    Territorial Acknowledgement

    The land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee

    and Anishinabek Nations, and the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation. This territory

    was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between

    the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for

    the resources around the Great Lakes. This territory is also covered by the Toronto Purchase.

    Today, Toronto is home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island.

    THE GATHERING OF THE COMMUNITY

    Bishop The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,

    and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.

    All And also with you.

    Bishop Almighty God,

    All to you all hearts are open, all desires known,

    and from you no secrets are hidden.

    Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts

    by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you,

    and worthily magnify your holy name;

    through Christ our Lord. Amen.

    The Collect Please remain standing

    Bishop Let us pray.

    Almighty God,

    whose people are knit together in one holy Church,

    the mystical Body of your Son,

    grant us grace to follow your blessed saints

    in lives of faith and commitment,

    and to know the inexpressible joys you have prepared

    for those who love you;

    through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord,

    who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

    one God, now and for ever. Amen.

    THE PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD Please be seated

    The First Reading Revelation 7.9-17 Read by Nora Lowe

    Reader A reading from the Book of Revelation.

    After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every

    nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the

    Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice,

    saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all

    the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and

    they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, singing, "Amen! Blessing and

    glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might be to our God forever

    and ever! Amen." Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, "Who are these, robed in

    white, and where have they come from?" I said to him, "Sir, you are the one that knows."

    Then he said to me, "These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed

    their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason they are before the

    throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on

    the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not

    strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the centre of the throne will be their

    shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away

    every tear from their eyes."

    Reader The word of the Lord.

    All Thanks be to God.

    Psalm 34.1-10, 22 Benedicam Domino. Sung by the Cantor

    I I WILL alway give thanks unto the Lord; /

    his praise shall ever be in my mouth. 2

    My soul shall make her boast in the Lord; /

    the humble shall hear thereof and be glad. 3 O praise the lord with me, /

    and let us magnify his Name together. 4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; /

    yea, he delivered me out of all my fears. 5 O look unto him and be lightened; /

    and your faces shall not be ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him; /

    yea, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the Lord tarrieth round about them that fear him, /

    and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see how gracious the Lord is: /

    blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O fear the Lord, ye that are his saints; /

    for they that fear him lack nothing. 10

    The lions do lack, and suffer hunger; /

    but they who seek the Lord shall want no manner of thing that is good. 22

    The Lord delivereth the souls of his servants; /

    and all they that put their trust in him shall not be destitute.

    The Second Reading 1 John 3.1-3

    Reader A reading from the First Book of John. Read by Nora Lowe

    See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is

    what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we

    are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this:

    when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this

    hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

    Reader The word of the Lord.

    All Thanks be to God.

    The Holy Gospel Matthew 5.1-12

    Gospeller The Lord be with you.

    All And also with you. Gospeller The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew.

    All Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

    When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples

    came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit,

    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

    Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst

    for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

    Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will

    be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for

    theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you

    and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your

    reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before

    you."

    Gospeller The Gospel of Christ.

    All Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

    Hymn Blest Are the Pure in Heart (vs. 3-4) FRANCONIA

    Sung by Cantor

    Sermon The Reverend Canon Dr. David Neelands Please be seated

    The Nicene Creed Please stand

    Bishop: Let us confess our faith, as we say,

    All: We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,

    maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

    We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

    eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light,

    true God from true God, begotten, not made,

    of one being with the Father.

    Through him all things were made.

  • 7

    For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven:

    by the power of the Holy Spirit

    he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

    For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;

    he suffered death and was buried.

    On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures;

    he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

    He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

    and his kingdom will have no end.

    We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

    who proceeds from the Father.

    With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.

    He has spoken through the prophets.

    We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

    We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

    We look for the resurrection of the dead,

    and the life of the world to come. Amen.

    Bishop invites congregation to be seated.

    The Presentation Congregation is seated

    Presenters Kevin, Bishop in the Church of God, on behalf of the clergy and people of the

    Diocese of Toronto, we present you Michael to be ordained a priest in Christ’s

    holy catholic Church.

    Bishop Has he been selected in accordance with the canons and customs of this

    Church? And do you believe his manner of life to be suitable to the exercise of

    this ministry?

    Presenters We certify to you that he has been duly selected, and we believe him to be

    qualified for this order.

    The Bishop says to the Ordinand

    Bishop Will you be loyal to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of Christ as this

  • 8

    Church has received them? And will you, in accordance with the canons of

    this Church, obey your bishop and other ministers who may have authority

    over you and your work?

    Ordinand I am willing and ready to do so; and I solemnly declare that I do believe the

    holy scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the word of God, and to

    contain all things necessary to salvation; and I do solemnly promise to

    conform to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Anglican Church of

    Canada.

    Presenters return to seats.

    Bishop invites congregation to please stand.

    Bishop Dear friends in Christ, you know the importance of this ministry, and the

    weight of your responsibility in presenting Michael Perry for ordination to the

    sacred priesthood. Therefore, if any of you know any impediment or crime

    for which we should not proceed, come forward now and make it known.

