1 How wondrous and great thy works, God of praise!

How just, King of saints, and true are thy ways!

O who shall not fear thee, and honor thy Name?

Thou only art holy, thou only supreme.

The Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you.

People And with thy spirit.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The First Reading

Acts 2:1–21 When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?

Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs — in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’”

The Sermon

The Rev. Arthur A. Callaham, Canon Vicar

The Nicene Creed 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.

The Prayers of the People The Leader and People pray responsively.

Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church; That we all may be one.

7

Grant that every member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you; That your Name may be glorified by all people.

We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons; That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments.

We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world; That there may be justice and peace on the earth.

Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake; That our works may find favor in your sight.

Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief or trouble; That they may be delivered from their distress.

Give to the departed eternal rest; Let light perpetual shine upon them.

We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy; May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom.

Let us pray for our own needs and those of others.

Silence

O Most mighty and merciful God, in this time of illness, we flee unto thee for succour.

Deliver us, we beseech thee, from our peril; give strength and skill to all those who minister to the sick; prosper the means made use of for their cure; and grant that, perceiving how uncertain our life can be, we may apply our hearts unto that heavenly wisdom which leadeth to eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Among the departed, we pray for all those who have died in service to their country and all those who have perished in war-torn areas of the world.

Lord, hear the prayers of thy people; and what we have asked faithfully, grant that we may obtain effectually, to the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Peace Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you.

People

And with thy spirit.

The People greet one another in the name of the Lord.

At the Offertory Anthem Richard Dirksen (1921–2003) Praise the Spirit in creation, Breath of God, life’s origin: Spirit moving on the waters, quickening worlds to life within.

Source of breath to all things breathing, life in whom all lives begin.

Praise we thou, O Lord the Spirit, on our lives descent in might; let your flame break out within us, fire our hearts and clear our sights, till, white-hot in your possession, we, too, set the world alight.

Praise, O praise the Holy Spirit, Praise the Father, praise the Word.

Source, and truth, and Inspiration, Trinity in deep accord: through your voice which speaks within us we, your creatures, call you Lord. ­— Michael Hewlett (1916–2000) Members of the Parish and Cathedral Choirs

The Blessing The Dismissal Celebrant Let us go forth into the world, rejoicing in the power of the Spirit.

People Thanks be to God.

Closing Voluntary

Veni Creator Spiritus: Dialogue sur les grands Jeux

Nicolas de Grigny (1672–1703)

Justin Shen, soloist Daryl Robinson, Cathedral Organist Music Notes Today’s offertory anthem, Praise the Spirit in creation, combines two firsts. In a packed Martin Luther King Jr. Chapel at Morehouse College, Atlanta, it was my privilege to conduct its first performance at the opening event of the 1992 national convention of the American Guild of Organists. In another first, this is the debut virtual choir project for the Parish and Cathedral Choirs. Composer Richard Dirksen was recognized for his wide-ranging gifts. Spending his illustrious 49-year career entirely at the Washington National Cathedral, Wayne, as he was known to his friends, served variously as organist-choirmaster, composer in residence, and Precentor. It was he who oversaw the planning for the Cathedral’s consecration in 1990.

Though written too late to appear in The Hymnal 1982, Praise the Spirit stands as one of the great American hymn tunes of the 20th century. — RLS 9

The Book of Remembrance This week we remember Patty Parrish Hurt and David Howard Miller.

The Beauty of Flowers The flowers on the Cathedral Altar are given to the glory of God in thanksgiving for their family, friends, and all of the Cathedral community, especially Art Callaham and his family, who will be sorely missed, by Donna and Carter Boyd.
