PSALM: Before the angels I

will bless you, O Lord. (4vv)

The Great Catch (Luke 5) - God does not want us to go around trying to ‘catch’ people. The gospel today means engaging with people, not things, and that our mission in life is to lead one another into God’s net, so that we can all be gathered into his kingdom. He calls us to care for people, help them grow in self-esteem, and assist them to move away from all that threatens their lives. We are called to be open to the different ways in which we need to be brought closer to God and feel safe in his net.

COLLECT: O God, you know us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that by reason of the frailty of our nature we cannot always stand upright: grant to us such strength and protection as may support us in all dangers and carry us through all temptations; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

GATHERING: You are the salt of the earth, O people:Salt for the Kingdom of God! Share the flavour of life, O people: Life in the Kingdom of God! Bring forth the Kingdom of mercy,bring forth the Kingdom of peace;bring forth the Kingdom of justice; bring forth the City of God!

You are a light on the hill, O people: Light for the kingdom of God!Shine so holy and bright, O people:Shine for the Kingdom of God!

You are a seed of the word, O people:Bring forth the Kingdom of God! Seeds of mercy and seeds of justice: Grow in the Kingdom of God!

We are a blessed and a pilgrim people: Bound for the Kingdom of God! Love our journey and love our homeland Love is the Kingdom of God!

OFFERTORY: There is a redeemer, Jesus, God's own son,

Precious lamb of God, Messiah, Holy one,

Jesus my redeemer, Name above all names, Precious lamb of God, Messiah, Oh, for sinners slain.

Thank you oh my father, For giving us your son, And leaving your spirit, 'til the work on earth is done.

When I stand in glory, I will see his face, And there I'll serve my king forever, In that holy place.

There is a redeemer, Jesus, God's own son, Precious lamb of God, Messiah, Holy one,

COMMUNION: Will you come and follow me If I but call your name? Will you go where you don’t know And never be the same? Will you let my love be shown, Will you let my name be known,Will you let my life be grown In you and you in me?Will you leave yourself behind If I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind And never be the same? Will you risk the hostile stare Should your life attract or scare? Will you let me answer prayer In you and you in me?Will you let the blinded see If I but call your name? Will you set the pris’ners free And never be the same? Will you kiss the leper clean, And do such as this unseen,And admit to what I mean In you and you in me?Will you love the ‘you’ you hide, If I but call your name? Will you quell the fear inside,

And never be the same?Will you use the faith you’ve found To reshape the world around, Through my sight and touch and sound In you and you in me?Lord, your summons echoes true, When you but call my name. Let me turn and follow you And never be the same.In your company I’ll goWhere your love and footsteps show. Thus I’ll move and live and grow In you and you in me.

FINAL HYMN:

I the Lord of sea and sky I have heard my people cry All who dwell in dark and sin, my hand will save I who made the stars of night I will make their darkness bright Who will bear my light to them? Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord, is it I Lord I have heard you calling in the night I will go Lord if you lead me I will hold your people in my heart

I the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my people’s pain I have wept for love of them They turn away I will break their heart of stone Give them hearts for love alone I will speak my word to them Whom shall I send? (Chorus) I the Lord of wind and flame I will tend the poor and lame I will set a feast for them My hand will save Finest bread I will provide Till their hearts be satisfied I will give my life to them Whom shall I send? (Chorus)

FIRST READING The First reading is from the prophet Isaiah.

In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord of Hosts seated on a high throne; his train filled the sanctuary; above him stood seraphs, each one with six wings. And they cried out to one another in this way, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts. His glory fills the whole earth.’ The foundations of the threshold shook with the voice of the one who cried out, and the Temple was filled with smoke. I said: ‘What a wretched state I am in! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have looked at the King, the Lord of Hosts.’ Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding in his hand a live coal which he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. With this he touched my mouth and said: ‘See now, this has touched your lips, your sin is taken away, your iniquity is purged.’ Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: ‘Whom shall I send? Who will be our messenger?’ I answered, ‘Here I am, send me.’

This is the word of the Lord. Isa 6

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Before the angels I will bless

you, O Lord. I thank you, Lord, with all my heart: you have heard the words of my mouth. In the presence of the angels I will bless you. I will adore before your holy temple. R/

I thank you for your faithfulness and love, which excel all we ever knew of you. On the day I called, you answered; you increased the strength of my soul. R/

All earth’s kings shall thank you when they hear the words of your mouth. They shall sing of the Lord’s ways: ‘How great is the glory of the Lord!’ R/

You stretch out your hand and save me, your hand will do all things for me. Your love, O Lord, is eternal, discard not the work of your hands. R/

Psalm 138

SECOND READING A reading from the first letter to the Corinthians. Brothers, in the first place I taught you what I had been taught myself, namely that Christ died for our sins, in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; and that he was raised to life on the third day, in accordance with the scriptures; that he appeared first to Cephas and secondly to the Twelve. Next he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died; then he appeared to James, and then to all the apostles; and last of all he appeared to me too; it was as though I was born when no one expected it. But what matters is that I preach what they preach, and this is what you all believed.

This is the word of the Lord. 1 Cor 15

GOSPEL A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St Luke.

Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.’ Simon answered, ‘Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.’ When they had done this, they caught so many

fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, ‘Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!’ For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.’ When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.

This is the Gospel of the Lord. Luke 5
