Our cathedral stands on the sovereign Country of the Wurundjeri people of the
Kulin Nation; land that was taken, not ceded. We give thanks for the ancestors who
formed and gifted this land to the Wurundjeri, and acknowledge the ongoing right

respect to First Nations people with us.

THE GREETING
Bless the Lord who forgives all our sins.
Whose mercy endures forever.
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
2THE PRAYER OF PREPARATION
Let us pray.
Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from
whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the
inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily
magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
KYRIE ELEISON Sung by the Choir
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Missa in Tempore Quadragesimae – Michael Haydn (1737-1806)
THE CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION
Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord our God, though we have
rebelled and wandered far off.
Let us then ask for mercy, confessing our sins in penitence and faith.
Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in
thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved
you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we
repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love
and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith:
pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness
and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
Let us pray.
God of our ancestors, whose chosen servant Abraham was given faith to obey
your call and go out into the unknown: endow your Church with such faith that
we may follow you with courage; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
3THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD
The people are seated for the Bible readings.
THE FIRST READING Jeremiah 1.4-10
Read by Tom Jones
A reading from the Prophecy of Jeremiah.
4Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, 5 ‘Before I formed you in the
womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a
prophet to the nations.’ 6Then I said, ‘Ah, Lord GOD! Truly I do not know how to
speak, for I am only a boy.’ 7But the LORD said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am only a
boy”; for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and you shall speak whatever I
command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, says
the LORD.’
9Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to
me, ‘Now I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over
nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down, to destroy and to
overthrow, to build and to plant.’
Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.
PSALM 27.1-8
Please join in saying the verses of Psalm 27 printed in bold.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear?:
the Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, come upon me to devour me:
they shall stumble and fall.
3 If an army encamp against me, my heart shall not be afraid:
and if war should rise against me, yet will I trust.
4 One thing I have asked from the Lord, which I will require:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
5 To see the fair beauty of the Lord:
and to seek his will in his temple.
6 For he will hide me under his shelter in the day of trouble:
and conceal me in the shadow of his tent, and set me high upon a rock.
7 And now he will lift up my head:
above my enemies round about me.
8 And I will offer sacrifices in his sanctuary with exultation:
I will sing, I will sing praises to the Lord.
4THE SECOND READING Philippians 1.12-25
Read by Canon Assoc. Prof Avril Brereton.
A reading from the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Philippians.
12I want you to know, beloved, that what has happened to me has actually helped
to spread the gospel, 13so that it has become known throughout the whole
imperial guard and to everyone else that my imprisonment is for Christ; 14and
most of the brothers and sisters, having been made confident in the Lord by my
imprisonment, dare to speak the word with greater boldness and without fear.
15Some proclaim Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill. 16These
proclaim Christ out of love, knowing that I have been put here for the defence of
the gospel; 17the others proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but
intending to increase my suffering in my imprisonment. 18What does it matter?
Just this, that Christ is proclaimed in every way, whether out of false motives or
true; and in that I rejoice.
Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19for I know that through your prayers and the
help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will result in my deliverance. 20It is my eager
expectation and hope that I will not be put to shame in any way, but that by my
speaking with all boldness, Christ will be exalted now as always in my body,
whether by life or by death. 21For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. 22If I am
to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labour for me; and I do not know which I
prefer. 23I am hard pressed between the two: my desire is to depart and be with
Christ, for that is far better; 24but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for
you. 25Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all
of you for your progress and joy in faith,
Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.
THE HOLY GOSPEL Please stand Luke 24.36-49
Please repeat the acclimation after the Cantor, then as indicated
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: may those who love you prosper.
Peace be within your walls: and prosperity in your palaces.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory.
The Lord be with you. And also with you.
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St Luke:
Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
536 While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to
them, ‘Peace be with you.’ 37They were startled and terrified, and thought that
they were seeing a ghost. 38He said to them, ‘Why are you frightened, and why do
doubts arise in your hearts? 39Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself.
Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I
have.’ 40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his
feet. 41While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to
them, ‘Have you anything here to eat?’ 42They gave him a piece of broiled
fish, 43and he took it and ate in their presence.
44Then he said to them, ‘These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still
with you—that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets,
and the psalms must be fulfilled.’ 45Then he opened their minds to understand the
scriptures, 46and he said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer
and to rise from the dead on the third day, 47and that repentance and forgiveness
of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from
Jerusalem. 48You are witnesses of these things. 49And see, I am sending upon you
what my Father promised; so stay here in the city until you have been clothed
with power from on high.’
For the Gospel of the Lord, praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

