Sung Eu arist in thanksgiving for the life of Joseph Patri
Mi
ael Cassidy 11 August 1954 ‐ 28 Mar 2015 Friday 17 April 2015 10.30 a.m. Born in Montreal, Joe was deeply influenced by the love and support of his parents, Maureen McCarthy and Linus Cassidy, and the family life they built for their four children, Joe, Colleen, Kathy and John. Following his first degree, Joe spent fourteen years as a Jesuit priest, continuing his academic studies while also working in many diﬀerent settings, from prisons and hospitals to universities. He spent three months in Jamaica and a year in Nicaragua during the contra war. These pivotal experiences consolidated the passion for social justice that continued throughout his life. After leaving the Jesuits, he moved to England in 1992 to take a lecturing job in Southampton, where he met his wife, Gillian. They married in 1993 and their first child, Emmeline, was born in 1995, followed by Marianne (1996) and Benedict (2000). Joe was received into the Anglican Church in 1996, and the family spent a year living in Laverstock, Salisbury, while Joe, continuing to lecture, also acted as NSM for two parishes. The family moved to Durham when Joe was appointed Principal of St Chad’s in 1997 and Ben was born in their first home there, Dun Cow Cottage. Joe gave generously of his time and energy to many diﬀerent communities during his time as Principal, including undergraduates, postgraduates, the SCR, alumni and staﬀ, but also the University more widely, the Cathedral, many people in Middleton‐in‐Teesdale and Crystal Beach, Ontario, and at St Matthew’s school in South Africa. Despite this prodigious energy and sociability, he was also a very private and family‐oriented man. He was immensely proud of his children and they never doubted his unconditional and – to use the word of one friend – besotted love. He loved spending time with them, skiing, hiking in his beloved Adirondacks or in Teesdale, or simply watching silly movies on TV. He had a ready sense of humour, tending sometimes to the unashamedly scatological, to the delight of his children when small (and when older, too). We love him and can’t imagine what life will be like without him.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. For the word of the Lord, All thanks be to God. Remain seated Gradual Psalm 121 sung by the oir I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills : from whence cometh my help. My help cometh even from the Lord : who hath made heaven and earth. He will not suﬀer thy foot to be moved : and he that keepeth thee will not sleep. Behold, he that keepeth Israel : shall neither slumber nor sleep. e Lord himself is thy keeper : the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand; So that the sun shall not burn thee by day : neither the moon by night. 6 e Lord shall preserve thee from all evil : yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul. e Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in : from this time forth for evermore. Reading 1 John 4. 7 ‐ 16 read by Kathy Read and Colleen Green Fren Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, since God loved us so mu , we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Saviour of the world. God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God. So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. For the word of the Lord, All thanks be to God. Stand Hymn Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy, Whose trust ever ild‐like, no cares could destroy, Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray, Your bliss in our hearts, Lord, at the break of the day. 7 Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith, Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe, Be there at our labours, and give us, we pray, Your strength in our hearts, Lord, at the noon of the day. Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace, Your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace, Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray, Your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day. Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm, Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm, Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray, Your peace in our hearts, Lord, at the end of the day.

President Lord, you are holy indeed, the source of all holiness; grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit, and according to your holy will, these gifts of bread and wine may be to us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ; who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread and gave you thanks; he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take, eat; this is my body whi is given for you; do this in remembrance of me. 12 Deacon All President All Kneel or sit In the same way, after supper he took the cup and gave you thanks; he gave it to them, saying: Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, whi is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.

And so, Father, calling to mind his death on the cross, his perfect sacrifice made once for the sins of the whole world; rejoicing in his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension, and looking for his coming in glory, we celebrate this memorial of our redemption. As we oﬀer you this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, we bring before you this bread and this cup and we thank you for counting us worthy to stand in your presence and serve you. Send the Holy Spirit on your people and gather into one in your kingdom all who share this one bread and one cup, so that we, in the company of all the saints, may praise and glorify you for ever, through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory be yours, almighty Father, for ever and ever.
