Sunday of the Resurrection

He is Risen! The goodness of the Resurrection news is most evident for those who have lost people they love to any sort of incomprehensible evil....Think back for a moment to the days when death squads operated in countries like Argentina or El Salvador: the Christians there developed a very dramatic way of celebrating their faith, their hope and their resistance. At the liturgy, someone would read out the names of those killed or “disappeared”, and for each name someone would call out from the congregation, Presente, “Here”.

When the assembly is gathered before God, the lost are indeed present; when we pray at this Eucharist “with angels and archangels and the whole company of heaven”, we say presente of all those the world (including us) would forget and God remembers. With angels and archangels; with the butchered Rwandans of twenty years ago and the butchered or brutalised Ugandan children of last week or yesterday; with the young woman dead on a mattress in King’s Cross after an overdose and the childless widower with Alzheimer’s;; with the thief crucified alongside Jesus and all the thousands of other anonymous thieves crucified in Judaea by an efficient imperial administration; with the whole company of heaven, those whom God receives in his mercy.

And with Christ our Lord, the firstborn from the dead, by whose death our sinful forgetfulness and lukewarm love can be forgiven and kindled to life, who leaves no human soul in anonymity and oblivion, but gives to all the dignity of a name and a presence. He is risen; he is not here; he is present everywhere and to all. He is risen: presente. Rowan Williams

Entrance Antiphon I have risen, and I am with you still, alleluia. You have laid your hand upon me, alleluia. Too wonderful for me, this knowledge, alleluia, alleluia. Entrance Hymn No 361 (Gather) Jesus Christ is Risen Today Opening Prayer O God, who on this day, through your Only Begotten Son, have conquered death and unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord’s Resurrection may, through the renewal brought by your Spirit, rise up in the light of life.

First Reading: Acts 2: 42-47 Peter began to speak to those assembled in the house of Corneluis. “You know the message of God sent to the people of Israel, preach-ing peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. “We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. “He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” Response 8:30am This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad. Responsorial Psalm: 6:00pm & 10:30am No 70 (Gather) This Is The Day the Lord Has Made Second Reading: Colossians 3: 1-4 If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia! Christ has become our paschal sacrifice; let us feast with joy in the Lord. Alleluia! Gospel: John 20: 1-9 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went towards the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Offertory Hymn No 371 (Gather) Alleluia, Sing to Jesus Communion Antiphon Christ our Passover has been sacrificed, alleluia; therefore let us keep the feast with the unleavened bread of purity and truth, alleluia, alleluia. Communion Hymn No 352 (Gather) By Your Kingly Power

‘Engraving' taken from Australian Town and Country Journal (Sydney, NSW : 1889) with an extract from the story; "In this issue we publish engravings of St. Canice's Church, Roslyn Street, near Rushcutter's Bay, Sydney, which is the most recently completed addition to the architecture of the Roman Catholic Church in and around Sydney. The new church, which is regarded as one of the finest in Sydney, cost something like £13,000, the bulk of which sum was provided by the family of the late Mr. John Hughes (Knight of the Order of St. Gregory), who himself gave the site for the building, together with a donation of £3500, which, with other donations made by surviving members of Mr. Hughes's family, reduced the share of the cost of the church borne by the parishioners to about £5000. . . .
