The Fourth Week After Pentecost The Fourth Week after Pentecost TRINITY CHURCH June 14–18, 2021, 12:05pm Broadway at Wall Street New York City Mission In the spirit of the Gospels, the mission of Trinity Church Wall Street is to build generations of faithful leadership, to build up neighborhoods, and to build financial capacity for holy service in New York City and around the world. Our mission is grounded in our core values. Vision We seek to serve and heal the world by building neighborhoods that live gospel truths, generations of faithful leaders, and sustainable communities. Core Values Faith Compassion “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a “When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move had compassion on them and healed their sick.” from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing —Matthew 14:14 will be impossible for you.” —Matthew 17:20 Social Justice Integrity “He has showed you what is good; and what the Lord “Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is requires of you: to do justice, and to love kindness honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, and to walk humbly with your God.” whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is —Micah 6:8 any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” —Philippians 4:8 Stewardship “There will come seven years of great plenty Inclusiveness throughout all the land of Egypt. After them there “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; the famine you are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28 will consume the world.” —Genesis 41:29-30 Core Values guide us in carrying out our mission and realizing our vision. By their nature, core values are touchstones for prayer, discernment, ongoing conversation, and action. We seek a deep understanding and ongoing engagement with Trinity’s Core Values. Over the years, we will continue reflecting on what our Core Values mean in their application; how they challenge and inform decisions and actions in Trinity’s ministries, and how they help our ministries be aligned with our mission and vision. 2 Welcome to Trinity Church Please add your voice and heart to the prayers. Everyone is welcome at Jesus’ Table, and everyone’s voice is needed to tell the Good News of God’s love in Christ.

About this Service The Season after Pentecost Our current liturgical season, the Season after Pentecost, is by far the longest of the Episcopal church year. It begins the day after Pentecost and ends the day before the First Sunday of Advent. Since the date of Easter changes every year—and the Day of Pentecost is always 50 days after Easter—the length of the season varies as well, ranging from 24-29 weeks in length. This season is sometimes called Ordinary Time, a phrase borrowed from the Roman Catholic Church. A common practice among Episcopal churches is to change the appropriate liturgical elements at the start of each new season. Often these changes are directed by the Book of Common Prayer, such as the acclamations named for use in the Lenten and Easter seasons. However, liturgical leaders also decide which Prayers of the People, Eucharistic Prayer, blessing, and dismissal are used in services. You may notice in the Great Thanksgiving a note that reads, “The Celebrant prays the Proper Preface appointed for the day.” A Proper is an order of service containing specific prayers and scripture readings that is designated for use on a particular day of the church year. In the Season after Pentecost, on weekdays which do not commemorate a saint or recognize another observance, the Common Preface is used.

  • 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.

  • THE ETHIOPIAN SYNAXARIUM 677 the TWELVETH MONTH Nehasse
    THE ETHIOPIAN SYNAXARIUM THE TWELVETH MONTH Nehasse 01 (August 07) IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, ONE GOD. AMEN. On this day the blessed Saint Abba ‘Aboli, the son of Justus, became a martyr. To this holy man belonged the kingdom of Rome. When he had fought in the war, and returned to the city of Antioch, he found that Diocletian had denied Christ, and had set up the worship of idols. He was able to destroy Diocletian and to take his kingdom from him, but he meditated upon a heavenly kingdom, which never passeth away; and Diocletian urged him, with many persuasive words, [to worship idols,] but he would not hearken unto him. And after this Justus urged the saint, until Diocletian wrote the order, and sent it to Justus, and his wife Theoklera, and his son ‘Aboli, who is commemorated this day, and he sent them to the country of Egypt, to Herminius, governor of the city of Alexandria, and he said in his letter, “When Justus, and his wife, and his son ‘Aboli arrive, persuade them to offer sacrifice to the gods, and if they will not do so, separate them from each other, and send them each alone into the city.” And that night our Lord Jesus Christ appeared unto Justus and his wife, and his son, and comforted them and encouraged them, and He told them what was going to happen to them, and He promised [to receive] them in His heavenly abode. And when they arrived in the city of Alexandria, and Herminius the governor saw them, he marveled greatly at them, and wondered why they had forsaken their royal position.

  • Saint Eugenia Outside-Inside-Outside Rome: an Iconographic Continuity?
    Trivent Publishing © Trivent (2019) Available online at http://trivent-publishing.eu/ Saint Eugenia Outside-Inside-Outside Rome: An Iconographic Continuity? Andrea-Bianka Znorovszky Austrian Academy of Sciences,Vienna; Universität Salzburg, Institut für Realienkunde des Mittelalters und der Frühe Neuzeit Abstract This essay deals with the iconography of Saint Eugenia demonstrating both the continuity and the development of her visual characteristics as a martyr, with special emphasis on the area of Rome, Italy. Her cult contributed to the promotion and multiplication of her imagery in Rome and northern Italy. Thus, Eugenia’s iconography from Ravenna becomes a starting point for the reconstruction of her early sixth- seventh-century depictions in Rome. This research concludes that although this holy woman belongs to the group of cross-dressed saints, Saint Eugenia is (visually and textually) constructed as a woman due to her positioning into groups of female saints.

  • The Great Vigil of Easter
    MARINA THE MONK MONASTIC, 5th century A Celebration of Word and Communion Wednesday June 17, 2020 Live Stream @ 10:00 am Rite II Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church 1 Saint Mary’s Church Road Abingdon, MD 21009 The Rev Julian R Eibin, Interim Rector Marina, distinguished as Marina the Monk and also known as Pelagia and Mary of Alexandria, was a Christian saint of Byzantine, the area was variously know as Syria & Lebanon. Marina, born Mariam, was the offspring of wealthy Christian parents and is often considered to be a transgender man. Marina's mother died when the saint was very young, and thus Marina was raised in devout Christian life by his father Eugenius. As Marina’s age of marriage drew near, Marina’s father wished to retire to a monastery after he had found his child a husband. When Marina learned of his father's plan, he asked why her father intended to save his own soul "and destroy mine." When asked by her father, "What shall I do with you? You are a woman", Marina answered that he would renounce women's clothing and live as a monk. He then immediately shaved the hair from his own head and changed his clothes to male ones. His father, seeing his child’s strong determination, gave all his possessions to the poor and traveled with Marina to the Kadisha Valley to live in monastic community life, sharing a cell with him under the name Marinos. After ten years Marina’s father died, leaving her alone. Marina continued to conceal the fact that he was born a woman.
