Processional Hymn 330 O Praise Ye the Lord - Laudate Dominum The Greeting The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. And also with you. Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. Gloria Woodlands Glory to God, we give you thanks and praise; of heavenly joy and earthly peace we sing, We worship you, to you our hearts we raise, Lord God, Almighty Father, heavenly King. Lord Jesus Christ, the Father's only Son, you bore for us the load of this world's sin. O Lamb of God, your glorious victory won, receive our prayer, grant us your peace within. Alone, O Christ, you only are the Lord, at God's right hand, in majesty most high: who, with the Spirit worshiped and adored, with all the heavenly host we glorify. The Collect Eternal God, you have ordained and constituted in a wonderful order the ministries of angels and mortals. Grant that as your holy angels stand before you in heaven, so at your command they may help and defend us here on earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. The Congregation is seated The Proclamation of the Word The First Lesson A reading from Genesis Jacob left Beer-sheba and went towards Haran. He came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place. And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And the Lord stood beside him and said, ‘I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring; and your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your offspring. Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.’ Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place—and I did not know it!’ And he was afraid, and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.’ Genesis 28:10-17 Hear how the Spirit speaks to the Church. Thanks be to God. Psalm 103:19-22 see back page of green-colored insert Deuxième Lecture du livre de l’Apocalypse Alors, il y eut une bataille dans le ciel: Michel et ses Anges combattirent le Dragon. Et le Dragon riposta, avec ses Anges, mais ils eurent le dessous et furent chassés du ciel. On le jeta donc, l'énorme Dragon, l'antique Serpent, le Diable ou le Satan, comme on l'appelle, le séducteur du monde entier, on le jeta sur la terre et ses Anges furent jetés avec lui. Et j'entendis une voix clamer dans le ciel: "Désormais, la victoire, la puissance et la royauté sont acquises à notre Dieu, et la domination à son Christ, puisqu'on a jeté bas l'accusateur de nos frères, celui qui les accusait jour et nuit devant notre Dieu. Mais eux l'ont vaincu par le sang de l'Agneau et par la parole dont ils ont témoigné, car ils ont méprisé leur vie jusqu'à mourir. Soyez donc dans la joie, vous, les cieux et leurs habitants. Malheur à vous, la terre et la mer, car le Diable est descendu chez vous, frémissant de colère et sachant que ses jours sont comptés." Apocalypse 12:7-12 Écoutez ce que l’Ésprit dit à l’Église. Nous rendons grâce à Dieu. Gradual Hymn 535 As Jacob with Travel was Weary - Jacob’s Ladder All stand The Gospel The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said of him, ‘Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!’ Nathanael asked him, ‘Where did you come to know me?’ Jesus answered, ‘I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.’ Nathanael replied, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.’ And he said to him, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.’ John 1:47-51 The Gospel of Christ. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Sermon The Rev. Dr. Terry Hidichuk The Summary of the Law Hear the teaching of Christ: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And a second is this: You shall love your neighbour as yourself. Sunday School Litany responses Adoration: Let’s praise God together by saying “God, you’re so amazing!” Thanksgiving: Let’s thank God together by saying “O God, we thank you.” Petition: Let’s bring our requests to God together by saying “God, hear our prayer.” Confession and Absolution God our Creator gives us our hands to do good with. But when we use them to do wrong, he is ready to forgive us, and help us to do better. Let us look at our hands for a moment, and think how we do use them, and how we might use them for good. Let us ask God to forgive us for using our hands to be unfair to others or to hurt them, to hold things to ourselves instead of sharing your gifts, to cover our mouths instead of speaking in love. God, I am looking at my hands. Help me to see them as you do. Forgive me for when I do not use them in the way that you made them to be used. When I am angry, help me not to hurt. When I am frightened, help me to reach out for help. When I am tempted to be greedy, help me to be generous instead. Lord, teach me to use my hands to do good in your world. Amen. Let us wash our hands together, to symbolise God's forgiveness. bowls of water and towels are passed through the congregation When all have washed their hands, the Celebrant says Loving God, we come to you with all our potential but having made mistakes, having done wrong in what we do and what we hold back from doing. You wipe clean our hands and show us that we can start fresh. Your gentle words forgive us when we do wrong. Let us learn from you so that we can forgive those who hurt, betray, or ignore us. Holy God, we come before you ready for a new start. Help us to accept your forgiveness and to rejoice in your everlasting mercy. Fill our hands with your love, so that we can pass it on to the whole world. We ask all this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. The Peace Blessed are the Peacemakers. They shall be called children of God. We meet in the name of Christ to share his peace. The Peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you. Parish Announcements see green-colored insert The Celebration of the Eucharist Offertory Motet Factum est silentium - Richard Dering (1580-1630) There was silence in heaven whilst the dragon joined battle with the Archangel Michael.

