LECTIONARY TEXTS FOR TODAY’S CATHEDRAL EUCHARIST

Communicant members of all Christian churches are welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you are not a communicant and would like to receive a blessing, please inform the clergy by bringing this leaflet to the Altar Rail.

COLLECT FOR THE DAY

Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life: raise us, who trust in him, from the death of sin to the life of righteousness, that we may seek those things which are above, where he reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

NEW TESTAMENT READING – Acts 4: 5-12

The next day their rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem, with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and all who were of the

high-priestly family. When they had made the prisoners stand in their midst, they

inquired, ‘By what power or by what name did you do this?’ Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, ‘Rulers of the people and elders, if we are questioned today because of a good deed done to someone who was sick and are asked how this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead. This Jesus is “the stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone.” There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.’

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

PSALM 23

1 The Lord is my shepherd : therefore can I lack nothing.

2 He shall feed me in a green pasture : and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort.

3 He shall convert my soul : and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, for his Name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil : for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me.

5 Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me : thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full.

6 But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life : and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

(4)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

GOSPEL READING – John 10: 11-18

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.

‘I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.’

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

MOTET: Ave verum corpus

Ave verum corpus, natum De Maria Virgine,

Vere passum, immolatum In cruce pro homine, Cujus latus perforatum Unda fluxit sanguine; Esto nobis praegustatum, In mortis examine.

Jesu, Word of God Incarnate, Of the Virgin Mary born,

On the Cross Thy sacred Body, For us men with nails was torn. Cleanse us, by the blood and water, Streaming from Thy piercèd side; Feed us with Thy Body broken, Now, and in death’s agony.

(5)

POST COMMUNION PRAYER

Merciful Father, you gave your Son Jesus Christ to be the good shepherd, and in his love for us to lay down his life and rise again: keep us always under his

protection, and give us grace to follow in his steps; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

MATTINS ANTHEM TEXT – Since by man came death (Messiah)

Since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Text: I Corinthians 15: 21-22 Music: George Frideric Handel (1685-1789)

EVENSONG ANTHEM TEXT – Greater love

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Love is strong as death.

Greater love hath no man than this,

that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Who his own self bare our sins in his own Body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.

Ye are washed, ye are sanctified,

ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, that ye should shew forth the praises

of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,

which is your reasonable service.

Text: Canticles 8, St John 15, I Peter 2, I Corinthians 6; Romans 12 Music: John Ireland (1879-1962)

The first part of this building project will see the contractors working on the front green to level the lawn and provide a foundation for the marquee to stand on. This

levelling work will begin on 1 June and take approximately two weeks. During August the various building stages of the marquee will take place and it should be ready for use by Monday 24August.
