Jubilate The Magazine of the Chaplaincy of Christ the Good Shepherd, Poitou-Charentes SUNDAY 22nd AUGUST 2021 The Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray and to give more than either we desire or deserve: pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask but through the merits and mediation of 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. 1

Covid 19 Update Last week's update was inaccurate in one point and gave insufficient information on others - for which, apologies. PASSE-SANITAIRE In order to obtain a Passe-Sanitaire, you need to present of one of the following: • Vaccination certificate(s) • Negative result of a PCR test (within the last 72 hours) • Evidence of having recovered from Covid (for at least 11 days and less than 6 months), as valid proof of recovery Each of these certificates is encoded and signed in the form of a QR Code. It can be presented in paper form or digitally (e.g. on a smartphone). Since August 9, 2021, the Passe-Sanitaire is compulsory to access certain places, establishments or events, indoors or outdoors, without any notion of gauge, such as cinemas, museums, cafes, restaurants, hospitals, retirement homes, medico- social establishments (except in emergencies). Also for long-distance journeys by interregional public transport. The Passe-Sanitaire is NOT needed for attending Church services. Wearing the mask In places where the medical pass is required, wearing a mask is no longer compulsory for people with the pass. However, the organizer, the operator, as well as the prefect have the possibility of making it compulsory. Advice - always have your mask available to wear if requested. Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress. Sustain and support the anxious and fearful, and lift up all who are brought low; that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love in Christ Jesus our Lord. AMEN 5
BARBECUE or BARBEQUE The “barbeque” spelling reportedly came to be, thanks to the French phrase barbe à queue, which means “whiskers to tail” and describes the process of roasting an entire pig. Please let William and Liz know if you intend to join in (and how many of you)! 6
Time for a Hymn 'When morning gilds the skies'. This hymn, with more verses, originated in Germany around 1828 and was translated into English in 1864 by one Edward Caswall, the son of the vicar of Yately in Hampshire. You can singalong with a choir on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT7Kh88CrL4 When morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking cries, 'May Jesus Christ be praised!' Alike at work or prayer To Jesus I repair: 'May Jesus Christ be praised!' 2. Does sadness fill my mind? A solace here I find, 'May Jesus Christ be praised!' Or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort still is this, 'May Jesus Christ be praised! 3 Be this, while life is mine, My canticle divine, 'May Jesus Christ be praised!' Be this the eternal song Through all the ages long, 'May Jesus Christ be praised. 7
A message from Ann White I was overwhelmed when I received the generous gift that you have given me - thank you so very much. Once I eventually move into my new home, hopefully sometime next month, there will be many things that I will need to get so it is much appreciated and will be put to very good use. In the meantime I am relaxing in a beautiful spot in the middle of the Downs near Newbury, seeing the family, getting to know the latest addition and (not so good) reacquainting myself with driving on English roads. I shall not forget you all, and the many happy years I spent in France and I continue to pray for the Chaplaincy and its future ministry. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Chaplaincy of Christ the Good Shepherd, Poitou-Charentes Email: office.goodshepherd@sfr.fr Tel: 06 21 32 31 28 Admin.
