Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem. Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet. Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon them. Thou art worthy to praised, O God, in Zion, and to thee shall prayer be offered in Jerusalem.

Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. GREETING President Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you, All and also with you. The CONFESSION ¶Remain Standing Assistant Let us confess to God the sins and shortcomings of the world; its pride, its selfishness, its greed; its evil divisions and hatreds. Let us confess our share in what is wrong, and our failure to seek and establish that peace which God wills for his children. All Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we have sinned against you and against our neighbour, in thought and word and deed, through negligence, through weakness, through our own deliberate fault. We are truly sorry, and repent of all our sins. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen. The President says the ABSOLUTION: President Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. The COLLECT President The Lord be with you, All and also with you. President Almighty Father, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of all: govern the hearts and minds of those in authority, and bring the families of the nations, divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin, to be subject to his just and gentle rule; who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. All Amen. The EPISTLE Romans 8 vv. 31–39 ¶Sit Read by Major General A.A. Milton CB OBE, Royal Marines What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not withhold his own Son, but gave him up for all of us, will he not with him also give us everything else? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? It is Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, ‘For your sake we are being killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. For the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God The GRADUAL PSALM Psalm 130 is sung: 1. Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord : Lord, hear my voice. 2. O let thine ears consider well : the voice of my complaint. 3. If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss : O Lord, who may abide it? 4. For there is mercy with thee : therefore shalt thou be feared. 5. I look for the Lord; my soul doth wait for him : in his word is my trust. 6. My soul fleeth unto the Lord : before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch. 7. O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy : and with him is plenteous redemption. 8. And he shall redeem Israel : from all his sins. tone iv The GOSPEL John 15 vv. 9–17 ¶Stand Please stand as the Gospel Procession moves from the Chancel. The GOSPEL is announced: Gospeller Hear the holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Saint John. All Glory to you, O Lord. Jesus said to his disciples. ‘As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. ‘This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another’. Gospeller This is the Gospel of the the Lord. All Praise to you, O Christ. The ADDRESS ¶Sit The Rev’d Carol Barrett Ford The Chaplain The ACT OF REMEMBRANCE ¶Stand President Let us remember before God, and commend to his sure keeping those who have died for their country in war; those whom we knew, and whose memory we treasure; and all who have lived and died in the service of the world. Here follows the SILENCE The Anthem shall be sung by the Choir: FOR THE FALLEN They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old: age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. Words Laurence Binyon Music Douglas Guest (1869–1943) (1916–1996) President Almighty and eternal God, from whose love in Christ we cannot be parted, either by death or life: Hear our prayers and thanksgivings for all whom we remember this day; fulfil in them the purpose of your love; and bring us all, with them, to your eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION ¶Kneel or Sit After each prayer this bidding and response is used: Intercessor Lord, in your mercy All hear our prayer. The INTERCESSIONS conclude with: Merciful Father, All accept these prayers for the sake of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. The PEACE ¶Stand President Jesus said: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives, do I give unto you. President The peace of the Lord be always with you, All and also with you. Assistant Let us offer one another a sign of peace. All may exchange a sign of peace. The OFFERTORIUM is sung: ¶Sit Domine Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae, libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum de poenis inferni, et de profundo lacu. Libera eas de ore leonis, ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum. Sed signifer sanctus Michael repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam, quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus. Hostias et preces tibi Domine laudis offerimus, tu suscipe pro animabus illis, quarum hodie memoriam facimus; fac eas, Domine, de morte transire ad vitam. Quam olim Abrahae promisisti et semini ejus. Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and from the deep waters. Deliver them from the mouth of the lion; let hell not swallow them, let them not fall into darkness. Let St Michael the standard-bearer conduct them to the holy light, which of old you promised to Abraham and his seed. Sacrifices and prayers of praise we offer you, O Lord; accept them for those souls whom we commemorate today. Make them pass, O Lord, from death to life. Which of old you promised to Abraham and his seed. The PRAYER OF CONSECRATION ¶Stand President The Lord be with you, All and also with you. President Lift up your hearts: All we lift them to the Lord. President Let us give thanks to the Lord our God: All it is right to give thanks and praise. President Father, we give you thanks and praise through your beloved Son Jesus Christ, your living Word, through whom you have created all things; who was sent by you in your great goodness to be our Saviour.

  • R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines
    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines This year in the Religious Education Program we are re-instituting Prayer Requirements for each grade level. Please review the prayers required to be memorized, recited from text, \understood, or experienced for the grade that you are teaching (see p. 1) Each week, please take some class time to work on these prayers so that the R.E. students are able not only to recite the prayers but also to understand what they are saying and/or reading. The Student Sheet (p. 2) will need to be copied for each of your students, the student’s name placed on the sheet, and grid completed for each of the prayers they are expected to know, or understand, or recite from text, or experience. You may wish to assign the Assistant Catechist or High School Assistant to work, individually, with the students in order to assess their progress. We will be communicating these prayer requirements to the parents of your students, and later in the year, each student will take their sheet home for their parents to review their progress. We appreciate your assistance in teaching our youth to know their prayers and to pray often to Jesus… to adore God, to thank God, to ask God’s pardon, to ask God’s help in all things, to pray for all people. Remind your students that God always hears our prayers, but He does not always give us what we ask for because we do not always know what is best for others or ourselves. “Prayer is the desire and attempt to communicate with God.” Remember, no prayer is left unanswered!

