Both text and tune are the fruit of 19th- century efforts to reclaim Christian treasures from pre- Reformation sources. In the presence of a holy HE EVEREND LIZABETH OOLIN God, we become aware of CALL TO CONFESSION T R E D the ways we fall short of God’s best hopes for us, and PRAYER OF CONFESSION the ways we have hurt others. We turn to God in O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. Break into our lives especially prayer, asking for forgiveness. where we have not believed in your promises, nor labored for your peace. O Lord, in your mercy, Forgive us, we pray. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. Shine through the clouds of despair, and compel us to turn back to serve you with joy and gladness. O Lord, in your mercy, Forgive us, we pray. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. Wash away our iniquities and cleanse us from all our sin. When we lead with swords, instead of ploughshares, O Lord, in your mercy, Forgive us, we pray. Amen. Please stand as we sing in ASSURANCE OF PARDON thanksgiving for the gifts of forgiveness and new life. *CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE Passing of the Peace is one of the most ancient responses in worship.

We invite you to color the image in any way you like as we await the birth of the Christ child. Prepare a World by Lauren Wright Pittman Inspired by Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13 | Digital drawing The words of this psalm both soothe my soul and ignite longing in my bones. I felt this same feeling as I watched the funeral of the Honorable Congressman, John Robert Lewis. I couldn’t help but weep listening to stories of his astounding life—about his passion and undying belief in humanity despite being repeatedly ridiculed, beaten, and jailed. It’s the same dissonance I feel when I hold this psalm in sharp contrast to the reality of this broken world. During the funeral, professor and civil rights activist, Rev. James Lawson shared the poem, “I Dream A World” by Langson Hughes 1 to close his remarks about Lewis: “I dream a world where man / No other man will scorn, / Where love will bless the earth / And peace its paths adorn / I dream a world where all / Will know sweet freedom’s way, / Where greed no longer saps the soul / Nor avarice blights our day.

  • Gospel-Centered Counseling Individual and Small Group Discussion Guide
    Gospel-Centered Counseling How Christ Changes Lives Individual and Small Group Discussion Guide Robert W. Kellemen Copyright © 2015 1 How to Use Your Gospel-Centered Counseling Discussion Guide In medicine they tell doctors, “Physicians, heal thyself.” As soul physicians, it is not “Heal thyself,” but, “Go to the great Soul Physician for healing.” We can’t begin to practice gospel-centered counseling, or claim to care like Christ, if we are not going to Christ the Wonderful Counselor. That’s why this discussion guide has questions designed to encourage personal application. It is as we increasingly learn how to apply God’s Word richly and relevantly to our lives that we grow in the ability to help others apply God’s Word robustly to their lives. And we do want to grow in helping others. That’s why this discussion guide also is designed to encourage ministry application. I want to help you to think through how you can make the information in Gospel-Centered Counseling relevant to transformational one- another ministry. As I noted in the introduction to Gospel-Centered Counseling, Romans 15:14 provides an outline of components necessary to be a competent biblical counselor: Christlike Character: “Full of Goodness” Biblical Content: “Complete in Knowledge” Counseling Competence: “Competent to Counsel/Instruct” Christian Community: “Brothers/One Another” This discussion guide seeks to bring all of these components together. If you are using this discussion guide in a small group setting, then the Christian community component can truly come alive. Here’s why: we learn how to become effective biblical counselors by giving and receiving biblical counseling in community.

  • Meem Is for Mercy My Slogan
    Meem is for Mercy My Slogan . My Revolution Jaihoon Meem is for Mercy Collection of Poems by Jaihoon All Rights Reserved © 2012 by Mujeeb Rahman Cover Design Ashar Edition – 2012 To Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi Who convinced me And several other souls- Love does matter these days too Perhaps, the only thing that really does Preface The world has witnessed several revolutions for both sane and insane reasons. Rage and rancour were essential ingredients of these revolts which further fragmented humankind based on sectarian or political isms or economic classes. ‘Meem’ too is a revolution. But for mercy and love. For forgiveness and unity. I pray these verses would be of help in establishing a Nation for Humanity with Compassion as its Capital. My gratitude for all those who cherished and prayed for this book to be a reality. I’m especially thankful to Katherine Schimmel, noted researcher on eastern mysticism and niece of renowned German orientalist Annemarie Schimmel, for her scholarly foreword. Foreword I have come to learn that often times the most unassuming books are the most interesting. For in the end, it is these books that hold greater treasures inside than their loftier counterparts somehow promise. Meem is for Mercy, My Slogan My Revolution is a collection of 29 inspired poems that needed to be born and bound together into this little book. I hope that it receives a wide audience. For, it is through the words of this modern day poet that the reader may again be brought face to face with the essence of dhikr (or ‘remembrance’), the eternal focus and daily practice carried out by the Sufi mystics of yore.

