A Welcome from the Dean Grace to you, and welcome to the worship of the Cathedral of St. Philip on this Palm Sunday! We are an Episcopal Church (part of the worldwide Anglican Communion), seeking to serve God in the fullness of a reverent, ancient, and lively tradition. Our set form of common prayer is called a liturgy, and we believe that structure actually sets our hearts and minds free to worship in glorious ways.

We are glad you have joined us today; if you are visiting and would like to learn more about the Cathedral, please sign a visitor card and leave it with a priest after the service. We urge you, too, to become a member of our congregation; we need your gifts!

Today is Palm Sunday in the Christian Church, the day that begins the most solemn week of our church year. The drama of our service begins with our reenacting the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in his last week. We will bless palm branches and walk around the block shouting “Hosanna in the highest.” Soon, however, our service will take on a much more somber tone. The other name for this Sunday is “The Sunday of the Passion,” when the story of Jesus’ last hours has traditionally been told. Members of our congregation will take special roles in that reading; indeed, the entire congregation will take the role of the crowd.

Finally, as we do each Sunday, we will celebrate the Eucharist. All are invited to receive the sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood, and we hope it will change your life. Today, that Eucharist is the beginning of Holy Week. We invite you to return throughout the week and walk the way of Jesus, through crucifixion and death, to Easter, the day of hope and resurrection.

The procession begins on the labyrinth and moves to Andrews Drive, around the Cathedral point, and north along Peachtree Road. Everyone is encouraged to shout “Hosanna,” “Peace in heaven,” “Glory in the highest,” “Hosanna in the highest,” or other words of acclamation. We re-enter the building from the horseshoe drive doors.

THE LITURGY OF THE PALMS Dean All

Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

Let us pray.

Assist us mercifully with your help, O Lord God of our salvation, that we may enter with joy upon the contemplation of those mighty acts, whereby you have given us life and immortality; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Dean

A Deacon reads Luke 19:28-40 Jesus went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They said, “The Lord needs it.” Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”

The Dean then says the following blessing

All Dean All

The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.

Dean

It is right to praise you, Almighty God, for the acts of love by which you have redeemed us through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. On this day he entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph, and was proclaimed as King of kings by those who spread their garments and branches of palm along his way.

Let these branches be for us signs of his victory, and grant that we who bear them in his name may ever hail him as our King, and follow him in the way that leads to eternal life; who lives and reigns in glory with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

Dean All

Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD The Collect for the Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday Celebrant The Lord be with you.

All And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray.

Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

All sit.

A Reading from The Letter of Paul to the Philippians (2:5-11).

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Lector All

The Passion Gospel

All sit. The customary responses before and after the Gospel are omitted.

Read by the Cathedral youth at 8:45 a.m. Sung by the choir at 11:15 a.m.

Luke 23:1-49

The Passion Gospel is announced by the Narrator, saying

The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.

Narrator Then the assembly rose as a body and brought Jesus before Pilate. They began to accuse

him, saying, Officers

“We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding us to pay taxes to the emperor, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king.”

Narrator

Then Pilate asked him,

Pilate

“Are you the king of the Jews?”

Narrator

He answered,

Jesus

“You say so.”

Narrator

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds,

Pilate

“I find no basis for an accusation against this man.”

Narrator

But they were insistent and said,

Officers

“He stirs up the people by teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he began even to this place.”

Narrator

When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. And when he learned that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him off to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had been waiting to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him and was hoping to see him perform some sign. He questioned him at some length, but Jesus gave him no answer.

The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him. Even Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him; then they put an elegant robe on him, and sent him back to Pilate. That same day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other; before this they had been enemies.

Pilate then called together the chief priests, the leaders, and the people, and said to them,

Pilate

“You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and here I have examined him in your presence and have not found this man guilty of any of your charges against him. Neither has Herod, for he sent him back to us. Indeed, he has done nothing to deserve death. I will therefore have him flogged and release him.”

Narrator

Then they all shouted out together,

All (8:45 a.m. only) “Away with this fellow! Release Barabbas for us!”

Narrator

(This was a man who had been put in prison for an insurrection that had taken place in the city, and for murder.) Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again; but they kept shouting,

All (8:45 a.m. only) “Crucify, crucify him!”

Narrator

A third time he said to them,

Pilate

“Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no ground for the sentence of death; I will therefore have him flogged and then release him.”

8

Narrator

But they kept urgently demanding with loud shouts that he should be crucified; and their voices prevailed. So Pilate gave his verdict that their demand should be granted. He released the man they asked for, the one who had been put in prison for insurrection and murder, and he handed Jesus over as they wished.

