June 27th, 2021
Fifth Sunday
After
Pentecost
St. Matthias’, our spiritual home, is located in the
traditional territory of the
Haudenosaunee & Anishinaabe.
St Matthias, notre foyer spirituel, se trouve sur le
territoire ancestral des Haudenosaunee et des
Anishinaabe.Prayers for the Morning The Minister shall read aloud these Sentences of the Scriptures that follow. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: let the whole earth stand in awe of him. Psalm 96:9 Speak Lord, for your servant is listening: you have the words of eternal life. See 1 Samuel 3.9; John 6.68 1st Hymn #9 (Common Praise - Canada) Today I awake and God is before me. At night, as I dreamt, he summoned the day; for God never sleeps, but patterns the morning with slithers of gold or glory in grey. Today I arise and Christ is beside me, He walked through the dark to scatter new light. Yes, Christ is alive, and beckons his people to hope and to heal, resist and invite. Today I affirm the Spirit within me at worship and work, in struggle and rest. The Spirit inspires all life which is changing from fearing to faith, from broken to blest. Today I enjoy the Trinity round me, above and beneath, before and behind; the Maker, the Son, the Spirit together— they called me to life and call me their friend. The Minister, turning to the people, shall say the Exhortation.
DEARLY beloved, we have come together in the presence of Almighty
God our heavenly Father, to render thanks for the great benefits that we
have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his
holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things
that are necessary for our life and our salvation.
And so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him,
let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our
sins, that we may obtain forgiveness of the same by his infinite goodness
and mercy.
A general Confession to be said of the whole Congregation with the
Minister.
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in
thought, word, and deed, By what we have done and by what we have
left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; We have not
loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly
repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and
forgive us, That we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, To
the glory of your name. Amen.
The Absolution, or Remission of sins, to be pronounced by the Priest
alone.
The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of
all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and
consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.
Minister. O Lord, open thou our lips;
People. And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.
Minister. We wait for the Lord,
People. Our souls wait, and in God’s word we hope.
Minister. Ours souls wait for the Lord more than those who watch for
the morning,
People. More than those who watch for the morning.
Minister. In faith, let us turn to our God, whose love is sure.Canticle
JUBILATE
said together.
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands;
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God;
he himself has made us, and we are his;
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and call upon his name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
GLORY be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning,
Is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
PSALM 130
said together.Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications!
If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with you,
so that you may be revered.
I wait for the LORD,
my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities.
GLORY be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning,
Is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
-St. Augustine of Hippo-
said together
Blessed are all your saints, O God and King,
who have travelled over the tempestuous sea of this mortal life,
and have arrived at the harbour of peace and felicity.
Watch over us who are still in our dangerous voyage;
and remember such as lie exposed
to the rough storms of trouble and temptations.
Frail is our vessel, and the ocean is wide;
but in your mercy you have set our course,
So steer the vessel of our life
toward the everlasting shore of peace,
And bring us at length
to the quiet haven of our hearts desire,
Where thou, O God, are blessed;
who lives and reigns
for ever and ever.
GLORY be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning,
Is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.

2nd Hymn #617 (Common Praise – Canada)Jesus, the very thought of thee,
with sweetness fills the breast;
but sweeter far thy face to see,
and in thy presence rest.
No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
nor can the mind recall
a sweeter sound than Jesus’ name,
the Saviour of us all.
O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek;
to those who ask, how kind thou art,
how good to those who seek!
But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is
none but his lovers know.
Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
in thee be all our glory now,
and through eternity.

All. Thanks be to God.
THE CREED
I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
The holy Catholic Church;
The Communion of Saints;
The Forgiveness of sins;
The Resurrection of the body,
And the Life everlasting.
Amen.
Minister. The Lord be with you;
People. And with thy spirit.
Minister. Let us pray. Lord, have mercy upon us.People. Christ, have mercy upon us.
Minister. Lord, have mercy upon us.
All
OUR Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name,
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.
Then the Priest standing up shall say:
O Lord, show thy mercy upon us;
People. And grant us thy salvation.
Priest. O Lord, save the Queen;
People. And mercifully hear us when we call upon thee.
