Collect
Lord of all life and power, who through the mighty resurrection of your Son
overcame the old order of sin and death to make all things new in him: grant that we,
being dead to sin and alive to you in Jesus Christ, may reign with him in glory; to
whom with you and the Holy Spirit be praise and honour, glory and might, now and
in all eternity. Amen.
A reading from Isaiah
Isaiah 25. 6-9
On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a
feast of well-matured wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-matured wines
strained clear. And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all
peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death for ever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his
people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said
on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 118. 14-24
14 The Lord is my strength and / my de- /fence:
and is be-/come / my sal-/vation.
15 The sound of joy and deliverance is in the / dwellings • of the / righteous:
the right hand of the Lord bringeth / mighty / things to / pass.
16 The right hand of the Lord / is ex- / alted:
the right hand of the Lord bringeth / mighty / things to / pass.
17 I shall not / die, but / live:
and de-/ clare the / works • of the / Lord.
18 The Lord hath chastened me a-/bove / measure:
but he hath not given me / over / unto / death.
19 Open me the / gates of / righteousness:
that I may enter into them and give / thanks / unto • the / Lord.
20 This is the / gate • of the / Lord:
the righteous shall / enter / into / it.
21 I will thank thee because / thou hast / answered me:
and art be-/come / my sal-/vation.
22 The same stone which the / builders • re-/fused:
is be-/come the / chief / corner-stone.
23 This is the / Lord's / doing:
and it is / marvel • lous / in our / eyes.
24 This is the day which the / Lord hath / made:
let us re-/joice / and be / glad in it.
A reading from Acts of the Apostles
Acts 10. 34-43
Then Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly understand that God shows no partiality,
but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to
him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching 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.’
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.
Thanks be to God.
Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to Saint Mark
Mark 16. 1-8
Glory to you, O Lord
When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and
Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the
first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been
saying to one another, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the
tomb?’ When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had
already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed
in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them,
‘Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He
has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his
disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him,
just as he told you.’ So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and
amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to You, O Christ.

In order to carry on the work of the Church in and through this Cathedral Parish, not
least the upkeep of this magnificent building, we rely substantially on your generous
giving. A significant proportion of our funds is raised through Christian Stewardship
among our regular worshippers.
If you are a taxpayer, we invite you to give by means of GWADD (Give With a
Direct Debit), or other form of Gift Aided donation. This means we can claim the tax
back and so your donation increases by 25%. We are enormously grateful to all who
do this as an expression of their gratitude for God’s great goodness.
