Service Booklet - Chrism Eucharist 1-4-2021

The Renewal of Ordination Vows and Ministerial Commitment Maundy Thursday 1 April 2021 11.00

Welcome to Bradford Cathedral The seat of the Bishop of Leeds and a Centre of Worship and Mission One of three Cathedrals in the Anglican Diocese of Leeds

Our purpose is serving Christ and transforming lives through welcome, worship and encounter.

❖ Please join in at home, and in the Cathedral, by saying or singing the words in bold type in this order of service ❖ For those at home, unable to receive Holy Communion: The term ‘Spiritual Communion’ has been used historically to describe the means of grace by which a person, prevented for some serious reason from sharing in a celebration of the Eucharist, nonetheless shares in the communion of Jesus Christ. The Church of which we are members is not defined by the walls of a building but by the Body of Christ of which we are members. In making our communion spiritually, we are joining with Christians everywhere to be nourished by the one who tells us, ‘I am the Bread of Life’. ❖ Please note that this service will be broadcast live on YouTube and be available for the following two weeks. ❖ Members of Bradford Cathedral Choir lead this morning’s worship. The choral setting is Alex Berry’s Lockdown Mass.

Hymn Love is his word, love is his way, feasting with all, fasting alone, living and dying, rising again; love, only love, is his way.

Richer than gold is the love of my Lord, better than splendour and wealth.

Love is his way, love is his mark, sharing his last Passover feast, Christ at the table, host to the twelve; love, only love, is his mark.

Love is his mark, love is his sign, bread for our strength, wine for our joy, ‘This is my body, this is my blood.’

Love, only love, is his sign.

Love is his sign, love is his news, ‘Do this,’ he said, ‘lest you forget all my deep sorrow, all my dear blood.’

Love, only love, is his news.

Love is his news, love is his name, we are his own, chosen and called, sisters and brothers, parents and kin.

Love, only love, is his name.

Love is his name, love is his law, hear his command, all who are his: ‘Love one another; I have loved you.’

Love, only love, is his law.

Love is his law, love is his word: love of the Lord, Father and Word, love of the Spirit, God ever one; love, only love, is his word.

Words: Luke Connaughton (1917–1979) Tune: CRESSWELL; SP 219

The president, the Right Reverend Nick Baines, Bishop of Leeds

Greeting Jesus Christ has made us a kingdom of priests To serve his God and Father.

Glory and kingship be his for ever and ever.

Grace, mercy and peace be with you and also with you.

The Bishop introduces the service We remain standing

Prayers of Penitence To prepare ourselves to celebrate the mystery of God’s love, let us acknowledge our own failure to love and ask the Lord for pardon and strength.

Silence Come, let us return to the Lord and say Lord our God, in our sin we have avoided your call.

Our love for you is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes away early.

Have mercy on us; deliver us from judgement; bind up our wounds and revive us; in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

cf Hosea 6

The Lord enrich you with his grace, and nourish you with his blessing; the Lord defend you in trouble and keep you from all evil; the Lord accept your prayers and absolve you from your offences, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.

Amen.

Gloria in Excelsis Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer.

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

The president introduces a period of silent prayer

Prayer of the day Heavenly Father, you anointed your Son Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit and with power to bring to the world the blessings of your kingdom: anoint your Church with the same Holy Spirit, that we who share in his suffering and his victory may bear witness to the gospel of salvation; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

New Testament Reading 2 Corinthians 3:17-4:12 Read by the Reverend Canon Mandy Coutts 17

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.

Therefore, since it is by God’s mercy that we are engaged in this ministry, we do not lose heart. 2We have renounced the shameful things that one hides; we refuse to practise cunning or to falsify God’s word; but by the open statement of the truth we commend ourselves to the conscience of everyone in the sight of God. 5

3

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. 6For it is the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness’, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

7

But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. 8We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. 11For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. 12So death is at work in us, but life in you.

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. We stand

Psalm 89 19 You spoke once in a vision and said to your faithful people: • ‘I have set a youth above the mighty; I have raised a young man over the people.

20 ‘I have found David my servant; • with my holy oil have I anointed him.

21 ‘My hand shall hold him fast • and my arm shall strengthen him.

22 ‘No enemy shall deceive him, • nor any wicked person afflict him.

23 ‘I will strike down his foes before his face • and beat down those that hate him.

24 ‘My truth also and my steadfast love shall be with him, • and in my name shall his head be exalted.

25 ‘I will set his dominion upon the sea • and his right hand upon the rivers.

Gospel Reading

Read by the Very Reverend Jerry Lepine, Dean of Bradford

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.

Glory to you, O Lord.

Luke 22.24-30 24

A dispute also arose among them as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. 25But he said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like one who serves. 27For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.

‘You are those who have stood by me in my trials; 29and I confer on you, just as my Father has conferred on me, a kingdom, 30so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

28

This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, O Christ.

After an opening prayer, we sit

Sermon The Right Reverend Nick Baines, Bishop of Leeds Voluntary: Improvisation

The Renewal of Commitment to Ministry My brothers and sisters, at his Last Supper, our Lord Jesus Christ gave his disciples a new commandment, that they should love one another, and he prayed that they might be one. He gave them an everlasting sign of his own love, in the sacrament of bread and wine. He consecrated himself to his Father’s service, to be the high priest of the New Covenant. I invite you now to dedicate yourselves afresh to his service, as stewards of the mysteries of God and ministers of his grace.