Priest. Endue thy Ministers with righteousness;
People. And make thy chosen people joyful.
Priest. O Lord, save thy people;
People. And bless thine inheritance.
Priest. Give peace in our time, O Lord;
People. And evermore mightily defend us.
Priest. O God, make clean our hearts within us;People. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.
THE COLLECT.
ALMIGHTY GOD, you have taught us through your Son that love fulfils
the law. May we love you with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind,
and all our strength, and may we love our neighbour as ourselves; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
The Second Collect, for Peace.
O GOD, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge
of whom stands our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom: Defend
us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely
trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries;
through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Third Collect, for Grace.
O LORD our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast
safely brought us to the beginning of this day: Defend us in the same with
thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run
into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy
governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Summary of the Law.
OUR LORD Jesus Christ said: hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one
Lord; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the
first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the
law and the prophets.
People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write both these thy laws in our
hearts, we beseech thee.
ReflectionIntercessions
A General Thanksgiving, to be said by the Minister and people together
Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all you have done for us.
We thank you for the splendour of the whole creation, for the beauty of
this world, for the wonder of life, and for the mystery of love.
We thank you for the blessing of family and friends, and for the loving
care which surrounds us on every side.
We thank you for setting us tasks which demand our best efforts, and
for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy and delight us.
We thank you also for those disappointments and failures that lead us
to acknowledge our dependence on you alone.
Above all, we thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of his
word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which
he overcame temptation; for his dying, through which he overcame
death; for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of
your kingdom. Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know
Christ and make him known; and through him, at all times and in all
places, may give thanks to you in all things. Amen.
A Prayer of Saint Chrysostom.
ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to
make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that when
two or three are gathered together in thy Name thou wilt grant their
requests: Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as
may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of
thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
Poem
The Raising of Jairus’s Daughter
Margaret MacKinnonRead by the Rev’d Gwenda Wells You have to imagine it, as they all did: It was as if He’d come to her in a dream. The walls of the space where the dead girl lay were like water, wavering, like the reflection of water, blue like the blue at the beginning of night. And the light blazed and bent when His voice arrived, making a symbol of sound: Talitha koum! Little girl, I say to you, arise! Who can know what they were thinking— but I think she rose and they all danced, the music her much-loved life— and that chance to come back. Changed. So I think, too, of Mary, another young girl, home from college, her feet bare, ready to dance, though she’s seated on the steps of the great, galleried house. Her summer hours flame in that smile— and yes, there will be later mornings— years when she is frail. Forgetting. So much that will be broken. But as if nothing were ever lost to time, all that is luminous gathers, now, in the hands she clasps in her lap. Little girl, I say to you, arise! Across Mary’s yellow fields, the sounds
of other lives—
of rain, of distance. But here with her,
these certain reassurances—
songs of a mourning dove that rise and mark the air.
Acclamation
Minister. Come to me and listen to my words;
hear me, and you shall have life.
People. Come to me and listen to my words;
hear me, and you shall have life.
Minister. The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the
simple.
People. Hear me, and you shall have life.
Minister. The statutes of the Lord are right and rejoice the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure and gives light to the
eyes.
People. Hear me, and you shall have life.
Minister. The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever;
the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
People. Hear me, and you shall have life.
Minister. More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine
gold; sweeter also than honey dripping from the honeycomb.
People. Come to me and listen to my words;
hear me, and you shall have life.
BlessingMinister. The Lord bless you and keep you:
People. Amen
Minister. The Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you:
People. Amen.
Minister. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
and give you peace:
People. Amen.
Minister. The Lord God almighty, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
guard you, save you, and bring you to that heavenly city, where
he lives and reigns for ever and ever.
People. Amen.
Concluding Hymn #306 (Common Praise-Church of England)
O for a thousand tongues to sing
my dear Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.
He speaks, and, listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.Hear him, ye deaf, ye voiceless ones, your loosened tongues employ; ye blind, behold your Saviour come, and leap, ye lame, for joy! My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the earth abroad the honours of thy name. Dismissal Minister. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord People. Thanks be to God
