After mentioning the Holy Spirit only 25 times, the Liturgy now invokes the presence of the Holy Spirit at the epiclesis. St Gregory Palamas' theology of the energies of God help us to understand the dynamic action of the silent and still Godhead.

In this episode, on Forgiveness Sunday, we reach the elevation of the Gifts, offering Chris God to God the Father, His essence to His essence, not offering sweatmeats to placate an angry deity. When we ask forgiveness of each other, we are not saying sorry for individual behaviour. We have the opportunity to heal ancestral and cultural hatreds and oppression that we unknowingly repeat in our actions, attitudes and behaviours. Forgiveness Sunday isn't just about saying sorry to each other, but healing our whole society.

It is the same essential bread that makes up the Body of Christ that is at once the body of Jesus, us as church and His presence in the world.

On the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, also coinciding with the Sunday of Zachaeus, we find that we can only encounter Christ when we are willing to say 'Blessed is he who comes in His name', in other words, when we see Christ in all those, like Zachaeus, who are despised by polite society.

The Liturgy slowly #24: Ineffable, inconceivable, invisible, incomprehensible: You, oh God
In this episode, St John's liturgy provides us with his first full theological statement, not describing God's positive attributes, but apophatic theology is more familiar to Orthodoxy, describing that which God is not. We give thanks to God, however, that He emptied Himself of everything that He is not, to become Christ.

In this second episode in the Great Entrance, we consider the priest's normally silent prayer 'No one is worthy' in the context of the woman who is healed of her 18 year infirmity and the Entrance of Mary into the Temple. We are made worthy by God, not because we are worthy, but because He makes us worthy. We become temples of the Living God, like Mary, entering the temple, became The Temple of the Living God become Flesh.

In this episode we pause before moving on to the Cherubic hymn to remind ourselves of the purpose of liturgy and ritual, to tell us the story, to re-enact the history of the people of God over the centuries, across cultures. We also remind ourselves that Christianity, faith itself, is not a spiritual act but a public physical act of compassion.

He also notes again the importance of the antimens over which these prayers are made, the sign of the shepherds who guard our flocks. In times of turmoil, these shepherds have to gather us and lead us to new pastures

The Liturgy Slowy #15: The conscientious sower: the first of the wisdom prayers
In this episode, which didn't end as planned, Father Timothy considers the first of the 'wisdom' prayers, which is actually a recollection of the 'blood sacrifice prayers of the old testament, but now placed in the context of the bloodless sacrifice of Christ. He connects it to the careful placing of the seed of the Spirit in every human, placing the burden on us all of tilling the soil of faith.

In this second homily on the Divine Liturgy, Father Timothy considers the opening declaration, 'Blessed is the Kingdom', and how the saints act as sinews the Church, the Body of Christ, giving dynamic life to the skeleton bones of Bible, liturgy and hierarchy within the church, and giving living structure to our contemporary lives. We today are the flesh, but without bones and sinew, we are nothing. Without us, the flesh, the bones and sinews are also nothing. The Kingdom is Personal, the bones, sinews of the saints and us as the flesh, make the 2,000 years of church history...

In this episode, Fr Timothy marks the end of the Pentecost period, when we return to, and mark the rest of our lives according to, 'ordinary time'. But there is nothing ordinary about time when we have two words to use - chronos and kairos. We start the Divine Liturgy with the deacon informing the celebrant 'now is the perfect time to act, time to give the blessing'.

The Sunday of the Paralysed Man: the healing and transfiguring ministry of the church
Fr Timothy considers the two readings, Gospel and Acts of the Apostles, that are read on the Sunday of the Paralysed man. They point clearly, in this Paschal season leading up to the Ascension of Christ, that at it's core the church's ministry is that of healing, not moralism. The judgement of the church should be like that of a physician, to identify the spiritual sores and paralysis and to heal, not to judge like in a legal court.

Resurrection, what is it, really?
In this homily, Fr Timothy considers the difference between 'resucitation' and resurrection. He contrasts Christ's raising of the son of the widow of Nain, and Lazarus who was definitely dead for 4 days, and His own Resurrection to eternal life. This helps us to understand a little of what is impossible to know; what it's like to exist beyond space and time, in the eternal presence of the glory of God.

Let all mortal flesh keep silence
Here is an extra gem for you: the choir of St Anne's singing the ancient hymn Let all mortal flesh keep silence (Greek: Σιγησάτω πᾶσα σάρξ βροτεία), also known as Let all mortal flesh keep silent, based on words from Habakkuk 2:20, "Let all the earth keep silence before him" (Hebrew: הַ֥ס מִפָּנָ֖יו כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ has mippanaw kol ha-erets). The original was composed in Greek as a Cherubic Hymn for the Offertory of the Divine Liturgy of St James.On Great and Holy Saturday morning, the 'little resurrection' is celebrated with a Vesperal Divine Liturgy of St Basil, and this hymn is the appointed cherubic hymn.
