SEVENW-FIVE YEARS AGO, on 21st January 1924 the present organ at St Edward's was dedicated by the Lord Bishop of ilandaff. The organ was built by Mr J.GiI1; at a cost of £1200, and was described at the time as "one of the most ~rnportant organs corr~pletely buiit in Cardiff for the last 30 years". 'The instrument was intended, when completed, to have 43 stops and three manuals. The completion was never to be accomplished with regard to the stops, but in the recent refurbishment, the third manuat was brought into play by "borrowing" from the other ranks of pipes - a welcome addit~on to the versatility of the instrument.

I such is the significance of the even! itself

The Baptism of Jesus is a great epiphany evenf and fhe presence of John the Bapfist is very important. For John stands as the last in a greaf line of prophets, going back through the Old Tesfament, calling people to turn back fo God. For Mark this encounter between John and Jesus is the poinf where the Old lesfamenf meets fhe ~Vew Tesfamenf, fhe Old Tesfament becomes the New Testament.

John reccrgnises Jesus and in a greaf act of revelation God declares "thou ad my beloved Son; with thee 1 am well pleased. " There can be liffle doubt now who Jesus is: here is the Son of God living among us. We, like John, are called fo recognise his presence among us and to respond in faith as John did. Fr Gary. :

"Consider your caly After reading of the Baptism of Jesu:; lasf week, which tnarks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, today we see Jesus at work among His people.

If is irnporfanf to note that before Jesus began to heai and teach fhe people he went to the mountain fo pray. Before aN the major evenfs in Jesus' life he pfayed. Phrough prayer, asking always "thy will be donef: Jesus considered fhe call of the Father, tliscerned God's will and knew whaf he was c~~ l l ed to do.

In the Epistle Paul reminds the Church af Corinth and us that the call df God is to US ALL and thaf we are to consider vely caref~illy whaf God is calling us Po do. This is padicula~~y important at a time when the contribution of the laity is becoming ever more vital for the Church's, and fherefore Christ's, mission to the world.

We, too, are urged seriously fo consider our call froin Goc'. Foilowing the example of Christ, by praying "thy wilt be doiie" we will discern God's will and perhaps more importantfy have the courage fo respond.

Ordinary Tlme is marked by a return to the green vestments worn by the priest and the green altar frontais used in Church. This is an appropriate cclour for 11s today as we celebrate whaf is commor?/y called Creafian Sunday.

Green is fhe colocn of creafiot? and soon a// the browns of autumn and winter will begin to give way fo fhe bright greens which appear as natiire awakens eon? her winter sleep.

Today we give thanks to God, fhe creator of heave,? and earth, of all thaf is seen and unseen, as we say in the creed. The giff of fullness of life comes only from God hitnseff as Jesus showed as he brought healing to the sick man in today's Gospel. As Jesus says, "the son can do nothing of his own accord. but only whaf he sees fhe Father doing" If fhis is true of Jesus, /?OW much more is it true for

1 us? As we look around us at the / wonders of creation let us pray ihai

The story of Easter for me is very simple - Jesus died, he was burfed, but NOW HE LIVES. To that fhe New Testament bears its wifness and to fhaf Christian people have borne their witness clown the ages. We are sf# Ilving "in &3sferU because the risen Jesus is '?in Ollr midst" !?OW and alwWs. We can get bogged down in sferite and fr(rifless argument about what the writers of the New Testament arc? trying to afficulafe and communicate ~bor i f the Resurrecfion but, at fhe end, When all is said and done, this fact remains: "He is risen, he is here,, T'// his d,scjp,es he is going before you. . . you will see hirn as he has told you, " (Mat-k f6: 7) Be/ieve if, my friends - The Lord ;s risen!

AOGA TlON S U W A Y As we continue the cefebrafjo~s of the Easter season, we are today.

to respond to iove God shows to us ,n prayer, The Rogafion Days are hisforically assoc- iated with intercessions, especially for the harvest which was being p/anted at this time of fhe Year. For us the Rogafions Days have become days on which we are asked fo consider our prayer fife and to Pra,Y especially for fhe needs of f i e world and those around us. AS Sf Paul says in the Ietfer to the Romans "be constant in prayer".

Sf Paul, however, reC0gniSeS paif of the problem when he says in today's GospeL "we do not know how to Pray as we oughf': Though God desires our prayers, the fad is fhhaf often we do not know how to arficu,afe them,

we do, though, receive great encouragement in our prayer /ife from Jesus himself. In the Gospel he tells US "trL//luly, t r ~ t y , / Say to YOU, if YOU ask anyflting of the Father he give f" you jn n7y name." Our

needs before we ask. He is the one "to whom all hearts are open, a// desires known," We do not need to worry about our adjculati~n of those needs, praying in fhe name of Christ as j je fold us to, we may c/ajn7 access fo God and through Christ will come the reply.