THE PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS
Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation: through your goodness we have these
gifts to share. Accept and use our offerings to your glory and for the service of
your kingdom: Blessed be God forever.
10THE HOLY COMMUNION
THE GREAT THANKSGIVING
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
All glory and honour be yours always and everywhere,
mighty Creator, everliving God.
We give you thanks and praise for your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who by the power of your Spirit was born of Mary
and lived as one of us.
He was tempted in every way as we are,
yet he did not sin.
By his death on the cross
and rising to new life,
he offered the one true sacrifice for sin
and obtained an eternal deliverance for his people.
By his grace we are able
to triumph over every evil,
and to walk in the way of his love.
Therefore with angels and archangels,
and with all the company of heaven,
we proclaim your great and glorious name,
for ever praising you and saying:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY LORD Missa in Tempore Quadragesimae –Haydn
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
11Merciful God, we thank you
for these gifts of your creation,
this bread and wine,
and we pray that by your Word and Holy Spirit,
we who eat and drink them
may be partakers of Christ's body and blood.
On the night he was betrayed Jesus took bread;
and when he had given you thanks
he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying,
‘Take, eat. This is my body given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.’
After supper, he took the cup,
and again giving you thanks
he gave it to his disciples, saying,
‘Drink from this, all of you.
This is my blood of the new covenant
shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’
Therefore we do as our Saviour has commanded:
proclaiming his offering of himself
made once for all upon the cross,
his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension,
and looking for his coming again,
we celebrate, with this bread and this cup,
his one perfect and sufficient sacrifice
for the sins of the whole world.
In faith we acclaim you, O Christ:
Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free.
You are the Saviour of the world.
Renew us by your Holy Spirit,
unite us in the body of your Son,
and bring us with all your people
into the joy of your eternal kingdom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
with whom, and in whom,
in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
we worship you, Father,
in songs of never-ending praise:
Blessing and honour and glory and power
are yours for ever and ever. Amen.
12THE LORD’S PRAYER
Being made one by the power of the Spirit, as our Saviour taught us, so we pray,
each in our own language,
Notre Père..., Padre nuestro..., Vater unser..., 我們在天上的父 …,
हे हमारे &रिगक िपता…, Bapa kami..., E to matou Matua..., 天の父よ ...,
Ama namin…, Our Father who art …, ،…ﺑﺎپ ﮨﻤﺎرے اے ،…اﻟﱠِﺬي أ َﺑَﺎﻧَﺎ
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will
be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our
sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and
deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now
and for ever. Amen.
THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD
We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.
We who are many are one body, for we all share in the one bread.
THE INVITATION
The gifts of God for the people of God.
Come let us take this holy sacrament of the body and blood of Christ in
remembrance that he died for us, and feed on him in our hearts by faith with
thanksgiving.
The Choir sings
AGNUS DEI Missa in Tempore Quadragesimae –Haydn

THE SENDING OUT OF GOD’S PEOPLE
THE POST-COMMUNION PRAYER Please stand
Compassionate and loving God, through your Son Jesus Christ you have fed us
and have reconciled your people to yourself. Following his example of fasting and
prayer, may we obey you with willing hearts and serve one another in holy love.
13Father, we offer ourselves to you as a living sacrifice through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Send us out in the power of your Spirit to live and work to your praise
and glory.
THE DISMISSAL HYMN
2 4
Sunbeams scorching all the day; And if Satan, vexing sore,
chilly dew-drops nightly shed; Flesh or spirit should assail,
prowling beasts about thy way; thou, his vanquisher before,
stones thy pillow, earth thy bed. grant we may not faint nor fail.
3 5
Shall not we thy sorrows share, So shall we have peace divine:
and from earthly joys abstain, holier gladness ours shall be;
fasting with unceasing prayer, round us, too, shall angels shine,
glad with thee to suffer pain? such as ministered to thee.
6
Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by thy side;
that with thee we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide.
George Hunt Smyttan (1822–70) and Francis Pott (1832–1909)
Hymns Ancient and Modern New Standard 56i
THE BLESSING AND DISMISSAL
Christ our Saviour draw you to himself, that you may find in him crucified a sure
ground for faith, a firm support for hope, and the assurance of sin forgiven and
the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among
you and remain with you always. Amen.
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
In the name of Christ. Amen.

14PRAY WITH US
THE WORLD After two weeks since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the rest of the world
is appalled by such violent destruction of human life and property, so we continue to
pray that God in his love and mercy would soften the hearts of perpetrators who are
causing unimaginable damage to lives now and leaving impressionable children with
terrifying memories which will last for a lifetime. Humanitarian corridors have failed
to materialise, trapping many foreign students for whom we pray God’s courage in
adversity, resourcefulness and strength through togetherness. We ask God’s enabling
and guidance for Yoon Suk Yeol who has been elected President of South Korea for a
five-year term, a conservative who has promised to honour the constitution and
parliament, and work with opposition parties but without a clear international
relations strategy. COVID has become a deteriorating, dire epidemic causing deaths
among elderly, unvaccinated residents of Hong Kong, requiring China’s medical
assistance, and our prayers are offered with concern for those who are fearful for their
health, threatened with uncertainty, or anxious for ill relatives. Rising food prices in
Iraq, have sparked protests. In Lebanon, fuel prices continue to rise. Syrian prices of
bread and diesel were expected to increase, but cost of bread and medicines doubled,
and prices will continue to rise as people continuing to struggle. We give thanks that
Turkey has sought to plug the gap, building flour mills and providing power, as we
pray that individually and communally, God would give insightful solutions to daily
and lasting difficulties because no money is entering these treasuries.
OUR CITY & STATE We are thankful for the further relaxation of restrictions around
management of COVID and its variants. Give us grace never to take for granted our
rights ahead of our responsibilities to others in our community. We pray for and
support businesses trying to survive current difficulties, and hope the current bid to
host the 2026 Commonwealth Games might bring fresh encouragement.
