Genesis 14: 18-20
Psalm 109 (110)
1 Corin 11: 23-26
Luke 9: 11-17

The Body and Blood of Christ. It has become traditional in the Church, to keep a celebration of the gift of the Blessed Sacrament as soon as Easter-tide is over. This Thursday came to be Corpus Christi, the first free Thursday after Maundy Thursday. Now we keep the feast on the following Sunday (next Sunday) so that more people will be able to join in. Our mass takes place as usual. The readings include an OT passage about a priest offering bread and wine; our NT reading is Paul’s account of the Last Supper from 1 Corinthians 11 (which matches Luke’s account almost exactly); and the gospel is the feeding of the five thousand from St Luke

Exodus 34: 4-9
Psalm Daniel 3: 53-56
1 Corinthians 13:11-13
John 3: 16-18

The Trinity is nothing short of the defining Christian doctrine. It is the belief that God is truly one but also really three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and baptism in that faith, which makes a person a Christian. The Book of Common Prayer tells us that this belief is ‘before all things necessary for salvation.’ This is an important point because there are religious bodies which claim to preach the gospel of Jesus and do not have this faith; the main Christian denominations do not recognise them as Christian. Last week, we heard Matthew concluding his account of Jesus' instructions to his disciples with the exhortation to preach and baptise in the name of the Trinity. Our readings this Sunday are concerned more with worship and mystery, as indeed our worship and hymns will be. Many writers have studied the Trinity only to acquiesce in its mystery and pay homage. The nature of God should not be easily accessible. If it were, he would be less than God. Nevertheless, the doctrine of the Trinity informs us about what God wants us to know of himself. We both rejoice in his revelation of himself and worship in the awe that arises from his transcendence.

Psalm 103 (104)
1 Corinthians 12: 3-13
John 20: 19-23

Pentecost, or Whitsun, is celebrated as the ‘birthday of the church’. We use the expression not so much to describe the birth of an institution as to highlight a new era in the history of God’s dealings with humanity. Pentecost is the start of the ‘era of the Holy Spirit’. God is no longer present among us in the person of his incarnate Son. Jesus no longer walks physically with his disciples. Instead, God lives with his people through the Holy Spirit, sent from the Father and the Son. The Spirit brings Christians to new life, gives them a relationship with Jesus and commissions and empowers them to be God’s presence in the age in which they live.

15/05/2026

Acts 1: 12-14
Psalm 27 (26)
1 Peter 4: 13-16
John 11: 1-11a

Our relationship to the world. This Sunday’s gospel is part of Jesus’ High Priestly prayer from S John. It is as though Jesus allows the disciples to hear his prayer so that they might gain an insight into his will for them. In this section, Jesus speaks of his physical departure from them (which is what it is chosen for the Sunday between Ascension and Pentecost). He describes their ongoing earthly lives with the term 'in the world’ and contrasts this with his new state of being no longer there with them. Crucially, they are told that they face a balancing act so that whilst they are ‘in the world’ in some key ways, they are not to behave as though they fully belong, they are not to be ‘of the world’. What’s the difference between merely passing through this life as a pilgrim and truly belonging? The gospel marks this distinction with the word ‘glory’. Jesus is glorified in his ministry as witness to the Father, the one who confers eternal life on believers. This glory was to come to its fullest expression in the cross. The glory of believers is to find eternal life in Jesus Christ and to allow his values of love and service to rule in our own hearts. The first two readings show how this breaks into our present lives. The church in Acts is a community in waiting, bound together by love and prayer. The church of S Peter is warned to expect persecution from the world as she lives the life of the Spirit. How often do we seek glory in the wrong things and live more as citizens of this world that of God’s Kingdom?

I find most statues helpful. But not the one at the end of this post! It’s in the ceiling of the Ascension Chapel at Walsingham. It sums up to my mind why modern people might find the Ascension of the Lord the most difficult of the major Christian feasts.

So, in my homily for the two Ascension Day masses this year, I tried to tackle that difficulty head on and ask what this feast at the sharp end of Eastertide can still teach us.

