Connecting the Dots: Outlining the Big Picture of the Church Year

One of the Chinese characters for thinking is made up of the character for “field” over the character for “heart/mind”, and since green is the color associated with Ordinary Time, I’ve come to think of that period of time as a growing season. You might ask, “What are we growing?” Well, the church year is structured in such a way that helps us figure that out. Epiphany is the season of light, of realizations. The light of Christ reveals important truths about Jesus and about ourselves. Given what we have seen and heard in these months, the goal is to enter Lent with new practices

or habits we want to adopt that help clear the weeds from our minds. By removing these obstructions, we can better focus on the things and people that are genuinely important to us, or

on the person that God created us to be, instead of on what the world tells us we are or should aspire to be. Having cleared the field, Easter is the season for picking out and sowing seeds. When we are baptized, we die to our old self and we rise to new life in Christ, and Easter is the season for

reflecting on the spiritual gift or the aspect of ourselves we want to give life to, or perhaps resurrecting, now that we have prepared our field for planting. Then Ordinary Time, the season after Pentecost, is the long growing season. We diligently water and fertilize and faithfully do all the seemingly boring and tedious but essential tasks that will enable these newly planted seeds to sprout and grow. After we reap the harvest at the end of one church year, the new gospel we begin to read during the seasons of Advent and Christmas in the new church year invites us to rest and to anticipate a different emphasis in the coming year. For example, last year the gospel according to

Luke focused on what it means to be Christian in a secular world, and this year, the gospel according to Matthew focuses on we might choose this spiritual path over all others. This is one

way to create a connection, an arc, that strings together the different Sundays and different seasons so the liturgy and lessons and sermons and music each Sunday helps give a sense of where

we are and where we are going. Music

As we begin our Lenten progression towards the drama of Holy Week and Easter our liturgy and music changes character dramatically, from the bright and festal nature of Epiphany into that of deep solemnity and profound introspection. Each Sunday in Lent we will hear choral works by several of our greatest composers set to texts reflecting the Psalms and readings of the day, inviting us to ponder these readings and our own journey of faith through Lent. During the

Preludes and Postludes, the Organists will traverse a selection of J. S. Bach’s most monumental and serious later works We will begin each service with the Pentitential Order and ending with a Kyrie eleison. As a bookend to the Advent Prose with which we ended each service during that reflective season we will end each service with a verse of the Lenten Prose Attende Domine: Hear us and forgive us, O Lord. Over the five Sundays in Lent our liturgy and music lead us to the great drama of Holy Week and onto the joyful return of our Alleluias. This morning we hear two of J. S. Bach’s most important chorale settings. We also hear two of the most important British composers who, although separated by three centuries nevertheless write music of similarly expressive nature.

__________________________________________________________________________________________ PRELUDE O Man, bewail thy grievous sins Johann Sebastian Bach

Please stand as the procession enters Officiant

Dear People of God: The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord's passion and resurrection, and it became the custom of the Church to prepare for them by a

season of penitence and fasting. This season of Lent provided a time in which converts to the faith were prepared for Holy Baptism. It was also a time when those who, because of notorious sins, had been separated from the body of the faithful were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness, and restored to the fellowship of the Church. Thereby, the whole congregation was put in mind of the message of pardon and absolution set forth in the Gospel of our Savior, and of the need which all Christians continually have to renew their repentance and faith.

I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by

self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word.

FIRST READING Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7

A Reading from the Book of Genesis

The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it. And

the Lord God commanded the man, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.” Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, nor shall you touch it, or you shall die.’“ But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not die; for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves. The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

SECOND READING Romans 5:12-19

A Reading from the Second Letter of Paul to the Romans

As sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, and so death spread to all because all have sinned-- sin was indeed in the world before the law, but sin is not reckoned when there is no law. Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man's trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. If, because of the one man's trespass, death exercised dominion through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. Therefore just as one man's trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man's act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. For just as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Please stand

GOSPEL Matthew 4:1-11

The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written,

‘One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written,

‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written,

‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’”

Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him. The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

SERMON Dr. Ian Fielding Ministry Coordinator & Verger THE NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven:

by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.

On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,

and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.

With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead,

This table does not belong to any denomination, church, or community. It belongs to Jesus. It was at table that he met people, heard their stories, and shared his. It was at table that he deepened his friendship with poor folk and prostitutes, the business class and puzzled bystanders. It was at table that he shared profound insights into who God is and what God wants.

And it was at table, with bread and wine, that he initiated the sacrament we now celebrate.

