CATECHISM CORNER: Read after Mass – William Cowper THE MASS is a real sacrifice, made by Jesus, as real and actual as the sacrifice of His Life unto death on Calvary. How? Why? Both on Calvary in His suffering Body and on the altar in His Sacramental Body, Jesus is ever offering, ever offered as Priest and Victim before His Eternal Father. On Calvary Jesus suffered a physical death when His Blood was drained from His Body. In the Mass there are two separate consecrations; one for His Body, the other for His Blood. These words of consecration are like a sword, which of themselves would actually separate His Blood from Most Holy Trinity, we adore Thee His Body. However, in point of fact Jesus is and through Mary we implore Thee. The design gives the three sowers entirely present, Body and Blood, Soul and Give unto all mankind unity in the faith Divinity under each appearance of bread and and courage faithfully to confess it. featured in the liturgy of (An indulgence of 300 days; Raccolta No. 30) Sexagesima Sunday: Noe, with his wine.

    DIPLOMARBEIT Titel der Diplomarbeit Placid Podipara´s Reflection on the Church “St. Thomas Christians are Indian in Culture” Verfasser Lijo Joseph angestrebter akademischer Grad Magister der Theologie (Mag. theol.) Wien, 2015 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 011 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Diplomstudium Katholische Fachtheologie Betreuer: Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Rudolf Prokschi 2 Dedicated to all the members of the Syro-Malabar Church 3 4 Acknowledgements This is a master’s degree thesis investigate on Placid Podipara’s reflection on the Church “St. Thomas Christians are Indian in culture”. It is a humble attempt to know how Fr. Placid Podipara understood the birth and spread of Christianity through the preaching of St. Thomas the Apostle. With the passage of time, Christian religion rooted well, adapting itself to the customs and practices of the place. There was no attempt on the part of Christians to remain aloof from a given society or tried to remain a separate entity. The Church has accepted, absorbed, and assimilated itself to the good elements of Indian culture. With deep sense of gratitude, I acknowledge the valuable contribution of some important persons who helped me to complete this task. I am thankful to my bishop, Mar Mathew Arackal, Bishop of Kanjirappally, India, who sent me to Austria to do my theological studies in the University of Vienna. Gratefully I acknowledge the role of Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr. Rudolf Prokschi for his valuable suggestions, corrections, and guidance. I thank Fr. Stephan Mararikulam MSFS, Fr. Joy Plathottathil SVD, Stefan Jahns, Dr. Daniel Galadza, and Michaela Zachs for the correction of the language and suggestions.

  • Calendar of the Christian Year
    T H E C A L E N D A R o f t h e C H R I S T I A N Y E A R A N I N T R O D U C T I O N The Christian Year consists of two cycles of holy days. The first is the Paschal Cycle, which follows the lunar calendar and identifies the first Sunday after the full moon that falls on or after March 21 as Easter Day. (Easter Day cannot occur before March 22 or after April 25.) The season of Lent precedes Eastertide and the Season after Pentecost follows it. The second cycle, the Incarnation Cycle, follows the solar calendar and places our Lord’s birth on December 25 (Christmas Day) with the season of Advent preceding it. The season of Epiphany follows the twelve days of the Christmas season (Christmastide.) S U N D A Y S The sequence of the Sundays of the Calendar depends on the date of Easter, because every Sunday is a celebration of our Lord’s resurrection from the dead. Nevertheless, Sundays also reflect the character of the seasons in which they are set. Following ancient Jewish tradition, the celebration of any Sunday begins at sundown on the Saturday that precedes it. Therefore at Evening Prayer on Saturdays (other than Holy Days), the Collect appointed for the ensuing Sunday is used. 687 | THE CALENDAR OF THE CHRISTIAN YEAR P R I N C I P A L F E A S T S Easter Day Christmas Day December 25 Ascension Day The Epiphany January 6 The Day of Pentecost All Saints’ Day November 1 Trinity Sunday These feasts take precedence over any other day or observance.
