First Lesson
Acts 7:55-60
Filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” But they covered their ears, and with a loud shout all rushed together against him.
Then they dragged him out of the city and began to stone him; and the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he knelt down and cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he died.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16 • sung by all
1 2 3 4 5 15 16
2
In you, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be /put to shame; * deliver me /in your righteousness. Incline your /ear to me; * make haste /to deliver me.
Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe, for you are my crag and my /stronghold; * for the sake of your Name, lead /me and guide me. Take me out of the net that they have secretly /set for me, * for you are my /tower of strength. Into your hands I commend my /spirit, * for you have redeemed me, O LORD, /O God of truth.
My times are in /your hand; * rescue me from the hand of my enemies, and from /those who persecute me. Make your face to shine upon your /servant, * and in your loving-/kindness save me.”
Second Lesson
1 Peter 2:2-10
Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation-- if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in scripture: “See, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
To you then who believe, he is precious; but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the very head of the corner,”
and
“A stone that makes them stumble, and a rock that makes them fall.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Hymn Gospel

John 14:1-14
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to John.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him,
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do

not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me
will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.”

O How Amiable
R. Vaughan Williams
O how amiable are thy dwellings: thou Lord of hosts! My soul hath a desire and a longing to enter into the courts of the Lord: My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God. Yea, the sparrow hath found her a house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young: even the altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be always praising thee. The glorious Majesty of the Lord our God be upon us: prosper thou the work of our hands upon us. O prosper thou our handywork, O prosper thou our handywork.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests, Welcome to the Cathedral. I hope you find what you are looking for today—let us know if we can help.
The season of Easter is close to winding down and summer will soon follow. But there are a few more treats in store before that takes place. I hope you can be part of them:
• Our last Urban Ministry Partnership Fellowship Hour is next Sunday, May 21, at Calvary. The Easter Book Study will be suspended that day so that we can attend. Read more about it on page 5. • The Feast of the Ascension is Thursday, May 25, 7:00 pm, here in the Nave. Read more about that on page 2—and if you’d like to help with the Reception following, find out how on page 5. • The Day of Pentecost is Sunday, June 4, at 8:30 or 10:30 am.
• Trinity Sunday is the following week, June 11, at 8:30 or 10:00 am. But today, as you prepare for worship on this Mother’s Day, consider these words of Wendell Berry from his novel, Hannah Coulter. And as you read them, consider the ‘he’ that Berry uses as an equal-opportunity reference to any of the women and men who have mothered us—let us take time today to be grateful for them all, with the “Prayer of Thanksgiving for Those Who Have Mothered Us” on the Cathedral Matters insert and with these words: “Of all the kind things he did for me, that house was the kindest. I could see that love is a great room with a lot of doors where we are invited to knock and come in. Though it contains all the world, the sun, moon and stars, it is so small as to be also in our hearts...In the presence of that long flow of love, even grief could not stand...” I’m glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Fifth Sunday of Easter
we pray New or Updated This Week — Midday Mass updates

Daily Prayer Online
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. Daily Prayer Online uses our Cathedral Facebook page. Each morning at 5:00 am, a prayer will be posted; it can be accessed 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 Daily Prayer Online and consider sharing it with your friends. Make sure that you ‘like’ and ‘follow’ the Cathedral page: Christ Church Cathedral @ChristChurchLouKY.org.

Ascension Day
Plan to be with us, Bishop White, and the choirs and congregations of three sister parishes (Calvary, St. Francis, and St. Luke) for a combined Feast of the Ascension—here in the Nave, Thursday, May 25 at 7:00 pm. It will be a wonderful follow-up to the recent Feast of the Resurrection—and a productive use of our 50 days. Mark your calendars now for the event.
Compline in the Garden
Compline in the Garden will begin in June and continue through the Summer. 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. YOU ASKED
How can I stay informed about Chapter Meetings?
Chapter Minutes are posted on the Bulletin Board outside the Cathedral Office as soon as they have been approved. For example, Chapter Minutes for the March meeting were posted after they had been approved at the April Chapter meeting, which was Tuesday, April 25. They are posted now. The Minutes for the April Meeting will be approved at the May meeting, which will be this Tuesday, May 16. Chapter meetings are included on the Calendar on the week that they are held—you will see it included in this Cathedral Matters Calendar on page 8: Evening Prayer at 6:00 in the Chapel; Meeting at 6:30 in Bishops’ Hall.
we study New or Updated This Week — Children’s Sunday School

He directed over 100 productions at Actors, including directing A Christmas Carol for 17 years. Frazier has served on Chapter and has been both Senior Warden and Junior Warden.
we work Next Community Breakfast is June 4
The next Community Breakfast is Sunday, June 4, 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.

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.
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. 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.

CLOUT
Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together
Celebrate CLOUT’s Successes
It’s time to CELEBRATE! On May 23, all CLOUT Network members will come together to celebrate the results of the time and effort invested in justice ministry throughout the year. It is also a time to further the Network’s commitment to Louisville by investing financially in CLOUT’s ongoing work. The Celebration will center around these commitments made at the annual Nehemiah Action Assembly on March 28 by community officials: • to increase funding for affordable housing, • to implement and expand Restorative Practices in the public schools, and • to set up a community-wide roundtable for leaders in health and criminal justice to address the treatment of mental illness and addiction, especially exploring the Living Room Model and the LEAD program (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion). If you were not able to participate with your time and presence over the past months but would like to participate with a monetary investment, speak to any of CCC’s CLOUT Team: Page Curry, Mildred Franks, John Kiesel, Jim Monin, and Mildred Payne. Also, if you would like to become a Network member, contact any member of the current team. BE KIND Dorothy Day wrote: All our life is bound up with other people; for almost all of us happiness and unhappiness are conditioned by our relationship with other people. What a simplification of life it would be if we forced ourselves to see that everywhere we go is Christ, wearing out socks we have to darn, eating the food we have to cook, laughing with us, silent with us, sleeping with us. For Dorothy Day, this was not an abstraction—she and her colleagues lived it out in community at the Catholic Worker in New York City. Our challenge is to live it out here at the Cathedral and in our lives outside these walls. Be kind.

Check with coordinator, Randy Peters, if you have questions.

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!

Prayer for Those Who Have Mothered Us Most gracious and gentle God, you gave birth to all creation, and in your Son Jesus Christ you reveal a loving-kindness that longs to gather up your children under the shadow of your wings: Bless, we pray, all mothers, and all who have mothered us. We note especially today those who are now nursing and caring for children. Give them patience and wisdom. Sustain them in gentleness and grace. Deepen the tenderness of their affections. Affirm them in the nobility of their calling. May our children always find in the embrace of mothers an outward and visible sign of your never-failing love and care. And through the love of our mothers, may we all feel the warmth of your tender mercies and know the constancy of your unconditional love; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Prayer is at the heart of Christian community. We use this space to bring before God and the community the needs of those we love.
