• Join us for coffee and conversation across the plaza in the Chapter House Library after the 8:30 a.m. service or in the Chapter House Dining Room after the 11 a.m. service.

Welcome to this sacred house of prayer for all people. Those who built this place and care for it love tradition and feel passionate about engaging with what is new. If you look closely you will find images of scientists, reformers, Jewish rabbis and Roman Catholic popes, political leaders, saints, and even an astronaut.We invite you to be part of this joyful community even if your visit is short. You might ask yourself two questions: “What do I need to receive? What do I have to give?” We would be delighted to hear about your explorations. May God bless you on your journey!

– The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral

Welcome to Grace Cathedral

about today’s readingsJeremiah 23:23-29, Psalm 82, Hebrews 11:29-12:2, Luke 12:49-56Reading texts can be found at the end of the service leaflet.

Against the backdrop of “Left Behind” lore or suicide bombers seeking martyrdom, we may find ourselves ill at ease with today’s apocalyptic readings. Rather than fear or dismiss them as predictions, we can benefit from their rich descriptions of the real as seen through the eyes of God. We begin with today’s reading from Jeremiah, who critiques prophets in thrall to their own brilliance; they become disconnected from the source of prophesy, and an inevitable distortion of truth results. It is only by faithfulness—allowing God to act in and through us—that we are able to reveal God’s presence and truth in the world. The history of this faithfulness is celebrated in the Letter to the Hebrews, culminating in Jesus, “the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.” The nature of Jesus’ faithfulness is absolute alignment with the nature of God. Jesus sees as God sees. That striking clarity of vision equips Jesus to suffer precisely because suffering is not the end; he can see through suffering to fulfillment. Today’s gospel begins with Jesus yearning for the fulfillment of his baptism, that is, his death that defeats death. This yearning describes the in-between time in which we still live, between the present and the full revelation of the Kingdom of God. To join Jesus in the fullness of his baptism is to be willing to die to our own distortions and have the courage to see the world through God’s eyes. As Christ perfects our vision, may we also follow him to the place of self-emptying love—the cross— and reveal together the Kingdom in this time and place.

The Nicene Creed Said by all, standing.

We believe in one God,All 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. !rough 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 cruci"ed under Pontius Pilate; he su#ered 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 glori"ed. 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.

Presider

The Prayers of the People

We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created.

We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf.

Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen. The presider pronounces God’s absolution.

The Peace

Presider "e peace of Christ be always with you. All And also with you. All may greet each other in the name of Christ.

Presider And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray,

The Breaking of the Bread The Bread is broken. Silence follows.

The choir alone sings the first Alleluia, then the people join in.

Choir Christ our passover is sacri!ced for us

People

All repeat the three Alleluias.

Invitation to Communion

The presider invites the people to come forward for Communion. All who seek God and are drawn to Christ are welcome at God’s table. Gluten-free Communion wafers are available at the north altar rail; please ask the

Communion minister. For a variety of reasons, it is our custom to consume the Bread and sip the Wine directly from the cup. You are invited to guide the cup by grasping its base. If you choose not to receive either the Bread

or the Wine, simply cross your arms over your chest and respond “Amen” when it is presented.

Ministers are available for shared prayer for healing in the AIDS Interfaith Chapel at the rear of the cathedral.

Agnus Dei Monteverdi

you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.

The Readings

Jeremiah 23:23–29

Am I a God near by, says the Lord, and not a God far off? Who can hide in secret places so that I

cannot see them? says the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the Lord. I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in my name, saying, “I have dreamed, I have dreamed!” How long? Will the hearts of the prophets ever turn back—those who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart? They plan to make my people forget my name by their dreams that they tell one another, just as their ancestors forgot my name for Baal. Let the prophet who has a dream tell the dream, but let the one who has my word speak my word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat? says the Lord. Is not my word like fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?

Hebrews 11:29—12:2

By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians

attempted to do so they were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days. By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to f light. Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even

chains and imprisonment. They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented— of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. Yet all these, though they were commended for their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better so that they would not, apart from us, be made perfect.Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

Luke 12:49–56

Jesus said, “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a

baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘It is going to rain’; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat’; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?”
