First Lesson

Daniel 7:1-3,15-18

In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in bed. Then he wrote down the dream: I, Daniel, saw in my vision by night the four winds of heaven stirring up the great sea, and four great

beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.

As for me, Daniel, my spirit was troubled within me, and the visions of my head terrified me. I approached one of the attendants to ask him

3

the truth concerning all this. So he said that he would disclose to me the interpretation of the matter: “As for these four great beasts, four kings shall

arise out of the earth. But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom for ever—for ever and ever.”

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. Psalm 149

• sung by all

Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new /song; * sing his praise in the congregation /of the faithful.

Let Israel rejoice in his /Maker; * let the children of Zion be /joyful in their King.

Let them praise his Name in the /dance; * let them sing praise to him with /timbrel and harp.

For the Lord takes pleasure in his /people * and adorns the /poor with victory.

Let the faithful rejoice in /triumph; * let them be/ joyful on their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their /throat * and a two-edged /sword in their hand; To wreak vengeance on the /nations * and punishment /on the peoples;

To bind their kings in /chains * and their nobles with /links of iron;

To inflict on them the judgment de/creed; * this is glory for all his faithful people. /Hallelujah!

Second Lesson

Ephesians 1:11-23

In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you had heard the word of

4

truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.

I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,

and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the

working of his great power. God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come.

And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. Hymn 560 Gospel

Remember your servants, Lord

Luke 6:20-31

The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.

Glory to you Lord Christ

Jesus looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.

“Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

“Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.”

“But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.

“Woe to you who are full now,

for you will be hungry.

“Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.

“Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.

“But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt.

Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Sermon

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher

Renewal of Baptismal Vows • BCP 304 • the people move to the font while singing:

Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy

6

The Baptismal Covenant Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?

I do Do you believe in God the Father?

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead.

On the third day he rose again.

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?

I will, with God’s help.

Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?

I will, with God’s help.

Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?

I will, with God’s help.

Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?

I will, with God’s help.

Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?

I will, with God’s help.

• after the renewal of baptismal vows, the priest chants the Vidi Aquam as the people are

sprinkled with holy water and as the chancel party and people processes back into the nave.

The words are meant to remind us of our Baptism: “I saw water, proceeding out of the Temple from the right side thereof; and all to whom that water came shall be saved”

It is truly right to glorify you, Father, and to give you thanks; for you alone are God, living and true, dwelling in light inaccessible from before time and for ever.

Fountain of life and source of all goodness, you made all things and fill them with your blessing; you created them to rejoice in the splendor of your radiance.

Countless throngs of angels stand before you to serve you night and day; and, beholding the glory of your presence, they offer you unceasing praise. Joining with them, and giving voice to every creature under heaven, we acclaim you, and glorify your Name, as we sing (say), Sanctus

S 125

We acclaim you, holy Lord, glorious in power. Your mighty works reveal your wisdom and love. You formed us in your own image, giving the whole world into our care, so that, in obedience to you, our Creator, we might rule and serve all your creatures. When our disobedience took us far from you, you did not abandon us to the power of death. In your mercy you came to our help, so that in seeking you we might find you. Again and again you called us into covenant with you, and through the prophets you taught us to hope for salvation.

Father, you loved the world so much that in the fullness of time you sent your only Son to be our Savior. Incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, he lived as one of us, yet without sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation; to prisoners, freedom; to the sorrowful, joy. To fulfill your purpose he gave himself up to death; and, rising from the grave, destroyed death, and made the whole creation new.

10

And, that we might live no longer for ourselves, but for him who died and rose for us, he sent the Holy Spirit, his own first gift for those who believe, to complete his work in the world, and to bring to fulfillment the sanctification of all.

When the hour had come for him to be glorified by you, his heavenly Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end; at supper with them he 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.”

Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption. Recalling Christ’s death and his descent among the dead, proclaiming his resurrection and ascension to your right hand, awaiting his coming in glory; and offering to you, from the gifts you have given us, this bread and this cup, we praise you and we bless you.

We praise you, we bless you, we give thanks to you, and we pray to you, Lord our God. Lord, we pray that in your goodness and mercy your Holy Spirit may descend upon us, and upon these gifts, sanctifying them and showing them to be holy gifts for your holy people, the bread of life and the cup of salvation, the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ.

11

Grant that all who share this bread and cup may become one body and one spirit, a living sacrifice in Christ, to the praise of your Name.

Remember, Lord, your one holy catholic and apostolic Church, redeemed by the blood of your Christ. Reveal its unity, guard its faith, and preserve it in peace.

[Remember (NN. and) all who minister in your Church.]

