Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives.
Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being

Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.
Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment.
Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health
Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health.
Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections.
Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits.
Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships
Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.
Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding.
Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices
Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness.
Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

The Penitential Rite
The sacrifice of God is a broken and contrite heart. O God, you
will not despise.
Dear friends in Christ, as we prepare to worship almighty God,
let us with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we
may obtain forgiveness by God’s infinite goodness and mercy.
Silence
All: Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned
against you in thought, word and deed, by what we have
done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved
you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours
as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and
forgive us, that we may delight in your will, and walk in
your ways to the glory of your name. Amen.
Almighty God, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you
from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
3. and keep you in eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The Proclamation of the Word
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 43: 16-21
Read by Teresa Johnson
Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the
mighty waters, who brings out chariot and horse, army and
warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished,
quenched like a wick: Do not remember the former things, or
consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it
springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the
wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild animals will
honour me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the
wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen
people, the people whom I formed for myself so that they might
declare my praise.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 126
4. When the LORD restored the for-tunes of Zi-on, *
then were we like those who dream.
Then was our mouth fill’d with laugh-ter, *
and our tongue with shouts of joy.
Then they said a-mong the na-tions, *
“The LORD has done great things for them.”
The LORD has done great things for us, *
and we are glad in-deed.
Restore our for-tunes, O LORD, *
like the watercourses of the Ne-gev.
Those who sow’d with tears *
will reap with songs of joy.
Those who go out weeping, carry-ing the seed, *
will come again with joy should-er-ing their sheaves.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Holy Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and e-ver shall be:
world without end A-men.

PHILIPPIANS 3: 4b-14 Read by Helen Taylor
If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have
more: circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of
Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews;
as to the law, a Pharisee, as to zeal, a persecutor of the church;
as to righteousness under the law, blameless. Yet whatever gains
I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ.
More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the
surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake
I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as
rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not
5. having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but
one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness
from God based on faith. I want to know Christ and the power
of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming
like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection
from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or have
already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own,
because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not
consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do:
forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies
ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly
call of God in Christ Jesus.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

All: Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home
of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave
a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those
at the table with him. Mary took a pound of costly perfume
made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with
her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about
to betray him), said, “Why was this perfume not sold for three
hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?” (He said this
not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief;
he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into
it.) Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might
keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with
you, but you do not always have me.”
Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ:
All: Praise be to thee, O Christ.

Offertory Hymn
I cannot tell why He, whom angels worship,
Should set His love upon the sons of men,
Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wand’rers,
To bring them back, they know not how or when.
But this I know, that He was born of Mary,
When Bethl’hem’s manger was His only home,
And that He lived at Nazareth and labored,
And so the Savior, Savior of the world, is come.
I cannot tell how silently He suffered,
As with His peace He graced this place of tears,
Or how His heart upon the Cross was broken,
The crown of pain to three and thirty years.
But this I know, He heals the broken-hearted,
And stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear,
And lifts the burden from the heavy laden,
For yet the Savior, Savior of the world, is here.
Anthem: Lord, let me know mine end – Maurice Greene (please

Music Notes:
In honour of St. Patrick all of this morning’s hymn texts or
tunes are of Irish origin.
One of the most prolific hymn writers of the 19th century was
Cecil Frances Humphreys Alexander (1818-1895). Alexander’s
husband was William Alexander, bishop of Derry and Raphoe,
and later the Anglican primate for Ireland. Cecil and her sister
founded a school for the deaf, and she set up the Girls’ Friendly
Society in Londonderry. Cecil Alexander wrote about 400
hymns in her lifetime, including ‘Once in royal David’s city’,
‘All things bright and beautiful’, ‘There is a green hill far
away’ and ‘Jesus calls us o’er the tumult’.
Although written by an English-born Canadian professor
(Wycliffe College) and later an Australian bishop, Charles Venn
Pilcher (who, incidentally, also played bass clarinet in the
Toronto Symphony from 1909 to 1918), the text of “Here, Lord,
we take the broken bread” is set to a traditional Irish tune (St.
Columba) which was arranged by the Irish-born composer, Sir
Charles Stanford.
10. Perhaps the most famous Irish hymn is “Be Thou My Vision”.
The words are attributed to Dallan Forgaill from the 8th Century
and versed by Eleanor H. Hull in 1912. The melody is ‘Slane’,
of Irish folk origin. It's named after Slane Hill where in 433 AD
St. Patrick lit a fire in honor of Easter and in defiance of High
King Logaire's decree that no-one should light fires before his
pagan holiday was celebrated. Logaire was so impressed by
Patrick’s devotion that, despite his defiance (or perhaps because
of it), he let him continue his missionary work.
“Lord, let me know mine end” is arguably the best anthem
written in 18th century England. The text is taken from Psalm
39 in which the psalmist recognises the brevity and uncertainty
of life, the sinfulness of man and the need to live a life pleasing
to God, as this is his only hope. This beautiful and sincere
anthem by Maurice Greene (1696-1755) contains expressive
and effective contrapuntal vocal parts over an organ
accompaniment, a rarity in its day. The duet for soprano and
alto in the middle of the anthem finds the two voices interlacing
and changing position as they consider the futility of man's
desires.
Lord, let me know mine end and the number of my days,
That I may be certified how long I have to live.
Behold, Thou hast made my days as it were a span long;
And mine age is as nothing in respect of Thee,
And verily, ev'ry man living is altogether vanity,
For man walketh in a vain shadow
And disquieteth himself in vain,
He heapeth up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them.
And now, Lord, what is my hope?
Truly my hope is even in Thee.
Hear my pray'r, O Lord
And with Thy ears consider my calling,
Hold not Thy peace at my tears!
11. O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength before I go
hence
And be no more seen.
