Solemn Eucharist
Tuesday, March 30, 2010
12:10pm - Saint Thomas Church
As you dwell on today's Gospel from Saint John, you might find these sermons helpful:
Divine Thunder by Fr Mead (2009)
Lift High the Cross by Fr Mead (2008)
The Hour Has Come by Fr Austin (2007)
The Law of Life through Death by Fr Mead (2006)
Collect:
O God, who by the passion of thy blessed Son didst make an instrument of shameful death to be unto us the means of life: Grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly suffer shame and loss for the sake of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
This relatively austere Eucharist will be familiar to those who attend the 9am Eucharist on Sunday mornings. Its tone is reflective and penitential. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, please do come in, as it will help you enter into the wonder and truth of this most holy of weeks.
The service involves three sacred ministers, a small contingent of acolytes, and the Gentlemen of the Choir. All baptized Christians are invited to the altar rail to recieve the sacrament. Please download the leaflet for additional details.
