Luke 1: 68,69 (KJV) St Luke brings St John the Baptist into the world with a flourish of prophecy. Zachariah, John s elderly father, had been struck dumb when told by the angel Gabriel to expect a son by his equally elderly wife Elizabeth and to call him John. Zachariah was skeptical of the angel s message, and lost his speech as a result. Mary, carrying Jesus, visited Elizabeth in her third trimester, and may well have stayed to help when John was born. Zachariah s lips were loosened after John s birth, and the poetry that we know as the Benedictus gushed out (Lk 1: 68-79). Luke seems to have been set on establishing John as the forerunner of the Messiah to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah and to establish the fundamental nature of Jesus s mission. John is described at three points in the gospel accounts of Jesus s life. His birth is the first, antecedent to Jesus. Jesus s baptism similarly marks the beginning of His ministry, while John s death brings home mortal consequences of speaking truth to power, foreshadowing the Passion. The church has emphasized John as the forerunner by choosing to mark his birth on June 24 th, when the year turns, six months before Christmas. John lived an austere life in the desert, urging repentance and strict obedience to the law of Moses as preparation for the coming of the kingdom. The contemporary historian Josephus described John s leadership of a community we might today describe as fundamentalist, and certainly on the edge. They were regarded as potentially rebellious, although their commitment was predominantly religious, not primarily political. Jesus may initially have been one of his disciples. Jesus called his cousin a burning and a shining light. For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; to give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1: 76,79 (KJV) Submitted by Chris Burn 11

3 The Gospel The Holy Gospel is written in the ninth chapter of the Gospel according to Saint Matthew beginning at the 35th verse. (BCP) Glory be to thee, O Lord. (BCP) The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. (BAS) Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest." Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.' Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. (Matthew 9:35-10:8) The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. (BCP) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) The Second Sunday after Pentecost June 18, :30 a. m.

In loving memory of my parents, Alicia Walter Perry. With thanks to all parents on Father s Day throughout the year from Sheila Perry family. For hope renewal from Anita Kazdan. A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. (Romans 5:1-8) Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God

5 Psalm 116:1, I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him. How shall I repay the Lord for all the good things he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. Refrain. I will fulfil my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his servants. Refrain. O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds. I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the name of the Lord. Refrain. I will fulfil my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! Refrain.

He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent entrance to meet them, and bowed down to the ground. He said, "My lord, if I find favour with you, do not pass by your servant. Let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. Let me bring a little bread, that you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass onsince you have come to your servant." So they said, "Do as you have said." And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Make ready quickly three measures of choice flour, knead it, and make cakes." Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to the servant, who hastened to prepare it. Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree while they ate. They said to him, "Where is your wife Sarah?" And he said, "There, in the tent." Then one said, "I will surely return to you in due season, and your wife Sarah shall have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent entrance behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in age; it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, "After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?" The Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, and say, 'Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?' Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son." But Sarah denied, saying, "I did not laugh"; for she was afraid. He said, "Oh yes, you did laugh." (Genesis 18:1-15) Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God. 6 7