As they led him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and they laid the cross on him, and made him carry it behind Jesus. A great number of the people followed him, and among them were women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him. But Jesus turned to them and said,

Jesus

“Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For the days are surely coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us’; and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

Narrator

Two others also, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.

All Stand

Narrator

Then Jesus said,

Jesus

“Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”

Narrator

And they cast lots to divide his clothing. And the people stood by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying,

Leaders

“He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!”

Narrator

The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine.

Soldiers

“If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”

Narrator

There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.” One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying,

Criminal

“Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

Narrator

But the other rebuked him, saying,

Criminal

“Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

Narrator

Then he said,

Criminal

“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

Narrator

He replied,

Jesus

“Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Narrator

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, while the sun’s light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said,

Jesus

“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”

Narrator

Having said this, he breathed his last.

A period of silence is kept.

9

Narrator

When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said,

Centurion

“Certainly this man was innocent.”

Narrator

And when all the crowds who had gathered there for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they returned home, beating their breasts. But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

The Sermon

Dean Candler

Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ was lifted high upon the cross that he might draw the whole world to himself: Mercifully grant that we, who glory in the mystery of our redemption, may have grace to take up our cross and follow him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

THE HOLY COMMUNION The Offertory Offertory Anthems 8:45 a.m.

music: Michael Sitton (b. 1958), Wondrous Love words: Wondrous Love, American folk hymn publ. in The Southern Harmony (1835)

What wondrous love is this, O my soul, What wondrous love is this That caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb I will sing; To God and to the Lamb Who is the great I AM, While millions join the theme, I will sing.

When I was sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down Beneath God’s righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.

And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on; And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be, And through eternity I’ll sing on.

11:15 a.m.

music: Kenneth Leighton (1929-1988), Solus ad victimam words: Peter Abelard (1079-1142), tr. Helen Waddell (1889-1965)

Alone to sacrifice thou goest, Lord, Giving thyself to Death whom thou hast slain.

For us thy wretched folk is any word?

Who know that for our sins this is thy pain?

For they are ours, O Lord, our deeds, our deeds, Why must thou suffer torture for our sin?

Let our hearts suffer in thy Passion, Lord, That by thy suffering we may thy mercy win.

This is the night of tears, the three days’ space, Sorrow abiding of the eventide, Until the day break with the risen Christ, And hearts that sorrowed shall be satisfied.

So may our hearts share in thine anguish, Lord, That they may sharers of thy glory be; Heavy with weeping may the three days pass, To win the laughter of thine Easter Day.

The Great Thanksgiving Celebrant The Lord be with you.

All And also with you.

Eucharistic Prayer A, BCP, p. 361

Celebrant All

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Celebrant All

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

Celebrant

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. For our sins he was lifted high upon the cross, that he might draw the whole world to himself; and, by his suffering and death, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who put their trust in him.

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: All sing

The Sanctus and Benedictus

S 130, Franz Schubert, Deutsche Messe

14

All stand or kneel.

Celebrant

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: All

Christ has died.

Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

15

Celebrant

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 Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, The Lord’s Prayer 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.

Communion Anthems 8:45 a.m.

music: Philip Ledger (1937-2012), A Passiontide Carol music: Walter Shirley (1725-1786)

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross I spend, Life and health and peace possessing, From the sinners’ dying Friend.

For Thy sorrows we adore Thee, For the pains that wrought our peace, Gracious Saviour, we implore Thee, In our souls Thy love increase.

Here I find my hope of heaven, While upon the Lamb I gaze; Loving much, and much forgiven, Let my heart o’erflow in praise.

Lord, in ceaseless contemplation, Fix our hearts and eyes on Thee, Till we taste Thy full salvation, And Thine unveiled glory see.

11:15 a.m.

music: Philip Moore (b. 1943), It Is a Thing Most Wonderful words: W. Walsham How (1823-1897)

It is a thing most wonderful, Almost too wonderful to be, That God’s own Son should come from heaven, And die to save a child like me.

And yet I know that it is true: He chose a poor and humble lot, And wept and mourned and toiled and died, For love of those who loved him not.

I sometimes think about the cross, And shut my eyes and try to see The cruel nails and crown of thorns And Jesus crucified for me.

But even could I see him die, I could but see a little part Of that great love which, like a fire, Is always burning in his heart.

And yet I want to love thee, Lord; O light the flame within my heart, That I may love thee more and more, Until I see thee as thou art.

Join us as we shout “HOSANNA!” and parade around the Cathedral remembering Jesus’ triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. All children join their parents in the Palm Sunday procession, continuing into the Cathedral at the end of the procession.

We will gather before the service in the Court of Gratitude and take our place on the Cathedral roof. Don’t miss this fun opportunity to participate in the Palm Sunday procession!
