Prepare Ye the Way
Isaiah 40:3-5 · Mark 1:1-8
John the Baptists voice crying in the wilderness — what does it mean for us to hear that voice now? How is the valley of our own hearts to be filled, the mountain of our pride brought low?

A Cloud of Witnesses
Hebrews 12:1 · Revelation 7:9-17
In the great communion of saints, we are not alone. They pray for us, they cheer us on, they hold up the banner of faith from ages past into the age to come.
On the Hospitality of Strangers
Hebrews 13:1-2
"Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
The Light That Cannot Be Hidden
Matthew 17:1-9
On the mountain, for one shining moment, the veil between the seen and the unseen is drawn back. This is what the Churchs liturgy aspires to — a small Transfiguration, every week.
The Long Memory of God
Psalm 105:1-11 · Luke 22:14-23
"Do this in remembrance of me." The Eucharist is the Churchs long memory — a memory that pulls the past forward into the present, and the future back into now.
V. The Sacraments
The holy mysteries are freely offered — to all the baptized.
Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Marriage, Reconciliation, Anointing, Orders — the seven great sacraments of the Church, celebrated at the Cathedral for all who come in faith.
