need to pray. This was a critical moment in His ministry. He had just revealed His destiny to His disciples and He was about to 'set His face to go to Jerusalem' - to move decisively towards His inevitable sacrifice for us. So He went up the mountain to pray. As He prayed He was bathed in the glory and approval of His Father and His place as the Messiah in the line of Old Testament prophecy was confirmed by the presence of the great prophets Moses and Elijah. OUR THANKS to Rohert Thorne, for ~eputising on the organ at both of our Services today. COFFEE will be served in the vestry after the Eucharist this morning.

CURSILLO WEEKENDS. Cursillo is a ''short course" in Christian living, an idea originating in Spain. So far, thirty weekends have been held at the Loreto Centre in Llandudno, for over 500 people from different parts of Britain. It is an international movement for the renewal of the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches, and it can also be adapted to suit other denominations of Christ's Church. Our Archbishop commends it and writes "It emphasises that spiritual renewal and mission go hand in hand. It has already brought many people to life through spiritual renewal and through the rediscovery of what is fundamental to Christian living. Since it works through Church structure, it has helped laity to recommit themselves to the vows of Baptism and Confirmation." Forthcoming weekends: 24th/27th August, 23rd/26th November.

In the collect for today, we express our commitment to the promise that Jesus made that 'if you ask anything in my name, I will do it.' This is a promise which is an important challenge to every Christian. What expectations can we have that you will grant us these 'things which we ask faithfully, we may obtain effectually through Jesus Christ?' Only by praying with the mind of Christ, by letting Him open our ears and listening to Him. His faith, His perfection did not prevent His suffering. Nor will it prevent ours. Why and when God heals, we do not know. What we do know is that His strength and His comfort are ours always. Just as Jesus descended into hell for our salvation, so He is present for our comfort and strength when we are in the private hell of our own suffering. OUR THANKS to those who "kept things going" so well last Sunday, in the absence of so many of our "regulars". The younger members of the Church merit special mention, particularly the servers, and Robert Thorne who did so well on the organ. NOTICE FROM ROATH CHURCH HOUSE COHMITTEE.

In today's collect we pray for God to increase in us ''true religionn. What does that mean? Micah puts it very succinctly in the first reading, "What does the Lord require of you but tQ do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?" That may be succinct but it certainly isn't easy. We can get so bogged down in the practice not to mention the complications of daily life. It is impossible without God's help. As the Psalmist says "Make me a clean heart, 0 God: and renew a right spirit within me." We have to rely on Him. JESUS.CHRIST SUPERSTAR will be performed by St Edward's Choir and friends, at the end of October. At pr~sent, three performances are planned: the afternoon of 21st, and the evenings of 27th and 28th.

Evensong will be sung at 6.30 p.m. FAITH HOPE AND CHARITY. In our collect today we pray for "the increase of faith, hope and charity." This is worth thinking about. So often we think of our faith, hope and charity (or love) as being ours - poor things but our own. Our own very poor things indeed but, thanks be to God, we do not have to depend on our own strength. Paul makes it quite clear that they are gifts from God. So we do not have ·to depend on ourselves. Can we produce enough faith to combat the materialism of the world; enough hope to reject the cynicism of the unbeliever; enough love to overcome the selfishness of the world? God will give us the strength if we ask for it. PARISH MAGAZINE.

Nine of them however got no further than that. As the rich fool in Luke 12, verse 16 and the clever steward in Luke 16, verse 1, they saw life only in terms of the present and the material. The exception was the 'foreigner' who came back to express his thanks - now he was a Samaritan. His action says something to us about our recognition of 'all the benefits he has done unto me, 1 and about our own need to give thanks.

The choice we all have to make is between what is 'hurtful' -Mammon- and what is 'profitable' - God, and so a great deal depends on our order of priorities. Jesus does not say that food and clothing are unimportant; what He does teach is the danger of becoming so concerned with our physical lives as to miss the whole point of living - to know God and His Kingdom - therefore He left us with the only commandment necessary to love God with our whole being and our neighbours as ourselves ....

Someone once said, 'It is easier to die for one's faith than it is to live for it.' In a sense this is true. Choosing to die for one's faith would be a hard decision but one would have to make it only once, in a moment of great resolve. Living for one's faith is harder because it is a resolve that we have to make every day, in fact every moment. Jesus does not make it any easier for us when he tells us in today's Gospel that our faith is not something that we can hide in our hearts; we must show it in our lives. Our love of God has meaning only in as much as we show that love in action in our lives. P.C.C. will meet on Monday, beginning with a Eucharist, 7 p.m. in St Margaret's.

