MUSIC NOTES
Mendelssohn's third organ sonata in A Major was arranged in its final form in 1845
for publication as part of his Six Sonatas, but it is in fact a compilation of several
earlier elements. The first movements begins and ends with a majestically confident
march, which he composed as the processional for his sister Fanny's wedding. But
the middle section consists of a fugue in A minor, based on a motive full of
questioning and concern. While the hands explore this material, the pedal quotes
Luther's paraphrase of Psalm 130, “From deepest woe I cry to thee”. This is hymn
151 in our hymnal, and in its three verses we can easily see connections both to
Mendelssohn's sonata and the propers of today's Mass. We recognize in the Introit
and Offertory the disappointment and sadness of those who have tried to live
without a reliance on God's mercy and grace, but in the final verse of Luther's
hymn, in Mendelssohn's return from deepest woe to the assurance of the opening
theme, and in the Communion antiphon, we are remind ed that God's grace is
eternally present in Word and Sacrament for those who trust God. Today's postlude,
the second movement of the same sonata, is a tranquil meditation on this same
journey, an assurance that the composition, and our lives, will really e nd in a major
key.
Jacquet of Mantua, the composer of today's communion motet, was born in Vitré,
France, but spent his life working in Italy. In 1526 he became maestro di cappella at
the cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Mantua. His employer Cardinal Ercole
Gonzaga was fond of Jacquet, and the relationship was mutually beneficial; when
Gonzaga became the president of the Council of Trent, and the most enthusiastic
supporter of the Counter-Reformation, he was a forceful advocate for the music of
his favorite composer. This motet lies right on the border of the styles of the
15 th and 16 th centuries: the voices imitate each other in a way that would be fully
developed by Palestrina, but there are also sections of rich harmony when all the
voices sing at once, in the style of Josquin, particularly in the Alleluia, expressing the
sheer joy that the Eucharist can bring to us.

Collect of the Day
Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People
And also with you.
Celebrant Let us pray.
O God, you declare your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Grant
us the fullness of your grace, that we, running to obtain your promises, may become
partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading—Numbers 11: 4-16, 10-16, 24-29
The rabble among them had a strong craving; and the Israelites also wept again, and
said, "If only we had meat to eat! We remember the fish we used to eat in Egypt for
nothing, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now
our strength is dried up, and there is nothing at all but this manna to look at."
Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, all at the entrances of
their tents. Then the LORD became very angry, and Moses was displeased. So
Moses said to the LORD, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why have I
not found favor in your sight, that you lay the burden of all this people on me? Did
I conceive all this people? Did I give birth to th em, that you should say to me,
‘Carry them in your bosom, as a nurse carries a sucking child,’ to the land that you
promised on oath to their ancestors? Where am I to get meat to give to all this
people? For they come weeping to me and say, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ I am not able
to carry all this people alone, for they are too heavy for me. If this is the way you are
going to treat me, put me to death at once--if I have found favor in your sight--and
do not let me see my misery.” So the LORD said to Moses, “ Gather for me seventy
of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers
over them; bring them to the tent of meeting, and have them take their place there
with you. So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD ; and he
gathered seventy elders of the people, and placed them all around the tent. Then the
LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that
was on him and put it on the seventy elders; and when the spirit rested upon them,
they prophesied. But they did not do so again. Two men remained in the camp, one
named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were
among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they
prophesied in the camp. And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad
are prophesying in the camp.” And Joshua son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, one
8
of his chosen men, said, “My lord Moses, stop them!” But Moses said to him, “Are
you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that
the LORD would put his spirit on them!”

Second Reading—James 4: 7-12, 13:5-6
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners,
and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep. Let your
laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection. Humble yourselves
before the Lord, and he will exalt you. Do not speak evil against one another,
brothers and sisters. Whoever speaks evil against another or judges another, speaks
evil against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer
of the law but a judge. There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to
destroy. So who, then, are you to judge your neighbor? Come now, you who say,
“Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a town and spend a year there,
doing business and making money.” Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will
bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then
vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wishes, we will live and do this or
that." As it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. Anyone, then,
who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin. Come now, you
rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have
rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their
rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up
treasure for the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields,
which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached
the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure;
you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and
murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.

People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and
we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not stop
him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward
to speak evil of me. Whoever is not against us is for us. For truly I tell you, whoever
gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no
means lose the reward. “ If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these
little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were
hung around your neck and you were thrown into th e sea. If your hand causes you
to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two
hands and to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to
stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and to
be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out; it is better
11
for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and to be
thrown into hell, where their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched.

The people remain standing. The Celebrant continues
We acclaim you holy Lord, glorious in power. Your mighty works reveal your
wisdom and love. You formed us in your own image, giving the whole world into
our care, so that, in obedience to you, our Creator, we might rule and serve all your
creatures. When our disobedience took us far from you, you did not abandon us to
the power of death. In your mercy you came to your help, so that in seeking you we
might find you. Again and again you called us into covenant with you , and through
the prophets you taught us to hope for salvation.
Father, you loved the world so much that in the fullness of time you sent your
only son to be our Savior. Incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, he
lived as one of us, yet without sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of
salvation; to prisoners, freedom; to the sorrowful, joy. To fulfill your purpose he
gave himself up to death; and, rising from the grave, destroyed death, and made the
whole creation new. And, that we might live no longer for ourselves, but for him
who died and rose for us, he sent the Holy Spirit, his own first gift for those who
believe, to complete his work in the world, and to bring to fulfillment the
sanctification of all.
When the hour had come for him to be glorified by you, his heavenly Father,
having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end; at supper
with them he 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.”
Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption. Recalling Christ’s death
and his descent among the dead, proclaiming his resurrection and asce nsion to you
right hand, awaiting his coming in glory; and offering to you, from the gifts you
have give us, this bread and this cup, we praise you and we bless you.

