As the holy season of Lent is a penitential season marked by more austere and humble forms of worship , we will kneel during the times of prayer. If you are unable to kneel, you may sit. Sitting, instead of standing, is a form of hospitality that does not block the sight lines of those who choose the kneeling posture.

First Lesson
Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7
The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.” Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, `You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; but God said, `You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of
the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die; for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 32 • sung by all

Happy are they whose transgressions are for/given, * and whose sin /is put away! Happy are they to whom the LORD im/putes no guilt, * and in whose spirit there /is no guile! While I held my tongue, my bones withered a/way, * because of my groaning /all day long. For your hand was heavy upon me /day and night; * my moisture was dried up as in the heat /of summer. Then I acknowledged my /sin to you, * and did not /conceal my guilt. I said,” I will confess my transgressions to the /LORD.” * Then you forgave me the guilt /of my sin. Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of /trouble; * when the great waters overflow, they shall /not reach them.
8 9 10 11 12
You are my hiding-place; you preserve me from /trouble; * you surround me with shouts of /deliverance. “I will instruct you and teach you in the way that /you should go; * I will guide /you with my eye. Do not be like horse or mule, which have no under/standing; * who must be fitted with bit and bridle,or else they will not /stay near you.” Great are the tribulations of the /wicked; * but mercy embraces those who trust /in the LORD. Be glad, you righteous, and rejoice in the /LORD; * shout for joy, all who /are true of heart.
Second Lesson
Romans 5:12-19
As sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, and so death spread to all because all have sinned-- sin was indeed in the world before the law, but sin is not reckoned when there is no law. Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. And the free gift is not like
the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. If, because of the one man’s trespass, death exercised dominion through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. For just as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel
Matthew 4:1-11
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Matthew.
Glory to you Lord Christ
After Jesus was baptized, he was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, ‘He will command his angels
concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’” Then the devil left him, and

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our

*to have Virtual Daily Office come automatically to your Facebook feed—if you have not already ‘liked’ the Cathedral Facebook page, do it this way: log in with facebook.com; go to the Cathedral Facebook page—Christ Church Cathedral, @ChristChurchLouKY.org; click on the ‘Like’ box and the ‘Follow’ box, just below the picture of the Cathedral. From that point on, everything that we post on the Cathedral Facebook page will migrate to your Facebook page/feed. It is a good way to stay in touch with your cathedral. You might also find it easier share what we do with your friends. STUDY

Make time in your Lenten Journey for some of these and other Cathedral activities. And as you prepare for worship today, consider these words of William Law: If we are to follow Christ, it must be in our common way of spending every day. If we are to live unto God at any time or in any place, we are to live unto him in all times and in all places. If we are to use anything as the gift of God, we are to use everything as his gift.
I am glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On This First Sunday in Lent

Virtual Daily Prayer
Prayer is an important part of being an Episcopalian. The discipline of prayer, known as the Daily Office, is one of the gifts of the Church to us. We are beginning, this Lent, an experiment with Virtual Daily Prayer—using our Cathedral Facebook Page as a platform. Each morning at 5:00 am, a prayer will be posted; it can be accessed it at any point throughout the day, and even in days following. You will also be invited, in the posts, to include prayer requests in the Comments section. We include those prayer requests in our Prayers of the People at Midday Mass and on Sundays. Check out Virtual Daily Prayer and consider sharing it with your friends. Make sure that you ‘like’ and ‘follow’ the Cathedral page: Christ Church Cathedral @ChristChurchLouKY.org. 2

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 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 Meister Eckhart, late 13th/early 14th century German theologian, philosopher and mystic, wrote: Our Lord should be followed reasonably and not by details. He fasted for forty days; no one is called upon to copy him literally in that … We should take care to follow him intelligently, for he is much more intent on our love than our actions. But, if we love, would our actions be different? Would we live more gently with one another if we loved as Jesus did?

Register your card by phone (1-888-904-0800) or online. Here’s how to register online: • Visit www.kroger.com/communityrewards and hit “Create an Account.” • Register your Kroger Plus Card number. • Once you are registered, you’ll see a tab that says “Kroger Community Rewards.” Hit the “Enroll” tab. • You will be asked for the company name or number.

The Cathedral reaps the financial benefits every time you use your Kroger Plus Card.
Parking at the Cathedral
Parking has been arranged for Sunday mornings at 3 locations: the Transamerica Parking Lot adjacent to Cathedral Commons (Sunday mornings only), at the corner of 2nd and Muhammed Ali: the old “Midas Lot” behind the Cathedral and entered by 1st St. at Louisville Surgical Center entrance; and the YMCA Garage on 2nd St. The Transamerica lot is only to be used for Sunday mornings (you will be towed if you park there at other times). The old “Midas Lot” can also be used on Sunday mornings and in the evenings and on Saturday when the Louisville Surgical Center is closed. The YMCA Garage can be used at anytime although there may be a parking fee depending on day and time. We will continue to work on other options.
Priest Associates
The Rev’d William L. Bippus and the Rev’d R. Edgar Wallace are Priest Associates at the Cathedral. They have served for some time now: on Sundays, preaching and presiding; on weekdays, in support of Midday Mass; and daily, offering sage advice from their wealth of experience in parish ministry. Join me in thanking them for their generous service to the Cathedral.

STEWARDSHIP NOTES The Right Reverend Robert Ihloff, Bishop of Maryland, wrote: Today, Jesus is tempted. We are often tempted not to live up to our highest potential as children of God. Like Jesus, our temptations may not be so much to do evil as to choose some lesser good... Lent is a time for reminding us that the Lord calls us to the highest form of discipleship and the most challenging aspects of giving. Lent calls us to be more generous and to take hold of life to its fullest. Consider these ways you can give in this season of Lent:
• volunteer time in the Office or participate in the Cathedral Work Day (talk with Parish Administrator, Frazier Marsh) • help design materials for Christian Formation (talk with the Dean)
• contribute to the Good Friday Offering to support ministries in the Province of Jerusalem (talk with Treasurer, Kay Wilkinson)

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!