    If no objection is made, the Bishop continues.

    Bishop Is it your will that Michael be ordained a priest?

    All It is.

    Bishop Will you uphold him in this ministry?

    All We will. Bishop invites congregation to be seated.

    The Examination Congregation is seated.

    The Ordinand stands before the Bishop.

    Bishop Michael, the Church is the family of God, the body of Christ, and the temple

    of the Holy Spirit. All baptized people are called to make Christ known as

    Saviour and Lord, and to share in the renewing of his world. Now you are

    called to work as a pastor, priest, and teacher, together with your bishop and

    fellow presbyters, and to take your share in the councils of the Church.

    As a priest, it will be your task to proclaim by word and deed the gospel of

    Jesus Christ, and to fashion your life in accordance with its precepts. You are

    to love and serve the people among whom you work, caring alike for young

    and old, strong and weak, rich and poor. You are to preach, to declare God’s

  • 9

    forgiveness to penitent sinners, to pronounce God’s blessing, to preside at the

    administration of holy baptism and at the celebration of the mysteries of

    Christ’s body and blood, and to perform the other ministrations entrusted to

    you.

    In all that you do, you are to nourish Christ’s people from the riches of his

    grace, and to strengthen them to glorify God in this life and in the life to come.

    Do you believe that you are truly called by God and his Church to this

    priesthood?

    Ordinand I believe I am so called.

    Bishop Do you now in the presence of the Church commit yourself to this trust and

    responsibility?

    Ordinand I do.

    Bishop Will you respect and be guided by the pastoral direction and leadership of

    your bishop?

    Ordinand I will.

    Bishop Will you be diligent in the reading and study of the holy scriptures, and in

    seeking the knowledge of such things as may make you a stronger and more

    able minister of Christ?

    Ordinand I will.

    Bishop Will you endeavour so to minister the word of God and the sacraments of the

    new covenant, that the reconciling love of Christ may be known and received?

    Ordinand I will.

    Bishop Will you undertake to be a faithful pastor to all whom you are called to serve,

    labouring together with them and with your fellow ministers to build up the

    family of God?

    Ordinand I will.

    Bishop Will you do your best to pattern your life in accordance with the teachings of

    Christ, so that you may be a wholesome example to your people?

    Ordinand I will.

    Bishop Will you persevere in prayer, both in public and in private, asking God’s

    grace, both for yourself and for others, and offering all your labours to God,

  • 10

    through the mediation of Jesus Christ, and in the sanctification of the Holy

    Spirit?

    Ordinand I will.

    Bishop May the Lord who has given you the will to do these things give you the grace

    and power to perform them.

    Ordinand Amen.

    Hymn Come Holy Ghost, Our Souls Inspire VENI CREATOR SPIRITUS

    Please kneel Bishop Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, Cantor And lighten with celestial fire…

    A period of silent prayer follows. The Bishop stands with the priests who assist and begins the

    following Prayer of Consecration.

    Bishop We praise and glorify you, almighty Father, because you have formed throughout

    the world a holy people for your own possession, a royal priesthood, a universal

    Church.

    We praise and glorify you because you have given us your only Son Jesus Christ

    to be the Apostle and High Priest of our faith, and the Shepherd of our souls.

    We praise and glorify you that by his death Christ has overcome death; and that,

    having ascended into heaven, he has given his gifts abundantly to your people,

    making some, apostles; some, prophets; some, evangelists; some, pastors and

    teachers; to equip them for the work of ministry and to build up his Body.

    And now we give you thanks that you have called this your servant to share this

    ministry entrusted to your Church.

    Send down your Holy Spirit upon your servant Michael whom we now

    consecrate in your name to the office and work of a priest in the Church.

    The Bishop then continues, with hands extended.

    Almighty Father, give to this your servant grace and power to fulfill his ministry

    among the people committed to his charge; to watch over them and care for them;

    to absolve and bless them in your name; and to proclaim the gospel of your

    salvation. Set him among your people to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable in

    your sight, and as you have called him to your service, make him by the gift of

    your Holy Spirit worthy of his calling. Give him wisdom and discipline to work

    faithfully with all his fellow servants in Christ, that the world may come to know

    your glory and your love.

  • 13

    Accept our prayers, most merciful Father, through your Son Jesus Christ our

    Lord, to whom, with you and your Holy Spirit, belong glory and honour, worship

    and praise, now and for ever.

    All Amen.

    The Vesting

    God be in mine eyes, and in my looking;

    God be in my mouth, and in my speaking;

    THE CELEBRATION OF THE EUCHARIST

    Offertory Hymn Lord, You Give the Great Commission ABBOT’S LEIGH

    When the elements for Communion are set the altar is censed by the Bishop.

    Prayer over the Gifts – please stand

    Bishop Let us pray:

    Holy and mighty God,

    we give you thanks for the triumph of Christ

  • 14

    in the lives of all his saints.

    Receive all we offer you this day,

    and help us, like them, to run our course with faith,

    that we may come to your eternal kingdom.

    We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

    The Great Thanksgiving

    Bishop The Lord be with you.