Lord, we pray that in your goodness and mercy your Holy Spirit may descend upon
us, and upon these gifts, sanctifying them and showing them to be holy gifts for
your holy people, the bread of life and the cup of salvation, the Body and Blood of
your Son Jesus Christ. Grant that all who share this bread and cup may become one
body and one spirit, a living sacrifice in Christ, to the praise of your Name.
Remember, Lord, your one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, redeemed by the
blood of your Christ. Reveal its unity, guard its faith, and preserve it in peace.
Remember all who minister in your Church. Remember all your people, and those
who seek your truth. Remember all who have died in the peace of Christ, and those
whose faith is known to you alone; bring them into the place of eternal joy and light.
And grant that we may find our inheritance with the Blessed Virgin Mary, with
patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and all the saints who have found favor
with you in ages past. We praise you in union with them and give you glory through
your Son Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, all honor and glory are yours,
Almighty God and Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever.

consolata est in humilitate mea. Ps.
Beati immaculate in via, qui ambulant
in lege Domini.
Mode 4
Remember your promise to your servant,
O Lord, because you have given me hope:
this is my consolation, and it gives me
life. Ps. Happy are they whose way is
blameless: who walk in the law of the
Lord.
Motet—O Sacrum Convivium
O sacrum convivium! in quo Christus
sumitur: recolitur memoria passionis eius:
mens impletur gratia: et futurae gloriae
nobis pignus datur. Alleluia.
Jacquet of Mantua (1483-1559)
O sacred banquet! in which Christ is
received, the memory of his Passion is
renewed, the mind is filled with grace,
and a pledge of future glory to us is
given. Alleluia.
Postcommunion Prayer
Let these heavenly mysteries bring health to our bodies and minds, O Lord: that we,
who in proclaiming the death of Jesus Christ your Son have shared in his suffering, may
also be made partakers of his divine nature, who lives and reigns forever and ever.
Amen.

Announcements
Special Note about Receiving the Blessed Sacrament
At the end of the Eucharistic prayer when the celebrant says “The Gifts of God for the People of God,” all
people are welcome to the High Altar. If for any reason one does not wish to receive Communion or is not
baptized, he or she is most welcome to recei ve a blessing, indicated by crossing both arms over one’s chest. If you
wish to discuss or receive baptism (initiation into the Christian faith), please speak to the priest.
You may receive the bread directly onto your tongue or into folded hands, and th en after consuming the
bread, may drink the wine from the chalice. If you keep the bread in your hands, it is our custom that a
chalice bearer will dip it into the wine, and then place it on your tongue.
The ministers will bring the Sacrament to those who tell an usher that they cannot easily climb the steps.
Low-gluten bread is available. Tell an usher beforehand, or if necessary, tell the priest at the altar rail that you
need to receive the low-gluten bread. If one does not wish to receive either the wine or bread, be assured that the
traditional theology of the church is that Christ is fully present in both the consecrated bread and wine, thus not
requiring both to be received to participate in the benefits of the sacrament.

We welcome our visitors to Grace Church today. Please, if you will, complete a
visitor’s card in the pew, placing in the offering plate.

Fr. Bates continues what looks like will be a successful Spiritual Reading Group in
the All Saints Chapel. We had seven people participate in the first week! Books are
provided, no reading is required beforehand, and drop -ins are welcome each week.
We have begun reading and discussing What is Anglicanism by Urban T. Holmes III,
as well as have a time of prayer each week in the group. A $12 donation for the
book will be welcomed. Please talk to Father Bates for more information.
T H E O L O G Y B O OK G R OU P
Our theology book group will meet two weeks from Sunday on October 11 at
12:30 p.m. to discuss Kevin Mumford’s Newark: A History of Race, Rights, and Riots
in America. Two copies of the book are available this week for $17 at Coffee Hour.
23
On Sunday, November 8, we will discuss Stephen Prothero’s American Jesus: How
the Son of God Became a National Icon, a history of images and concepts of Jesus in
American culture. Request a copy for $11 from Father Bates. Copies can also be
ordered through any bookstore or at Amazon.com.
WEEKDAY BIBLE STUDY
Father Bates is contemplating leading a weekday Bible Study on Thursdays from
11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. before Mass. The Bible Study will be led according to the
ancient Lectio Divina tradition, which is a prayerful and contemplative approach to
Bible Study. Please let Father Bates know if you are interested, since we need a
minimum of six interested participants. No preparation is necess ary and weekly
attendance is encouraged, but not necessary.
RECEPTION FOR PHILIP FILLION
I want to thank Philip Fillion, our Interim Director of Music, who has worked hard
over the past two months to plan, play, and conduct our liturgical music. He
especially made a valiant and successful effort in recruiting four completely new
professional singers for the beginning of our choir season. W e will thank Philip
and his wife Melody with a special reception on their last Sunday with us , October
25, 2015.
S T A I N E D G L A S S R E S T OR A T I ON C A M P A I G N
We would like to thank everyone who has already made a donation or pledge to the
Stained Glass Restoration Campaign. We now have just over $48,000 toward the
campaign, nearly half the total distance. Please continue to pray and discern your
level of ability to help. Any donation amount is welcome. Pledges over a longer
period of time will also be welcome; please contact Jim Cramer or Fr. Bates. You
