  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • June 2021 E-Newsletter
    This month marks the beginning of summer in Minnesota. June 20 is the summer solstice, when our planet is tilted so that the Sun shines on its northernmost point on Earth, the imaginary line known as the Tropic of Cancer, about 23° latitude north of the equator. We have longer hours of daylight than on any other day of the year. It is as if the northern hemisphere of the Earth has turned its face toward the Sun, welcoming its warmth and shining light. Certain plants and flowers also have a rhythm of turning toward the Sun, a phenomenon known as heliotropism. In the morning, young sunflowers are turned toward the east, anticipating the sunrise. Throughout the day, they follow the path the Sun traces in the sky, continually re-orienting and turning themselves toward the Sun’s shining light and warmth until sunset in the west. By constantly following the Sun, the young sunflower collects more energy for growing. If the Earth and even flowers turn toward the Sun, to whom do we turn? Saint Field of sunflowers facing the sun Benedict encourages us to open our eyes to the light that comes from God (Rule of Benedict, Prologue: 9). Imagine for a moment how you feel when you stand in a sunbeam, soaking in the warmth. “Look toward God and be radiant” (Paraphrase of Psalm 34:5). Benedictines strive to live the promise of conversatio, which is a constant turning of our hearts away from ourselves and towards God. This promise is our seeking to remain within God’s light in all that we say and do, and in all our being.

  • St. Josaphat Basilica, Milwaukee, WI, P. 2-4. CAP at Orchard Lake
    St. Josaphat Basilica, Milwaukee, WI, p. 2-4. CAP at Orchard Lake. St. Josaphat Basilica, officially designated a landmark of the city of Milwaukee, is an imposing, richly ornamented Neo-Renaissance edifice. Erected between the years of 1896 and 1901, it reflects the genius of its architect-contractor, Erhard Brielmaier. The original plans for the parish church called for a brick structure trimmed with terra cotta. While these plans were in progress, the pastor of St. Josaphat Parish, the Reverend William Grutza, learned that the old Federal Building in Chicago was to be razed and that salvaged ma- terials were up for sale. Aware of the considerable savings to be realized were such salvaged materials to be used in the construction of the new church, Father Grutza arranged for their purchase for the sum of $20,000.00. This included stone for the exterior walls, polished granite columns for the front portico, massive doors, hardware, bronze railings and light fixtures, which were transported on 500 flat cars from Chicago to Milwaukee. Inspected, measured, sorted and numbered, all these materials eventually found their place in the new fabric. The challenge thrust upon the architect, however, was immense. Mr. Brielmaier was forced to scrap his plans for the original edifice and design a church to be built entirely from the available salvaged materials. The degree of his success is measured even to this day by the Basilica as it stands, a monument to his genius. The large dome of the Basilica, a facsimile of Rome's St. Peter Basilica, was constructed with a steel framework, an architectural first in our country.

Benedict and Scholastica were born around 480 to a Roman noble family in Nursia, Italy. Our Lady of Lourdes Scholastica seems to have devoted herself to God from her earliest youth, as the account of Established –1875 Benedict’s life by Pope Gregory the Great mentions that his sister was “dedicated from her 534 N. Wood Street infancy to Our Lord.” Gibson City, IL 60936 The twins’ mother died at their birth. When Benedict was old enough he left home to study in Rome leaving Scholastica with her father to tend the Nursian estate. In time, Benedict left Mass Schedule his studies to live first as a hermit, and then as the head of a community of monks in Italy.

  • The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion
    The Life of Saint Paul of the Cross Founder of the Congregation of the Cross and Passion 1694-1775 Volume 2 – 1741-1775 Father Louis Therese of Jesus Agonizing, C.P. 1873 Fr. Simon Woods, C.P. (Translated from the third French Edition) 1959 (INDEX TO VOLUME TWO ON FINAL PAGES) CHAPTER TWENTY MISSIONS TO THE SOLDIERS AND INHABITANTS OF ORBETELLO, PORTERCOLE AND PORTO LONGONE 1741 - 1742 There is a similarity between a Religious Order and an immortal soul. Each has its own special grace that prepares it for that work that Almighty God wills it to accomplish. Now that the Congregation of the Passion has its official mandate from the Holy See “to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified,” we can examine what is this grace, what is its efficacy, and what will be the fruits it will reap. Soon, we will see Paul of the Cross take his flight from his aery on the heights of Monte Argentario, and spread the wings of an apostle. It is almost meridian of this fiery sun whose flame will enkindle the world. Paul is forty-seven years of age - the age of maturity, of vitality, the age that produces more thorough and more lasting results than the age of youth. Moreover, he was, by an extraordinary grace, endowed with a rich disposition which never withers with age nor fades with time, but ripens to a richer and more fruitful maturity. He will carry the fire of his zeal undimmed, even to his very last years, and more often than in the preceding pages we will relate one miracle after another.

Our Wfirst of many moments like this take us past what has been while waiting for what will be. As the bright sizzle of summer eases and her colors fade into something cooler and comfortable, we embrace autumn like an old friend. Our time as Benedictines these days ride the pace of the world and all she offers, like the lights of our new monastery in the courtyard cloister, the illumined names of our benefactors on the Forward in Faith donor wall. The entrance foyer is beautifully aglow in the monastic tradition of the stained glass windows of our former chapel. Our life is adorned anew and graceful, like spiritual teachers offering lessons in changing seasons. These delightful things take note of us and us of them as they educate us with her every moment. We live now in a new time, a new space, with new hope. As we walk to the sacred time of Advent and the God gifted time of Christ by Mary’s fiat, where will our own ‘yes’ take us? These give us a chance to start fresh, to forgive, and to be forgiven. Our God knows we need the changes of every season and how vital autumn is to us as we wane down, rest, and recover from the season we just lived through. Take the spiritual course of this shadowed time, the dusk about her, that shows us how to be okay with a less than quickened pace.
