ALL SAINTS' DAY November 1, 2020 Prelude: the Word of the Lord ALL SAINTS’ DAY November 1, 2020 Prelude: The Word of the Lord Presider: Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. People: And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and forever. Amen. Presider: Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: 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 All: Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. The Collect of the Day Presider: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Presider: Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. A reading from Revelation 21:1-6 Then I (John) saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “Look! God’s dwelling is here with humankind. He will dwell with them, and they will be his peoples. God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more. There will be no mourning, crying, or pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” 5 Then the one seated on the throne said, “Look! I’m making all things new.” He also said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 Then he said to me, “All is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will freely give water from the life-giving spring. Lector: The Word of the Lord People: Thanks be to God Hymn: The Holy Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12 Presider: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew People: Glory to you, Lord Christ Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them. 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Presider: The Gospel of the Lord.. People: Praise to you, Lord Christ. The Sermon All Saints’ Day provides the very unique opportunity for all of us to hear our funeral sermon before we are dead. Because after all, once it comes time for our funeral we aren’t going to be around to hear it. So, kind of like Tom Sawyer, this morning you are going to get a sneak preview. But unlike Tom Sawyer it is not going to be about you, the individual. In other words, the focus is not about what you (the deceased) did in your life as much as it is about what God has done in your death. And I think that is good for us to know now, while we are still breathing, because once we are dead……..well……we are dead. Having been in the priesthood now for forty years, there is one aspect of ministry that still eludes me despite having had considerable practice at it. And that is funerals. Even though every one of us is going to die, it is only rarely (as in almost never) do we plan our funeral service. We always leave it for our mournful loved ones who struggle to know what dad, mom or grandpa wanted. And if the truth be known, I usually end up selecting the readings, hymns and designing the liturgy. So, if you don’t want Onward Christian Soldiers sung at your funeral, you better tell me now. One of the readings I generally select is from Revelation 21 not only because it talks about a new heaven and a new earth and that death, mourning, pain and crying will be no more, but it has God proclaiming that “I am the Alpha and the Omega----the beginning and the end.” Because remember this is about God not you. So, in the beginning (in principio) says John in the first chapter of his gospel which although it is a poem the author is writing, we assume that he is being more than just poetic. When the author says “in the beginning,” we assume he means no less than quite literally before anything yet had been made that was to be made. We assume “in the beginning” means in a time beyond time before creation happened, before Orion and the Pleiades were flung tumbling across the sky into their places, before the Big Bang banged. It was at a time when there was no up and no down, no life and no death, no here and no there------in the beginning there was only God------“I am the Alpha,” the voice announces. I am the Creator. I started it all. And, for the most part, we believe this to be true. But in addition, the voice also tells us that God is not only the beginning but the END. “I am the Alpha AND the Omega, the beginning AND the end.” I was there in the beginning, and I will be there at the end. I took part in your birth, and I will take part----a big part----in your death. And it is here, in our deaths, that I think the Church doesn’t do such a good job at explaining. God is not only the creator of life but also the giver of eternal life. After the credits have rolled-----at the end------God. Trouble is, most people today seem to believe what they believe about “life after death” based on a belief about humanity rather than a belief about God. As an example, I told you that chances are I will be the one selecting your readings for your funeral service. Just about all families yield in this arena. But one area in which they insist on participating is the homily or more accurately the eulogy. A eulogy is a laudatory speech or written tribute especially praising someone who has died. A homily is an abbreviated sermon on a Biblical theme. The two are very different. I have had grieved widows, children and spouses with no public speaking experience volunteer to give a eulogy in front of large crowds of people on behalf of their deceased loved one. They want to read poems, tell interesting anecdotes, attempt humor and provide elaborate media presentations. All wonderful stuff! Wonderful stuff because it comes from their heart and their love for the deceased. But they miss the point. A funeral is not a tribute to the deceased; it is a tribute to God. Certainly, it is about the deceased but only as a vehicle to talk about God, the Omega. You see, funerals are opportunities for us to relate what we believe God does when each of us dies. I have tried this on several occasions only to see displeased looks on people’s faces. Funerals are opportunities to talk about resurrection and new life in God. It is not about grandpa who loved to fish, and how he is now fishing in the big lake in the sky. It is not about the immortality of the individual soul, which each of us possess. It is about new eternal life in God. I am reminded of the story about Lazarus who died and who Jesus raised to life again but after four days. When Jesus asks to be taken to Lazarus’ grave, even Lazarus’ sister Mary questions the wisdom of this move. She comments that he has already been dead for four days, and therefore, he is going to stink pretty badly.

