1 The Diocese of Ottawa with its See City being the National Capital of Canada, straddles the Ottawa River and includes the eastern counties of Ontario and the western counties of Quebec. Beginning in 1787 its territory was first administered from Nova Scotia, then Quebec and Toronto. From 1862 until 1896 we were part of the diocese of Ontario centered in Kingston. In 1896, the Ottawa diocese was created and Christ Church on Sparks St. was enlarged to become our Cathedral. In 1965 the western counties in Quebec were transferred from the Montreal Diocese to Ottawa. Bishop John Chapman, consecrated in 2007, is the 9th Bishop of Ottawa.

The Calendar St Agnes (c ) Martyr St Agnes was killed by the authorities in Rome while she was still a maiden of 12 or 13 years. She was venerated almost immediately by her fellow Christians, a church was built over her grave in about 350, and her feast (January 21) is listed in a calendar of martyrs from 354, but that is about all we can be sure of. The tradition surrounding her death states that she dedicated herself to Jesus at an early age and refused to marry the son of the Prefect Sempronius. In retaliation he condemned her to death. Roman law had a prohibition against executing virgins, so she was dragged to a brothel, but in one version of the tradition, the man who looked on her was struck blind, and no one else took the risk. Subsequently she was tried for working such magic and sentenced to death at the stake, but the wood would not ignite. Eventually she was stabbed in the throat. She is often portrayed with a lamb (agnus in Latin), partly because of the similarity in their names. On her feast day, two white lambs are dedicated at her shrine in Rome and later shorn to provide the wool from which pallia are made for Roman Catholic Archbishops. These woolen bands that rest around the neck symbolize the episcopal union with the Pope. St Agnes is the patron saint of girls and betrothed couples. There is a superstition that on the eve of St Agnes women who follow particular rituals (especially going to bed without dinner) may discover the identity of their future husbands. This is the basis for John Keats rather anti-religious poem The Eve of St Agnes. She is not the Agnes whose fountain was a landmark for Good King Wenceslaus; that is St Agnes of Bohemia ( ).

3 The Gospel 10 The Holy Gospel is written in the first chapter of the Gospel according to Saint John beginning at the 29th verse. (BCP) Glory be to thee, O Lord. (BCP) The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. (BAS) Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS) The next day John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, "Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.' I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel." And John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, 'He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God." The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, "Look, here is the Lamb of God!" The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed). He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter). (John 1:29-42) The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. (BCP) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Goodwin Sidespersons: Grant McDonald and Carol Devenny Readers: Claire Schofield and Colin Smallridge Lay Administrators: Penelope Muller and Nancy Millson Intercessor: Richard Weeks A Reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:1-11) The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Gradual Hymn: Seek Ye First the Kingdom Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and God`s righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Allelu, Alleluia! Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find; knock and the door shall be opened unto you. Allelu, Alleluia! We do not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Allelu, Alleluia! 4 9

5 Psalm: 40:1-12 Refrain: Behold, I come to do your will, O God. I waited patiently upon the Lord; he stooped to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the mire and clay; he set my feet upon a high cliff and made my footing sure. Refrain. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; many shall see, and stand in awe, and put their trust in the Lord. Refrain. Happy are they who trust in the Lord! they do not resort to evil spirits or turn to false gods. Great things are they that you have done, O Lord my God! how great your wonders and your plans for us! there is none who can be compared with you. Oh, that I could make them known and tell them! but they are more than I can count. Refrain. In sacrifice and offering you take no pleasure (you have given me ears to hear you); Burnt-offering and sin-offering you have not required, and so I said, "Behold, I come. Refrain. In the roll of the book it is written concerning me: 'I love to do your will, O my God; your law is deep in my heart.'" I proclaimed righteousness in the great congregation; behold, I did not restrain my lips; and that, O Lord, you know. Refrain. Your righteousness have I not hidden in my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your deliverance; I have not concealed your love and faithfulness from the great congregation. You are the Lord; do not withhold your compassion from me; let your love and your faithfulness keep me safe for ever. Refrain.

Florence Nightingale Today On Sunday, January 23, Deva-Marie Beck, a member of our congregation and Director of the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health, will lead us in a reflection of the continuing importance of Florence Nightingale s work in the world. A Reading from the Book of Isaiah Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away! The Lord called me before I was born, while I was in my mother's womb he named me. He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified." But I said, "I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the Lord, and my reward with my God." And now the Lord says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honoured in the sight of the Lord, and my God has become my strength he says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the slave of rulers, "Kings shall see and stand up, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you." (Isaiah 62:1-5) The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 6 7
