When the wife of Uriah heard that her husband was dead, she made lamentation for him. When the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD, and the LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor. The rich man had very many flocks and herds; but the poor man had nothing but one little ewe lamb, which he had bought. He brought it up, and it grew up with him and with his children; it used to eat of his meager fare, and drink from his cup, and lie in his bosom, and it was like a daughter to him. Now there came a traveler to the rich man, and he was loath to take one of his own flock or herd to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him, but he took the poor man’s lamb, and prepared that for the guest who had come to him.” Then David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man. He said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die; he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.”

First Lesson 2 Samuel 11:26-12:13a Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul; I gave you your master’s house, and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added as much more. Why have you despised the word of the LORD, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, for you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife. Thus says the LORD: I will raise up trouble against you from within your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this very sun. For you did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.” David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.”

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-kindness; * in your great compassion blot out my offenses.Wash me through and through from my wickedness * and cleanse me from my sin.For I know my trans-gressions, * and my sin is ever be-fore me.Against you only have I sinned * and done what is evil in your sight.And so you are justified when you speak * and upright in your judgment.Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth, * a sinner from my mother’s womb.For behold, you look for truth deep within me, * and will make me understand wisdom secretly.Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure; * wash me, and I shall be clean in-deed.Make me hear of joy and gladness, * that the body you have broken may re-joice.Hide your face from my sins * and blot out all my in-iquities.Create in me a clean heart, O God, * and renew a right spirit with-in me.Cast me not away from your presence * and take not your holy Spirit from me.Give me the joy of your saving help again * and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it is said, “When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his people.”(When it says, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he

Second Lesson Ephesians 4:1-16might fill all things.) The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.

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

Gospel John 6:24-35

The next day, when the people who remained after the feeding of the five thousand saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.” Then they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus answered them,

“This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” So they said to him, “What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

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

Blessing

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. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our Guests,

I am away this week, but call (502-632-3213) if you have a pastoral need—I can find someone to help. Your guest Celebrant and Preacher today is the Rev’d Fr. Edgar Wallace. There will also be an all-star cast of priests up this week for Midday Mass—read more about on page 2.

Check out the word (printed below this letter) from Canon Robert Bozeman. I am glad that you are here today.

Faithfully,

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim The Tenth Sunday after Pentecost

Dear Cathedral Families:

I hope you are enjoying these wonderful summer days of fun with your families. All too soon we’ll return to our routines. With that in mind, let me share with you one special day in August:

• August 16, we will bless backpacks and have a prayer for all those returning to school. Teacher will be included in this blessing and parents may bring their briefcases, lunch boxes, etc. to be blessed as well. Donations of backpacks for those in need will be collected also. Specific information about that will be sent shortly

• Following worship on the 16th, all parents and grandparents are invited to Dean’s Hall to experience Dean Pritcher leading a formation class. On this day your children will “drop you off” just as you will eventually drop them off in the Dean’s Hall atrium. An activity will be scheduled for the children during this time before we all join together for lunch.

• That morning, I’m inviting everyone to come sing in choir as a family (even if you are not a regular choir member...just come and sing. Parents and grandparents with their children/youth are invited!). We’ll gather at 9:30 AM that morning in the choir room for rehearsal.

we prayOf note this week — Midday Mass update

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.

Evening PrayerMonday - Friday, 6 p.m. in the Chapel. Evening Prayer is on break this week, but will return Monday, August 10.Be sure to thank your Evening Prayer Officiants: Paul Real, Rite II Evening Prayer, Monday; Mildred Payne, Rite II Evening Prayer, Tuesday; Aaron Angel, Rite II Evensong, Wednesday; Keith Stevenson, Rite I Evening Prayer, Thursday; the Dean, Rite II Evening Prayer, Friday.

Blessing of the Bags On Sunday, August 16, we will bless our book bags—as well as all the bags that make up our life (purses, backpacks, briefcases, golf bags, etc). Bring your bags—and maybe an extra backpack that we can send to someone who needs it.

• Please let me know that you plan to attend so we can be prepared for you and your family. Email me at: [email protected].

Looking ahead, Sunday September 13 will be “homecoming day.” Though no king and queen will be crowned, it will mark the beginning of our season with children’s formation at 9:15 am with Dean Pritcher and as always exciting worship and fellowship.

I have assumed the role of Liaison for Children, Youth, and Families. My job in this position is to assist all of us to be in communication and be thoughtful about time together. Please let me know how I can help.

CALENDAR 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!