So come to this table. Leave behind any baggage of arrogance or unworthiness. Do not think, “This is not for me.” Think rather of Jesus saying, “I am for you” and accept his invitation to be the friend he cherishes and longs to feed.

The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give God thanks and praise.

God of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of glory and praise. Glory to you for ever and ever.

At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home.

By your will they were created and have their being.

From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessed us with memory, reason, and skill. You made us the rulers of creation. But we turned against you, and betrayed your trust; and we turned against one another.

Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight.

Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets and sages you revealed your righteous Law. And in the fullness of time you sent your only Son, born of a woman, to fulfill your Law, to open for us the way of freedom and peace.

By his blood, he reconciled us. By his wounds, we are healed.

And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly chorus, with prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all those in every generation who have looked to you in hope, to proclaim with them your glory, in their unending hymn:

Remembering now his work of redemption, and offering to you this sacrifice of thanksgiving, We celebrate his death and resurrection, as we await the day of his coming.

Lord God of our Fathers: God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us. Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for renewal. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve the world in his name.

Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of the Bread.

Accept these prayers and praises, Father, through Jesus Christ our great High Priest, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, your Church gives honor, glory, and worship,

from generation to generation. Amen.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, 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.

As we begin our Lenten progression towards the drama of Holy Week and Easter our music changes character, from the bright and festal nature of Epiphany into that of deep solemnity and profound introspection. Each Sunday in Lent we will hear choral works by some of our greatest composers, the Organists will traverse a selection of J. S. Bach’s most monumental and serious later works, we will begin each service with a Kyrie eleison, and end each service with a verse of the Lenten Prose Attende Domine: Hear us and forgive us, O Lord. This morning we hear two of J. S. Bach’s most important chorale settings. We also hear two of the most important British composers who, although separated by three centuries nevertheless write music of similarly expressive nature.

J. S. Bach’s floridly ornamented prelude on the somber Lenten chorale O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross (O man, bewail thy grievous sin) is from the Orgelbüchlein, a collection of chorales written for the various seasons of the church year. The volume of music was one of only a few works actually published during Bach’s lifetime. The melody is placed in the upper voice and, although complete, is nearly obscured by the ornamentation and coloratura written around it. The work is serious and elegant, painting the text in an imaginative style. The closing harmonies are strikingly dissonant and suddenly out of character with previous material as Bach musically portrays Christ’s death on the cross in atonement for sin.

William Byrd (1543-1623) and his mentor Thomas Tallis were the greatest of the Tudor composers. A Gentleman of The Chapel Royal, Organist for a long period at Lincoln Cathedral, he was a master of counterpoint and text painting. Byrd's life is remarkable when we consider the religious and musical climate of his day. He remained a staunch Catholic in a militantly Protestant country, and it was only the favour of Queen Elizabeth I which kept him from execution for his recusancy. We hear two works in differing styles today. Emendebus in melius, a motet for five voices, is a powerful work, declaiming the text in rich harmonies, and most surprisingly, filled with great silences. "It does not often happen with Byrd...that a piece breathes such immediacy;...its amazing resolution (is) doubly powerful and doubly solid because in the few bars infinite power seems held in reserve." (Kerman, 1963) Herbert Howells (1892-1983) remains the most individual and remarkable composer of 20th century Anglican music. His music is marked by a unique harmonic language, brilliant text-painting, a strong element of drama, an orchestral sense of accompaniment and a clear affinity towards the choir and setting for which his various works are composed. Indeed, he found that his greatest inspiration for his sacred choral music came from the

magnificent architecture and acoustics of the churches and cathedrals for which he was composing. The various pieces written for King's College, Cambridge (Collegium Regale) form an important part of the Anglican repertoire. Howells composed a Communion Service, Evening Canticles, a Jubilate Deo and a Te Deum, all of which share the same key phrases and harmonies. Inspired by the sound of the choir in King's unique acoustics, Howells wrote music inspiring awe and tremendous devotion.

Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental Clavierübung, Dritter Teil, (Keyboard Practice, Third Part) contains large and small works written in the form of a Lutheran organ mass: a Prelude and Fugue frame chorales which correspond to the various parts of the service, Kyrie, Gloria, Creed, etc., as sung in 18th century Lutheran liturgical practice. Each of

4 WAYS TO OBSERVE A HOLY LENT

1) Participate in one of the Lenten small groups sharing conversation on the theme of lament. To find a group and sign up, contact Jessica Figueroa in the church office: jessica@saintc.org, 312.944.1083. 2) Commit to a rhythm of daily prayer and Bible reading through the ancient monastic practice of the Daily Office. It just takes fifteen minutes. You can join your St. Chrysostom's community in one of the chapels at 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM on weekdays or use your laptop or iPhone wherever you

are: www.dailyoffice.wordpress.com.

