The Liturgy of the Word Collect of the Day

Presider The Lord be with you.People And also with you. Presider Let us pray.

O Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of your people who call upon you, and grant that they may know and understand what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to accomplish them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever

People Amen.

The Lessons All are seated. Meditative silence follows the readings. Reading: Genesis 25:19-34

Lector These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean. Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived. The children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is to be this way, why do I live?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger.” When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb. The first came out red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they named him Esau. Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. When the

page 3

boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. Isaac loved Esau, because he was fond of game; but Rebekah loved Jacob. Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished!” (Therefore he was called Edom.) Jacob said, “First sell me your birthright.” Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23Presider The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Matthew.People Glory to you, Lord Christ.Presider Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. Such great crowds gathered around him that he got into

a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: “Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Let anyone with ears listen! Hear then the parable of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately re-ceives it with joy; yet such a person has no root, but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecu-tion arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”

“Lift up your hearts” blue The Hymnal 1982, hymn S120

Presider We praise you and we bless you, holy and gracious God, source of life abundant. From before time you made ready the creation. Your Spirit moved over the deep and brought all things into being: sun, moon, and stars; earth, winds, and waters; and every living thing.You made us in your image, and taught us to walk in your ways. But we rebelled against you, and wandered far away; and yet, as a mother cares for her children, you would not forget us. Time and again you called us to live in the fullness of your love.And so this day we join with Saints and Angels in the chorus of praise that rings through eternity, lifting our voices to magnify you as we sing:

Presider Glory and honor and praise to you, holy and living God.To deliver us from the power of sin and death and to reveal the riches of your grace,you looked with favor upon Mary, your willing servant,that she might conceive and bear a son, Jesus the holy child of God.Living among us, Jesus loved us.He broke bread with outcasts and sinners, healed the sick, and proclaimed good news to the poor.He yearned to draw all the world to himself yet we were heedless of his call to walk in love.Then, the time came for him to complete upon the cross the sacrifice of his life, and to be glorified by you.

On the night before he died for us, Jesus was at table with his friends.He took bread, gave thanks to you, broke it, and gave it to them, and said:“Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”As supper was ending, Jesus took the cup of wine.Again, he gave thanks to you, gave it to them, and said:“Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”Now gathered at your table, O God of all creation, and remembering Christ, crucified and risen,who was and is and is to come, we offer to you our gifts of bread and wine,and ourselves, a living sacrifice.

page 6

Pour out your Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Body and Blood of Christ.Breathe your Spirit over the whole earth and make us your new creation, the Body of Christ given for the world you have made.In the fullness of time bring us, with all your saints,from every tribe and language and people and nation,to feast at the banquet prepared from the foundation of the world.Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ,in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise,for ever and ever.

People Amen.

Help Provide Meal for MissionPaloozaTuesday, July 22 • 5-7:30 p.m.MissionPalooza is a week-long opportunity for youth from the Dio-ceses of West Missouri and Kansas in grades 8-12 to put their faith into action by volunteering at organizations such as the Kansas City Community Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity, Wayside Waifs, and sev-eral other community organizations. The Cathedral’s “Taco Salad” night has become a favorite of all involved in MissionPalooza. This year we have been asked to provide the meal on Tuesday, July 22. We need volunteers that evening (5-7:30 p.m.) at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (40th and Main, KCMO) to help set up and serve the meal. We also need cash donations to purchase the food for the meal. If you can help with either your time or your treasure, please contact Curtis Hamilton at 816-529-5260 or cdhamilton@gmail.com.

Stewardship at Half-TimeThank you to those who have made a pledge in the past week! We encourage those not yet making a pledge to do so. Please prayerfully consider how you can help today. Pledge cards are in the pews and at the welcome table (or pledge online at kccathedral.org/steward-ship). An appeal has also been sent to households not yet making an annual pledge.

We’re now on the way toward meeting our goal of $75,000 in order to fully fund ministry for 2014. We need your support to

have funds to ministry priorities identified by the congregation: calling a Priest Associate to gather the young adult community and hiring a Parish

Life Coordinator to increase involvement of volunteers and to grow ministries.