    All And also with you. Bishop Lift up your hearts.

    All We lift them to the Lord.

    Bishop Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

    All It is right to give our thanks and praise.

    Bishop Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of heaven and earth; in the multitude of

    your saints you have surrounded us with so great a cloud of witnesses, that we,

    rejoicing in their fellowship, may run with patience the race that is set before us,

    and together with them receive the crown of glory that never fades away.

    Therefore with angels and archangels and with all who have served you in every

    age, we raise our voices to proclaim the glory of your name.

    All (Said) Holy, holy, holy, Lord, God of power and might,

    Heaven and earth are full, full of your glory.

    Hosanna in the highest.

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

    Hosanna in the highest.

    Bishop We give thanks to you, Lord our God,

    for the goodness and love

    you have made known to us in creation;

    in calling Israel to be your people;

    in your Word spoken through the prophets;

    and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus your Son.

    For in these last days you sent him

    to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary,

    to be the Saviour and Redeemer of the world.

  • 15

    In him, you have delivered us from evil,

    and made us worthy to stand before you.

    In him, you have brought us out of error into truth,

    out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

    On the night he was handed over to suffering and death,

    a death he freely accepted, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread;

    and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it,

    and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat:

    this is my body which is given for you.

    Do this for the remembrance of me.”

    After supper he took the cup of wine;

    and when he had given thanks, he 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.

    Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

    Therefore, Father, according to his command,

    All we remember his death,

    we proclaim his resurrection,

    we await his coming in glory;

    Bishop and we offer our sacrifice, of praise and thanksgiving

    to you, Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation,

    this bread and this wine.

    We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts,

    that they may be the sacrament of the body of Christ

    and his blood of the new covenant.

    Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we, made acceptable in him,

    may be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

    In the fullness of time, reconcile all things in Christ,

    and make them new, and bring us to that city of light

    where you dwell with all your sons and daughters;

    through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation,

    the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation;

    by whom, and with whom, and in whom,

    in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

  • 16

    all honour and glory are yours, almighty Father, now and for ever.

    All Amen.

    The Lord’s Prayer

    Bishop As our Saviour taught us, we are bold to say,

    All Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,

    thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

    Give us this day our daily bread.

    And forgive us our trespasses,

    as we forgive those who trespass against us.

    And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

    For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,

    for ever and ever. Amen.

    The Breaking of the Bread

    Bishop “I am the bread which has come down from heaven,” says the Lord.

    All Give us this bread for ever. Bishop “I am the vine, you are the branches.”

    All May we dwell in him, as he lives in us.

    Bishop The gifts of God for the People of God.

    All Thanks be to God.

    Agnus Dei: Missa Ubi Caritas BOB HURD

    Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi: miserere nobis, miserere nobis Jesus, the Bread of Life, you take away the sin of the world: Jesus, the Prince of Peace, you take away the sin of the world: Jesus, the Servant of God, you take away the sin of the world: Jesus, our Paschal Sacrifice, you take away the sin of the world: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi: Dona nobis pacem, dona nobis pacem.

    HOLY COMMUNION

    Holy Communion will be served in one kind only (bread).

    Please proceed to the standing Communion station at the chancel steps following the direction of the sides-people.

    Proceed up the centre aisle. Receive the wafer in your hands.

    Step to the floor marking on the pulpit (left) or lectern (right) side.

    Remove your mask and consume the wafer.

    Replace your mask and return to your pew from the side aisle.

    If you prefer a blessing, please indicate this to the priest. It will be given from a distance.

    Communion Hymn: Ubi Caritas Deus ibi est TAIZÉ

    Ubi caritas, et amor, ubi caritas Deus ibi est. Where there is charity, selfless love, where there is charity, God is truly there. God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that all who believe in him may not perish but may have eternal life. God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be save through him. Let us love one another because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his Son into the world so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that God, first, loved us. No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made perfect in us. We have known and believe the love that God has for us.

    God is love and those who abide in love, abide in God and God abides in them.

    Vere passum immolatum in crucis pro homine.

    Cuius latus perforatum unda fluxit sanguine.

    Esto nobis praegustatum in mortis examine.

    O dulcis, o pie, O Jesu Fili Mariae, Miserere mei. Amen.

    All hail, O true body, of the blessed virgin born;

    which in anguish to redeem us did’st suffer upon the cross;

    from whose side, when pierced by spear,

    there came forth both water and blood:

    Be to us at our last hour the source of consolation.

    O loving, O holy, O Jesu, thou Son of Mary, O have mercy on me. Amen.

    Prayer after Communion Please stand

    Bishop Let us pray.

    Almighty Father, we thank you for feeding us with the holy food of the body and

    blood of your Son, and for uniting us through him in the fellowship of your Holy

    Spirit. We thank you for raising up among us faithful servants for the ministry of

    your word and sacraments. We pray that Michael may be to us a godly example in

    word and action, in love and patience, and in holiness of life. Grant that we, with

    him, may serve you now, and always rejoice in your glory; through Jesus Christ

    your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,

    now and for ever.

    All Amen.
