Saint Mark’s episcopal cathedral seattle, washington live-streamed liturgy during cathedral closure The Holy Eucharist the third sunday of easter April 26, 2020 11:00 am Saint Mark’s episcopal cathedral seattle, washington live-streamed liturgy during cathedral closure To all members of the Saint Mark’s Cathedral community, and visitors and guests near and far, welcome to Saint Mark’s Cathedral’s livestream-only service of Holy Eucharist. The Book of Common Prayer reminds us that if one is unable to actually consume the consecrated bread and wine due to extreme sickness or disability, the desire is enough for God to grant all the benefits of communion (BCP, p. 457). When being present at a celebration of the Eucharist is impossible, this act of prayer and meditation can provide the means by which you can associate yourself with the Eucharistic Action and open yourself to God’s grace and blessing. Please join in singing the hymns, saying the responses, and participating in the prayers fully, even while unable to be present in the cathedral for a time. Please reach out to the cathedral—through whatever channel is convenient for you—to share what this experience was like for you, and how we might make it better. More information about the cathedral’s continuing activities during this time of closure may be found at saintmarks.org. 2 THE GATHERING A brief organ voluntary offered a few minutes before the hour invites all into quiet prayer and preparation. prelude Le Banquet Céleste [The Celestial Banquet] Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992) welcome As the opening hymn is introduced, all rise as able. hymn 180 He is risen, he is risen! ◆ The Hymnal 1982 #180 tune: Unser Herrscher [stanzas 1, 2, & 4] 1.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD reading Acts 2:14a, 36–41 eter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd, “Let Pthe entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be for- given; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.” And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand persons were added.” Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. Assembly Thanks be to God. 5 psalm Psalm 116:1–3, 10–17 Peter R. Hallock (1924–2014) A Cantor introduces the antiphon, all repeat it. The Choir chants the psalm verses, all repeating the antiphon as indicated. Organ: Everyone: I will walk in the presence of the LORD, in the land of the living. Dilexi, quoniam love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, * I because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him. ANTIPHON 2 The cords of death entangled me; the grip of the grave took hold of me; * I came to grief and sorrow. 3 Then I called upon the Name of the Lord: * “O Lord, I pray you, save my life.” ANTIPHON 10 How shall I repay the Lord * for all the good things he has done for me? 11 I will lift up the cup of salvation * and call upon the Name of the Lord. ANTIPHON 12 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord * in the presence of all his people. 13 Precious in the sight of the Lord * is the death of his servants. ANTIPHON 14 O Lord, I am your servant; * I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds. 15 I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving * and call upon the Name of the Lord. ANTIPHON 16 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord * in the presence of all his people, 17 In the courts of the Lord’s house, * in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! ANTIPHON reading 1 Peter 1:17–23 f you invoke as Father the one who judges all people impartially according to Itheir deeds, live in reverent fear during the time of your exile. You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perish- able things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish. He was destined before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of the ages for your sake. Through him you have come to trust in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are set on God. Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart. You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and en- during word of God. Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. Assembly Thanks be to God. 6 After a brief silence the Presider stands; all rise as able for the proclamation of the Gospel. gospel acclamation Melchior Vulpius (1570–1615), arr. John L.

Assembly Glory to you, Lord Christ. ow on that same day two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village called Em- Nmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad. Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him.
