Almighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life: Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

First Lesson
Acts 11:1-18
Now the apostles and the believers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also accepted the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him, saying, “Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them?” Then Peter began to explain it to them, step by step, saying, “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision. There was something like a large sheet coming down from heaven, being lowered by its four corners; and it came close to me. As I looked at it closely I saw four-footed animals, beasts of prey, reptiles, and birds of the air. I also heard
a voice saying to me, `Get up, Peter; kill and eat.’ But I replied, `By no means, Lord; for nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’ But a second time the voice answered from heaven, `What God has made clean, you must not call profane.’ This happened three times; then everything was pulled up again to heaven. At that very moment three men, sent to me from Caesarea, arrived at the house where we were. The Spirit told me to go with them and not to make a distinction between them and us. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house. He told us
3
how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying, `Send to Joppa and bring Simon, who is called Peter; he will give you a message by which you and your entire household will be saved.’ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them just as it had upon us at the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said, `John baptized with
water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ If then God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?” When they heard this, they were silenced. And they praised God, saying, “Then God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm
148 • sung by all

Second Lesson
Revelation 21:1-6
I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them;
he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.” And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel
John 13:31-35
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to John.
Glory to you Lord Christ
At the last supper, when Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and
as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher
Nicene Creed • BCP 358
• all stand
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
6
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.

and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people; and God himself shall be with them and be their God; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.

celebrant people
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
But chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the true Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us, and has taken away the sin of the world. By his death he has destroyed death, and by his rising to life again he has won for us everlasting life.

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

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
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.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral, and our guests,
Henry Nouwen, the late priest and author, wrote about the Christian discipline of hospitality. Using the analogy of entertaining, he pointed out that when we entertain visitors in our homes, we don’t assume things. We take it upon ourselves to find out what will put our guests ease. And we go the extra mile to find out what they want or need: • Do they have favorite foods we might prepare? • Do they have allergies that we could help them avoid? • Do they have favorite activities, literature or music that we might have on hand for their enjoyment? In these and other ways, we extend ourselves to make our space a comfort rather than a trial, and our time together a joy rather than a drudgery. In the process of planning, we typically find that the perfect evening or weekend does not just happen. We make it happen. It was said of the early church that they cared for one another beyond what was expected or what we might think reasonable. They made the love of Christ happen in their lives. We might not be up to the level of hospitality that they practiced. But we could begin by paying attention to one another and to the guests who join us most Sunday mornings, even more so on feast days. We might go the extra mile to find out: • What has their experience of church been and what are they looking for now? • What activities in the way of worship, study and service help them to connect to a new community? • How can we stretch to meet them half-way? This is an on-going project. I’m glad you are part of it and that you are with us today. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim, The Fifth Sunday of Easter

we work New or Updated This Week — Racial Reconciliation Ministry
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 followup 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
Next Book Study session is this Wednesday, May 22; 1 pm, at St. Matthew’s. 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. For more information, speak to Linda Kiesel, John Kiesel, or Terry Laun.

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!
