Sunday, January 3, 2021 PARISH MISSION STATEMENT: The very heart of St. Matthew the Apostle Catholic Church is Jesus Christ present on the altar. Our mission, born at that altar, is to be sent forth into our neighborhood in order to build up the Kingdom of God. The labor of this effort must address in deed more than in word the needs of our people. St. Matthew Parish has resumed public Masses. Our Guidelines follow the Archdiocesan protocol. Weekday Masses have returned to the Parish Office / Rectory. The Archbishop’s dispensation for attending Sunday Mass and Holy Days remains. We enter up the handicap ramp between the Church and the Parish Office / Rectory. Our temperature is taken and masks must be worn. Then each person will be directed to a place to sit. Masks remain on throughout the service. There are no processions in the Church. Directions are given for receiving communion and on how to exit the Church. The Parish Office / Rectory / Family Center are not open for meetings and social gatherings are prohibited. These Guidelines help us remain well in mind, body and spirit. All are welcome to return using the established guidelines and protocols. January 3, 2021 Spirit has filled him with grace so that he The Epiphany of the Lord can speak about Jesus Christ.

  • Sermon, January 3, 2016 2 Christmas Jeremiah 31:7-14, Psalm 84, Ephesians 1:3-6, 15-19, Matthew 2:1-12 by the Rev. Dr. Kim Mcnamara
    Sermon, January 3, 2016 2 Christmas Jeremiah 31:7-14, Psalm 84, Ephesians 1:3-6, 15-19, Matthew 2:1-12 By The Rev. Dr. Kim McNamara As I was taking down and putting away our Christmas decorations on New Year’s Day, my dear husband, John, teased me just a bit about my ritualistic behavior. In many ways, he is right. Christmas, for me, is guided by traditional rituals and symbols. Because I live a very busy life and work in an academic setting divided up into quarterly cycles, the rituals I have marked on the calendar help me to make sure I do everything I want to do in the short amount of time I have to do it in. Along with the rituals, the symbols serve as mental touchstones for me; focusing my attention, my thoughts, my reflections, my memories, and my prayers, on the many meanings of Christmas. My own Christmas rituals start in Advent with two traditional symbols of Christmas, the advent wreath and the nativity. On my birthday, which is exactly two weeks before Christmas, I buy a Christmas tree. (I am not sure what the symbolism is, but it sure is pretty.) As I grade final exams and projects for my students, I reward myself for getting through piles and hours of grading by taking breaks every now and then to decorate for Christmas. According to my ritual schedule, grades and Christmas decorations have to be completed by December 18. I then have two weeks to savor and reflect upon the wonder, beauty, and love of Christmas.

  • The Neonian Baptistery in Ravenna 359
    Ritual and ReconstructedMeaning: The Neonian Baptisteryin Ravenna Annabel Jane Wharton The pre-modern work of art, which gained authority through its extension in ritual action, could function as a social integrator. This essay investigates the figural decoration of the Orthodox Baptistery in Ravenna, in an effort to explain certain features of the mosaic program. If the initiation ritual is reenacted and the civic centrality of the rite and its executant, the bishop, is restored, the apparent "icon- ographic mistakes" in the mosaics reveal themselves as signs of the mimetic re- sponsiveness of the icon. By acknowledging their unmediated character, it may be possible to re-empower both pre-modern images and our own interpretative strategy. The Neonian (or "Orthodox") Baptistery in Ravenna is the preciated, despite the sizable secondary literature generated most impressive baptistery to survive from the Early Chris- by the monument.

  • Jeremiah 31:7-14 Ephesians 1:3-6,15-19A Matthew 2:13-15,19-23 Or Luke 2:41-52 Or Matthew 2:1-12 P
    The_Second_Sunday_After_Christmas ● Jeremiah 31:7-14 ● Ephesians 1:3-6,15-19a ● Matthew 2:13-15,19-23 ● or Luke 2:41-52 ● or Matthew 2:1-12 ● Psalm 84 or 84:1-8 So do we love our wise men or what? You know, I think I am hard pressed to think of characters in scripture who makes such a brief cameo, but who have inspired more imagination and folklore than our beloved magi. We've given them a starring role in our manger scenes, in our Christmas pageants, and in our creches, including our very own festival of gifts where we placed them right in front alongside the sheep and the shepherds and the manger, even though they were never mentioned in Luke's Nativity story at all. We've turned them into kings, though Matthew never mentions such a title. We've even decided there were only three of them because they gave three types of gifts. We've even given them names. Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar are really cool names. We've spun tales about the different countries they've come from; Persia, India, Babylonia, though Matthew merely says they're from the East. What's more, there are plenty of biblical scholars who would argue that Matthew's account, even after we strip it of all of these myths we've added, is itself very likely apocryphal. In their view, Matthew is an evangelist, not a historian, and he is far less interested in an accurate accounting of the facts than he is in converting skeptical Jews by presenting Jesus as the new Moses.

This dissertation examines his writings on virginity in the interest of illuminating the historical and social contexts of his teachings. Considering Ambrose’s treatises on virginity as literary productions with social, political, and theological functions in Milanese society, I look at the various ways in which the bishop of Milan formulated ascetic discourse in response to the needs and expectations of his audience. Furthermore, I attend to the various discontinuities in Ambrose’s ascetic writings in the hope of illuminating what kinds of ideological work these texts were intended to perform by the bishop within Milanese society and beyond.
