First Lesson
Proverbs 1:20-33
Wisdom cries out in the street; in the squares she raises her voice. At the busiest corner she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? Give heed to my reproof; I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you. Because I have called and you refused, have stretched out my hand and no one heeded, and because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic strikes you, when panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, would have none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way and be sated with their own devices. For waywardness kills the simple, and the complacency of fools destroys them; but those who listen to me will be secure and will live at ease, without dread of disaster.” The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

The heavens declare the glory of God, * and the firmament shows his handiwork. One day tells its tale to an-other, * and one night imparts knowledge to an-other. Although they have no words or language, * and their voices are not heard, Their sound has gone out into all lands, * and their message to the ends of the world. In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; * it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices like a champion to run its course. It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it a-gain; * nothing is hidden from its burning heat. The law of the LORD is perfect and revives the soul; * the testimony of the LORD is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent. The statutes of the LORD are just and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the LORD is clear and gives light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean and endures for ever; * the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous alto-gether. More to be desired are they than gold, more than much fine gold, * sweeter far than honey, than honey in the comb. By them also is your servant enlightened, * and in keeping them there is great reward. Who can tell how often he of-fends? * cleanse me from my secret faults. Above all, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; * then shall I be whole and sound, and innocent of a great of-fense. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, * O LORD, my strength and my re-deemer.

James 3:1-12
Second Lesson
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is perfect, able to keep the whole body in check with a bridle. If we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies. Or look at ships: though they are so large that it takes strong winds to drive them, yet they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is placed among our members The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Alleluia Verse

•
sung by cantor, then all
as a world of iniquity; it stains the whole body, sets on fire the cycle of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell. For every species of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by the human species, but no one can tame the tongue-- a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse those who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to be so. Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and brackish water? Can a fig tree, my brothers and sisters, yield olives, or a grapevine figs? No more can salt water yield fresh.
Gospel
Mark 8:27-38
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Mark.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” And they answered him, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.” He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.” And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him. Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me,
Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life? Those who are ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of them the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Hark, I hear the harps eternal
arr. Alice Parker
Hark I hear the Harps eternal ringing on the farther shore As I near those swollen waters with their deep and solemn roar. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the Lamb! Hallelujah, hallelujah, Glory to the great I AM!
And my soul, tho’ stain’d with sorrow fading as the light of day, Passes swiftly o’er those waters, to the city far away Hallelujah, hallelujah, etc. Souls have cross’d before me, saintly, to that land of perfect rest; And I hear them singing faintly, in the mansions of the blest. Hallelujah! • all stand

Cathedral Matters Christ Church Cathedral, Louisville, KY
•
September 13, 2015
A church in the heart of the city with a heart for the c ity For more on these and other Cathedral Matters go to . . . www.christchurchlouky.org Weekly E-Notes facebook.com/ChristChurchLouKY • Twitter.com/ChristChurchLou My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
. . . . .from the Dean
Our Gospel passage today begins with Christ’s conversation with Peter about whom he believes Jesus is. From there it talks about the responsibilities associated with being a follower of Christ. Christ is preparing his disciples for difficult times in Jerusalem, when his life and ministry will take an ominous turn. Christ wants them to know that he is ready to offer himself up to rejection, suffering and death. His words to the disciples in this passage have been described as the ‘cost of discipleship’. He says to them: If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life? Indeed, what can they give in return for their life?
The Gospel’s phrase ‘take up your cross’ is familiar to most of us. But, what does it mean for us to ‘take up our cross’? To what extent will we go to be disciples? How much and in what way are we willing to suffer? You might notice that today is our 3rd Sunday in the experimental space we have created here in the Nave. It will be in this configuration for at least one more Sunday. Why did we move things around? Several reasons.
For one thing, Bishop White has asked us to place more focus on the altar and the sacrament of Holy Eucharist. That makes sense to your staff, and we are working with him. Bringing the altar closer to the congregation and gathering congregational chairs and clergy seating around it might help—the altar already appears to be more central to our work. The chairs are behind the altar to give us an idea of how it would work to place the Bishop’s cathedra there in the future (my seat will be on the side as it has been before—we have moved it now simply to give servers a chance to see how they would work with chairs on the platform). The screen that we have placed behind those chairs is a first ‘home-made’ effort toward finding workable screening between chancel and choir space—this is another effort to direct attention at all times to Holy Communion. This is all a work in progress. You have been very helpful to us in your comments. Please continue to let us know what you think as we experiment with this and other settings—call, write, or tell me in person. And watch this space: I’ll keep you informed of our work and let you know the reasoning. I am glad that you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Blessing Our Animals and All Creation on October 4
Bring your pets (or any non-human living thing that reminds you of God’s creation) to church on Sunday, October 4: cats, dogs, potted plants...even a photograph of your animal companion. We will thank God for all of creation. If your animal companion is comfortable in crowds, consider bringing him/her, suitably leashed or contained, to the 10:30 a.m. service in the Nave. That’s right - in the church. Your animal may remain with you in the church for the duration of the service, or leave immediately after the Blessing at the beginning of the service. You may also bring more timid animals to the 1 p.m. blessing in the garden.

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!
