Collect for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost

The Word of God

Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name; increase in us true religion; nourish us with all goodness; and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever.

The voice of my beloved!Look, he comes,leaping upon the mountains,bounding over the hills.My beloved is like a gazelleor a young stag.Look, there he standsbehind our wall,gazing in at the windows,looking through the lattice.My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my fair one,and come away;for now the winter is past,the rain is over and gone.The flowers appear on the earth;the time of singing has come,and the voice of the turtledoveis heard in our land.The fig tree puts forth its figs,and the vines are in blossom;they give forth fragrance.Arise, my love, my fair one,and come away.”

My heart is stirring with a noble song; let me recite what I have fashioned for the / king; * my tongue shall be the pen of /a skilled writer.You are the fairest of /men; * grace flows from your lips, because God has blessed /you for ever.Your throne, O God, endures for ever and/ ever, * a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom; you love righteousness and /hate iniquity.Therefore God, your God, has a/nointed you * with the oil of gladness a/bove your fellows.All your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and /cassia, * and the music of strings from ivory pala/ces makes you glad.Kings’ daughters stand among the ladies of the/ court; * on your right hand is the queen, adorned with the /gold of Ophir.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. In fulfillment of his own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures. You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger; for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness. Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank growth of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.

Second Lesson James 1:17-27For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act-they will be blessed in their doing. If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Mark.Glory to you Lord Christ

Gospel Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23

Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus, they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written,

‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.’ You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”

Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile. For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”

The Gospel of the Lord.Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.

Concluding Hymn 213 Come away to the skies

Blessing

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,

You might notice that we have changed the arrangement of the Nave today. It will be in this configuration for today and the next three Sundays. This set up will not, for the most part, be a new one for you—it is the layout that was in place when I first arrived at the Cathedral.

Why are we moving things around? Several reasons. For one thing, we are working with Bishop White and his staff to place more focus on the altar and Holy Eucharist. Bringing it closer to the congregation and gathering congregational chairs and clergy seating around it might be helpful. Also, we have realized that the angled seating made it difficult for folks to access chair pockets and kneelers or to make their way down the aisle into their seats.

Let us know what you think as we experiment with this and other settings. I’ll keep you up to date on the plans and the reasons.

August is on the wane, but we have a busy September just around the corner, and: the return of our Choir, Dean’s Forum, and Children’s Sunday School; the return of Midday Mass, Evening Prayer and Tuesday Bible Study after a week-long break. In addition, you can look forward to special events such as our Barbecue Potluck Lunch on the 20th, the Walk in Central Park on the 19th and the Anti-Gun Violence Convention on the 26th. Find something that would be so much better for your presence—and join in.

Finally, remember that 2 weeks from today, September 13, we change our Sunday morning schedule (see those new times on page 6).

I will be away this week through next Sunday, but call if you have a need and I will find someone to help. I will see you the following Sunday, September 13, at 8:30 in the Chapel or 10:30 in the Nave.

As you prepare for worship today, ponder the words of Hildegard of Bingen;

Holy Spirit, giving life to all life, moving all creatures, root of all things, washing them clean, wiping out their mistakes healing their wounds, you are our true life, luminous, wonderful, awakening the heart from its ancient sleep.

I am glad that you are here today.Faithfully,The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim The Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost

we prayOf note this week — Midday Mass update New Season of Cathedral Arts

A New Season of Cathedral Arts begins September 13I am so excited about our upcoming season of music and worship presented by Cathedral Arts. You can see all the dates of our series on our web site and in the brochure you will be receiving in the mail shortly. However, let me say that all of our beautiful instruments will be featured this season beginning with a harpsichord concert by Helen Skuggedal Reed in September; in October, we will welcome back the choir of Men and Boys from our sister cathedral in Lexington; and in November the Cathedral choir will be joined by string orchestra performing music by Mozart, Stanford, & Parry, all under my direction. I hope you will join us on Sunday, September 13, 5 p.m. for our first concert and Evensong of the year, followed by a Donor Reception in Bishop’s Hall. Donors will have the option of donating online with a credit card, which is available now on the Cathedral web site under music/support. You may also print out a donation form and mail it with a check (note instructions on the form). Envelopes and donor cards will also be available in the narthex and Cathedral office beginning August 30th. You may also bring your contribution with you to the Evensong on September 13 and place it in the offering plate. Regardless of how you contribute, please know the most important gift you can offer is to support our programs with your attendance. I do hope you will join us following Evensong for a Donor Reception in Bishop’s hall. This will be a time to greet our guest artist, connect with the choir in a social environment, and greet others who support music in these sacred and historic walls.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Enriching Our Worship continues throughout the summerEnriching Our Worship (EOW),is a Eucharistic Prayer produced by the National Church Standing Liturgical Commission in 1998, and later approved for use by General Convention. It will not be new to you, because the Cathedral has used it before. In EOW, you will recognize the familiar shape of the Eucharistic prayer that we hear every Sunday: the Sursum Corda (‘the Lord be with you; and also with you’ ...), the Sanctus (‘Holy, holy, holy’ ...) and the Great AMEN. If you have not experienced EOW, you might enjoy its simplicity.

Liaison for Children, Youth and Families Canon Bozeman is adding a new title to his name: Liaison for Children, Youth and Families. You will see it beginning today in the masthead on the last page of the bulletin. As a husband and father himself, Canon Robert has been part of the ongoing conversation about families, children and youth. He knows the cathedral’s responsibility to our families. Take some time to thank Canon Robert for helping the Cathedral community grow stronger as he takes on these new responsibilities.

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!

The Deadline for submissions to Cathedral Matters is every Thursday at close of business — ten days before you would like it to appear in print.
