AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY OF FAITH The Cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio located in downtown Cleveland

APRIL 14, 2019 | PALM SUNDAY: THE SUNDAY OF THE PASSION

EARLY EUCHARIST, 8:00 AM

THE MISSION OF TRINITY CATHEDR AL IS TO PROCLAIM IN WORD AND ACTION GOD’S JUSTICE, LOVE AND MERCY FOR ALL CREATION. WELCOME

Welcome to Trinity Cathedral. We hope that our worship will provoke, unsettle, and strengthen your faith as we begin the annual walk through Holy Week. We also hope that you will join us in the commemoration of Jesus’ last days on earth so that you may fully experience both the pain of our Lord’s passion and the power of his resurrection.

Tuesday 12:00 PM Renewal of Vows, Holy Eucharist, and Blessing of Oils

During Holy Week, it is traditional for the clergy to gather with the bishops at the cathedral and renew their ordination vows. In the Diocese of Ohio, lay people are also invited to join in the renewal of their baptismal vows, the celebration of the Eucharist, and the blessing of the oils for chrism and healing.

Wednesday 6:00 PM Tenebrae with the Trinity Chamber Singers

The name Tenebrae (the Latin word for “darkness” or “shadows”) has for centuries been applied to the ancient monastic night and early morning services (Matins and Lauds) of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times came to be celebrated on the preceding evenings. By drawing upon material from each of the former three offices of Tenebrae, this one-hour service provides an extended meditation upon, and a prelude to, the events in Jesus’ life between the Last Supper and the Resurrection. Music will be the timelessly beautiful Lamentations by English composer Robert White.

Maundy Thursday 12:10 PM Holy Eucharist and Healing Service in the Chapel 5 PM Maundy Thursday Meal 6 PM Maundy Thursday Liturgy

Easter Sunday 6 AM The Great Vigil of Easter

Join us for a very special sunrise service as we light the fire of Easter in the Cathedral’s courtyard and process with the Paschal candle through a darkened cathedral to hear the story of salvation in word, drama and song. We will then gather at the font for the renewal of our baptismal vows. We will proclaim Jesus’ resurrection, ring the bells of Easter, smell the flowers and incense, and celebrate the first Eucharist of the morning with The Rt. Rev. Arthur Williams is the homilist. It’s really worth getting up early, and we’ll even feed you breakfast when it’s over!

Rousing music will be provided by the Cathedral Choir, brass quartet, timpani and organ, conducted by Todd Wilson. Music will include the great hymns of Easter, anthems by Hancock and J.S. Bach, and Widor’s thrilling Toccata with organ and brass as postlude. The Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth will celebrate and preach.

On behalf of the gathered community of faith at Trinity Cathedral, we invite you to walk through Holy Week with us.

A Reading from the Gospel of Luke 19:29-40

After telling a parable to the crowd at Jericho, 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.”

Cantor: The Lord be with you People: and also with you Cantor: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God People: it is right to give him thanks and praise

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.

Cantor Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. People Hosanna in the highest.

Cantor Let us go forth in peace People In the name of Christ. Amen.

4 Hymn ST. THEODULPH

Collect 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.

A Reading from Isaiah 50:4-9a

The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens--wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did not turn backward. I gave my back to those who struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty?

Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

5 The Passion Gospel Luke 23:1-56

The Customary responses before and after the Gospel are omitted. The congregation may be seated for the first part of the Pas- sion. At the verse which mentions the arrival at Golgotha, all stand

Narrator Then the whole company of them arose, and brought him before Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying,

Reader We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding us to give tribute to Ceasar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.

Narrator Then Pilate asked him,

Reader “Are you the king of the Jews?”

Narrator And he answered him,

Jesus “You say so.”

Narrator And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes,

Reader “I find no crime in this man.”

Narrator But they were urgent, saying,

Reader(s) “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to this place.”

Narrator When Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. And when he learned that he belonged to Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, and was hoping to see some sign done by him. So he questioned him at some length; but made 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, araying him in gorgeous apparel, he sent him back to Pilate. And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enemity with each other. Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said to them,

Reader “You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him; neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him; I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

Narrator But they all cried out together,

Reader(s) “Away with this man, and release to us Barab’bas!”

Narrator A man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection started in the city, and for murder. Pilate address them once more, desiring to release Jesus; but they shouted out,

Crowd “Crucify, crucify him!”

Narrator A third time he said to them,

Reader “Why, what evil has he done? I have found in him no crime deserving of death; I will therefore chastise him and release him.”

6 Narrator But they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified. And their voices prevailed. So Pilate gave sentence that their demand should be granted. He released the man they who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder, whom they asked for; but Jesus he delivered up to their will. And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who were bewailed and lamented for him. But Jesus turning to them and said,

Jesus “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck!.’ 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.

All stand

Narrator When they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. Then Jesus said,

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

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

Reader(s) “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!”

Narrator The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him vinegar, and saying,

Reader(s) “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 railed at him, saying,

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

Narrator But the other rebuked him, saying,

Reader “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.”

Narrator And he said,

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

Narrator And he said to him,

Jesus “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Narrator It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 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 thy hands I commend my spirit.”

Narrator And having said this, he breathed his last.

Silence may be kept 7 Narrator Now, when the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said,

Reader “Certainly this man was innocent.”

Narrator And when all the multitudes who had assembled to see the sight, when they saw what had taken place, returned home beating their breasts. And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance and saw these things.

Narrator Now there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathe’a. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their purpose and deed, and was looking for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down, and wrapped it in a linen shroud, and laid it in a rock-hewn tomb where no one had ever been laid. It was the day of Preparation, and the sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with him from Galilee followed, and saw the tomb, and how his body was laid; then they returned and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

8 Confession and Absolution Presider Let us confess our sins to God. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as our- selves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen

Presider Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen

The Peace Presider The peace of Christ be always with you People And also with you.

Announcements The Holy Communion

The Great Thanksgiving Book of Common Prayer, Prayer A Presider The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Presider Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord. Presider Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give him thanks and praise. Presider It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. 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:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Presider 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:

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

9 And so, in remembrance of these acts, and in thanksgiving for the life they embody, we offer these gifts 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 him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.

Presider Now with the confidence we share as children of God, let us pray as Jesus has taught us: 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.

The Breaking of the Bread Presider We break this bread to share in the Body of Christ. People We who are many are one body, for we all share in the one bread.

All are invited to come forward for Communion or a blessing.

Postcommunion Prayer 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, 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 forever. Amen.

After the Postcommunion Prayer, the candles and lights are extinguished, and the clergy depart in silence. You may remain for silence and meditation. The clergy will greet the congregation in the Promenade.
