LECTORS & INTERCESSORS AT MASS TODAY

THE COLLECT Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of His redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of His most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen THE FIRST READING: READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in the Book

of Isaiah Chapter 56 beginning at the 1st verse

Thus says the LORD: "Keep justice, and do righteousness, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed. "And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be his servants, every one who keeps the sabbath, and does not profane it, and holds fast my covenant -- these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”

PSALM 67 1. May God be merciful to us and bless us, * show us the

light of his countenance and come to us. 2. Let your ways be known upon earth, * your saving health

among all nations. 3. Let the peoples praise you, O God; * let all the peoples

praise you. 4. Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, * for you judge

the peoples with equity and guide all the nations upon earth.

5. Let the peoples praise you, O God; * let all the peoples praise you.

6. The earth has brought forth her increase;* may God, our own God, give us his blessing.

7. May God give us his blessing, * and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son;*and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now:*and shall be forever. Amen

THE EPISTLE A Reading from the Word of God written in the Letter to the Romans Chapter 11 beginning at the 13th verse

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in order to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now been disobedient in

5

order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy. For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

Reader: Here ends the Reading. ALL: Thanks be to God.

THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Glory to Christ our Saviour.

And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon." But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me." And he answered, "It is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.

The Gospel of Christ. Praise to Christ our Lord.

FROM  THE  RECTOR’S  NOTEBOOK Greetings: As we continue to pray for Christians in Iraq we must note that the conflict is not a Muslim-Christian issue. In fact many Muslims across the world have condemned the hateful acts towards the Christians who have had a presence in Iraq certainly from the the 1st century. To understand and appreciate Iraqi Christianity, one can easily go back to the crucifixion/resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. According to tradition the Christian community took root there after the Apostle Thomas headed east in the year 35AD. Many of the Christians in that geographical region are members of the The Eastern-rite Church - the Chaldeans who have a traditional liturgical language, Syriac - a linguistic descendant of Aramaic, the language thought by most scholars to have been spoken by Jesus and his disciples. Perhaps the best known Iraqi Chaldean is Saddam Hussein's former deputy prime minister, Tariq Aziz. The current Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Rev’d Justin Welby, when asked about the implications for Muslim - Christian relations in the midst of this crises responded by saying

“. . . what we mustn’t do in blanket terms is condemn all Muslims as though they were all members of this group, because very, very clearly the overwhelming, enormous majority of them have no sympathy with what is going on at all.”

Archbishop Welby also had stated that with the world’s attention on the plight of those in Iraq, we must not forget that this is part of an evil

7

pattern around the world where Christians and other religious minorities are being killed and persecuted for their faith. According to a May 2014 article in Christianity Today, The Reverend Canon Andrew White, an Anglican priest in Bagdad reports that there used to be 1.5 million Christians in Iraq. Now there are 260,000 and that number is decreasing. Archbishop Welby urges that we continue to cry to God for peace, justice and security throughout the world and for those suffering such appalling treatment in Iraq. Your friend and priest, Noel A. Burke, MA, (The  Rev’d  Canon) Rector

Health Corner MULTI-PURPOSE VINEGAR Vinegar is safe and can be used as an alternative to many cleaners. The vinegar that you buy in the supermarket contains 5% acetic acid, which has antimicrobial properties . In another words, vinegar can act as a disinfectant. Here are a few ways that you can use vinegar in your daily chores: Reduce dust and grease Concerned about those dirty ceiling fan blades; then wipe them with white distilled vinegar. This helps to reduce the build up of dust and grease. Give a shine Add one-half cup of vinegar to one gallon of water and mop floors to give them a shine. Toilet bowl cleaner Stains can be removed from the toilet by adding 3 cups of vinegar, leaving it for 30 mins or more before brushing vigorously and then flushing. Deodorises the refrigerator Place 1 cup of apple cider vinegar in a glass and put it in the refrigerator. This removes any smells within 2 days. Cleaning the refrigerator Mix equal amounts of white distilled vinegar and water; this is perfect for cleaning the refrigerator. Annoying ants Regular wiping of counter tops and floors with vinegar can get rid of your ant problem.