    a l l s a i n t s b h m . o r g S e p t e m b e r 3 , 2 0 2 0 PThAe RISHIONER A publication from All Saints Episcopal Church Reclaim Church at Home by The Rev. Mary Bea Sullivan Jesus’ earliest followers gathered in homes to proclaim the good news of his salvation, share stories of his life, break bread, and bolster one another in the faith. We find examples of house church gatherings in Acts 12 and 16, Romans 16, Colossians 4, and the book of Philemon. These first followers of The Way met in homes because it could be dangerous for them to openly proclaim their faith, and they were not recognized as a state-sanctioned religion therefore unable to own property.[1] We might conjure notions of meals in middle class homes such as we know, but that was not the case. There was no middle class. Most people lived in small, cramped, multi-story apartments.[2] In one instance, we learn of Eutychus falling asleep and out the window, while Paul preached well into the night (Acts 19:9). This probably happened in one of those tiny apartments. What was it like in those early house churches? There must have been some element of fear and excitement. Disagreements were plenty. We know the Word of God spread from house to house—fueled by the flames of Pentecost and the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We owe a great debt to those early worshippers, because they paved the way for us today.

  • Saints Alive Fall 2019 Special 125Th Anniversary Issue
    SAINTS a special edition looking at the rich historyAlive! of All Saints Brookline Volume 21, Number 4 Fall 2019 1 Rector’s Reflection Have you seen the Hereford stone? When our church building was under construction, Daniel Dulaney Addison, our first rector, visited Hereford, England, where he was given a stone from the original Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Ethelbert, built in the 11th century. It was placed in the outer wall of the Resting Chapel, where it remains. It’s a remarkable and tangible reminder of the incredible long story we are a part of: the story of God’s never-failing love. A story that continues to be lived out across the globe. As I live and work in this community, I am constantly humbled and amazed by the works of faith undertaken by this community, both now and in the past. I am heartened by the rock-solid faith of women and men throughout time who live mostly ordinary lives of joy and tragedy, of faith and struggle; who, in all kinds of circumstances, gather together to break bread, share the cup, and move forward in hope. As we pause this year to look back with gratitude at our first 125 years, and imagine with hope what our next 125 might be, I give thanks for all that has brought us safely thus far, and for you who are even now writing the next chapter of the story. May we be found to be as durable, and as faithful as our Hereford stone. In peace, Richard+ From the Editor Marianne Evett In 1894, a group of 24 Episcopalians began meeting to worship at the Beaconsfield Casino in northwest Brookline and petitioned Bishop Lawrence to start a church.

  • A SCREENTIME Production for ABC TV They Know the Law Backwards
    A SCREENTIME production for ABC TV They know the law backwards … … but they have a lot to learn about life! As at 30.7.11 Delving into the extraordinary world of the Department of Public Prosecutions and its young eager lawyers, CROWNIES is the new 22 x 1 hour drama produced by SCREENTIME Australia for ABC TV. CROWNIES follows five young solicitors, as they face the pressures and endearing madness of modern single life - in a fast paced workplace that highlights the moral dilemmas and big issues facing an apparently civilized society. In a world that exists solely to see ‘wrong-doers’ brought to justice, and where the average age of the solicitors is 27, there is a big divide between these young solicitors and the barristers at the top. Yet they are the initial point of contact with the police, and it is they who do most of the liaising with the victims and the witnesses - and recommend what goes to court. They are committed, idealistic and hard-working, but their lives away from the office are riddled with aspirations, explorations, fragile relationships and partying. A SCREENTIME production for ABC TV Page 2 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Currently in production, the outstanding ensemble cast includes Todd Lasance (Cloudstreet, Underbelly Files – Tell Them Lucifer Was Here, Rescue Special Ops, Home & Away) Hamish Michael (Spirited, City Homicide, Lucky Miles); Ella Scott Lynch (City Homicide, All Saints, The Falls); Andrea Demetriades (Bell Shakespeare Company, All Saints) and Indiana Evans (A Model Daughter: The Killing of Caroline Byrne, H2O
