Sunday 10Th November 2019 Third Sunday Before Advent Sunday 10th November 2019 Third Sunday before Advent (Remembrance Sunday) On Sunday morning I will be standing on the steps of the Guildhall, taking part in the City Council’s Remembrance Sunday Service, concluding with a wreath laying ceremony. It also includes an act of commitment, in which all respond to the question ‘Will you strive for all that makes for peace?’ with the words, ‘We will.’ On such occasions it strikes me that remembrance is never far from regret that it is ever necessary for young men and women to die in times of war. No-one wants to live in a world in which such sacrifice is required. It is clear from human history, however, that achieving reconciliation and peace is extremely difficult. After all, it is usually easier to blame others for violence than to accept that all are in need of forgiveness. When Coventry Cathedral was bombed, Provost Richard Howard wrote, ‘Father forgive’ in the ruins of the building – deliberatively not ‘Father forgive them’. Recognising the humanity of the ‘enemy’ is also difficult. This may be illustrated by a passage from Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front, based on his own experiences as a German soldier in the First World War. In one scene, dramatised in an Oscar winning 1930 film, the central character Paul Baumer stabs a French soldier, and because of intense gunfire is unable to leave his side as the soldier slowly dies. Looking into the face of the dead man, Baumer says to himself: ‘It is only now that I can see that you are a human being like me. I just thought about your hand-grenades, your bayonet, and your weapons – now I can see your wife, and your face and what we have in common. Forgive me, comrade. We always realize too late. Why don’t they keep on reminding us that you are all miserable wretches just like us, that your mothers worry themselves just as much as ours, and that we’re all just as scared of death, and that we die the same way and feel the same pain. Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy?’ The recognition of common humanity, as in this passage, is Biblical through and through, for all people are made in the image of God. Here is the key to building a reconciled and peaceful world that might inform our individual acts of commitment, and so make sure that today is not only about remembrance, but also about ‘striving for all that makes for peace.’ The Very Revd Dr Anthony Cane Dean of Portsmouth Encountering God through transformative worship, challenging discipleship, generous hospitality and prayerful engagement. TODAY Welcome to all those attending Matins for Remembrance Service this morning and our Eucharist Service this evening which is followed by a Remembrance Concert by The Portsmouth Grammar School.

  • “The Attraction of Francis”
    “The Attraction of Francis” extract from Praying with Francis de Sales by THOMAS F. DAILEY, O.S.F.S. © 1997 by Saint Mary’s Press (Winona, MN) In A World Waiting to Be Born, the popular psychologist M. Scott Peck claims in his opening chapter that "Something Is Seriously Wrong" with our modern world. That something, he argues, is the ever-growing phenomenon of "incivility" or being hurtful to others. In this day and age, where the concern for oneself above all others breeds an infectious materialism and a callous disregard for life, the practice of a true civility — the awareness of and intention to be genuinely good to others — is surely lacking, both in our interpersonal relationships and in our societal institutions. Four centuries ago another popular writer, FRANCIS DE SALES (1567-1622) envisioned a world re-born already through the love of God. Francis' vision of this world is founded on a deep appreciation of the love that God has showered upon us through the gifts of creation and human life, particularly in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Francis believed that beauty and goodness are the hallmarks of our world, as gifts born from God's deep and abiding love for each one of us. Enabled and ennobled by this love, we are capable of much more than we might well imagine. We are capable of living a true life of devotion in this world. We are capable of giving birth to a new world. Francis' spirit has permeated the Christian world. His life story, his written treasury, and his religious legacy — all point to the virtuous qualities of a man imbued with the love of God and desirous of sharing that love with all who would seek it.
