The Word of God Collect for the Seventh Sunday after Epiphany O Lord, you have taught us that without love whatever we do is worth nothing: Send your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts your greatest gift, which is love, the true bond of peace and of all virtue, without which whoever lives is accounted dead before you. Grant this for the sake of your only Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. • at the conclusion of the collect all sing:
• all be seated First Lesson
Leviticus 19:1-2,9-18
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them: You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not strip your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the alien: I am the Lord your God. You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; and you shall not lie to one another. And you shall not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God: I am the Lord. You shall not defraud your neighbor; you shall not steal; and you shall not The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

keep for yourself the wages of a laborer until morning. You shall not revile the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind; you shall fear your God: I am the Lord. You shall not render an unjust judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbor. You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not profit by the blood of your neighbor: I am the Lord. You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
Psalm 119:33-40 • sung by all
33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40
Teach me, O Lord, the way of your / statutes, * and I shall keep / it to the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep / your law; * I shall keep it / with all my heart. Make me go in the path of your com/mandments, * for that / is my desire. Incline my heart to your de/crees * and not / to unjust gain.
Turn my eyes from watching what is / worthless; * give me / life in your ways. Fulfill your promise to your / servant, * which you make to / those who fear you. Turn away the reproach which I / dread, * because your / judgments are good.
Behold, I long for your com/mandments; * in your righteousness / preserve my life.
Second Lesson
1 Corinthians 3:10-11,16-23
According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ. Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age,
you should become fools so that you may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,” and again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,that they are futile.” So let no one boast about human leaders. For all things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future-- all belong to you, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Matthew 5:38-48
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Matthew.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our Welcome to worship at the Cathedral. I hope you find what you are looking for. Let us know if we can help.
I am away this week—through Monday, February 27. While I’m away, Midday Mass continues—check out the guest presiders on page 2. Your priest associates, the Rev’d Frs. Edgar Wallace and William Bippus are serving today and February 26. Note that the pastoral care line is always open. If you have a pastoral emergency, call 502-632-3213 and I will respond. I look forward to seeing you again on Shrove Tuesday, February 28. Mark your calendars for important cathedral events: Shrove Tuesday Ash Wednesday Lenten Series Holy Week The Great Vigil Easter Day
February 28 (read more on page 4) March 1, at Noon and 7:00 pm (the Rev’d Canon Jason Lewis will be preacher) Sundays, March 5 – April 9, following 10:30 worship in the Library (read more on page 3) April 9 – April 14 Saturday, April 15 April 16 and 8:30 and 10:30
As you prepare for worship today, consider these words of Toyohiko Kagawa: Let him who would meet God visit the prison cell before going to the temple. Before he goes to church let him visit the hospital. Before he reads the Bible let him help the beggar at his door. I am glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On This Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany

Morning Prayer is “on the move.” For several months, it has been prayed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, 9:00 – 9:15 in the Chapel. Beginning this week, this service is on break—so that it can be re-imagined. We are working to bring it back as a virtual liturgy—to be experienced, not just 3 days a week but daily. Stay tuned—we will keep you posted as to how this will work.

Compline in the Garden
We are considering having Compline in the Garden beginning Sunday evenings late Spring and continuing through early Autumn. It will be a brief sung service—a gift to us and to our neighborhood. Let the Dean know if you would like to be part of the plans.

we work New or Updated This Week — CLOUT
CLOUT
Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together
CLOUT works to solve critical community problems by holding systems accountable: to “do justice, love kindness (mercy), and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8).” Two important meetings are coming up for our 28 network members: those who missed the Feb. 12 meeting are asked to meet on Feb. 19 after church to plan how to include more CCC members at the Nehemiah Action on March 28, where we anticipate over 1,200 people from Louisville. Also, the Cathedral’s Justice Ministry Network Members will be commissioned on Sunday, Feb. 26, during the 10:30 a.m. service.
Next Community Breakfast is March 5
The next Community Breakfast is Sunday, March 5, 8:45 – 9:30 a.m., in Bishops’ Hall. Serving our friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners is one of the most rewarding ministries at Christ Church Cathedral. In addition to serving breakfast, personal care and food items are always accepted for the food pantry and Central Louisville Community Ministry. We need your help—contact Randy Peters if you can do that.
Laundry Love
Laundry Love provides assistance to individuals and families that do not have washers/dryers or cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to their budget. Laundry Love happens every 2nd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. Next Laundry Love event is Thursday, March 9. We are also helping to fund Laundry Love through your contributions to DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach). Contact Dorothy Converse or Mike DaRif if you have questions. 3
Downtown Episcopal Outreach (DEO)
Don’t be afraid of CHANGE—put it in the DEO Pig! DEO supports the Lunch Bags Program, Laundry Love, Kentucky Refugee Ministry and addresses gap needs that arise in service agencies throughout central Louisville. Using the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and working with outreach partners including Central Louisville Community Ministries, Our Merciful Savior Episcopal Church and St. George’s Episcopal Church, we help with expenses such as ID application fees, prescription drugs, utilities, and some transportation costs. You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank.
Kentucky Refugee Ministries
Consider supporting KRM which works to relocate refugees in Louisville. What your gift can do: $25 provides a blanket for a refugee child, $50 provides a monthly bus pass for an adult seeking work, $75 provides groceries for a family’s first week in Kentucky, $100 assists with medications for a sick mother, $150 assists with a heating bill for a 1-bedroom apartment, $500 assists with rent for a family’s new apartment, $1,000 assists a family if someone gets ill and can’t work, $2,500 co-sponsors a new family for three months. Kentucky Refugee Ministries, 969-B Cherokee Rd., Louisville, KY 40204, (502) 479-9180.
Reaching Out for Outreach Lunch Bag Ministry
The lunch bag ministry is a way for Christ Church Cathedral to help feed our neighbors who are hungry. The bags contain bottled water, a protein, canned fruit, a breakfast bar, a salty snack and something sweet. The lunch bags are assembled by a group of volunteer parishioners who meet at the church as needed to replenish the supply of bags. During the calendar year of 2016 we gave out 4
2,110 bags. The costs for the bags are paid for by Downtown Episcopal Outreach. So remember to “Feed the DEO Pig.” For more information, contact Paul Real who leads this ministry. Living Gently Jesus’ demand to love our neighbor extends even to our enemies. Peace activist Hildegard Goss-Mayr tells the story of the Russian army entering her village during World War II. Everyone expected them to loot and destroy. Even so, when they knocked on her door, her father opened it and welcomed them in as if they were guests. He led his family to create an atmosphere of trust for their enemies. The soldiers did not harm them—seeing that the family were weak and thin, they shared their own small supply of food.

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!
