10.30 – THE EUCHARIST WITH HYMNS Introit Hymn: 473 [Verses 1, 6, 7 and 8]

The Collect of the Day Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: graft in our hearts the love of your name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of your great mercy keep us in the same; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The First Reading Deuteronomy 30, 9-14 And the LORD your God will make you abundantly prosperous in all your undertakings, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your soil. For the LORD will again take delight in prospering you, just as he delighted in prospering your ancestors, when you obey the LORD your God by observing his commandments and decrees that are written in this book of the law, because you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Surely, this commandment that I am commanding you today is not too hard for you, nor is it too far away. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?’ Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?’ No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe. The Reader says: This is the word of the Lord: All: Thanks be to God.

Gradual Psalm, Psalm 25, Verses 1 to 10, said by all together Unto thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul; my God, I have put my trust in thee: O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies triumph over me.

1 For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed: but such as transgress without a cause shall be put to confusion. Shew me thy ways, O Lord: and teach me thy paths. Lead me forth in thy truth, and learn me: for thou art the God of my salvation; in thee hath been my hope all the day long. Call to remembrance, O Lord, thy tender mercies: and thy loving-kindnesses, which have been ever of old. O remember not the sins and offences of my youth: but according to thy mercy think thou upon me, O Lord, for thy goodness. Gracious and righteous is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. Them that are meek shall he guide in judgement: and such as are gentle, them shall he learn his way. [testimonies. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth: unto such as keep his covenant, and his For thy Name's sake, O Lord: be merciful unto my sin, for it is great.

The Second Reading Colossians 1, 1-14 The Reader says: A Reading from the First Chapter of the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Colossians. Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ in Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father. In our prayers for you we always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. You have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth, the gospel that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the day you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God. This you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, and he has made known to us your love in the Spirit. For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. The Reader says: This is the word of the Lord: All: Thanks be to God.

Gradual Hymn: 481 [tune 462] – Jesus, Lord, we look to Thee

The Gospel Luke 10, 25-37 Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ He said to him, ‘What is written in the law? What do you read there?’ He answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.’ And he said to him, ‘You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.’ 2 But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’ Jesus replied, ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while travelling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, “Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.” Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?’ He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’

Sermon: The Reverend Canon Sam Corley, Rector-designate and Priest-in-charge

Offertory Hymn: 498 – Son of God, eternal Saviour

The Post Communion Prayer, said by all: Post Communion Prayer: Lord God, whose Son is the true vine and the source of life, ever giving himself that the world may live: may we so receive within ourselves the power of his death and passion that, in his saving cup, we may share his glory and be made perfect in his love; for he is alive and reigns, now and for ever. Amen.

Post-Communion Hymn: 235 – Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go

6.30 – CONGREGATIONAL EVENSONG

Responses: Ferial – in the Congregational Evensong leaflets Office Hymn: 246 [first tune] – Holy Father, cheer our way

Psalm 77, Verses 1 to 12, said by all I will cry unto God with my voice: even unto God will I cry with my voice, and he shall hearken unto me. In the time of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran, and ceased not in the night-season; my soul refused comfort. When I am in heaviness, I will think upon God: when my heart is vexed, I will complain. Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so feeble, that I cannot speak. I have considered the days of old: and the years that are past. I call to remembrance my song: and in the night I commune with mine own heart, and search out my spirits. Will the Lord absent himself for ever: and will he be no more intreated? Is his mercy clean gone for ever: and is his promise come utterly to an end for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious: and will he shut up his loving-kindness in displeasure? And I said, It is mine own infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most Highest. I will remember the works of the Lord: and call to mind thy wonders of old time. I will think also of all thy works: and my talking shall be of thy doings. 3 The First Lesson Genesis 32, 9-30 The Reader says: Here begins the Ninth Verse of the Thirty-Second Chapter of the Book Genesis. And Jacob said, ‘O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who said to me, “Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will do you good”, I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies. Deliver me, please, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him; he may come and kill us all, the mothers with the children. Yet you have said, “I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted because of their number.” ’ So he spent that night there, and from what he had with him he took a present for his brother Esau, two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys. These he delivered into the hand of his servants, each drove by itself, and said to his servants, ‘Pass on ahead of me, and put a space between drove and drove.’ He instructed the foremost, ‘When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, “To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these ahead of you?” then you shall say, “They belong to your servant Jacob; they are a present sent to my lord Esau; and moreover he is behind us.” ’ He likewise instructed the second and the third and all who followed the droves, ‘You shall say the same thing to Esau when you meet him, and you shall say, “Moreover your servant Jacob is behind us.” ’ For he thought, ‘I may appease him with the present that goes ahead of me, and afterwards I shall see his face; perhaps he will accept me.’ So the present passed on ahead of him; and he himself spent that night in the camp. The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, ‘Let me go, for the day is breaking.’ But Jacob said, ‘I will not let you go, unless you bless me.’ So he said to him, ‘What is your name?’ And he said, ‘Jacob.’ Then the man said, ‘You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans, and have prevailed.’ Then Jacob asked him, ‘Please tell me your name.’ But he said, ‘Why is it that you ask my name?’ And there he blessed him. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, ‘For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved.’

