The Seventh Sunday Of Easter
The Seventh Sunday Of Easter
O God, the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven: We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless, but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us, and exalt us unto the same place whither our Savior Christ is gone before; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the same Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
Above: “Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ,” written in stone above the rose window on the Fifth Avenue facade of Saint Thomas Church.
Today at Festal Evensong, Fr Austin preaches the final sermon in our 15-part series on prayer called “Lord, Teach Us to Pray.” It is appropriate that the topic of the sermon, which is the last phrase of the Lord’s Prayer “for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for ever and ever. Amen” should fall on this Sunday after Ascension Day. See the complete list of sermons in the series (and access the written texts and audio files of all fifteen) here.
About Choral Evensong: Based on the services held daily in the medieval Church, Choral Evensong as arranged in the Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Church has been sung regularly since the Sixteenth Century. Many people who are new to worship at Saint Thomas prefer to come to Choral Evensong because it is relatively contemplative. The service includes readings (just as would occur at Evening Prayer) and prayers led by a priest. An anthem as well as a setting of the Magnificat and the Nunc dimittis are sung by the choir. Read more about Choral Evensong here, or view the Choral Evensong Service Card posted to the bottom of this page, where links to the webcast will be posted during and after the service.
‚ñ∫There is no Mass following Choral Evensong on Sundays. If you would like to make your Holy Communion for the week, consider attending one of the morning Eucharists, or else at any of the other sixteen masses at Saint Thomas later this week.