Offertory Hymn 320 Ye Watchers and Ye Holy Ones - Lasst uns Erfreuen Prayer over the Gifts God of glory, as you have appointed angels to minister in your presence, so may all our worship bring you worthy praise. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Great Thanksgiving The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. Lord of all life, you created the universe, where all living things reflect your glory. You give us this great and beautiful earth, to discover and to cherish.

  • HOLY NAME of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST January 1
    SAINT ANDREW THE APOSTLE November 30 A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans (10:8b-18) But what does it say? “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all have obeyed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ. But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” The Word of the Lord Psalm 19:1-6 The heavens declare the glory of God.

  • Help Us Choose a New Name for Our Parish!
    Help Us Choose A New Name for Our Parish!

  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

  • Reverend Fathers, Distinguished Guests, My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It Is a Pleasure to Join with You Today As We Gather for This Diocesan
    Homily for the Diocesan Healthcare Convocation Mass Feast of Saint Matthias, Apostle Saint Viator Chapel Catholic Pastoral Center Springfield, Illinois May 14, 2019 Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois Reverend Fathers, distinguished guests, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is a pleasure to join with you today as we gather for this Diocesan Healthcare Convocation Mass on this Feast of the Apostle, Saint Matthias. Moreover, during this National Hospital Week, it is fitting that that we should come together to give thanks and praise to the Lord for the many blessings that he has bestowed upon us and to pray for those whom you serve in your roles as healthcare professionals here in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. Just a few moments ago we heard in our first reading that, during the days after the Ascension, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers, about 120 of Jesus’ followers. Since Judas had betrayed our Lord, it was necessary, Peter said, to fulfill the scriptural recommendation that another should take his office. 2 So they nominated two men, one of whom was Matthias. We might ask, though: what qualified Matthias to his place among the twelve? Obviously, he was suited for apostleship by the experience of being with Jesus from His baptism to His ascension. Additionally, he must also have been suited personally, or he would not have been nominated for such a great responsibility. Saint John Chrysostom wrote in a homily he gave on the Acts of the Apostles, that “one of these must be made a witness along with us of his resurrection.

  • The Apostle Paul As a Bible Student I Have Come to Understand the Incredible Importance of Paul
    The Saint Matthias Messenger Published Monthly Volume 16 Issue 6 - June 2019 The Apostle Paul As a Bible student I have come to understand the incredible importance of Paul. He probably had more to do with the spread of the gospel than anyone else in the history of Christianity. Yet most of us know or care little about him. I hope to do my part, as I did recently in a sermon, to enlighten those within the influence of our church about this most important historical figure. With that in mind here are a few important bullet Saint Matthias Episcopal Church points. 7056 Washington Avenue Whittier, CA 90602 É Born about 4 BCE and passed away approximately 62 – 64 CE in Rome (562) 698-9741 É Born in Tarsus of Syria as Saul. It was not uncommon in those days for a person to have two names. He was a Greek speaking Jew. Office Hours: É He was born a citizen of Rome. Monday - Friday É Paul worked with his own hands – probably Tent Making. 9:00AM - 4:00PM É Was not a common laborer but probably not wealthy either. É He could read and write which very few people could do. Rector The Rev.
