First Lesson
Isaiah 58:1-9a
Shout out, do not hold back! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Announce to my people their rebellion, to the house of Jacob their sins. Yet day after day they seek me and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that practiced righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of me righteous judgments, they delight to draw near to God. “Why do we fast, but you do not see? Why humble ourselves, but you do not notice?” Look, you serve your own interest on your fast day, and oppress all your workers. Look, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to strike with a wicked fist. Such fasting as you do today will not make your voice heard on high. Is such the fast that I choose, a day to humble oneself? Is it to bow down the head like a bulrush, and to lie in sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the Lord? Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke,
3
to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin? Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 112:1-9 • sung by all
Hallelujah! Happy are they who fear the /Lord * and have great delight in /his commandments! Their descendants will be mighty in the /land; * the generation of the upright /will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in their /house, * and their righteousness will /last for ever.
Light shines in the darkness for the /upright; * the righteous are merciful and full /of compassion. It is good for them to be generous in /lending * and to manage their af/fairs with justice.
For they will never be /shaken; * the righteous will be kept in everlast/ing remembrance. They will not be afraid of any evil /rumors; * their heart is right; they put their /trust in the Lord. Their heart is established and will not /shrink, * until they see their desire up/on their enemies. They have given freely to the /poor, * and their righteousness stands fast for ever; they will hold up their /head with honor.

Second Lesson
1 Corinthians 2:1-12
When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God. Yet among the mature we do speak wisdom, though it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to perish. But we speak God’s wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed before the ages for our glory.
None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For what human being knows what is truly human except the human spirit that is within? So also no one comprehends what is truly God’s except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Hymn 632 Gospel
O Christ, the Word Incarnate
Matthew 5:13-20
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to Matthew.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot. “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. “Do not think that I have come to abolish The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.
the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Sermon
The Very Reverend Matthew Bradley
• all stand
Nicene Creed • BCP 358 We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Call of Wisdom
Will Todd
Lord of wisdom, Lord of truth, Lord of justice, Lord of mercy; Walk beside us down the years till we see you in your glory. Striving to attain the heights, turning in a new direction, Entering a lonely place, welcoming a friend or stranger. I am here, I am with you. I have called: do you hear me? Silver is of passing worth, gold is not of constant value, Jewels sparkle for a while; what you long for is not lasting. Rulers govern under me with my insight and my wisdom. Those who know me know my love, those who seek me find their answer. God the Father and the Son, Holy Spirit coeternal. Glory be ascribed to you, now and to the end of ages. • all stand

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and every where to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. For you are the source of light and life, you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord. OR
Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who on the first day of the week overcame death and the grave, and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life. OR

For by water and the Holy Spirit you have made us a new people in Jesus Christ our Lord, to show forth your glory in all the world.
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Sanctus • S 129
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ 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.”Therefore, according to his command, O Father, We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put
9
all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with [_________. and] all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.
The Great Amen
The Lord’s Prayer • BCP 364 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Dear Friends in Christ,
While it is customary for this space to contain a welcome from the Dean to those who are visiting the Cathedral, today I will thank you for welcoming me. I was already receiving warm wishes and promises of prayer from many of you as Hannah and I made our transition from Murray to Louisville. After our arrival many of you offered to assist us as we settled into our new home. I can’t express how much we both appreciated and continue to appreciate your graciousness. I also want to offer particular thanks to those of you who have helped me begin to get oriented during this first week of ministry our ministry together. You’ve helped me navigate the building, find what is needed for worship, instructed me in the customs of the various services, and helped me for evensong. You’ve also calmed my anxieties, answered my questions, introduced yourself (sometimes more than once), and made me feel genuinely welcomed in this Cathedral community. Though you have already given me so much, I would like to ask for yet more. Specifically, I will need your patience as I learn about and grow into the ministry of Dean. The Cathedral is engaged in so much ministry which is, in turn, supported by so many of you that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to digest everything. If you need to meet with me, please give me a call or send me a text and we will get a meeting on the calendar. If I seem not to know something, the odds are that I don’t. Let me know, as I appreciate all the information that I can get. Above all, please pray for me. The Holy Spirit is moving in our congregation and people are encountering the risen Jesus in and through the Cathedral every day. I need your prayers to be able to keep up with what God is doing here through all of you. I am looking forward to our ministry together. Your brother in Christ, Matt+

Have you ever gone to a church for the first time and no one spoke to you as you entered? That is a Greeter’s role of outreach--to make a person feel welcome as they enter a church for the first time. It requires only about 15-20 minutes each time you greet and it is beneficial to the greeter as much as the one greeted. If you would like to help with this important service to the church, please contact Frazier Marsh or Bobbie Fritton.

COMMUNITY MATTERS Louisville Master Chorale Concert The second concert of the Louisville Master Chorale 2019-2020 season traces a straight line of influence from Vivaldi to Bach to Mozart that is clearly visible in this concert’s works. It begins with the Vivaldi Gloria followed by Part One of what many consider the greatest choral/orchestral work ever written - Bach’s B minor Mass [Part Two will be in Master Chorale’s season, next year] and Mozart’s Sparrow or Spetzen Mass in C major. It will be a wonderful concert of glorious music on Sunday, February 23, at 3 p.m. at Harvey Browne Presbyterian Church, 311 Browns Lane. There will be a pre-concert talk at 2:15. Tickets are $20 and you can get them from Chorale and Cathedral member Randy Peters, or online at Louisville Master Chorale.

Why do we pray, study, work, listen and build?
Benedict, the father of Benedictine spirituality, suggested that our life is best balanced between prayer, study, and work. We have taken that challenge as the basis of our common life together at Christ Church Cathedral: We pray (worship and the arts). We study (spiritual formation). We work (service to others). In addition, we know that we are sustained by our life together, and that works best when we listen to one another. We also aim to build and maintain a structure that will support all of our ministry efforts. And so: We listen (cathedral life and fellowship), We build (administration). In Cathedral Matters, you will find information about ministry opportunities at the Cathedral which fit into all five of these areas. Under each of the five main categories you will see what is new to the listing for this week. You will notice that some paragraphs repeat weekly, so that our guests won’t miss any news. You are urged to take your Cathedral Matters home with you so that you will have it for ready reference. Now, read about our ministry, think about how you would like to be involved...and jump right in!
