A reading from the Gospel of Luke 19:28-40 After telling a parable to the crowd at Jericho, Jesus went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They said, “The Lord needs it.” Then they brought it to celebrant celebrant people

Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.” people

It is right to praise you, Almighty God, for the acts of love by which you have redeemed us through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. On this day he entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed as King of kings by those who spread their garments and branches of palm along his way. Let these branches be for us signs of his victory, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King, and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life; who lives and reigns in glory with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever.

First Lesson

Isaiah 50:4-9a

The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens-wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord GOD helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord GOD who helps me; who will declare me guilty? The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

sung by all • bold type indicates change of chord

Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; * my eye is consumed with sorrow, and also my throat and my belly. For my life is wasted with grief, and my years with sighing; * my strength fails me because of affliction, and my bones are con-sumed. I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors, a dismay to those of my ac-quaintance; * when they see me in the street they a-void me. I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; * I am as useless as a broken pot. For I have heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is all a-round; * they put their heads together against me; they plot to take my life. But as for me, I have trusted in you, O LORD. * I have said, “You are my God. My times are in your hand; * rescue me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who per-secute me. Make your face to shine upon your servant, * and in your loving-kindness save me.”

Second Lesson

Philippians 2:5-11

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death-even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus

every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. Chant

The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke 23:1-49 • all be seated

• congregational parts are indicated in bold type

The assembly of the elders of the people rose as a body and brought Jesus before Pilate. They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding us to pay taxes to the emperor, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king.” Then Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” He answered, “You say so.” Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no basis for an accusation against this man.” But they were insistent and said, “He stirs up the people by teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he began even to this place.” When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. And when he learned that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him off to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him perform some sign. He questioned him at some length, but Jesus gave him no answer. The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then he put an elegant robe on him, and sent him back to Pilate. That same day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other; before this they had been enemies. Pilate then called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people, and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and here I have examined him in your presence and have not found this man guilty of any of your charges against him. Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us. Indeed,

he has done nothing to deserve death. I will therefore have him flogged and release him.” Then they all shouted out together, “Away with this fellow! Release Barabbas for us!” (This was a man who had been put in prison for an insurrection that had taken place in the city, and for murder.) Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again; but they kept shouting, “Crucify, crucify him!” A third time he said to them, “Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no ground for the sentence of death; I will therefore have him flogged and then release him.” But they kept urgently demanding with loud shouts that he should be crucified; and their voices prevailed. So Pilate gave his verdict that their demand should be granted. He released the man they asked for, the one who had been put in prison for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over as they wished. As they led him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him, and made him carry it behind Jesus. A great number of the people followed him, and among them were women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him. But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For the days are surely coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the

the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us’; and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?” • all stand Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots to divide his clothing. And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.” One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other

rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, while the sun’s light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Having said this, he breathed his last. • silence is kept When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent.” And when all the crowds who had gathered there for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they returned home, beating their breasts. But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

Choral Meditation

O Sorrow Deep

David Hurd

O sorrow deep! Who would not weep with heartfelt pain and sighing! God the Father’s only Son in the tomb is lying. The Paschal Lamb, like Isaac’s ram, in blood was offered for us, pouring out his life that he might to life restore us. Blest shall they be eternally who ponder in their weeping that the glorious Prince of Life should in death be sleeping. O Jesus blest, my help and rest, with tears I pray thee, hear me: Now, and even unto death dearest Lord be near me.

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. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. For our sins he was lifted high upon the cross, that he might draw the whole world to himself; and, by his suffering and death, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who put their trust in him. 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.

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.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral, and our guests, Hang on—we’re in for a rough ride this morning.

The Sunday of the Passion moves us, with Christ, from praise to derision to surprise and sadness. From beginning to end, it helps us to sense a small measure of the whiplash-like confusion that was surely present in Christ’s last days in Jerusalem. I hope that today’s worship will be for you all it is meant to be and that it will ready you for our Holy Week journey. The gifts of socks and T-shirts that you have offered today—like the cloaks thrown at Jesus’ feet—will be shared with our guests who need them. Collection boxes are at each entrance and at the office door; they will remain there throughout this week. Join us for the rest of our Holy Week Liturgies. The Triduum—Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter Vigil—is understood as one act of worship playing out over three days. After the service begins on Maundy Thursday, there is no closing benediction until the conclusion of the Easter Vigil. Check out the complete schedule on page 2 and take it home with you for ready reference. And now, as you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of Edwin McNeill Poteat: They pluck their palm branches and hail Him as King, early on Sunday; they spread out their garments; hosannas they sing, early on Sunday. But where is the noise of their hurrying feet, the crown they would offer, the scepter, the seat? Their King wanders hungry, forgot in the street, early on Monday. I’m glad you are here today. Faithfully,

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim, On This Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday

CLOUT Nehemiah Assembly, 2019

For years, CLOUT has sought to unite 1,000 for our annual meeting with city officials, and this is the year we finally met that goal: 1,062 people gathered on March 26 to learn what CLOUT was asking, and how the Metro Council members, representatives of agencies and JCPS Superintendent Marty Pollio responded to its requests. Christ Church Cathedral was represented by 54 congregants and friends, only 6 short of our goal of 60. Other congregations that met or came close to their goals were Epiphany Catholic, 71 [75]; First Unitarian, 71 [70]; Fourth Ave. UMC, 56 [47]; Jeff St. Baptist, 100 [115].THANKS to all who attended and who brought friends as well! The next phase of CLOUT’s work will be follow-up on promises made by officials at the Assembly and investment. CLOUT members are asked to invest

$200, or whatever they are able to; other members of the congregation can help the effort by investing any amount. The new CLOUT website allows us to invest online, or checks may be given to CLOUT team leaders Page Curry, Mildred Franks or Jim Monin. Teams of 4 or 5 members from different congregations also visit a number of companies in Louisville to seek their investment in an organization that makes our city a safer, better place in which to live and work. CLOUT’s budget is modest, but our two organizers are full-time employees of the DART network who train us how to recruit new members, maintain interest and involve our members in doing research.

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.

Next Community Breakfast is May 5

Cathedral Congregation Art Show

Coffee In The Hall

Sharing Faith Dinners

The next Community Breakfast is May 5, 8:30 – 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. Contact Randy Peters if you would like to help or just come. Each weekday morning from 8 am to 12:30 pm the hallway in the link building is open to our neighbors. This allows them the chance to come in for a break from the heat/cold/rain, use the restroom, and have a cup of coffee or a bottled water. You can help with this ministry by donating 4-pound bags of sugar, cans of ground coffee, or bottled water to the Cathedral Office.

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.

Downtown Episcopal Outreach (DEO)

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.

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.

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.

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!
