The Liturgy of the Word Sit. THE FIRST READING Isaiah 66:18 21 Thus says the Lord: I know their works and their thoughts, and I am coming to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and shall see my glory, and I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands afar o^, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. And they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as an o^ering to the Lord, upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the Isrælites bring their cereal o^ering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. And some of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says the Lord. PSALM Psalm 138:1; 12; 17 19; 21 When singing simplified Anglican Chant each half-verse of the Psalm (up to, or following, the asterisk [ *]) is sung on the first note, changing to the second (black) note on the word or syllable in italics. The natural rhythm of the text is followed. Make a distinct pause at an upright [ ]. Half verses (set in italics, with the word to be sung on the black note in roman) are sung by repeating from the double bar. & # # œ œ œ O praise the Lord, all ye nations; * praise him, all ye peoples. For his merciful kindness is ever more and more toward us; * and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise the Lord. 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. 1956, Jerome Webster Meachen. œ THE SECOND READING Hebrews 12:5 7; 11 13 Brethren: Have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him. For the Lord disciplines
him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Alleluia Chant: Alleluia, Alleluia. Lord, thou hast been our refuge : from one generation to another. Alleluia. THE HOLY GOSPEL Luke 13:22 30 At that time Jesus went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. And some one said to him, Lord, will those who are saved be few? And he said to them, Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us. He will answer you, I do not know where you come from. Then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets. But he will say, I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity! There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out. And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last. Homily Sit.

memoranda THE FLOWERS on the High Altar, gifts of God and work of our Flower Guild, are o^ered to His Glory; but they may also be dedicated as memorials or thanksgivings for yourself or loved ones. Full details can be found on our website at www.saintgregoryordinariate.org/ministries/liturgical-ministries/flowermemorials-and-thanksgivings; writing to liturgy@saintgregoryordinariate.org; or by speaking with Pam Covert, Directress of the Flower Guild during Fellowship. 9 OUR PONTIFICAL HIGH MASS on September Second will be beautified by Palestrina s exquisite and rarely-heard six-voice Mass, TU ES PETRUS, performed by professional soloists under the direction of Mr. Michael Olbash. This is the same Mass selected for the first appearance of polyphony at our Liturgies, a year ago for Saint Gregory s Day. The cost of the music at that time (and at subsequent occurrences) was raised by parishioners and friends, and the music given by them to God and the community: the parish has never spent its funds for this purpose. Saint Gregory s Day this year is a momentous event in our community s history it is not only our Bishop s first Episcopal Visitation but also marks the conclusion of Father Liias time with our community: this will be the last of the special liturgies which have been such a feature of his Pastorate. It is entirely fitting this Mass be as beautiful and ceremonious as possible; therefore the musicians have been booked; the music will be a part of the Mass. However our life as a community is, and will be, di^erent now: it is vitally necessary we remember its new expenses and fiscal viability. Therefore in considering if you can help raise the $1,500 required for this special music possibly the last of its kind for some time it is also necessary to remember those donations must be secondary to your support of our community, proper: this beautiful music is non-essential to the life of our community; the support of our new Pastor, and many other expenses are not. Please pray and discern what may be possible and seems good to the Holy Spirit. Questions should be directed to Kevin McDermott, to whom any donations should be given or sent. Worship God in the Beauty of Holiness psalm 96:9 9
