SAM 2012 Holy Trinity Kew - a focal point for generations of worshippers

2

Greeting: The Lord be with you.

AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)

Sentence: There is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or

mother or father or children or fields, for Jesus’ sake, who will not receive

a hundredfold now in this age, with persecutions, and in the age to come

eternal life. Mark 10.29–30

Prayer of Preparation:

As we gather as God's people let us pray together:

Almighty God,

to whom all hearts are open,

all desires known,

and from whom no secrets are hidden:

cleanse the thoughts of our hearts

by the inspiration

of your Holy Spirit,

that we may perfectly love you,

and worthily magnify your holy name,

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Summary of the Commandments:

‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the

Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your

mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first

commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as

yourself.’

Kyrie eleison:

Lord have mercy: R/: Lord have mercy

Christ have mercy: R/: Christ have mercy

Lord have mercy: R/: Lord have mercy

3

The Gloria

Glory to God in the highest,

and peace to God’s people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King,

almighty God and Father,

we worship you, we give you thanks,

we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,

Lord God, Lamb of God,

you take away the sin of the world:

have mercy on us;

you are seated at the right hand of the Father:

receive our prayer.

For you alone are the Holy One,

you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High

Jesus Christ,

with the Holy Spirit,

in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Prayer of the Day

Merciful God, in your Son you call not the righteous but sinners to repentance:

draw us away from the easy road that leads to destruction, and guide us into

paths that lead to life abundant, that in seeking your truth, and obeying your

will, we may know the joy of being a disciple of Jesus our Saviour; who lives

and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD

Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)

First Reading: JOB 23.1-9, 16-17 1Then Job answered:

2‘Today also my complaint is bitter; his hand is heavy

despite my groaning. 3O that I knew where I might find him, that I might come

even to his dwelling! 4I would lay my case before him, and fill my mouth with

arguments. 5I would learn what he would answer me, and understand what he

would say to me. 6Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?

No; but he would give heed to me. 7There an upright person could reason with

him, and I should be acquitted for ever by my judge. 8‘If I go forward, he is not

there; or backward, I cannot perceive him; 9on the left he hides, and I cannot

behold him; I turn to the right, but I cannot see him. 16

God has made my heart

faint; the Almighty has terrified me; 17

If only I could vanish in darkness, and

thick darkness would cover my face!

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

Psalm 22.1-5, 11-13

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me:

why are you so far from helping me and from the words of my groaning?

2 My God, I cry to you by day, but you do not answer:

and by night also I take no rest.

3 But you continue holy:

you that are the praise of Israel.

4 In you our forebears trusted:

they trusted, and you delivered them;

5 To you they cried and they were saved:

they put their trust in you and were not confounded.

11 O go not from me, for trouble is hard at hand:

and there is none to help.

12 Many oxen surround me:

fat bulls of Bashan close me in on every side.

13 They gape wide their mouths at me:

like lions that roar and rend.

5

Second Reading: HEBREWS 4.12-16 12

Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged

sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to

judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13

And before him no creature

is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we

must render an account. 14

Since, then, we have a great high priest who has

passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our

confession. 15

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize

with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested

as we are, yet without sin. 16

Let us therefore approach the throne of grace

with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of

need.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord,

THANKS BE TO GOD

6

We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we greet

our Lord who is present in His Holy Word.

The Lord be with you

AND ALSO WITH YOU

The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Mark chapter 10

beginning at the 17th

verse.

GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

17

As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and

asked him, ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ 18

Jesus said

to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19

You know

the commandments: “You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery;

You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud;

Honour your father and mother.” ’ 20

He said to him, ‘Teacher, I have kept all

these since my youth.’ 21

Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, ‘You lack

one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will

have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ 22

When he heard this, he

was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions. 23

Then

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, ‘How hard it will be for those

who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!’ 24

And the disciples were

perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, ‘Children, how hard it

is to enter the kingdom of God! 25

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye

of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ 26

They

were greatly astounded and said to one another, ‘Then who can be

saved?’ 27

Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but not

for God; for God all things are possible.’ 28

Peter began to say to him, ‘Look, we

have left everything and followed you.’ 29

Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, there is

no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or

children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, 30

who will

not receive a hundredfold now in this age—houses, brothers and sisters,

mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the age to come

eternal life. 31

But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.’

Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord,

PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

SERMON followed by a short time for reflection

The Nicene Creed

Let us together affirm the faith of the Church.

We believe in one God,

the Father, the almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary

and became truly human.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;

he ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge

the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son

is worshipped and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

8

Jesus said: A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another,

even as I have loved you. John 13.34

[Let us pray]

We do not presume to come to your table,

merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness,

but in your manifold and great mercies.

We are not worthy

so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table.

But you are the same Lord

whose nature is always to have mercy.

Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord,

so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ,

and to drink his blood,

that we may evermore dwell in him,

and he in us. Amen.

The Confession

forgiveness.

Merciful God, our maker and our judge,

we have sinned against you

in thought, word, and deed,

and in what we have failed to do:

we have not loved you with our whole heart;

we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves;

we repent, and are sorry for all our sins.

Father, forgive us.

Strengthen us to love and obey you

in newness of life;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

10
