The Liturgy of the Word
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than
we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which
our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through
the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
The Lessons All are seated. Meditative silence follows the readings.
Reading: Lamentations 1:1-6

People
How lonely sits the city that once was full of people! How like a widow she has become, she that was great
among the nations! She that was a princess among the provinces has become a vassal. She weeps bitterly in
the night, with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her; all her friends have
dealt treacherously with her, they have become her enemies. Judah has gone into exile with suffering and
hard servitude; she lives now among the nations, and finds no resting place; her pursuers have all overtaken
her in the midst of her distress. The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to the festivals; all her gates are
desolate, her priests groan; her young girls grieve, and her lot is bitter. Her foes have become the masters, her
enemies prosper, because the Lord has made her suffer for the multitude of her transgressions; her children
have gone away, captives before the foe. From daughter Zion has departed all her majesty. Her princes have
become like stags that find no pasture; they fled without strength before the pursuer.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

By the waters of Babylon we sat down and | wept, *
when we remembered | you, O Zion.
As for our harps, we hung them | up *
on the trees in the | midst of that land.
For those who led us away captive asked us for a song, and our oppressors called for | mirth: *
“Sing us one of the | songs of Zion.”
How shall we sing the | Lord’s song *
up|on an alien soil?
If I forget you, O Jer|usalem, *
let my right | hand forget its skill.
Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I do not re|member you, *
if I do not set Jerusalem a|bove my highest joy.
Remember the day of Jerusalem, O Lord, against the people of | Edom, *
who said, “Down with it! down with it! | even to the ground!”
O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to de|struction, *
happy the one who pays you back for what | you have done to us!
Happy shall he be who takes your | little ones, *
and dashes | them against the rock!

The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Luke.
Glory to you, Lord Christ.
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard
seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. Who
among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come
here at once and take your place at the table’? Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put
on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink’? Do you thank the slave for
doing what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are
worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!’”
The Gospel of the Lord.

The Way begins this Wednesday, October 9
Wednesdays, 6-8 p.m.
The first sessions run October 9 through November 13.
A special Advent meal takes place December 4.
The Way is for you if ...
• You would like to understand what it means to follow Christ.
• You would like to be part of a community and deepen your faith.
• You are new to the Cathedral, desire baptism or would like to grow
in your journey of faith.
• You would like to know about being Christian in the Anglican/
Episcopal tradition.
• You have been around church for a long time and would like to
renew your faith journey.
• You are ready to ask questions and explore the rich life of God’s
grace and love.
The Way is a process for faith formation, or catechumenate, at
Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral. Community and sharing is at the
center of The Way. Each evening begins with a simple meal and table
conversation, followed by Bible study, learning and group discussion. Links are made between daily life and work and the worship
and practice of the church. Emphasis is given to understanding what
it means to live into one’s baptismal promises. Sessions conclude
with quiet reflection and prayer. Persons participating in The Way
may prepare for baptism or affirmation of faith at the Great Vigil of
Easter, April 19, 2014.

Let’s put names with faces. We have chosen to partner with Lifetouch
for professional photography that will connect our members and tell
our story. Our photography dates are: November 22, 23, 25, 26 and
December 18, 20, 21. More details about sign up coming soon.
Bake? Find peace in ironing?
Help is needed for two of our special ministries. The Bread Guild and
the Altar Guild’s Linen Zen are seeking volunteers.
• Do you bake bread? Would you like to? The Bread Guild is looking
for a few bakers to fill out our roster in the preparation of Eucharistic Bread. We will give you a recipe or you can use your own.
• The Altar Guild is seeking help with Eucharistic and Fair Linens.
If doing laundry and ironing is a meditative experience for you
then this is a ministry for you. Linen Zen is taking care of these
very special linens on a rotation with others who appreciate the
significance of these items.
Please contact Janet Sweeting in the Cathedral office at ext. 144 or
jsweeting@kccathedral.org. If you would like to volunteer or want
more information on either of these ministries.
