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. worship, in the form of quiet meditation, begins with the prelude

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

First Lesson

Joshua 5:9-12

The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away from you the disgrace of Egypt.” And so that place is called Gilgal to this day. While the Israelites were camped in Gilgal they kept the passover in the evening on the fourteenth day of the month in the plains of Jericho. On the

day after the passover, on that very day, they ate the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. The manna ceased on the day they ate the produce of the land, and the Israelites no longer had manna; they ate the crops of the land of Canaan that year.

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 imputes 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 con/ceal 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. You are my hiding-place; you preserve me from /trouble; * you surround me with shouts of de/liverance.

“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

2 Corinthians 5:16-21

From now on, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation;

that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. • all stand

Hymn 470 Gospel

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy

Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.

Glory to you Lord Christ

All the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So Jesus told them this parable: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.’ So he divided his property between them. A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him

to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.”’ So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no

longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe--the best one--and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate. “Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. He replied, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.’ Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father came out

and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, ‘Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’ Then the father said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.’”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon

• 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

with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. 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.

Holy Communion Offertory Anthem

Cantique de Jean Racine

Verbe, égal au Très-Haut, notre unique espérance, Jour éternel de la terre et des cieux ; De la paisible nuit nous rompons le silence, Divin Sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux ! Répands sur nous le feu de ta grâce puissante, Que tout l’enfer fuie au son de ta voix ; Dissipe le sommeil d’une âme languissante, Qui la conduit à l’oubli de tes lois !

O Christ, sois favorable à ce peuple fidèle Pour te bénir maintenant rassemblé. Reçois les chants qu’il offre à ta gloire immortelle, Et de tes dons qu’il retourne comblé!

Gabriel Faure

Word of God, one with the Most High, in Whom alone we have our hope, Eternal Day of heaven and earth, We break the silence of the peaceful night; Saviour Divine, cast your eyes upon us!

Pour on us the fire of your powerful grace, That all hell may flee at the sound of your voice; Banish the slumber of a weary soul, That brings forgetfulness of your laws!

O Christ, look with favour upon your faithful people Now gathered here to praise you; Receive their hymns offered to your immortal glory; May they go forth filled with your gifts.

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. • here a Proper Preface is sung or said on all Sundays

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who was tempted in every way as we are, yet did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again. OR

You bid your faithful people cleanse their hearts, and prepare with joy for the Paschal feast; that, fervent in prayer and in works of mercy, and renewed by your Word and Sacraments, they may come to the fullness of grace which you have prepared for those who love you. 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

WLP 855

• as the Eucharistic Prayer continues all kneel Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, 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 we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. 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

• at the conclusion of the Great Thanksgiving all sing:

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.

Today is Laetare Sunday. The name derives from the Latin laetare, ‘to rejoice’. It is also known as Mothering Sunday, Refreshment Sunday, Mid-Lent Sunday (in French mi-carême) and Rose Sunday and it is more relaxed than the rest of Lent. Enjoy the rose-colored vestments, and know that today is a day of hope with Easter now within sight. Palm Sunday arrives in just 2 weeks, on April 14; it launches Holy Week. The liturgy that day commemorates the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem with exuberant shouts from the crowd. Though it starts with celebration, the tone becomes somber as the Passion Narrative is read, outlining Christ’s trial, crucifixion and death. We begin worship with the Blessing of the Palms in Bishops’ Hall. Holy Week continues with Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. It culminates in the Great Vigil of Easter and Easter Day. Be sure to bring your offerings of socks, t-shirts and other clothing—we will collect them during Holy Week and then see that local clothes closets and our own guests get them. Check out the full Holy Week schedule which is printed on page 2. Enjoy our Lenten Devotions: 46 Words for 46 Days. Read more about how you can access them on page 2. Next week is Community Breakfast Sunday—read more about that on page 4 and let Randy Peters know if you’d like to help. On that day, we also gather supplies for Central Louisville Community Ministries. Pick up a tote bag on your way out today and bring it back on Sunday full of things to share. Many thanks to all who came to CLOUT’s Nehemiah Action Assembly this past Tuesday. CLOUT does important work in the areas of seniors aging in place, funding the affordable housing fund, support of the Living Room, and restorative justice in our school system. Thanks also to our CLOUT Team: Page Curry, Mildred Franks, and Jim Monin for the good leadership they provided the Cathedral. Read more about CLOUT on page 3. As you prepare for worship, consider these words of Br. David Vryhof, Society of St. John Evangelist: The embrace of God’s grace is wider than most of us are willing to accept. God’s mercy stirs up within us an ugly response, especially when we see it offered freely to those we think are undeserving of it. The Jews of Jesus’ day felt they had God solely in their corner, and Jesus comes—to them and to us—to shatter that kind of thinking and to bring us face-to-face with the wideness of God’s mercy. I’m glad you are here today. Faithfully,

Racial Reconciliation Ministry Update

The focus of this ministry is to select readings and events that will help us as a congregation to understand our role in moving forward with reconciliation and repentance. We will also adopt a church-wide curriculum called “Sacred Ground” beginning soon after Lent. For more information, speak to Linda Kiesel, John Kiesel, or Terry Laun.

Justice Ministry through CLOUT

Last Tuesday night CLOUT held its Nehemiah Action Assembly; our thanks to all of you who attended from our congregation, and the guests you brought. NAA is the annual event in which we address leaders in our community about problems in Louisville. Members from CLOUT churches told stories about mentally ill family members who need treatment instead of going to jail, children who learn in school how to deal with anger and conflict rather than face suspension, the number of families on the waiting list for affordable housing, and older adults who need assistance with such things as transportation and access to food in order to stay in their homes. And we heard about the research CLOUT has conducted on these issues and their recommendations for action to address these problems with proven and workable solutions. As of this writing we are not able to give the outcomes, but next week we will report on responses from the people in power – Metro Council members, the Mayor’s office, the JCPS Superintendent, KIPDA, and others – and the commitments they made. So, “watch this space” for more detailed information in next week’s Cathedral Matters.

Laundry Love, a Diocesan Urban Ministry Initiative: April 11 & 18 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.

So keep saving your books and you can bring them to the Cathedral and store them in the bookstore until the date. Remember, no academic tomes or textbooks. Please contact Judy Donahue or Bobbie Fritton for more information.

Sharing Faith Dinners

Bishop White has invited all congregations of the diocese to participate in the Sharing Faith Dinners, a program intended to draw us deeper into the work of engaging our faith. He writes that “this resource is being offered by the Departments of Christian Formation, and Mission and Evangelism, in response to the call in his address to the 189th Diocesan Convention to renew our focus on adult baptism and evangelism. It will benefit our congregations and our ministry as a diocese.” Sign-up sheet for participating in a gathering is on the Office Bulletin Board. Let the Dean know if you have questions.

Welcome Ministry

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 the Dean or Bobbie Fritton.

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.

A report will be emailed monthly as well, listing details of each contribution. Campaigns can be accessed using the Donate link at the top of our website. A link will need to be added for mobile.

Membership in the Episcopal Church

Episcopal Church Membership is automatic in the parish at which you were baptized or confirmed, and you can easily move your membership when you relocate. If you would like to become an Episcopalian or to move your membership to the Cathedral, call the parish office, or leave your request with Dean Pritcher. The Cathedral will contact your former parish and make the necessary changes. You make the request, and the Cathedral will handle the paperwork.

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!
