Rare 4 collect Sunday today! 1 - Epiphany II = wedding at Cana 2/3 - S. Peter’s Chair (collects for Ss. Peter & Paul) 4 - S. Prisca Com. V. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, he saith unto the bridegroom: Thou hast kept the good wine until now.
Wood cut of the wedding at Cana, with the Latin inscription: Hoc fecit initivm signorvm Jesvs.

Quiet church after stir-up Sunday. STIR up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people: that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may of thee be plenteously rewarded.

incredibly funny that the church of england is falling to bits, the archbishop of canterbury resigned in disgrace, and his predecessor is just combing his eyebrows and murdering jordan peterson in the guardian. you love to see it

Both priest AND organist were sick this morning, and we couldn’t find a substitute organist in time… so high mass was unaccompanied this morning! Always feels like a blessing in disguise when there’s unexpectedly no organ, since it shows us we can all sing our parts (and well!) without it.

If on any year there be twenty-six Sundays after Trinity, the service for the Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany shall be used on the Twenty-fifth Sunday. And NOTE, That the service from the aforesaid Sunday after Epiphany shall be used with the following Propers: Introit. Dixit Dominus.
People’s Anglican Missal open to the directions and propers for the 25th Sunday after Trinity, and a leaflet for the service.