  • A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
    A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.

  • Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 P.M
    OUR VISION: A world where people experience God’s love and are made whole. OUR MISSION: To share the love of Jesus through compassion, inclusivity, creativity and learning. Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 p.m. Evensong Thursday in the Eleventh Week after Pentecost • 9 August 2018 • 5:15 pm Welcome to Grace Cathedral. Choral Evensong marks the end of the working day and prepares for the approaching night. The roots of this service come out of ancient monastic traditions of Christian prayer. In this form, it was created by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 16th century, as part of the simplification of services within the newly-reformed Church of England. The Episcopal Church, as part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, has inherited this pattern of evening prayer. In this service we are invited to reflect on the business of the past day, to pray for the world and for ourselves, and to commend all into God’s hands as words of Holy Scripture are said and sung. The beauty of the music is offered to help us set our lives in the light of eternity; the same light which dwelt among us in Jesus, and which now illuminates us by the Spirit. May this service be a blessing to you. Voluntary Canzonetta William Mathias The people stand as the procession enters. The Invitatory and Psalter Opening Sentence Said by the officiant.

  • Pilgrimage Processions, Religious Sensibilities and Piety in the City Of
    Pilgrimage Processions, Religious Sensibilities and Piety in the City of Acre in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem Peregrinaciones, sensibilidades religiosas y piedad en la ciudad de Acre del Reino latino de Jerusalén Peregrinações, sensibilidades religiosas e piedade na cidade de Acre do Reino Latino de Jerusalém Shlomo LOTAN1 Resumen: Después de la caída de Jerusalén en 1187, Acre se convirtió en la capital formal de la cruzada de la cristiandad. Durante el siglo XIII, se convirtió en lugar de peregrinaje para los cristianos, quienes, a su vez, enriquecieron la ciudad con las ceremonias religiosas que aportaron. Esta procesión se ha denominado Perdón de Acre y ha contribuido notablemente al entendimiento que hoy tenemos de los lugares religiosos y de los grupos militares situados en la Acre franca. Es por ello que en este ensayo pretendo revisitar estos eventos para aportar nueva luz a la comprensión de los lugares religiosos, peregrinaciones y grupos militares que participaron en tan señalado momento. Palabras clave: Cruzadas – Reino latino de Jerusalén – Acre – Peregrinación – Órdenes militares – Hospitalarios – Templarios – Orden Teutónica. Abstract: After the fall of Jerusalem in 1187, Acre became the formal capital of the Crusader Kingdom. During the 13th century, it became a pilgrimage site for many Christian pilgrims, who enriched the city with their religious ceremonies. Such as a procession called the Pardon d'Acre, which contributed greatly to our understanding of the religious places and military compounds in Frankish Acre. In this essay, I link the religious ceremonies that took place in Acre with the passages among the locations mentioned therein. All these contributed to the revival of the historical and religious space in medieval Acre.

Superior General Within our Family, we often cite the saying of St. Vincent: “Love is creative even to infinity.”1 Ordinarily, we use this citation to motivate others to be creative pastorally, to respond to new forms of poverty, to be inventive in new formation programs for lay leaders and for the clergy, to investigate ways of rooting out the causes of poverty. But apt as this rhetorical use of Vincent’s words might be, their actual context was quite different. They refer to the institution of the Eucharist.

  • Indulgences for the Poor Souls
    Indulgences for the Poor Souls November is dedicated to the Holy Souls. From November 1 to November 8, inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to Poor Souls in Purgatory, is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed, provided the usual conditions are met. On November 2, All Souls Day, a plenary indulgence for Poor Souls will be granted to those who visit any parish church or public oratory and there recite one Our Father and one Credo. Only one plenary indulgence may be granted each day. The usual conditions to acquire a plenary indulgence are: 1. detachment from sin; which is a true sorrow for, and repudiation of, all one’s sin, mortal and venial; 2. reception of Holy Communion on the day the indulgence is sought; 3. prayer for the intention of the Holy Father on the day the indulgence is sought (one Our Father and one Hail Mary suffice, or any other suitable prayer); 4. sacramental confession within a week of completion of the prescribed work. If these conditions are not met, the indulgence will be partial. Several plenary indulgences may be granted on the basis of a single sacramental confession, but only one plenary indulgence may be gained on the basis of a single Holy Communion and prayer for the pope’s intentions. Partial indulgences are granted to those who recite Lauds or Vespers of the Office of the Dead, and to those who recite the Eternal Rest Prayer provided below. A partial indulgence may be granted more than once a day.
