Eighth Sunday After Pentecost INSTITUTE OF CHRIST THE KING SOVEREIGN PRIEST St. Mary’s Oratory EIGHTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST Introit: Psalm 47: 10, 11. We have received Thy mercy, O God, in the midst of Thy temple; according to Thy name, O God, so also is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth: Thy right hand is full of justice. Ps. 47: 2. Great is the Lord and exceedingly to be praised, in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Glory be. We have received Thy mercy. Collect: Ever graciously bestow upon us in abundance, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the spirit of thinking and doing what things are right, that we, who cannot exist without Thee, may have the strength to live in conformity with Thee. Through our Lord. Sunday, Comm. of St. Anne: O God, Who didst vouchsafe to confer grace on blessed Anne that she might deserve to be made the mother of the mother of Thine only-begotten Son, mercifully grant that, as July 26, we celebrate her solemnity, we may be assisted with Thee by her patronage. Through the same. 2020 Epistle: Romans 8: 12-17. Brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; for if you live according to the flesh, you shall die, but if by the spirit you mortify the deeds of to the flesh, you shall live. For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear, but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry Abba (Father). For the Spirit Himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we Sunday, are the sons of God; and if sons, heirs, also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ. August 2, Gradual: Psalm 30: 3. Be Thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of refuge, to save 2020 me. Ps. 70: 1. In Thee, O God, have I hoped: O Lord, let me never be confounded. Alleluia, alleluia. Ps. 47: 2. Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised; in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Alleluia. Gospel: St. Luke 16: 1-9. At that time, Jesus spoke to His disciples this parable: There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods; and he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship, for now thou canst be steward no longer. And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able: to beg I am ashamed. I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, DIOCESAN How much dost thou owe my lord? But he said, A hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him, Take APPROVED thy bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty. Then he said to another, And how much dost thou TRADITIONAL owe? Who said, A hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty. And LATIN MASS the lord commended the unjust steward, for as much as he had done wisely; for the children of this APOSTOLATE world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. And I say to you, Make unto you FOR THE friends of the mammon of iniquity, that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting IMPLEMENTA- dwellings. TION OF THE Offertory: Ps. 17: 28, 32. Thou wilt save the humble people, O Lord, and wilt bring down the eyes of the proud; for Who is God but Thee, O Lord? MOTU PROPRIO SUMMORUM Secret: Receive, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the gifts which out of Thine own bounty we bring PONTIFICUM IN to Thee, that these most holy mysteries may, by the operation of the power of Thy grace, both THE DIOCESE sanctify us in the conduct of our present lives and lead us unto everlasting joys. Through our Lord. OF LA CROSSE Comm. of St. Anne: Be appeased, O Lord, we beseech Thee, and look upon the sacrifices here before Thee, that, by the intercession of blessed Anne, who was the mother of Thy Son’s mother, Our Lord Jesus Christ, they may profit both for our devotion and our salvation. Through the same. Communion: Psalm 33: 9. Taste and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in Him. Postcommunion: Let the heavenly mystery be to us, O Lord, the restoration of soul and body, that, as we perform its worship, we may experience its effect. Through our Lord. Comm. of St. Anne: Nourished by Thy heavenly sacraments, we beseech Thee, O Lord, our God, that, by the intercession of blessed Anne, whom Thou didst will to be the mother of Thy Son’s mother, we may be worthy to attain unto everlasting salvation.

    Maria Alexandra Monteiro, MA Independent Scholar/ MSc with thesis medieval and renaissance history, Porto, Portugal I received my BIntRel degree in International Relations at Lusíada University of Porto and a few years later I was accepted at the University of Porto. There, I was able to obtain my MSc with thesis in medieval and renaissance studies (MHMR). My thesis was performed on the biography of Antão Martins de Chaves, bishop of Porto in the late XV century. Under the tutelage of PhD Maria Cristina Almeida e Cunha Alegre, I attended lessons on medieval paleography. My core personal interest is to study biographies from ecclesiastics of note and understand how they influenced the society of their time.

Nevertheless, according to several sources, Pantaleon was born c.AD 275, son of the rich pagan Eustorgius of Nicomedia. His name means “a lion in everything”. Later he would be renamed Pantaleímon (from the Greek) by Saint Hermolaus, meaning “all-compassionate” 1. His mother, Saint Eubula, wished him to be instructed in Christianity, but after her death he was sent by his father to study medicine under the famous physician Euphrosinus, probably in Alexandria2, where students were supposed to follow Hippocratic and Galenic theories. The young man proved to be so proficient at his craft that he came to the attention of the Roman Emperor Galerius (AD 284 – 305)3, who appointed him as royal physician as soon as he finished his studies.

