are for thy healing. In the midst of that fair city flows the river of water of life clear as

water shall never thirst. Take thou the leaves of the tree of life. So shalt thou enter in

through the gates of the city.

The Calendar ~

The Sixth Sunday of Easter

Eastertide is surely a season in which to be thankful. Thankful for new life,

signs of which are slowly sprouting around us, and thankful for the New

Life we celebrate. On the first Sunday in May our services came from the

BCP. For many of us worship takes this form but once a month, though at

8:15 it is a continual blessing. It is remarkable how few people use the

prayer book in the service, although it is not our weekly practice, and for

Mattins we now need to revert to the text. We stumble occasionally,

confusing the modern and original forms (people, not men), but this is

immaterial. The prayers still stream out from a congregation in firm and

confident voice. Few of us consciously memorized these words, but they

have become embedded in our minds. We do not presume …. What words!

We may hear them bouncing around inside our heads at odd and sundry

times. Last year, a column by Malcolm Guite reminded me of the General

Thanksgiving, its echoes in my head and its inclusive, extensive, and full

generosity. We do give thee … most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness

and loving-kindness …. But above all for thine inestimable love … for the means of

grace and the hope of glory. It is an Easter prayer. A timeless gift from Thomas

Cranmer and his colleagues, graceful and satisfactory, now and always.

Thanksgiving sets up each day. And at Easter there is very much to be

thankful for.

Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do

give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all they goodness and

loving-kindness to us and to all men. We bless thee for our creation,

preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine

inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus

Christ; for the means of grace and the hope of glory. And, we

beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts

may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we shew forth thy praise, not

only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to thy

service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all

our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and the

Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

The Gospel

The Holy Gospel is written in the fifth chapter of the

Gospel according to Saint John beginning at the 1st 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)

After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew,

Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids-blind,

lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight

years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a

long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" The sick man

answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water

is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down

ahead of me." Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." At

once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk.

Now that day was a sabbath. (John 5:1-9)

The Gospel of Christ.

Praise be to thee, O Christ. (BCP)

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. (BAS)

A Reading from the Book of Acts

During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia

pleading with him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to

Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good

news to them. We set sail from Troas and took a straight course to

Samothrace, the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi,

which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony.

We remained in this city for some days. On the sabbath day we went

outside the gate by the river, where we supposed there was a place of

prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had gathered there.

A certain woman named Lydia, a worshipper of God, was listening to us;

she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple cloth. The Lord

opened her heart to listen eagerly to what was said by Paul. When she and

her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me

to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home." And she prevailed

upon us. (Acts 16:9-15)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 67

May God be merciful to us and bless us, show us the light of his

countenance and come to us. Let your ways be known upon earth, your

saving health among all nations. Refrain.

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

nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and

guide all the nations upon earth. Refrain.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. The earth

has brought forth her increase; may God, our own God, give us his

blessing. May God give us his blessing, and may all the ends of the earth

stand in awe of him. Refrain.

A Reading from the Revelation to John

And in the spirit, an angel carried me away to a great, high mountain and

showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.

I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty

and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for

the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk

by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. Its gates

will never be shut by day - and there will be no night there. People will

bring into it the glory and the honour of the nations. But nothing unclean

will enter it, nor anyone who practises abomination or falsehood, but only

those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. Then the angel showed

me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne

of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city. On

either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit,

producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the

healing of the nations. Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But

the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will

worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the

Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

(Revelation 21:10, 22-22:5)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God.
