TODAY S SERVICES 8am Holy Communion PRESIDENT The Very Reverend Dianna Gwilliams READINGS Acts 3.12-19; Luke 24.36b-48 9.45 am The Cathedral Eucharist Sung by the City of London Chamber Choir PRESIDENT Canon Andrew Bishop SETTING Mass in D minor (K. 65), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) HYMN 138 COLLECT Almighty Father, who in your great mercy gladdened the disciples with the sight of the risen Lord: give us such knowledge of his presence with us, that we may be strengthened and sustained by his risen life and serve you continually in righteousness and truth; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen OLD TESTAMENT READING Zephaniah 3.14 - end read by Alice Bishop Sing aloud, O daughter Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgements against you, he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more. On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands grow weak. The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival. I will remove disaster from you, so that you will not bear reproach for it. I will deal with all your oppressors at that time. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. At that time I will bring you home, at the time when I gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes.

PSALM 4 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness : You set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy on me and hear my prayer. How long will you nobles dishonour my glory : How long will you love vain things and seek after falsehood? But know that the Lord has shown me his marvellous kindness : When I call upon the Lord, he will hear me. Stand in awe, and sin not : Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Response Offer the sacrifices of righteousness : And put your trust in the Lord. There be many that say : Who will shew us any good? Lord lift up the light of your countenance upon us. You have put gladness in my heart : More than when their corn and wine and oil increase. In peace I will lie down and sleep : For it is you Lord, only, who make me dwell in safety. Response NEW TESTAMENT READING Acts 3.12-19 read by Ann Bourne When Peter saw it, he addressed the people, You Israelites, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk? The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our ancestors has glorified his servant Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in the presence of Pilate, though he had decided to release him. But you rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer given to you, and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. And by faith in his name, his name itself has made this man strong, whom you see and know; and the faith that is through Jesus has given him this perfect health in the presence of all of you. And now, friends, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. In this way God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer. Repent therefore, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out.

GOSPEL READING Luke 24.36b-48 Choir Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. All Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Choir Lord Jesus, explain the scriptures to us. Make our hearts burn within us as you talk to us. All Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Hear the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, Peace be with you. They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. He said to them, Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Look 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. And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. While in their joy they were disbelieving and still wondering, he said to them, Have you anything here to eat? They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate in their presence. Then 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. Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. This is the Gospel of the Lord. SERMON The Venerable Stuart Beake INTERCESSIONS led by John Mitchell HYMN 468

Rather than competing with the scale of the cathedral, Howard has created a series of sealed urns and

one vessels, decorated with flashes of colour. He invites us to meditate on our hopes and memories as we pause and pay attention to the beauty of small things. In his own words, theses stations of Meditations is about exploring space within space and the experience of specific spaces - and the resulting spiritual contemplation- something that is both intimate and immense.