We are very excited that you have chosen to prepare to receive this sacrament! We pray this time of preparation will be a time of spiritual growth as well as a lot of fun. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, “Preparation for confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit…To this end, catechesis [preparation] for Confirmation should strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal Church as well as the parish community.” (CCC 1309) Our goal is to be true to this statement of preparation for Confirmation, as our meetings will not cover everything there is to know about the Catholic Church. Instead it is our goal to build upon what you have been learning from your parents, through involvement with religious education throughout your life, and through the high school ministry here at St.

  • History of the Mount St. Alphonsus Retreat Center
    History of the Mount St. Alphonsus Retreat Center 1001 Broadway (Route 9W) PO Box 219 Esopus, NY 12429-0219 Before the Redemptorists built Mount St. Alphonsus in 1904, the land was owned by Robert Livingston Pell. Said to be the greatest fruit farm in the country, it was known for its apples and grapes, which were shipped to European markets. Pell developed a species of apples, the Newton Pippin, grown in an orchard of more than 25,000 trees. The Pell Coat of Arms included a pelican piercing its own breast to feed its young, an ancient symbol of the Eucharist. The Redemptorist community, still growing at the turn of the century, looked at property in New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania before settling here. In 1903, they paid $57,000 for the property. The Redemptorist order bought a quarrying operation in Port Deposit, MD, to produce the granite, used in this building. Construction of the original building began in 1904 and was finished in 1907. The wing on the south end was added in later years. The property has expanded to the present 412 acres on the Hudson River. Redemptorists used the building as a seminary for the training of priests. After initial formation at St. Mary's in Northeast, PA, for six years, students made a year-long long Novitiate in Ilchester, MD, and then spent six years here at Mount St. Alphonsus. The property contained many buildings in earlier times when cattle, horses, pigs, chickens and crops that included corn, potatoes, apples and grapes were raised. The wine used for Mass was made on the property.

  • Tensions in Renaissance Cities Lavish Courts and Towering
    Tensions in Renaissance Cities Lavish courts and towering cathedrals, entrancing polyphony and artistic masterpieces—our romantic fascination with the cultural glories of the Renaissance often eclipses one truth, recorded by astute observers of the age like Machiavelli, that the era of Michelangelo and Shakespeare was, in many ways, darker than the “Dark Ages” which it named. The crisis had one unexpected cause: progress. In the centuries after the Black Death, regenerating urban centers, strengthened by financial and commercial innovations, linked together to form an increasingly interconnected society. Soon English wool was no longer finished at home, but exported to be woven and dyed in Italy, before shipping out across trade networks which stretched from the Middle East deep into the New World. As Europe’s economic bloodstream strengthened, the same increase in trade and travel which let architects build with exotic stones and scholars recover lost Greek manuscripts also transmitted diseases with unprecedented speed and ferocity, while larger, denser cities were richer breeding grounds for violence and contagions. As wealth and power flowed in, richer states could muster larger armies, innovative weaponry could shed blood on unprecedented scales, and ambitious rising families could hire mercenary forces larger than frail governments could withstand. This exhibit lays out a geography of tensions which characterized Renaissance cities. In a world still plagued by war and banditry, urban growth often meant density rather than sprawl, as swelling populations jockeyed for space within the circumferences of city walls. Crowded and wealthy cities became powder kegs, where old tensions— between men and women, citizens and visitors, Jews and Christians, religious and secular authorities—channeled the energies of new and increasing factional and economic rivalries.

  • Saint Pantaleon
    Saint Pantaleon SAINT OF THE DAY 27-07-2021 Saint Pantaleon is one of the most famous figures to have witnessed to his faith in Christ with his martyrdom during the Great Persecution (303-305). He is the patron saint of midwives and co-patron of doctors together with the famous Cosmas and Damian. He is part of the group of the so-called Anargyros Saints (a term of Greek origin that literally means “without money”), so called for having exercised the medical profession without asking for compensation. Moreover, as a result of a devotion that arose in Germany in the 15th century, his name was included among the 14 Auxiliary Saints, invoked by Christians for special needs (in his case, against infirmities caused by consumption), although their collective worship was suppressed with the 1969 calendar reform. According to the hagiographic tradition, widespread since ancient times in several languages and versions, he was the son of Eustorgius, a rich pagan of Nicomedia. He was educated in the Christian faith by his mother Eubula. After the death of his mother, he began to distance himself from the Church. Under the guidance of the physician Euphrosinus he learned the medical art so well that he entered directly into the service of the emperor Maximinianus or, according to other sources, and more likely, Galerius, who was first designated Caesar (293-305) and then Augustus of the East (305-311). His return to Christianity was thanks to a priest named Hermolaus, who lived in hiding to escape persecution. Hermolaus praised his study of medicine, but convinced him to put Christ first: “My friend, what good are all your acquisitions in this art, since you are ignorant in the science of salvation?”.