3) Attend the Saturday workshop on the spiritual practice of walking the labyrinth: to sign up contact Jessica Figueroa in the church office.

4) Give yourself the gift of sacred music. Below is Director of Music Richard Hoskins' description of the musical trajectory in Lent:

MUSIC IN LENT

As we begin our Lenten progression towards the drama of Holy Week and Easter our liturgy and music changes character dramatically, from the bright and festal nature of Epiphany into that of deep

solemnity and profound introspection. Each Sunday in Lent we will hear choral works by several of our greatest composers set to texts reflecting the Psalms and readings of the day, inviting us to ponder these readings and our own journey of faith through Lent. During the Preludes and Postludes, the Organists will traverse a selection of J. S. Bach’s most monumental and serious later works. We will begin each service with the Pentitential Order and ending with a Kyrie eleison. As a bookend to the Advent Prose with which we ended each service during that reflective season we will end each service with a verse of the Lenten Prose, Attende Domine: "Hear us and forgive us, O Lord." Over the five Sundays in Lent our liturgy and music lead us to the great drama of Holy Week and onto the joyful return of our Alleluias.

For more information regarding Lent please visit our website: https://www.saintc.org/worship/lent-and-holy-week-services

EASTER FLOWERS

The tradition of decorating the church with festive spring flowers is one that delights all ages. Our decorations are funded totally by individual donations. From parishioners and friends. We welcome donations in any amount! This is a great opportunity to honor the memory of departed loved ones, or to celebrate special people and/or occasions of family and friends.

Use the convenient “Flowers” envelope in the pew or contact the parish office with your information. Donations will be taken until April 6th.

DONATIONS & VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

St Chrys Kitchen: On behalf of the St. Chrys’ Kitchen Ministry, I would like to thank everyone who worked with our group in 2019 in any capacity and also those who contributed financially. Although most of the work takes place the third Tuesday of the month, there is meal planning, grocery shopping, occasional pre-day prep work in the kitchen, and special holipre-days projects between the meal dates. We also send

invitations out every month. On the day of the meal there is cooking, set up for both the meal and the area our guests shop for donated items from. We need personnel for sign in, multiple serving, and the

“shopping” areas. Finally, there is clean up in the kitchen and clean up and tear down In the Harding Room and gym. Volunteers from the parish, Latin School and wider community do that work month in and

month out. As I’ve said before, it is not glamorous work, but it is rewarding in many ways. The appreciation from our guests gratifies the soul and gives us tangible proof that the glory of God works through all of us. Contact Liz Kohlbeck at elizabethkohlbeck@ yahoo.com for details if you think you’d like to be involved.

Jail Ministry: A team under the sponsorship of St. Chrysostom’s conducts worship in the Cook County Department of Corrections (CCDOC) once quarterly on the fourth Saturday of the month. Our visits have been joyful and encouraging for members of the team, as we have been met with real warmth, gratitude, and powerful and empowering faith. If you are interested in learning more about this ministry, please contact our Parish Office at 312.944.1083 or visit the website at https://www.saintc.org/serving/city/. Saint Leonard’s Ministries: St. Leonard’s and Grace House are residential facilities supported by our Episcopal Diocese, assisting former prisoners as they reintegrate into society. Every month, an 8 to 12-member group from St Chrysostom's meets with their residents to celebrate birthdays and applaud their accomplishments. Recognition Thursday is held on the last Thursday of each month from 12:30pm to 1:30pm at St Leonard's Ministries in the Michael Barlow Center 2120 West Warren Boulevard. For further information, see slministries.org. To join this outreach ministry or learn more, contact John Craib-Cox at 312-593-6183 or visit the website at https://www.saintc.org/serving/city/.

Help Communities Impacted by Recent Disasters: Your donation to Episcopal Relief & Development will provide immediate and long-term support to communities affected by the earthquakes in Puerto Rico, bushfires in Australia, earthquakes/volcanic eruptions in the Philippines and other disasters. Your gift enables us to respond to emergencies around the world — including the recent disasters in Puerto Rico, Australia and the Philippines. With your help, our partners on the ground can provide life-saving supplies and resources such as food, water, medicine, shelter and counseling. You’ll also help with the long-term efforts needed to rebuild and heal.