'People who need people are the luckiest people in the world' so the words of a song go .... Truly we all need people.

We know that the food on our table did not simply appear; someone put it there. In the church we are called among other things to show forth this inter-relatedness of all life •.• and above all our need of God, his love and grace. At our Harvest celebrations, give thanks for all that God has given us, and above all for each other.

To stay at home Christians, those dull, prissy paragons as the prodigals rnight call them, who complain that they have always done what they should have, but have no bright lights in their lives, the Father of the parable is saying, 'If you happen to be in the older brother's shoes, give thanks every day for the blessing you so lightly take for granted, and be grateful that you have escaped the heartache and hopelessness of your prodigal contemporaries.' To modern prodigals the Father is saying, 'You have chosen your freedom, and I am still here waiting to welcome you back.' The truth of this parable is that behind it is an eternal and holy Father (who is God) waiting for us full of love and compassion. As St Augustine said (he was a prodigal too) 'Our hearts will be restless until they find rest in him (God)'. OBERAMfvlERGAU.

This story which is the Gospel reading today has two slight differences in the two Gospel accounts where it is recorded. In Matthew we are told that the centurion came to Jesus himself; in Luke, a deputation of Jewish elders came speaking very highly of the centurion. A centurion in the Roman Army was the one in charge of a hundred men. This centurion, like many other Gentiles (non-Jews), had great respect for the Jewish Faith, but would feel that Jesus would not wish to enter a Gentile house. Thus he likens Christ's power over the spiritual world to his own in the material world, and he is sure that Christ can heal his servant without seeing him. Jesus is amazed at his faith. Compare what Christ said in Nazareth about Elijah, Elisha and Gentiles (Luke 4, 24-27). JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.

Those words 'happy' (perhaps 'joyous' would be better) and 'prosperous' mean something quite different to us as Christians. Our joy is not sornething transient that depends on our mood or that we experience only in the good times, nor is ;our prosperity a measure of our n1aterial wealth. For us to prosper means to grow richer, yes, but richer in our joyous relationship with the Living God, to welcome Him ever more readily into the heart of our lives. Advent should be special for us as we prepare ourselves for the sacrament of Christmas, for the remembrance of the coming of Christ into our world. So have a prayerful and thoughtful Advent. CHRISTINGLE at 3 p.m. this afternoon, at St Teilo's School, on behalf of The Children's Society.

ADVE:!JT 3. Today we pray for the winistry of the Church. All too often we think only of those who have a vocation to the ordained ministry of the Church and fail to recognise that we all have a vocation - we are all called to a ministry in the name of Jesus Christ. As we prepare to remember with joy the first coming into the world of our Lord Jesus Christ it is fitting that we remember the charge that he gave his Church, us, as he ascended - to bring all nations to him. In this we all have a part in bringing him into the world for those around us. Modesty, or a lack of

1 confidence 1 may lead us to say, like l'1oses 1 'not me Lord' but if we truly intend to follow where he leads then it is not what I feel capable of doing that counts: it is what he wants. 'Not my will but thine, Lord'.

OUR COLLEs:_:riONS~ODAY are given to the Bishop's l~ppeal to finance training to the Ordained Ministry. A letter from the Bishop will be read at our Eucharist today. CHOIR Pf

SEVENTY--FIVE Y~ARS. In iVIarch 1990, we celebrate 75 years of worship on this site. The first Service took place in the old St Edward's in March 1915. To mark this occasion, several events are being planned throughout the year. The first is the concert by Cardiff Police Choir, on St Valentine's Day (14th February). In March (the date will be announced shortly) St Edward's Choir will give a performance of Haydn's "Nelson" Hass. Details of other events are being finalised, and it is hoped that a provisional programme will be available shortly. Anyone interested in organising or taking part in an event, please have a word with Alan Mayer or Philip ~hlliams. OFFER!ORY ENVELOPES are available at the back of the Church. If you have not yet received yours, please look for them there, or see Mr Philip Williams. If you would like to consider covenanting your contributions (whereby the Church receives an extra 33p for every £1 you pay), please have a word with Alan ~ayer. The beginning of the New Year is a suitable time to consider increasiny contributions (at least in line with inflation) - if you already covenant, it is a very simple matter to adjust the amount (Alan Mayer and Philip Williams have the relevant form).