A Lay person addresses the Bishops

Bishops

At your ordination as bishops you received the gift of the Spirit, that you might lead the Church in mission, and send out ministers in Christ’s name; that you might promote its unity, uphold its discipline, and guard its faith; and that you might teach and govern the people committed to your charge. Will you continue faithfully in this ministry, watching over Christ’s own flock, and building them up in the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace?

By the help of God, I will.

The bishop addresses the priests

Priests

At your ordination to the priesthood, you took authority to watch over and care for God’s people, to absolve and bless them in his name, to proclaim the gospel of salvation, and to minister the sacraments of his New Covenant. Will you continue as faithful stewards of the mysteries of God, preaching the gospel of Christ and ministering his holy sacraments?

By the help of God, I will.

The bishop addresses the deacons

Deacons

At your ordination as a deacon, you received the yoke of Christ, who came not to be served but to serve. Will you continue faithfully in this ministry, to build up God’s people in his truth and serve them in his name?

By the help of God, I will.

The bishop addresses lay ministers When you were commissioned, you undertook to be faithful in prayer and by word and example to minister to those for whom Christ died. Will you do all that is in your power to witness to God’s love for his people?

Lay ministers By the help of God, I will.

May the God of peace sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, and he will accomplish it.

Amen. Lord, have mercy.

Offertory Motet God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoso believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Great Thanksgiving Prayer The Lord is here His Spirit is with us.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give thanks and praise.

It is indeed right and good, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Holy Father, almighty and eternal God, through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord.

By the outpouring of your Holy Spirit you anointed him to be the servant of all and ordained that he should enter into your kingdom through suffering.

And now he stands by us and pours out for our healing the oil of consolation and the wine of renewed hope.

In your wisdom and love you anoint your holy people to be a royal priesthood, to share in Christ’s suffering and to reveal his glory to the world.

Therefore earth unites with heaven to sing a new song of praise; we too join with angels and archangels as they proclaim your glory without end: Choir

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest We praise and bless you, loving Father, through Jesus Christ, our Lord; and as we obey his command, send your Holy Spirit, that broken bread and wine outpoured may be for us the body and blood of your dear Son.

10

On the night before he died he had supper with his friends and, taking bread, he praised you.

He broke the bread, gave it to them and said: Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me.

When supper was ended he took the cup of wine.

Again he praised you, gave it to them and said: Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

So, Father, we remember all that Jesus did.

In him we plead with confidence his sacrifice made once for all upon the cross.

Bringing before you the bread of life and cup of salvation, we proclaim his death and resurrection until he comes in glory.

Jesus Christ is Lord: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free.

You are the Saviour of the world.

Lord of all life, help us to work together for that day when your kingdom comes and justice and mercy will be seen in all the earth.

Look with favour on your people, gather us in your loving arms and bring us with all the saints to feast at your table in heaven.

Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory are yours, O loving Father, for ever and ever.

Amen.

11

We sit Silence

The Lord’s Prayer As our Saviour taught us, so we pray.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever.

Amen.

Breaking of the Bread We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.

Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one bread.

Giving of Communion The body of Christ given for you.

The blood of Christ shed for you.

Amen.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace.

12

If you are at home and unable to receive Communion, you may wish to use the following prayer, after Richard of Chichester: Thanks be to you, Lord Jesus Christ, for all the benefits you have given me, for all the pains and insults you have borne for me.

Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, I ask you to come spiritually into my heart.

O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother, may I know you more clearly, love you more dearly, and follow you more nearly, day by day.

Amen.

Silence

Prayer after Communion Good Shepherd, you have welcomed us at your table and have anointed us with the oil of gladness: may your goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our life, that we may dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Amen.

Hymn Here is love, vast as the ocean, loving kindness as the flood, when the Prince of life, our ransom, shed for us his precious blood.

Who his love will not remember?

Who can cease to sing his praise?

He can never be forgotten throughout heaven’s eternal days.

On the mount of crucifixion fountains opened deep and wide; through the floodgates of God’s mercy flowed a vast and gracious tide.

Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from above, and heaven’s peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love.

13

Through the years of human darkness, shone the lamp the prophets trimmed, making known redemption’s story, of the love of God undimmed.

Christ for every tongue and nation!

All must come beneath his sway; his the everlasting Kingdom that shall never pass away.

When the stars shall fall from heaven, and the sun turn black as night, when the skies recede and vanish, and the elements ignite.

Then the Son of Man in glory, coming as the morning star, shall return to claim his loved ones, gathered in from near and far.

Words: William Rees (1802–1883); v3 & 4 Richard Bewes Tune: SP 45

Dismissal Our help is in the name of the Lord who has made heaven and earth.

Blessed be the name of the Lord now and for ever. Amen.

The Father, whose glory fills the heavens, cleanse you by his holiness and send you to proclaim his word.

Amen.

The Son, who has ascended to the heights, pour upon you the riches of his grace.

Amen.

The Holy Spirit, the Comforter, equip you and strengthen you in your ministry.

Amen.

And the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with you always.

Amen.
