  • 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.

  • H E I L I G E 12 Apostel
    H e i l i g e 12 Apostel: Simon Petrus 1.) Heiliger, Apostel, Märtyrer † am 29. Juni 67 Beschützer u. Patron der Stadt u. des Bistums von Rom nach Chr. Gebürtig aus Bethsaida am See Genezareth in Galiläa als Sohn des Jona. Märtyrertod Er lebte später als Fischer mit seiner Frau u. seinen Eltern in Kafarnaum. Von Jesus erhielt er den Beinamen: Kephas ↔ Petrus ↔ der Fels. Jesus sagte: „Du bist Simon, Jonas Sohn; du sollst Kephas (der Fels) heißen“ (Joh. 1,42). Kephas ↔ Petrus ↔ der Fels (hebräisch: Kefas, griech. Petrus). Im Mätthäus-Evangelium sagt Jesus: „Du bist Petrus, auf diesen Felsen will ich meine Kirche bauen, und die Pforten der Hölle sollen sie nicht überwältigen“ (Mt. 16, 18-19). - Jesus „der Auferstandene“ fragte Petrus am See Gennesaret dreimal: „Simon, Sohn des Jona, liebst du mich mehr als diesen?“ Petrus antwortete dreimal: „Ja, Herr“ und dreimal erwiderte Jesus: „Weide meine Schafe“ (Joh. 21, 1-17). Die dreimalige Wiederholung vor Zeugen entsprach orientalischem Brauch, formell ein Recht auf eine Person zu übertragen. Jesus hatte dem Recht entsprechend seine Nachfolge, den Primat der geistlichen Führung der Christenheit auf Petrus übertragen, zu seinem Nachfolger seiner Kirche, dem Fundament des Papsttums, berufen.- Simon Petrus war Wortführer der Apostel. Im Verlauf seiner Missionsreisen traf Petrus 42 n. Chr. in Rom ein, nahm Wohnung im Judenviertel und wohnte von 43-51 im Haus des Senators Pudens. (Der Legende zufolge gaben die Töchter des Senators, Praxedis u. Pudentiana, in Rom zwei frühchristlichen Kirchen ihren Namen. Ihre Gräber wurden in der Priscilla-Katakombe identifiziert). Von Rom aus führte Petrus die entstehende Kirche, er konsekrierte erste Bischöfe u.

  • BLESSED MARIA GABRIELLA SAGHEDDU: a Life for Unity and Her Ecumenical Heritage
    BLESSED MARIA GABRIELLA SAGHEDDU: A Life for Unity and her Ecumenical Heritage 1- “In the simplicity of my heart I gladly offer you everything, O Lord.” Maria Sagheddu was born in Dorgali, Sardinia on March 17, 1914. She bore personally the traits characteristic of her land: she was obstinate, impetuous, rebellious and strong willed. To those who after her death sought testimony on her life, her family and acquaintances described her as an indomitable child little inclined towards religious practices. But one perceived in Maria a fundamental holiness: at school she displayed an avidity for learning and knowledge. Intelligent, generous and cheerful, she was absolutely free of malice. At the age of seven Maria had a dream where she saw herself in the Church in Dorgali before the picture of the Holy Family, which came to life. Jesus stretched out his arms to her, while Mary watched and smiled. Maria’s reaction was to flee the church crying, “No! I am a sinner.”1 This realism towards herself, clear and without half-measures, marked an adherence to the truth that would become a protecting shield. From her youth to her death, Maria’s striking quality was an extraneousness to falsehood in all its aspects, including ambiguity, hypocrisy, and self- justification. In 1932 came the death of her sixteen year old younger sister Giovanna Antonia, to whom she was deeply attached. From biographical information we know that a change occurred in the life of Maria, that this was a turning point. Towards the age of eighteen she changed decisively and stood out for her spirit of prayer.

  • Bienheureuse Maria Gabriella Sagheddu
    Collectanea Cisterciensia 80 (2018) 42-60 Gabriella MASTURZO ocso Bienheureuse Maria Gabriella Sagheddu UNE VIE POUR L’UNITÉ ET SON HÉRITAGE ŒCUMÉNIQUE 1. Dans la simplicité de mon cœur, je t’offre tout dans la joie, ô Seigneur M aria Sagheddu naît à Dorgali, en Sardaigne, le 17 mars 1914. Elle porte en elle les traits de sa terre : obstinée, vive, rebelle et vo- lontaire. À ceux qui, après sa mort, chercheront des témoignages sur sa vie, sa maman, ses frères, ses amies et ses enseignants décriront une petite fille indomptable et peu portée aux pratiques religieuses. Mais on perçoit chez Maria une nature fondamentalement saine : à l’école, elle se montre avide d’apprendre, intelligente et généreuse, joyeuse et sans aucune malice. À sept ans, Maria fait un rêve où elle se voit devant le tableau de la Sainte Famille, dans l’église de Dorgali ; à un certain moment, le tableau s’anime et Jésus lui tend les bras, tandis que la Sainte Vierge la regarde et lui sourit. La réaction de Maria est de s’enfuir de l’église en criant : « Non, je suis une pécheresse1. » Cette reconnaissance nette et sans demi-mesure de sa propre réalité marque une adhésion à la vérité, qui va la protéger toujours comme un bouclier. Depuis sa jeunesse jusqu’à sa mort, ce qui frappe en elle, c’est qu’elle est étrangère au mensonge sous tous ses aspects : ambiguïté, hypocrisie, autojustification. En 1932, sa plus jeune sœur, Giovanna Antonia, à laquelle elle est profondément attachée, meurt à dix-sept ans. Par les informations biographiques, nous savons que, dans la vie de Maria, qui avait alors dix-huit ans, se produisit alors un changement, un tournant décisif.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.

    Catholic Culture Update for the week beginning June 3, 2018 A quote to ponder this week “I will take the cup of salvation.” Psalm 116:13a June 3rd, 2018 is the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ > Practice of Faith > “For the Jews of Jesus’ day, the temple was where divine and human mingled. Pilgrims came from desert lands to worship and take joy in the Temple’s cool courtyards. Jesus would later be recognized as a walking Temple, an individual in whom divine and human met, and who offers refuge. Today, God and humans meet in humble service, love, and especially the celebration of the Eucharist. <>Read more about the meaning of Eucharist in Pope Francis’ Laudato Si, paragraph 236 http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.html. <>Take the family to church for adoration of Jesus in the Eucharist. <>Meditate on these lines from a homily of St. John Chrysostom: “How many of you say: I wish I could see Christ’s form and figure, his clothing, his shoes! Indeed! You do see him; you even touch him; you even eat him. And you want to see his clothes?! Really!