NEW EUCHARIST SERVICE. St Edward's Committee decided, at the suggestron of the Vicar at their meeting last week, to introduce for an experimental per~od parts of the altornattve form of the Eucl~arist - those who attended the Confirmation Service will have experierlcod one of the forms available fo us. The possibility of having a "modern" Eucharist one Sunday a month was considered but it was decided that this could tend to divide the congregation. As we have always done In St Edward's, we shall go fotward together, accepting the good aspects of the new, but preserving the best of the old, It will not be necessary, at least initiafly, to change any of the major musical components of the service (Creed, Gloria etc ), so there can be contrnu~ty in the congregational singing In the coming weeks, from time to time we will experiment with some of the new forms. Please consrder them without prejudice - think about tiaam, pray about them. Your views and suggestions are valued - please speak to myself, or to Aian Mayer, Heather Doe, or any member of the committee. Fr Ken Marfin.

on Thursday at 9pm. MAESTEG 156 141s TRINITY THREE

The Collect for foday is a very ancient one, dafing back fo fhe end of Mkte 5fh cerlflrry. If was originally pad of the Sacrar~enfary (Prayer Book) of Pope Gelasius and has come down fo us virfuaNy unchanged in both form and sentiment. !f is a prayer to God to protect His church from the heresies within and the threat from non-Christians who might affack if and persecufe if.

This Colkscf may be 1500 years ofd but if is as relevanf today as ever 11 was in the past. The Church foday is strl/ m need of God's cleansing and defence We live in an age whet? the Cl?ur-ch is under affack from within -

1 from those who would abandon the I feachings of Jesus and fhe age old I doctrines of the Church because they are 'oufdated' in the modern liberal, free-for-all, anything goes society in which we five; and, perhaps even worse, church leaders, bishops among fhem, who deny fundamental elements of the Christian faith such as the Ergin Birth and the Physical ~esurrection of Jesus.

The Chutch is also under attack from without - from an increasittg/y secular society which questions and derides the fradifional values and moraliqy contained in the Christian faith.

The Church should not be afraid to stand up for its fradifional teachings even when to do so Ieaves it and its ministers open to atfack. It is our dufy to do so. Lef us remember these words from a weN known hymn: 'And we, shail we be faithless? shall hearfs fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade fhe conflict and cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counse!s some beffer thing is sfored; we will maintain unflnching, One Church, One Faifh, One Lord. ' Vicar.

PRldVln" FOUR Our Old Testament reading for today comes from the prophecy of Ezekiel. In many ways it is B curious book, full of visions and strange happenings.

PUPILS' CONCERTS a1 St Edward's. On fzriday of this week pupils of David Appieton and Lynn Plowman will give a concert at 7pm. Also on Saturday at 2pm there will be a concert by pupils of Pete Kirkbride and Carolyne Peters.

1 The ,orobiem was that for many of the Jews, as for many of us, if is a calling that is easily nc?glecfed or convenienf- ly pushed to one side.

In today's Gospel we see Jesus calling Simon Peter, James and John fo leave their fishing boats and to folfow him to become "fishers of men", We see the three Apostles "called to action" by Jesus. Their calling fo live as one of God's people was made real and personal to them.

We too are "called to action" by Jesus; we are called to do much more than just fo live "good lives" and "not to do any harm to others", whatever that means. We are called

t o act always in God's name, to speak out wherever we see injustices, to fight for those in need and to bring the love of God to fhose who are controlled by fear, anger and worry. Every situafion we find our- selves in is a "call to action" by Christ. Today we are asked fo consider how we respond to this caN. Fr Gary.

For some this has been a joyful development within our Eucharist: for others it seems more a disfracfion. in today's Gospel we are given an idea as fo why it is so impoffant,

In the Gospel today Jesus says if you are ofJering your gift at the attar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift

Zacchaeus was nof fhe sort ol person who would be welcomed into respectable Jewish society, ye! Jesus chooses to go to his house to dine with him. Jesus was not concernea wifh the outward appearance; he was concerned with the inner man. He saw in Zacchaeus a spark 01 goodness and came to him where he was.

Zacchaeus' meeting wifh Jesus was iife changing. Zacchaeus was saved by fhe grace of God. He co~llcl nof earn it; if was God's free gift to him when he repented from his former way of life and came to faith in Jesus. So too .with US; God sent ,fesus to die for us and for our salvation. St Paul reminds us fhai "God shotlts His love for us in that whiIe were yet sinners Christ djea for us. "

Jesus has the same message for us as We hati for Zacchaeus: "Todsy salvation has mme to this house': Let us accepf this free gift and let il Iransform our lives aiso. Vicar.

Neighbourliness, Jesus fells us, is not a general anifude of helping fhose who are good fo us, but a maffer of being ready to come to fhe assistance of those in need, even the perfect stranger. Nobody is excluded from a claim on our help because we are all God's children.

The sfory of fhe Good Samaritan esks us "are we doing. what Jesus would want us to do in his name?" in our dealings with others. Do we love others as God loves us? For as the Gospel is at pains to emphasise fhere is no love of God without love of our neighbour who is in distress.

Joseph, howeve/; bore fhem no ill-will; he readily forgave fhem. Sf Paul reminds us that "as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also musf forgive. "