The Second Lesson Mark 7, 1-23 The Reader says: Here begins the First Verse of the Seventh Chapter of the Gospel according to Mark. Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that 4 they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, ‘Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?’ He said to them, ‘Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honours me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.” You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.’ Then he said to them, ‘You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition! For Moses said, “Honour your father and your mother”; and, “Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.” But you say that if anyone tells father or mother, “Whatever support you might have had from me is Corban” (that is, an offering to God)— then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother, thus making void the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this.’ Then he called the crowd again and said to them, ‘Listen to me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile.’ When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable. He said to them, ‘Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?’ (Thus he declared all foods clean.) And he said, ‘It is what comes out of a person that defiles. For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.’ The Reader says: Here ends the Second Lesson

7 FOCUS ON : IMAGES OF ST PETER

June 29 was the festival of our patron , St Peter, and although our thoughts were focused elsewhere that day, it brought to mind some of the many images of St Peter to be found around the Minster.

The most magnificent perhaps is Salviati’s on the east wall of the sanctuary where St Peter appears with the rest of the Apostles, all of them carrying their symbols. In the 19th century Antonio Salviati, originally a lawyer, revitalised glassmaking on the Venetian island of Murano where glass makers had worked since early medieval times. Intrigued as to why his did not glisten in the same way the medieval ones in St Mark’s Cathedral, he worked out that the small pieces of glass from which they are made are not laid flat but at very slight angles allowing the glass to catch the light. He copied this as can be seen here when the sanctuary is lit only by candle light. Salviati was also fascinated by colour and the vast range he produced is shown to excellent effect in our wonderful example of his work.

Another very fine image is the painted window of St Peter in the south wall. Painted by C H Schwanfelder in 1809 for the south window of the old church, it was luckily re- used in Hook’s new church of 1841. Peter is in the dress of a Roman senator, perhaps a strange choice as it was the Romans who put him to death. Although repairs make it difficult to see, the window is painted on a series of rectangles forming the whole, in contrast to the stained-glass windows where small, shaped fragments are held together by lead.

The story of Peter’s life and death is told as a sequence of small images in the large window on the south side of the east window. The middle section is 16th-century Flemish glass given as a gift to the new church, and the London glass maker, T Wilmshurst, was asked to create the two side windows to reflect the glorious colours of the older glass, and to depict the life and death of Christ on one side and of St Peter on the other.

Peter appears in many of the other picture windows, but also stands over us as we enter and leave the church. The wooden statue, which stood over the organ in the old church, is thought to date from the 17th century, although his keys were lost and replaced in the 20th- century.

In each of these images St Peter carries a pair of keys, his usual symbol, others being the upside cross on which he was crucified and the cockerel that crowed when he denied Christ. The two keys are usually different shapes, and Salviati has made one gold and the other silver, to represent the keys of Heaven and Hell.

We are surrounded in church by wonderful images of those who have held our faith through history, some biblical, others much nearer to our lives, but all perhaps able to help focus our thoughts at difficult times.