First of all, no matter how we might struggle with the mechanics of what happened on that day and attempts to portray them, our faith is one which very much involves our bodies and the physical side of life. Jesus’ incarnation and the events of Easter and Ascension involve body and soul and so will our salvation. We need to see Ascension Day as an affirmation that Jesus’ was truly and fully human and was raised to life and to heaven in an equally full way. It’s a modern-day heresy to speak of human souls living forever in some sort of paradise. It is not what the scriptures teach about Easter or about God’s Kingdom.

Second, the Ascension of Jesus marks the end of a chapter in God’s dealing with humanity. Jesus even anticipates that the disciples will be sad at no longer seeing him. This ties the Ascension to another vital aspect of human living, the truth that each of us occupies a certain time and place. No joy that we celebrate or suffering that we endure lasts forever. Instead we journey though life as pilgrims to God’s eternal Kingdom.

This sense of journeying and chapters in time brings us to another truth which is as neglected as the dignity of the body. Jesus’ Ascension is accompanied by a promise that he will return just as the disciples saw him taken away. In the creed each week we even dare to claim we ‘look forward’ to this eventuality. In our Christian lives, in our worship (especially the Eucharist), the Kingdom of God draws very close to us. But our pilgrimage in this life will never truly be over until Jesus’ return.

So, if you are like me and find feet protruding from ceilings less than helpful to your prayers, do not give up on celebrating the Ascension. This easily misunderstood feast reminds us of the reality of the physical in the life of faith, of the passing of time in God’s plan and the great hope that underpins it all. That’s a hefty portion of Christian truth upon which to reflect at the end of Eastertide!

Acts 8: 5-17
Psalm 65 (66)
1 Peter 3: 15-18
John 14: 15-21

Wait for the Spirit of Truth. It sounds obvious – if we love the Lord, we will keep his commandments, as Jesus says. The trouble is, our experience of life is very different. Try as we might, we cannot live as God wants. No wonder, then, that Jesus' commandment is immediately followed by the promise of help. This will come in the form of the 'Spirit of truth’. The promise is to be fulfilled by the Holy Spirit, especially in his role as teacher, reminding the disciples of what Jesus had taught leading them into the truth. The disciples, and we who have come later, are to bear witness to this truth before a hostile world. True Spirit-led witness, though, is to have the patience and courtesy that only the Spirit can give. Thus, St Peter asks the church to extend her reverence for Christ to all people, including those outside the community of faith, even to the point of being persecuted.

Acts 6: 1-7
Psalm 32 (33)
1 Peter 2: 4-9
John 14: 1-12

Jesus comforts us. The first part of next Sunday’s gospel is often read at funerals. Jesus explicitly sets out to give us comfort. He bases his call for us to be calm at heart on the promise of a life to come - ‘In my Father’s house are many mansions…’. Life after the events of Easter is not to be the comfort of the deluded but rather is based on a promise. Having said that, it is not to be a holiday, either! Our reassurance comes from seeing Jesus. This apprehension of Christ makes God known to his people and makes them sharers in his work. Christians are to do the work that Jesus himself did. This is what it means to be ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a people set apart’ (1 Peter). In Acts, we see this harsh reality of discipleship being fulfilled in the death of the first Christian martyr, the deacon St Stephen. St Luke is at pains to emphasise the close similarities between Stephen’s death and that of Jesus. To follow Jesus means being conformed to his image – comforted in some ways, but also being with Jesus in our death and finally in the Father’s house.

Acts 2: 14, 36-41
Psalm 22 (23)
1 Peter 2: 20-25
John 10: 1-10

The Shepherd and the sheep. St John’s gospel presents us with this image of the Saviour and his people. The emphasis in the readings next week, though, is not so much about our status as God’s people as about how we achieve that position. So, Jesus is ‘the gate of the sheepfold’ who bids us enter through him. This theme of conversion and initiation is at the heart of Eastertide – we know that Jesus has conquered death, the question now is how we share that victory. Peter gets asked that very question in Acts. Having heard the gospel, the people ask what they should do in response. The answer is that they should repent and be baptised. So, baptism has a special prominence in the Easter season. Peter takes up this theme again in his second letter, this time with a concern for our ongoing, post-conversion, lives. We have strayed but must return. We have been corrupted by a hostile world and must rediscover the faith. Part of this is to be found in a Christian ethic, living an easter-inspired life in the here and now and suffering patiently after Jesus’ own Easter example.