  • "From the Crude Cacophony of Inferno to the Celestial Music of the Spheres
    "From the crude cacophony of Inferno to the celestial music of the spheres in Paradise, music abounds in The Divine Comedy." MUSIC AS MIRROR Dante's Treatment of Music in the Divine Comedy KRI STI N A ASTE A TIME OF GREAT MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT, THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY IS THE PERFECT BACKDROP FOR THE AUDITORY ALLUSIONS OF DANTE ALIGHIERl's DIVINE COMEDY. THIS ARTICLE ARGUES THAT DANTE UTILIZES MUSICAL IMAGERY AS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF HIS ALLEGORY. INFLUENCED BY BOTH CHRISTIAN THINKERS AND PHILOSOPHERS, DANTE LIKELY VIEWED SCHOLASTIC MUSIC AS AN ADJUNCT OF RELIGION. IN THE DIVINE COMEDY, THEREFORE, DANTE PRESENTS AUDITORY ALLUSIONS AS AN INEXTRICABLE FACTOR OF THE PROTAGONIST'S EPIC PI LGRIMAGE THROUGH HELL, PU RG ATORY, AND HEAVEN. THROUGH A PROGRESSION OF ANTI-MUSIC IN INFERNO TO HUMAN CONTEXT IN PURGATORY TO THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES IN PARADISE, THIS ESSAY EXPLORES HOW THE MUSICAL LANGUAGE OF DANTE'S DIVINE COMEDY CONVEYS HUMANITY'S INNATE CONNECTION WITH GOD. From the crude cacophony of Inferno to the celestial music with the lukewarm in Inferno, the song of Casella in of the spheres in Paradise, music abounds in The Divine Purgatory, and the celestial music of the spheres in Comedy. The text contains one hundred and forty-six refer- Paradise. Each specific passage, especially seen in context ences to music: twenty-nine in Inferno, fifty-nine in of the Comedy's other musical references, illustrates Purgatory, and fifty-seven in Paradise. Rich in hymns and Dante's overall thematic thesis of humanity's relationship liturgical songs, including "Regina Coelis", "Gloria", with God.

  • The Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska
    Divine Mercy In my soul Preface The diary of Sister Maria Faustina H. Kowalska is the record of her life experience – the journey of her soul. She was graces by a special communion with God, and the diary expresses her conviction that this communion ought to be the center of our lives. Since the 1940’s the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, St. Stanislaus Kostka Province, have shared this conviction and have undertaken the promulgation of God’s mercy throughout the world, particularly as it has been proclaimed by Sister Faustina. In 1979, convinced of the importance of the diary, the Marians were instrumental in bringing it – in its rough typewritten form – out of Poland. We made the necessary corrections to the manuscript and published a critical Polish edition that has been promulgated throughout the world to Polish speaking people. At the same time, we commissioned a couple in Poland, Adam and Danuta Pasicki, to translate the diary into English. Once they had completed this first, literal translation, we asked Archbishop George Pearce, S.M., to re-translate portions of it in accordance with proper English terminology for the various theological concepts and spiritual experiences referred to throughout the diary. Archbishop Pearce was supported in this second translation by Fahters George Kosicki, C.S.B., Gerald Farrel, M.M., Leo McCauley, S.J, and an Oblate, Francis Baga, O.M.I. When this text was completed, it was given to Father Seraphim Michalenko, M.I.C, who was Director of the Divine Mercy Department from 1979-1986. Together with Sister Sophia Michalenko, C.M.G.T., he carefully reviewed the translation, often referring back to the original Polish to ensure exactness of expression.
