An Evening Prayer (AAHH)

If I have wounded any soul today, if I have caused one foot to stray, if I have walked in my own willful way, dear God, forgive.

If I have uttered idle words or vain, if I have turned aside from want or pain, lest I offend some other through the strain, dear God, forgive.

*Our God is love.

Crucifer - Deacon Sue Gallagher

Processional Hymn

Old 120th (Hymns of the Spirit)

O thou not made with hands, not throned above the skies, nor walled with shining walls, nor framed with stones of price,

more bright than gold or gem, God’s own Jerusalem!

Where’er the gentle heart finds courage from above, where’er the heart forsook warms with the breath of love, where faith bids fear depart; City of God! Thou art.

Where in life’s common ways with cheerful feet we go, when in Christ’s steps we tread who trod the way of woe; where Christ is in the heart, City of God! Thou art.

Not throned above the skies, nor gold-walled afar, but where Christ’s two or three, in that name gathered are; be in the midst of them, God’s own Jerusalem! Amen.

Opening Prayer (Sunshine Cathedral 2024 Daily Prayer)

Rev Dr Anne Atwell

One: Let us pray in unison:

Right now, I am tapping into the universal life force.

I wish for all who are suffering to find relief and hope. I deny fear any power over me.

I will be a bright light in the world.

I am serene and confident and full of joy.

I expect blessings.

Nothing is too good for me

May we all be strong and wise and loving.

May Love heal our world.

Let there be peace.

Amen.

The Wisdom of Daniel Chesney Kanter

Rev Marian Cavagnaro

Today we begin the walk to Jerusalem

The holy week

The demand that we face the broken path, the abuse of power.

Today we walk toward the dayspring breaking through, The Easter day of joy.

So let us prepare the way,

Let us join together this morning in worship

To see what holiness resides within and about us

To welcome in the day

And make clear the path for the work of God.

In these human words, God's voice is heard.

Thanks be to God.

The Wisdom of David O. Rankin

Rev Dr Durrell Watkins

Palm Sunday is found: whenever we are serving a noble and unpopular cause with selfless devotion, holding to the ideals of truth and justice; whenever we are seeking to uplift the fallen, to comfort the brokenhearted, to strengthen and encourage the weak and hopeless; whenever we are working bravely and persistently in the face of abuse and criticism to establish more equitable relations in the world; whenever we are sacrificing our lives in behalf of what we believe to be the service of love for all humanity. That is Palm Sunday!

In these human words, God's voice is heard.

Thanks be to God.

Gradual Ride On! Ride on in Majesty

Ride on! Ride on in majesty! O Christ, with brave humility, on lowly colt, your road pursue, as palms and cloaks are spread for you.

Ride on! Ride on in majesty! As crowds of people come to see and shout hosannas, lifting high their praise for one about to die.

The Good News According to Mark (11.7b-11; 14.3 & 9 New Jerusalem Bible)

Rev Dr Anne Atwell

They brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it.

Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting,

“Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!

Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple, and when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

While he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the jar and poured the ointment on his head. Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, wherever the good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her.”

In these human words, God's voice is heard.

Thanks be to God.

Sung Response Ride On! Ride on in Majesty

Ride on! Ride on in majesty! Ride on in humble dignity; behold the ones you came to save from senseless life and sorrows grave.

Ride on! Ride on in majesty! For you have set your people free and we, remembering all your pain, now meet again to hail your reign.

Please be seated

All else is changing, Thou alone art sure. Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through joy eternal, Lord, abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy Truth before my wondering sight; Shine in my soul, fill me with life and light; Heav’n’s morning breaks, its glory now I see; Thou in rich blessing dost abide in me.

Abide with me; the dawn of day is here; Darkness is vanished, light is shining clear; Truth’s glorious message makes the glad earth free; O holy Comforter, abide with me!

I need Thy presence, satisfying, pure;

How Could Anyone

How could anyone ever tell you - you were anything less than beautiful?

How could anyone ever tell you - you were less than whole?

How could anyone fail to notice that your loving is a miracle?

How deeply you’re connected to my soul.

How could anyone ever tell you - you were anything less than beautiful?

Service of Sacraments

Sacrament of Sharing (Tithes & Offerings)

Rev Dr Robert Griffin

Offering Prayer

Rev Kevin Tisdol

One: Because we value our community and believe in our inspired mission, because we want every person to live with hope and joy, and because we know that even a little can mean a lot, we participate in the Sacrament of Sharing, the joyful giving of resources meant to help more and more people discover that they are God’s miracle and not God’s mistake.

