3 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, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ have overcome death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: grant that, as by your grace going before us you put into our minds good desires, so by your continual help we may bring them to good effect; through Jesus Christ our risen Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. NEW TESTAMENT READING Acts 7: Filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Look, he said, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God! But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him. Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, Lord, do not hold this sin against them. When he had said this, he died. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. PSALM 31: In thee, O Lord, have I put my trust : let me never be put to confusion, deliver me in thy righteousness. 2 Bow down thine ear to me : make haste to deliver me. 3 And be thou my strong rock, and house of defence : that thou mayest save me. 4 For thou art my strong rock, and my castle : be thou also my guide, and lead me for thy Name's sake. 5 Draw me out of the net, that they have laid privily for me : for thou art my strength.

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 14: 1-14 Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Jesus said, Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going. Thomas said to him, Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way? Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him. Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied. Jesus said to him, Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it. This is the Gospel of the Lord.

5 MOTET: Tantum ergo Tantum ergo sacramentum Veneremur cernui, Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori genitoque Laus et jubilatio, Salus honor virtus quoque Sit et benedictio. Procedenti abutroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen. Therefore we, before him bending, this great Sacrament revere; types and shadows have their ending, for the newer rite is here; faith, our outward sense befriending, makes our inward vision clear. Glory let us give, and blessing to the Father and the Son, honor, might and praise addressing, while eternal ages run; ever too his love confessing, who from Both with Both is One. Amen. Text: Thomas Aquinas ( ) Music: Fernand Laloux ( ) POST COMMUNION PRAYER Eternal God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life: grant us to walk in his way, to rejoice in his truth, and to share his risen life; who is alive and reigns, now and for ever. Amen. MATTINS ANTHEM TEXT Verbe égal au Très-Haut, notre unique espérance, Jour éternel de la terre et des cieux, De la paisible nuit nous rompons le silence: Divin sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux. Répands sur nous le feu de ta grâce puissante; Que tout l'enfer fuie au son de ta voix; Dissipe le sommeil d'une âme languissante Qui la conduit à l'oubli de tes lois! Ô Christ! sois favorable à ce peuple fidèle, Pour te bénir maintenant rassemblé; Reçois les chants qu'il offre à ta gloire immortelle, Et de tes dons qu'il retourne comblé. Word of God, one with the Most High, in Whom alone we have our hope, Eternal Day of heaven and earth, We break the silence of the peaceful night; Saviour Divine, cast your eyes upon us!

6 Pour on us the fire of your powerful grace, That all hell may flee at the sound of your voice; Banish the slumber of a weary soul, That brings forgetfulness of your laws! O Christ, look with favour upon your faithful people Now gathered here to praise you; Receive their hymns offered to your immortal glory; May they go forth filled with your gifts. Text: Jean Racine ( ) Music: Gabriel Fauré ( ) EVENSONG ANTHEM TEXT My beloved spake and said unto me, arise, my love, my fair one and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing of birds is come. And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vine with the tender grape gives a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one and come away.

Study Morning: Jumble Sales and Church Bazaars - the Novels of Barbara Pym on Saturday 7 June 2014 at 10.00am: The novelist Barbara Pym, who wrote a series of social comedies in the 1950s, was named as the most underrated author of the century by both biographer David Cecil and poet Philip Larkin.

8 A number of her novels were re-issued by Virago in the past few years, and she came again to people s attention at her centenary in At the heart of many of Pym s novels lies parish life, especially the Anglo-Catholic Church. In this study morning we will look at the characterisation which is such a distinctive feature of Pym s novels and her depiction of relationships and domestic and church life, with a particular focus on Excellent Women and A Glass of Blessings. The tutors are Canon Julie Gittoes and Dr Clare Coombe. Please see the Cathedral website for full details. The event is free, donations to cover costs would be welcomed.
