  • 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.

  • Teachers' Notes – 'Michael Landy: Saints Alive'
    Michael Landy as St Jerome, 2012. © Michael Landy, courtesy of the Thomas Dane Gallery, London. Photo: The National Gallery, London. London. Photo: The National Gallery, courtesy of the Thomas Dane Gallery, 2012. © Michael Landy, Michael Landy as St Jerome, MICHAEL LANDY SAINTS ALIVE An introduction for teachers and students SAINTS ALIVE This exhibition consists of seven kinetic sculptures that are operated by visitors. The sculptures represent figures and stories of popular saints taken from the history of art. They are made from cast representations of details taken from National Gallery paintings, which have been combined with assemblages of recycled machinery, broken children’s toys and other unwanted junk. In the foyer to the exhibition, a selection of related drawings and collages is displayed. The collages are made from fragments cut out from reproductions of paintings in the collection. THE ROOTSTEIN HOPKINS ASSOCIATE ARTIST SCHEME The National Gallery is a historical collection that ends with work by Cézanne and the Post-Impressionists. At the time of the Gallery’s foundation in 1824, one of the stated aims was that it should provide a resource from which contemporary artists could learn and gain inspiration. Taking its cue from this idea, the Associate Artist Scheme began in 1989 with the appointment of Paula Rego. The essential requirement for the Associate Artist is that he or she makes new work by engaging with, and responding to the collection or some aspect of the collection. The artist is given a studio in the Gallery for a period of around two years. Michael Landy is the ninth artist to be invited to undertake this project.

  • Retable of Saint Lucy Master of Riglos 15 Maio – 08 September 2019
    RETABLE OF SAINT LUCY MASTER OF RIGLOS 15 MAIO – 08 SEPTEMBER 2019 IN THE BOOK Embaixadas de Portugal, pub- lished in 2006 (Lisbon: Polígono Editores), men- tion was made of the existence at the Portuguese Embassy in Spain (at the former palace of the Dukes of Hijar in Paseo de la Castellana, Madrid) of four fifteenth-century paintings described as being Catalan and attributed, in the book, to Luis Borrassá, the painter from Girona who had set- tled in Barcelona in around 1383, the city where he was to die in 1425. The paintings, depicting scenes from the life of St. Lucy, cannot, however, be attributed to that remarkable Catalan painter, as they date from a slightly later period (the mid- fifteenth century) and clearly belong instead to the Aragonese school. They were talked about, for the first time, in Volume VIII of the monumental A History of Spanish Painting by Chandler Rathfon Post, published in 1941 by Harvard University Press. Post describes two altarpieces that he had seen in Paris, in the collection of the famous antique dealers the Bacri brothers – one dedicated to Master of Riglos St. Blaise and the other to St. Lucy. The two altar- Aragon, middle of the 15th century pieces were similar in their structure: the main St. Lucy gives his goods to the poor c. 1450 figure of the saint was placed in a large central Tempera and gold on pine panel panel, with six narrative panels at the sides, a representation of Christ at the top, and a predella displaying five scenes from the Passion of Christ.

  • Feast of Saint Lucy Feast of Saint Lucy: December 13
    Seasoning the Seasons™ The Institute for Christian Formation, Inc. logo©2004 by R Fulwiler Text©2006 by Sandra A. Chakeres. All rights reserved. Feast of Saint Lucy Feast of Saint Lucy: December 13 Early in the morning on December 13th, especially in Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, it is common for the oldest daughter in the family to wear a white gown and red sash, with a wreath of candles on her head, and serve coffee and Lussekatter (saffron buns) to the household. It’s the Feast Day of Santa Lucia, or Saint Lucy! Saint Lucy lived in Syracuse on the island of Sicily, which is off the southern coast of Italy. Around the year 304, she was mar- tyred (put to death for witnessing to her faith) at a very young age during a time when the Emperor Diocletian was persecuting Chris- tians. Still today, we hear Saint Lucy’s name mentioned in Eucharistic Prayer I. But few details are known of her actual life. One legend says that during the persecution, Lucy’s eyes were plucked out. That is why you will sometimes see statues or holy cards with Saint Lucy holding out a platter with eyeballs on it! (See this depicted on the next page.) The Gospel for the Feast of Saint Lucy is Matthew 25:1-13 (The Parable of the Ten Virgins). In this parable, the five wise virgins went out to meet the Lord with their lamps lighted. Perhaps the five candles in the wreath on Lucy’s head, as she is de- picted on this page, represent those five faithful virgins! Saint Lucy is the Patron Saint of those who are blind or suffer from eye diseases, as well as the island of Sicily.

