  • 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.

  • Things Bright and Beautiful
    Dear Pastors and Worship Leaders, We hope you will find plenty of resources to aid in the discipleship of your congregation. Below you will find scripture references, quotes, reflections and more to help inspire your teaching. Scripture References: All links are to the New Revised Standard Version During the month of October, the Revised Common Lectionary provides us with an opportunity to explore the significant differences between creation care and creation worship. For the Sunday of October 12, the story of Aaron and the golden calf in Exodus 32: 1-14 reminds us that worshiping anyone or anything other than the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is idolatry. With that distinction in mind, we are nonetheless called to celebrate God’s creation and honor the role we’ve been given as stewards of it. The celebration of St. Francis of Assisi on October 4 reminds us of this calling to care for God’s creatures and to celebrate the bounty of God’s goodness to us, manifested in the essential goodness of creation. Genesis 1 “And God saw that it was good” Genesis 1 is the Biblical source for Cecil F. Alexander’s 1848 hymn, All Things Bright and Beautiful. Bible’s teaching on protecting God and nature Hymn: All Things Bright and Beautiful Reflection: The Christmas Animals By Pastor Glenn Pease Luke 2:1-20 In His birth our Lord Jesus identified with the animal kingdom. He was born in a stable meant for the shelter of animals. He was laid in a manger meant for the feeding of animals.

  • July 3, 2020 Doubting Thomas: John 20:24-29 Diane Mccormack, IHM
    July 3, 2020 Doubting Thomas: John 20:24-29 Diane McCormack, IHM There are biblical precursors to Thomas the Doubter and we’ll spend a few minutes looking at them. Abraham: When God told Abraham that he and Sarah would bear a child he fell on his face and laughed because he was 100 years old and Sarah was 90. Sarah: She too laughed and when God asked Abraham why she laughed he reminded Abraham that nothing was too hard for the Lord. Sarah lied and denied that she laughed – undoubtedly because she thought it absurd that at her age she’d become a mother David: In Psalm 13:1-2, David asked God “Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Job: God rebuked Job for questioning God’s presence with him. There is a lengthy litany of Job’s wailings and complaints but, in the end, Job tells God that in the past he heard about God but now he saw God and he repented in dust and ashes Moses: When God called Moses to bring his people out of Egypt, Moses doubted himself. He told God that the people would never believe him; they wouldn’t do what he would tell them to do; that he was not a good speaker; that he had a speech impediment; and after each of Moses’ excuses, God assured and reassured him that he would be with Moses and even then, Moses told God to send someone else! Then God got angry and told Moses he’d send his brother Aaron, who was a good speaker, to be his spokesman.

    ST. ANASTASIA CATHOLIC CHURCH 7390 WEST MANCHESTER AVE. LOS ANGELES, CA 90045 310.670.2243 ◆ ST-ANASTASIA.ORG ◆ PLEASE CONTINUE SEARCHING FOR NEW AND ENCOURAGING STORIES SHARED THROUGH VERY RELIABLE WEBSITES AS: ANGELUS, ARCHDIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES, ETC. THEIR ARTICLES ARE FULL OF VERACITY AND HOPE! Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Parables, Anyone? When Jesus answers the apostles' question about why he speaks in parables, it may seem as if He is using them to confuse people. We know He is trying to spread the Good News of God's kingdom. So He talks to the crowds in parables, easily understood stories that usually have a moral or that end with a question for the hearers. He uses these stories to teach the crowd. Jesus threw out parables like a farmer sowing seeds. Some of them fell on the ears of those who would be disciples. But most fell on the ears of people not ready to understand. So how do we receive His Word? Do we hear it without understan - ding, letting it go in one ear and out the other? Do we hear it joyfully, but then forget it when troubles or difficulties come along? Do we listen to the word but ignore it in the face of some later temptation? If we want the word to grow strong in us, we can take steps to help ourselves understand it. We can come to Church early and spend a few minutes with the readings before Mass. After Mass we can talk about the readings or the homily with our family over breakfast.

  • Saint Kateri Tekakwitha (Kuh-TARE-Ee Tek-A-QUEETH-A) Keep This Story for the Next 3 Weeks to Complete the Activities in This Fun Pack!
    Saint Kateri Tekakwitha (Kuh-TARE-ee Tek-a-QUEETH-a) Keep this story for the next 3 weeks to complete the activities in this fun pack! Saint Kateri Tekakwitha was born in 1656 in Ossernenon (today Auriesville, New York). Her father was a Mohawk Chief. Her parents died from smallpox, and Kateri herself caught smallpox but survived. The smallpox left her almost blind and with scars all over her face. She was raised by her aunt and uncle after her parents passed away. When she was 10 years old, Kateri’s village was visited by missionaries who introduced her to Christianity. Kateri was baptized when she was 20 years old. Some of Mohawks in her village opposed her conversion, so she left her tribe and went to St. Francis Xavior Mission, a Christian Mohawk village in Kahnawake, Quebec. A year after her baptism, Kateri received her First Communion on Christmas Day in 1677. She spent her life in prayer, teaching children, and caring for the elderly and sick. She was also known for living a life of chastity. On April 17, 1680, just before her 24th birthday, Kateri died from tuberculosis and was buried at St. Francis Xavier Mission. Her last words were: “Jesos Konoronkwa” (Jesus I love you). Right after her death, it is said that Kateri’s smallpox scars disappeared from her face and she radiated with beauty. Kateri Tekakwitha was beatified by Pope John Paul II on June 22, 1980 and canonized as a saint on October 21, 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI. Her Feast day is July 14.

  • The Story of MOTHER Teresa of Calcutta (Died Sept
    sacred story the story of MOTHER Teresa of Calcutta (died sept. 5, 1997) LESSON NOTES FOCUS: Mother TERESA OF CALCUTTA CARED FOR THE SICK AND POOR FOR GOD. THE MATERIAL ● LOCATION: THE MYSTERY OF PENTECOST SHELF, THIRD SHELF, BESIDE ST. AUGUSTINE ● PIECES: mother teresa of calcutta booklet, A SARI LIKE SHE WORE (WHITE WITH BLUE TRIM) WITH A CROSS PINNED TO IT, A BOWL & CLOTH, A WOODEN PLAqUE WITH THE IMAGE OF A DOVE AND THE WORD “PEACE.” ● UNDERLAY: GREEN FELT BACKGROUND Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born of Albanian parents in Skopje in 1910 When she entered the Loreto convent in Ireland she took the name Teresa from Theresa of Lisieux at the age of 18. The nuns sent her to their convent in India where she took her final vows in 1937. In 1948 she left the convent to serve the poorest people in Calcutta. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. The nuns who continue her work are known as the Sisters of Charity. Teresa was beatified by the Roman Catholic Church in 2003, but has not yet been canonized, so she has no day of remembrance. NOTES ON THE MATERIAL Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s story sits on a small, shallow tray about 8" square, with sides about 2" deep. It has a groove in the front to slide the booklet in so the chil- dren can see it when they approach the Mystery of Pentecost shelf. The booklet is 4.25" x 5.5". The cover has an image of Teresa on it that matches the figure used in the introductory lessons on the communion of saints.