A thought for Lent 4

It is true that this Sunday is all about conversion - see the notes above.

But have you noticed how much Eastertide is about the church as a worshipping community?

We know well enough that this season comes to a climactic conclusion with Pentecost, the birth of the Church, a lively scene of praise. Even before this, though, we will have been taught so much about the worshipping life of the first Christian community in the Acts of the Apostles (which gives us our first reading each Sunday) - how they met to break bread and pray, how they were admired and grew greatly in numbers. Last Sunday we heard the gospel of the Road to Emaus and were reminded how we are called to ‘know’ Jesus in the breaking of bread Sunday by Sunday.

Even when we seem stray from the theme of our worshipping life, it is not far from the surface. So when this Sunday we see Jesus portraying himself as the gate, the point is that he is our way to the fold and pasture which is our worshipping life together.

No wonder, then, that baptism the great Easter sacrament! Through our baptism we joined in Jesus in his death. Through our baptism we joined the church. And together we live already a new and Easter life as we await Jesus’ return in glory.

Our worship together is who we are and it is founded on our Easter faith.

Acts 2: 14,22-33
Psalm 15 (16)
1 Peter 1: 17-21
Luke 24: 13-35

The Road to Emmaus. Jesus’ true identity is revealed to two disciples as he hands them bread at supper. Their experience of Jesus’ risen presence anticipates how they will know him in the Eucharist. He takes, blesses, breaks and shares the bread (can you identify each of these four actions in our own Sunday celebration?). In the last of these he is made known, before vanishing from their sight. But there is more. The disciples reflect back on their walk to the village and Jesus’ explanation of the scriptures and how they were fulfilled in the events of Easter. What an experience that must have been! Their hearts burned within them as Jesus made known God’s word. This twofold experience - of knowing the risen Lord in word and sacrament - is to be ours in each Eucharist we celebrate until the Lord returns. Peter preaches the risen Lord in Acts and does so in the power of the Spirit. Peter reminds us of our privileged status as those ransomed by so precious a victim.

Adoration aye be giv­en…
…so St John Henry Newman begins the final verse of his celebrated hymn, Firmly I believe and truly. We are used to singing the hymn as a part of our regular worship. But it was originally composed for Newman’s Dream of Gerontius, serving as the title character’s statement of faith as he prepares to pass from this life to the next. (Even more famous from Newman’s Dream is Praise to the holiest in the height).

Newman is following ancient Christian tradition in adding this final verse in worship (or adoration) of the Trinity. We use these doxologies - singings of glory - at the end of psalms and canticles, especially in the daily offices, most notably Morning and Evening Prayer.

This custom reminds us that the adoration of God is the purpose and the summit of our prayers. The church exists to praise God. Individually, our vocation as baptised Christians is to sing God’s praises.

Our modern liturgy is very good at including the people of God and making known his word. But the liturgy is meant to be more than an ecclesiastical classroom and accessibility can easily come at the price of mystery. If we are to be effective in our mission and our pastoral care, we have also to be effective - if the is the right word - in our core function of praising God.

For this reason, I am asking our parish to consider how we might have times set aside purely for worship in the form of adoring the Blessed Sacrament (or Holy Hour). Do please consider how this might work and speak to me if you have questions or suggestions.

In Eastertide we hear frequently from the book of Acts. This is St Luke’s ‘volume 2’ to his Gospel, his account of the life of the infant church. Next week’s reading gives us a dynamic blueprint for authentic Christian living. The disciples' hallmark is a devotedness to the Apostles’ teaching, the fellowship of their community, the Eucharist and prayer (probably intercession). These are key things in our faith two thousand years later. Our discipleship today is also built on the apostolic faith, sustained by our worshipping community, whose 'source and summit' is the Eucharist. And we play our part in the wider world not least by praying for it. St Peter rejoices in the value and resilience of this faith. And St Thomas is moved to faith when he is greeted with words of peace from the risen Lord. May we echo St Thomas this Eastertide and greet the risen Saviour as our Lord and our God!