He studied and received a master's degree in chemistry at the University of Buenos Aires, but later decided to become a Jesuit priest and studied at the Jesuit seminary of Villa Devoto. He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires. Between 1964 and 1965 he was a teacher of literature and psychology at Inmaculada High School in the province of Santa Fe, and in 1966 he taught the same courses at the prestigious Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. In 1967, he returned to his theological studies and was ordained a priest on December 13, 1969. After his perpetual profession as a Jesuit in 1973, he became master of novices at the Seminary of Villa Barilari in San Miguel. Later that same year, he was elected superior of the Jesuit province of Argentina and Uruguay. In 1980, he returned to San Miguel as a teacher at the Jesuit school, a job rarely taken by a former provincial superior.

    The Benedictine TraditionLives ______________________Z______________________ …in the hearts and through the good works of the Sisters, their benefactors, alumni, oblates, friends, and relatives. Annual Report and Annual Appeal 2011 Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh Annual Appeal 2011 Dear Friends and Partners of St. Benedict: Last year about this same time, I wrote to you about how our world is constantly changing, that no matter what our calling, all of us are often challenged to adapt our perspectives and expand our horizons so as to remain vibrant and strong. And never has this been truer for the Benedictine Sisters of Pittsburgh than it is today! To be the best stewards of our resources and to better meet the needs of the people we serve and the Sisters, we have put our property up for sale and we are making plans to build a smaller, greener monastery. Adaptability is built into our monastic tradition. St. Benedict knew that the spiritual tradition he started more than 1500 years ago had to be kept alive with the Gospel spirit. Consequently, the heart of the mission he established is always growing to encompass new things. So we go forward in faith, committed to remaining vibrant and strong by building a new and more efficient home from which our ministries will flow and grow. I invite you to join us in our work today and for the exciting work ahead. With your partnership, we know we can do whatever is necessary to continue our mission of seeking God in community, prayer and ministry. Men, women and children in need are counting on us, and we in turn, are counting on you.

  • The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
    The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph FROM ADVENT TO THE CHRISTMAS SEASON MASS INTENTIONS Our Advent waiting has come to an end, and we have joyfully celebrated Sunday, December 29: The Holy Family of Christmas. There was Mass on Christmas Eve with the depiction of the Jesus, Mary & Joseph 8:45 am STA Gospel in the Christmas Pageant. There were parties and family gatherings Adoph Canelo † with fabulous meals. Our plates have overflowed with wonderful rich Readings: Sirach 3:2-7, 12-14; Psalm 128:1-2, 3, holiday food we only enjoy at this time of year. Christmas morning came, 4-5; Colossians 3:12-21 and the celebration continued. Presents were opened followed by more or Colossians 3:12-17; feasting. These two days we anticipate for so long go by very quickly. A few Matthew 2:13-15, 19-23 short hours, and then it is gone. We awake the next morning to find bargains Monday, December 30 galore and the encouragement to come back to the stores and shop ‘til we Readings: 1 John 2:12-17; Psalm 96:7-8a, drop, exchanging that gift that wasn’t quite right, and buying all the things 8b-9, 10; Luke 2:36-40 we really wanted but didn’t get. Shelves in the stores are bare; decorations Tuesday, December 31 look worn and tired. In a few short days they will be gone, and our world 12:15 pm STA . .James & Edith Dubbs will have moved on. Readings: 1 John 2:18-21; Psalm 96:1-2, 11-12, 13; John 1:1-18 But the church will continue to be resplendent in the colors of Christmas for three more weeks.