All: We give what we can and do so with love. Every dime and every dollar given with the intention to bless others will make a difference in someone’s life. This brings us joy, and in this way, we worship. God bless our gifts to faithful service, for the sake of your love. Amen.

Eucharistic Intentions & Intercessions

9:00 Rev Kevin Tisdol /10:30 Deacon Michael Karban

One: Our hearts are set on God’s loving presence. Let us affirm our trust in God.

All: I believe in God, the Good, and in the message and mission of God’s anointed prophet, Jesus the Wayshower, who was born of Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was executed for empowering the powerless and restoring the dignity of the marginalized, and yet he lives in our hearts and ministry. I believe in the omnipresent power of divine Love, in the Blessed Community, in the sacred value of all people, and in life without end. Amen.

9:00 Rev Kevin Tisdol /10:30 Deacon Michael Karban

Mother-Father God, we affirm blessings for all who are on the Cathedral’s prayer list and for all who are on our hearts. We trust you to lead, guide, and direct each of us in the ways of happiness, well-being, and right action. We pray for those who hold authority in the nations of the world that they may be guided by wisdom and motivated by a love of justice and peace. We pray for our departed loved ones, (+) let light perpetual shine upon them. And with people all over the world we pray, May peace prevail on earth!

These prayers we offer in the names of all helpers of humanity, and in the spirit of Jesus, son of Mary, as we continue to pray as Jesus taught us:

Model Prayer

Creator which art in heaven, hallowed be thy names. Thy kin-dom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And leave us not in temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kin-dom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Please be seated.

The Lord’s Supper

9:00 Rev Kevin Tisdol /10:30 Deacon Michael Karban

Celebrant: We celebrate this Eucharist to the glory of God and with special intentions for peace in our world.

Rev Marian Cavagnaro & Rev Dr Anne Atwell

One: Referring to the Christian Mass, Thich Nhat Hanh said: “This piece of bread is the body of the whole cosmos. Look deeply and you notice the sunshine in the bread, the blue sky in the bread, the cloud and the great earth in the bread...What is not in a piece of bread? The whole cosmos has come together in order to bring to you this piece of bread. Eat it in such a way that you come alive, truly alive.”

One: The Apostle Paul wrote, “Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a participation in the life of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.”

All: At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “When you share this feast, (+) remember me.”

In his name, we share grape and grain, love and life. Amen.

Sung Response

For bread before us broken, for wine before us poured, for words which you have spoken, we give you thanks, O Lord.

In prayer that we’ll be strengthened and be again restored, in faith that you will aid us, we seek your table, Lord.

Invitation to Communion

Rev Kevin Tisdol

One: These are the gifts of God for all the people of God.

All: Thanks be to God.

Communion is Shared

Postlude

Barbara Ramcharitar

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK OUR PITHY SAYINGS

by Rev. Dr. Durrell Watkins (Senior Minister, Sunshine Cathedral)

Someone asked me recently to list out some of our most often used pithy sayings at Sunshine Cathedral. They also asked about the opening I often use for public prayer (God of many names…) and then another person asked for a prayer formula I shared years ago in a prayer class. Here are the answers to all three questions.

First, the opening line I use for some prayers: “God of many names, Mystery beyond our naming…”

Secondly, the 5 step prayer formula: It is simply to recognize the Allness/Isness of Life that we call God, and since it is All-in-all, we must be part of it; that being true, ultimately all must be well. So, we rejoice and release the intention and energy of our prayers to the perfection of divine right action. The simple (and silly, but still accurate) example I gave for that formula was:

“God is. I Am. All is well. Hot damn. Peace out.”

And finally, some of the catch phrases that we used almost constantly at Sunshine Cathedral include:

I can go to piece instead of to pieces.

There’s not a spot where God is not. There is good for me and I ought to have it.

We are God’s miracle and not God’s mistake. There is grace equal to every need.

The future has infinite possibilities.

All people have sacred value.

I am part and parcel of God.

God is Love.

Have a blessed Holy Week and I hope to see you on Easter morinng!

A PRAYER FOR 2024 by Rev. Dr. Durrell Watkins (Put this prayer where you will see it every day and use it throughout 2024)

Right now, I am tapping into the universal life force. I wish for all who are suffering to find relief and hope. I deny fear any power over me.

I will be a bright light in the world.

I am serene and confident and full of joy.

I expect blessings. Nothing is too good for me.

May we all be strong and wise and loving.

May Love heal our world. Let there be peace. Amen.

