Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the Highest.
Sunday 26 October 2014: (Bible Sunday)
The LAST SUNDAY after PENTECOST (Trinity 19)
Collect
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy scriptures to be written for our learning: help us
so to hear them, to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them that, through patience
and the comfort of your holy word, we may embrace and for ever hold fast the hope
of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
A reading from Leviticus
Leviticus 19. 1, 2, 15-18
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to all the congregation of the people of
Israel and say to them: You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.
You shall not render an unjust judgement; you shall not be partial to the poor or
defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbour. You shall not go
around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not profit by the blood of
your neighbour: I am the Lord.
You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your
neighbour, or you will incur guilt yourself. You shall not take vengeance or bear a
grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself:
I am the Lord.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 2
Why are the / nations in / tumult : and why do the peoples de/vise a / vain / plot?
The kings of the earth rise up, and the rulers take / counsel to/gether : against the
Lord / and a/gainst his a/nointed: ‘Let us break their / bonds a/sunder : and / cast
a/way their / cords from us.’
He who dwells in heaven shall / laugh them to / scorn : the Lord shall / have them /
in de/rision.
Then shall he speak to them / in his / wrath : and / terrify them / in his / fury: ‘Yet
have I / set my / king : upon my / holy / hill of / Zion.’
I will proclaim the de/cree of the / Lord : he said to me: ‘You are my Son; this / day
have / I be/gotten you.
Ask of me and I will give you the nations for / your in/heritance : and the ends of the
/ earth for / your pos/session.
You shall break them with a / rod of / iron : and dash them in pieces / like a / potter’s
/ vessel.’
Now therefore be / wise, O / kings : be prudent, you / judges / of the / earth.
Serve the Lord with fear, and with trembling / kiss his / feet : lest he be angry and
you perish from the way, for his / wrath is / quickly / kindled.
Happy / are all / they : who / take / refuge in / him.
A reading from the letter of Paul to the Thessalonians
1 Thessalonians 2. 1-8
You yourselves know, brothers and sisters, that our coming to you was not in vain,
but though we had already suffered and been shamefully maltreated at Philippi, as
you know, we had courage in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in spite of
great opposition. For our appeal does not spring from deceit or impure motives or
trickery, but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the message
of the gospel, even so we speak, not to please mortals, but to please God who tests
our hearts. As you know and as God is our witness, we never came with words of
flattery or with a pretext for greed; nor did we seek praise from mortals, whether
from you or from others, though we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.
But we were gentle among you, like a nurse tenderly caring for her own children. So
deeply do we care for you that we are determined to share with you not only the
gospel of God but also our own selves, because you have become very dear to us.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God.
Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to Saint Matthew
Matthew 22. 34-46
Glory to you, O Lord
When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered
together, and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. ‘Teacher,
which commandment in the law is the greatest?’ He said to him, ‘ “You shall love
the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your
mind.” This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: “You
shall love your neighbour as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the
law and the prophets.’
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them this question:
‘What do you think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?’ They said to him, ‘The son of
David.’ He said to them, ‘How is it then that David by the Spirit calls him Lord,
saying, “The Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies
under your feet’ ”? If David thus calls him Lord, how can he be his son?’ No one
was able to give him an answer, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any
more questions.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, O Christ.

Monday 3 November 7.30pm A TIME TO REMEMBER
This year at the All Souls Service we are changing the format. The service will be a
Requiem and those wishing to remember the Faithful Departed will have an
opportunity to place candles as an act of remembrance. I have decided to do this
rather than have the faithful departed named individually – it will be a reflective
service of music and readings. I hope it will be a special time for any of us who have
lost loved ones to express our love and thanksgiving for them.
The Dean

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 GWADD (Give 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.
