FIRST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
Collect
Almighty and everlasting God, you have given us your servants grace, by the
confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity and in the
power of the divine majesty to worship the Unity: keep us steadfast in this faith, that
we may evermore be defended from all adversities; 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.
A reading from Isaiah
Isaiah 6. 1-8, [9, 10]
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty;
and the hem of his robe filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him;
each had six wings: with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered
their feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said: ‘Holy, holy,
holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.’ The pivots on the
thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke.
And I said: ‘Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a
people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!’
Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had been taken from the
altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: ‘Now that
this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted out.’ Then I
heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’
And I said, ‘Here am I; send me!’
And he said, ‘Go and say to this people: “Keep listening, but do not comprehend;
keep looking, but do not understand.” Make the mind of this people dull, and stop
their ears, and shut their eyes, so that they may not look with their eyes, and listen
with their ears, and comprehend with their minds, and turn and be healed.’
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God.
Psalm 29
1 Ascribe unto the Lord O ye / hosts of / heaven:
ascribe unto the / Lord / glory • and / strength.
2 Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due / unto • his / name:
worship the / Lord in / raiment • of holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is up-/on the / waters:
it is the glorious God that maketh the thunder, * even the Lord up-/on the / great /
waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is mighty in / oper-/ation:
the voice of the / Lord • is a / glorious / voice.
5 The voice of the Lord / breaketh • the / cedar-trees:
yea the Lord / breaketh • the I cedars • of / Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to / skip • like a / calf:
Lebanon also and / Siri • on / like young / oxen.
7 The voice of the Lord di-/videth • the / lightning:
the voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness, * yea the Lord / shaketh • the /
wilderness • of / Kadesh.
8 The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to be in travail, *
and the goats to bring forth be-/ fore their / time:
in his / temple • do / all cry /‘Glory.’
9 The Lord sitteth a-/bove the / water-flood:
the Lord / sitteth • as / King for / ever.
10 The Lord shall give strength / unto • his / people:
the Lord shall give his / people • the / blessing • of / peace.
A reading from Romans
Romans 8. 12-17
So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the
flesh – for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put
to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God
are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,
but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that
very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if
children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ – if, in fact, we suffer
with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God.
Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to Saint John
John 3. 1-17
Glory to you, O Lord
Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus
by night and said to him, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from
God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God.’
Jesus answered him, ‘Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God
without being born from above.’ Nicodemus said to him, ‘How can anyone be born
after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and be
born?’ Jesus answered, ‘Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God
without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is
born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you, “You must be born
from above.” The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you
do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is
born of the Spirit.’ Nicodemus said to him, ‘How can these things be?’ Jesus
answered him, ‘Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these
things? Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have
seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things
and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No
one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son
of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of
Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so
loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may
not perish but may have eternal life.
‘Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order
that the world might be saved through him.
This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.

In order to carry on the work of the Church in and through this Cathedral Parish, not
least the upkeep of this magnificent building, we rely substantially on your generous
giving. A significant proportion of our funds is raised through Christian Stewardship
among our regular worshippers.
If you are a taxpayer, we invite you to give by means of Gift Direct (Giving With a
Direct Debit), or other form of Gift Aided donation. This means we can claim the tax
back and so your donation increases by 25%. We are enormously grateful to all who
do this as an expression of their gratitude for God’s great goodness.