~Believe that following the way and teachings of Jesus can lead to experiencing sacredness, wholeness, and unity of all life – even as we recognize that the spirit moves in beneficial ways in many faith traditions.

~Seek community that is inclusive of all people, honoring differences in theological perception, age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, class, or ability.

~Strive for peace and justice among all people, knowing that behaving with compassion and selfless love towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.

~Embrace the insights of contemporary science and stive to protect the earth and its integrity and sustainability.

~Commit to a path of life-long learning, believing there is more value in questioning than in absolutes.

SAINTS OF THE WEEK

March 24: Archangel Gabriel – a messenger in sacred literature. Gabriel appears to Daniel in the Hebrew scriptures and to both Mary and Zechariah in the New Testament. Gabriel is also mentioned in the Book of Enoch as well as in the traditions of Islam and the Baha’i Faith.

St. (Archbishop) Oscar Romero (1917-1980)—Martyr of El Salvador. As the violence of the death squads escalated Romero experienced a personal transformation as the voice of the poor and a fearless champion of justice. He was unafraid to confront the political, military, and even religious forces of oppression. The masses of poor found in him a shepherd who loved them. He was assassinated at the altar while saying Mass in a hospital.

March 25: The Annunciation to Mary, the Blessed Lady—Luke tells the story (1:26-38) of the visit of an angel to announce to a young Jewish girl that she would give birth to the messiah. The Church, from its very beginning, has given Mary a place of honor for being the mother of Jesus.

Ted Jennings (1942 – 2020) - a Chicago Theological Seminary professor who wrote books affirming Queer people the bible. He was an ordained Methodist minister who spent more than two decades teaching at Chicago Theological Seminary. He retired in 2017 as Professor Emeritus of Biblical and Constructive Theology. His books include: “The Man Jesus Loved: Homoerotic Narratives from the New Testament” and “Jacob’s Wound: Homoerotic Narrative in the Literature of Ancient Israel”. At CTS, Jennings initiated the Gay Studies program, which grew into the Center for LGBTQ Religious Studies.

March 26: Bishop Richard Allen (1760-1831)—Founder of African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. Born a slave, Allen was sold to a Methodist farmer and was converted. After purchasing his freedom he felt called to preach. He felt the needs of African-Americans were best suited by the message of hope he heard in the Wesleyan movement. After many years of struggle against white control of Black churches, in 1816 he organized the first major black denomination, the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

March 27: Meister Eckhart (1260-1329)—Dominican theologian

and mystic. Eckhart’s writings were largely condemned in his lifetime, however he is today seen as a prophet of modern spirituality. He wrote in mystical and paradoxical terms of the union of the soul with God, of a God-consciousness that is attained only by emptying and detachment. His thoughts show many similarities to Zen Buddhism. He liked to say “Do not cling to the symbols, but get to the inner truth!”

March 28: Katherine Lee Bates, (Aug 12, 1859 – Mar 28, 1929) - author of “America the Beautiful,” was a lesbian.

March 29: Emmanuel Swedenborg (1688 – 1772) – Swedish scientist, philosopher, and Christian mystic. His writings influenced William Blake, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Balzac, and Helen Keller. His writings also offer the theological framework for the Swedenborgian Church.

March 30: Maimonides (1135 – 1204) - a Jewish rabbi and philosopher (sometimes called by his admirers the “second Moses”). He is considered the premier Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages. Maimonides sought to harmonize faith and reason, and was open to elements of Neo-Platonism. He interpreted the bible allegorically and minimized anthropomorphic (human) characterizations of God.

Horatio W. Dresser (1866-1954) - His parents were students of Phineas P. Quimby. He was graduated from Harvard and later became a Swedenborgian minister. His many writings include The Christ Ideal, The Perfect Whole, Spiritual Health and Healing, Handbook of the New Thought, and The Power of Silence. He also compiled and edited a selection of Phineas Quimby’s works: The Quimby Manuscripts. Dresser believed, “Any individual can be, in time, what he [or she] earnestly desires to be, if he [or she] but set his [or her] face steadfastly in the direction of that one thing and bring all his [or her] powers to bear upon its attainment.”

Sister Thea Bowman (1937-1990)—African-American Franciscan. Thea Bowman was born in rural Mississippi. As a nun she worked to integrate her Catholic faith and her identity as an African-American woman. Being the only black face in a white religious order she tended to stand out! Rather than conforming to European models, she was determined to express her black cultural identity, but as a Catholic. She earned a doctorate in English, and was known as a spellbinding preacher. In her final struggle with breast cancer, her prayer was “Lord, let me live until I die.”
