The Prayers of the People

In our prayers today we remember the church throughout the world and

our Anglican Communion especially those churches and congregations

listed in our prayer cycles on p.6. Standing, sitting or kneeling I invite you

to join in our prayers, with the refrain Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for the peace of the world: the Lord grant that we may live

together in justice and faith. Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for this country, and especially for Queen Elizabeth, the

Governor General, the Prime Minister, and all in authority: the Lord help

them to serve these people according to his holy will.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for our Bishop John and the Diocese of Ottawa, its clergy

and people. Lord, hear our prayer.

4

Let us pray for our Canadian Armed Forces and their families and our

veterans who have and still do serve their country. In this place today let us

especially remember the members of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light

Infantry, The Governor General’s Foot Guards and those in diplomatic

missions and NGOs. Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for the sick, those listed in our bulletin and those known to

each of us. Those wounded in battle who are still recovering. For those

known to God alone, the Lord deliver them and keep them in his love.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for all who are condemned to exile, prison, harsh treatment, or

hard labour, for the sake of justice and truth: the Lord support them and

keep them steadfast. Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us remember all who have died. At this time we especially remember

those fallen in battle, and all innocents who have died.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Let us pray for the absolution and remission of our sins and offences.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Priest: The Peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.

It is acceptable to exchange the Peace without shaking hands. A warm smile when saying, "The peace of Christ" conveys a genuine sense of Christian fellowship.

The Peace

The Offertory Generous financial support is our expression of gratitude which along with our time and talents enables us to provide worship at St. Bart’s and support God’s work in service in our community and beyond.

Offertory Hymn: I Vow To Thee My Country Thaxted

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above.

Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;

The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,

That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;

The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,

The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago.

Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;

We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;

Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;

And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,

And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel, for ever and ever.

The Calendar ~

The Great Silence

Now we remember 100 years ago a ceasefire that lasted just over two

decades began in Europe. 1918 heard the silencing of the guns, 1919 the

silence that commemorated the Armistice, and 1920 the silence of the

grave for the unknown warrior. There were hundreds of thousands of

other silences, many borne of despair and many, many borne of grief. For

some 1918 brought the realization that their loved ones would not be away

just for the duration of the war, but for ever. They had not been permitted

a chance to grieve, because in 1915 it was decided that no bodies would be

repatriated, but would lie in war graves, either formal or where they fell,

perhaps hastily arranged by their comrades. Rudyard Kipling called the

cemeteries a Dead sea of arrested lives. For many there would have been no

body to recognize or to bid goodbye. Grief is an iceberg of emotions, a

small amount public but the majority private. They become ever more

tangled when we cannot say a formal goodbye, and these men had no

funeral. Many of those who did return were mutilated, psychologically,

physically, or in combination. There were few prosthetics and little plastic

surgery, so those who had lost their faces wore inert tin masks unable to

show emotion, to smile or to weep, for the rest of their days. These

casualties returned to people who had not shared their experiences directly,

and in some cases had encouraged their departure to the front. Kipling

even made special arrangements to have his short-sighted son sent to

France, never to return. Conscription, imposed in Britain after the Somme,

was another sentence. The poets had begun the war, like many others,

encouraged by the politicians and encouraging others with patriotism. If I

should die, wrote Rupert Brook, Think only this of me/ That there’s some corner of

a foreign field/ That is for ever England. It didn’t last long, and at the end,

Thomas Hardy then nearly 80 raged at the brute-like blindness that had

dispatched men to the four years’ dance of death. In Armistice Day he wrote:

Some could, some could not, shake off misery;

The sinister spirit sneered ‘It had to be!’

And again the spirit of pity whispered ‘Why?’

It is the same for every conflict.

The Gospel

The Holy Gospel is written in the tenth chapter of the

Gospel according to Saint John beginning at the 22nd verse.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was

winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So

the Jews gathered around him and said to him, ‘How long will you keep us

in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered, ‘I have

told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name

testify to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my

sheep. My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give

them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out

of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no

one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.’

(John 10:22-30)

The Gospel of Christ.

Praise be to thee, O Christ.

Our Syrian family, the Aldibans, celebrate the second anniversary of

their arrival in Canada on November 2. Such momentous change!

Following language training, Jihad has been working for over a year in his

professional field as dental technician. Roula has completed a course in

industrial sewing and has undertaken some computer skills training. She is

working part-time as a supply child care educator, and recently began some

occasional care-giver work with Gem Health Care Services.

With extended family support, the Aldibans have recently purchased a used

car. The boys, Mark age 14 and John age 13, are doing well at school and

also excel on the soccer field, where they each play for the highest level

competitive teams in their league. Meri, aged 9, has also started team play

and may yet prove to be the most talented player in the family.

Best wishes to all for continued success, and happy second anniversary! ~

A Reading from the Book of Wisdom

But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will

ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and

their departure was thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be

their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of others

they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been

disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them

and found them worthy of himself; like gold in the furnace he tried them,

and like a sacrificial burnt-offering he accepted them. In the time of their

visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the

stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will

reign over them for ever. Those who trust in him will understand truth,

and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are

upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect. (Wisdom 3:1-9)

Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

Thanks be to God.