[Remember all your people, and those who seek your truth.]

[Remember _____________.]

[Remember all who have died in the peace of Christ, and those whose faith is known to you alone; bring them into the place of eternal joy and light.]

All Saints Remembrance • family and friends who have died are remembered as the Eucharistic Prayer continues And grant that we may find our inheritance with [the Blessed Virgin Mary, with patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, (with ___________) and] all the saints who have found favor with you in ages past. We praise you in union with them and give you glory through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, all honor and glory are yours, Almighty God and Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever.

The Great Amen

• at the conclusion of the Great Thanksgiving all sing:

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,

We celebrated the Feast of All Saints at Midday Mass on Friday, November 1, but All Saints’ Day is one of the feast days that can be celebrated on the Sunday following. So today is All Saints’ Sunday in churches around the world. Read here a few words, from Morehouse Education Resources on the commemoration: From its very beginning, the Church understood the Body of Christ to encompass all baptized persons, both the living and the dead. Christ’s kingdom transcends time and space; and not even death can sever the relationship that the faithful have in Christ. All are united in a mystical communion with Christ by virtue of baptism (1 Corinthians 6:11). The term saint was used by Paul to designate all baptized Christians (Romans 1:7; 2 Corinthians 1:1; Ephesians 1:1), even the unruly ones (1 Corinthians 1:2)!

Too often Christians have used the term saint to describe only those of extraordinary sanctity who have been officially recognized (canonized) by the Church. But the life of each Christian is to radiate the love of God given to us in Christ so that all the world might know that this love transforms lives.

Read more history of All Saints’ Day on today’s Insert.

Mark these dates and events on your calendar and plan to join us:

• November 10, Launch of Stewardship ’20: Blessed to be a Blessing

• November 24, our Feast of Name, plus Ingathering of our Pledges for Ministry in 2020 (you will receive your cards by mail this week) • November 28, Thanksgiving Liturgy, with the singing of Thanksgiving Carols.

• December 24, Feast of the Incarnation—worship at 7:00 pm and 11:00 pm (Cathedral Choir will share Christmas music beginning at 6:30 pm and 10:30 pm).

Christmas Day worship is December 25 at noon in the Chapel (including the singing of Christmas Carols).

As you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of Nathan Soderblom, Swedish theologian: Saints are people who make it easier for the rest of us to believe in God. By their lives their actions their spirits, they irresistibly draw us to the love of God.

Enjoy your time at the Cathedral today.

Faithfully,

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim, On All Saints’ Sunday

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.

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.

Greetings!

A greeting card program for Christ Church Cathedral parish has been developed to recognize special and significant days – birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, weddings, and to reach out to the homebound and to express condolences. Adults with current e-mail addresses will receive e-cards from caring@christchurchlouky. org. When the animated portion ends, wait for your personal message screen to appear. Paper cards will be mailed to our children, youth and to folks without e-mail. Please add caring@ christchurchlouky.org to your e-mail addresses so that your e-cards will reach your inbox. To assure receipt of e-cards, please inform the church office of a new or updated e-mail address (after the 2017 Directory listings). Thank you!

Membership in the Episcopal Church

Episcopal Church membership is automatic in the parish at which you were baptized or confirmed, and you can easily move your membership when you relocate. 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.

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!

All Saints’ Day The early Church especially honored martyrs, those who had died for their faith. Local churches kept a record of their own martyrs and each year celebrated their ‘birthdays,’ the dates of death when they were ‘born’ into eternal life.

By the fourth century many parts of the Church had set a day of observance for their martyrs, their confessors (those who had been punished for their faith but did not die), and their virgins, all of those known by name and unknown. In the East this feast was, and still is, celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. In the West it was celebrated during Eastertide, connecting the witness of the saints with the victory of Christ over death.

The celebration of All Saints’ Day on November 1 began as a feast day commemorating all martyrs, confessors and virgins, including those whose names were not known. It was originally celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost, and the Eastern Church still observes this date.

As the Western Church spread into northern Europe, it encountered pagan festivals held in late autumn to appease the evil spirits associated with the first killing frosts and the coming of winter, darkness and death. Echoes of such feasts survive in Halloween customs. The word Halloween is a contracted form for All Hallows’ (holy persons or saints) Evening.

To make a Christian response to the pagan festivals, the Church transferred the celebration of the saints to November 1 and called it the Feast of All Saints. Both on the feast days of the saints and on All Saints’ Day, we are called to honor and imitate the saints.

Not only is All Saints’ Day an occasion on which we might celebrate this communion of saints with prayer, it is also a reminder of God’s desire to sanctify the lives of all God’s people.
