We welcome back our Cathedral Choirs after the half term break New worshippers are especially welcome and are invited to make themselves known to the clergy Sunday 5 November 2017: SUNDAY OF DYFRIG, TEILO & EUDDOGWY (Kingdom 1: Trinity 21) Collect Almighty and eternal God, you have kindled the flame of love in the hearts of the saints: grant to us the same faith and power of love, that, as we rejoice in their triumphs, we may be sustained by their example and fellowship; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, to whom with you and the Holy Spirit, be the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
A reading from the Book of the Prophet Micah Micah 3. 5 – 12 Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who lead my people astray, who cry ‘Peace’ when they have something to eat, but declare war against those who put nothing into their mouths. Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision and darkness to you, without revelation. The sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be black over them; the seers shall be disgraced, and the diviners put to shame; they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God. But as for me, I am filled with power, with the spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin. Hear this, you rulers of the house of Jacob and chiefs of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and pervert all equity, who build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with wrong! Its rulers give judgement for a bribe, its priests teach for a price, its prophets give oracles for money; yet they lean upon the Lord and say, ‘Surely the Lord is with us! No harm shall come upon us.’ Therefore because of you Zion shall be ploughed as a field; Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the house a wooded height. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Psalm 43 1 Give judgement for me O God, and defend my cause against the ungodly people: O deliver me from the deceitful and wicked man. 2 For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee: and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me? 3 O send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me: and bring me unto thy holy hill and to thy dwelling, 4 That I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness: and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God my God. 5 Why art thou so full of heaviness O my soul: and why art thou so disquieted with in me? 6 O put thy trust in God: for I will yet give him thanks, who is the help of my countenance, and my God.
A reading from Paul’s First Letter to the Thessalonians 1 Thessalonians 2. 9 – 13 You remember our labour and toil, brothers and sisters; we worked night and day, so that we might not burden any of you while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. You are witnesses, and God also, how pure, upright, and blameless our conduct was towards you believers. As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, urging and encouraging you and pleading that you should lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. We also constantly give thanks to God for this, that when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word but as what it really is, God’s word, which is also at work in you believers. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to Saint Matthew. Matthew 24. 1 – 14 Glory to you, O Lord. As Jesus came out of the temple and was going away, his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. Then he asked them, ‘You see all these, do you not? Truly I tell you, not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.’ When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Beware that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, “I am the Messiah!” and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth pangs.’ ‘Then they will hand you over to be tortured and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of my name. Then many will fall away, and they will betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because of the increase of lawlessness, the love of many will grow cold. But anyone who endures to the end will be saved. And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world, as a testimony to all the nations; and then the end will come.’ This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ. HYMNS AT THE 11AM CHORAL EUCHARIST
THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN
'The kingdom is upon you!' the voice of Jesus cries, fulfilling with its message the wisdom of the wise; it lightens with fresh insight the striving human mind, creating new dimensions of purpose for mankind.
'God's kingdom is upon you!' the message sounds today, it summons every pilgrim to take the questing way, with eyes intent on Jesus, our leader and our friend, who trod faith's road before us, and trod it to the end.
The kingdom is upon us! Stirred by the Spirit's breath, we glory in its freedom from emptiness and death; we celebrate its purpose, its mission and its goal, alive with the conviction that Christ can make us whole.
Words: Robert Andrew Willis (b.1947) Music: WOLVERCOTE William Harold Ferguson (1874-1950)
OFFERTORY HYMN
Brother, sister, let me serve you; let me be as Christ to you; pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too.
We are pilgrims on a journey, and companions on the road; we are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.
I will hold the Christlight for you in the nighttime of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.
I wil weep when you are weeping; when you laugh I'll laugh with you; I will share your joy and sorrow, till we've seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony, born of all we've known together of Christ's love and agony.
Brother, sister, let me serve you; let me be as Christ to you; pray thatl may have the grace to let you be my servant too.
Words: Richard A. M. Gillard (b.1953) Music: SERVANT SONG Melody by Richard A. M. Gillard (b.1953) arranged by Betty Pulkingham (b.1928)
POST COMMUNION HYMN
Judge eternal, throned in splendour, Lord of lords, and King of kings, with thy living fire of judgement purge this realm of bitter things; solace all its wide dominion with the healing of thy wings.
Still the weary folk are pining for the hour that brings release; and the city's crowded clangour cries aloud for sin to cease; and the homesteads and the woodlands plead in silence for their peace.
Crown, O God, thine own endeavour; cleave our darkness with thy sword, feed the faithless and the hungry with the richness of thy word; cleanse the body of this nation through the glory of the Lord.
Words: Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) Music: RHUDDLAN Musical Relicks of Welsh Bards (1794)

The Saints of Llandaff Saturday 11 November 2017: Prebendal House, Llandaff Cathedral Since 2013, a team based at the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies in Aberystwyth has been editing and translating medieval Welsh poetry addressed to saints in Wales and the Lives of Welsh saints. A second phase of the project, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, is working on new editions and translations of Latin Lives of Welsh saints, including the saints’ Lives found in the twelfth century book of Llandaff, which include traditions about Dyfrig (Dubricius), Teilo and Euddogwy, who were adopted as patrons of Llandaff Cathedral. Members of the project team will be giving talks about these saints in the afternoon of 11 November in Prebendal House, Llandaff. There is no charge for the talks, which will begin at 2.00, but if you would like to come please let the organisers know by contacting: [email protected]. There will also be an exhibition about saints in Wales on display in the cathedral for those who want to find out more about the work of the project in their own time. One of the talks will be held in the cathedral, looking at some of the images of saints in sculpture and stained glass. Speakers: Professor Paul Russell and Dr Ben Guy (University of Cambridge) Dr David Parsons and Dr Martin Crampin (University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies) Next Sunday: 12th November 2017 (Remembrance Sunday)
