The Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection: It is a pledged commitment to make a gift over time. Your pledge can be made payable in installments. Each pledge makes a difference because all parishes participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our archdiocese to deliver needed ministries and services to answer the call of Jesus to “Come, follow me … and bring hope to the world.” If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it back. This year, we also encourage our parishioners to make their Annual Catholic Appeal gifts online or via text message: annualcatholicappeal.com or text the word “ACA2021” to 345345.

    December 15, 3019 National Presbyterian Church “Fully Satisfied” Luke 2:25-40 David A. Renwick 25Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. 26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. 27Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law, 28Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying, 29‘Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace, according to your word; 30for my eyes have seen your salvation, 31which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, 32a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.’ 33And the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. 34Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed 35so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed —and a sword will pierce your own soul too.’ 36There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage, 37then as a widow to the age of eighty-four.

We believe that we are called to worship God together, to lead God's people along the path of hope laid down by Jesus, to share his message through preaching, through the education and formation of our people, young and old, and through caring ser- vice and sensitive outreach to those in need Rev. Tony P. LaTorre, Pastor PRESENTATION OF THE LORD At first this celebration may seem rather strange and out of sequence. We have long since taken down the Christmas decorations and put away the crèches. Indeed, two Sundays of Ordinary Time have passed during which the adult Jesus has been baptized, begun his public ministry and called his first disciples. This is where knowledge of Jewish custom and history helps us understand this momentary shift out of Ordinary Time and back to a feast. The Gospel, says, When the days were completed for their purification according to the law of Moses, Mary and Jo- seph took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. Mosaic Law set this time of purification as 40 days after the birth of a male child – and today is 40 days, inclusive, after Christmas.

  • Women with Jesus at the Cross and the Tomb Bible Study
    Women with Jesus at the Cross and the Tomb Bible Study [Please provide : musical accompaniment; Bibles, hymnals, and copies of the Bible study for attendees.] Beginning with Ash Wednesday and for 40 days following, we are in the period of the church year called Lent. It is a time to remember the suffering, death, and burial in preparation for the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As we approach and journey through Lent, let us focus on the women who were present when Jesus was crucified on Calvary and later at His tomb. Let us begin with prayer : Lord Jesus Christ, be with us as we study Your Word, meditating upon those women who were near You at the cross and the tomb. In Your holy name. Amen. Sing “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” LSB 425 or 426, TLH 175, LW 114 or 115 I. Standing Near the Cross – read John 19:25-27 • Four women are mentioned: o Mary, the mother of Jesus o His mother’s sister – tradition holds this is Salome, mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee o Mary, the wife of Clopas – the only time she or Clopas are mentioned o Mary Magdalene The women took a risk by being present at the cross. It took courage for them to stand there in the midst of the hatred and ridicule. Their attendance was intended to encourage Jesus. Jesus’ mother, Mary, is experiencing what Simeon had predicted years before in Luke 2:35. As she stood there, her grief must have been nearly unbelievable.

  • The Oracles of Simeon – Luke 2:28-35
    The Oracles of Simeon Luke 2:28-35 By William C. Nicholas, Jr. Term Paper BI 513 -- The Synoptic Gospels Professor: Fr. Mike Walsh, C.M. May 1993 1993, 1999, 2016 William C. Nicholas, Jr. All Rights Reserved The Oracles of Simeon, 1 of 12 Bill Nicholas BI 513 -- The Synoptic Gospels Fr. Mike Walsh, C.M. May 17, 1993 Exegesis: The Oracles of Simeon (Luke 2:28-35) The specific story on which I am concentrating this exegesis concern the Oracles of Simeon, during the event of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, found in the second chapter of the Gospel of Luke. The two specific passages on which I will focus this exegesis will be Luke 2:29-32 and Luke 2:34-35. I will discuss the Canticle of Simeon and its relation to the Prophecy of Simeon. I will discuss their place in the scene of Christ’s Presentation in the Temple, and how the two passages fit into the overall scheme of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. The setting of the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple of Jerusalem contains two oracles: The Canticle and the Prophecy of Simeon. A compilation of the translations presented by Joseph Fitzmyer (pp. 418, 428-430), Raymond Brown (439-441) and Luke T. Johnson (55-56) -- who present the closest English translations of the original Greek text -- states the Oracles of Simeon as follows: (Luke 2:28-32) “Simeon received him into his bent arms, and praised God, saying: ‘Now you are dismissing (releasing) your servant (slave), Lord (Mighty Master) in peace, according to your promise.

  • Simeon's Prophecy Reverend Kristie W. Finley Luke 2: 22-40 First Presbyterian Church 1 Sunday After Christmas Day Lake Forest
    Simeon’s Prophecy Reverend Kristie W. Finley Luke 2: 22-40 First Presbyterian Church 1st Sunday after Christmas Day Lake Forest, Illinois Simeon’s prophecy reveals how Jesus is God’s agent to do the work of revelation and salvation-bringing, and he also predicts the sacrifice that this will require, as well as the pain of sacrifice that even Mary, Jesus’ mother will feel. Anna validates Simeon’s recognition of Jesus as God’s Sent One. God chose to be embodied in humanity in order to bring salvation to us. In this dedication of Jesus both his divinity and his humanity are revealed as he goes through the same ritual of dedication that any other Jewish male child would have done. The story of Jesus presentation and his mother Mary’s purification in the Temple was very important to Luke because it highlights that Jesus was a Jewish male, and that his family followed the laws and traditions that had been set down in the Torah. Let us listen to the word of God in Luke 2:22-40 22When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord23 (as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord”), 24and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.” 25Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him.

  • Jesus Was Dedicated BIBLE PASSAGE: Luke 2 STORY POINT: Simeon and Anna Worshiped Jesus As the Messiah
    Unit 19 • Session 4 -- Jesus Was Dedicated BIBLE PASSAGE: Luke 2 STORY POINT: Simeon and Anna worshiped Jesus as the Messiah. BIG PICTURE QUESTION: Is Jesus God or a human? As the Son of God, Jesus is both fully God and fully human. Tell the Bible story (10 minutes) Open your Bible to Luke 2. Use the Bible storytelling tips on the Bible story page to help you tell the story, or show the Bible story video “Jesus Was Dedicated.” Leader • Jesus was still a small baby when Mary and Joseph took Him to Jerusalem. You see, God’s law in the Old Testament said that every firstborn male was to be dedicated to the Lord. [Choose a volunteer to read aloud Ex. 13:2,12.] Mary and Joseph wanted to obey God’s law, so they took Jesus to the temple to be dedicated. Simeon was already at the temple. How did Simeon know Jesus would be there? Look at Luke 2:26-27. [Allow kids to read the verses and respond.] The Holy Spirit led Simeon to the temple. Simeon had been waiting for God to keep His promise to rescue His people from sin. In fact, God had revealed to Simeon that Simeon would see the Messiah in his lifetime. That day had finally come! Simeon took Jesus in his arms and praised God. Who else was in the temple that day? Look at Luke 2:36. [Allow kids to read the verse and respond.] Anna had spent most of her life in the temple—serving God, fasting, and praying.

  • St. Thomas the Apostle in Scripture, Visions and Apocrypha
    9/23/18 ST. THOMAS THE APOSTLE IN SCRIPTURE, VISIONS, AND APOCRYPHA By Hurd Baruch Our Parish’s worship space is replete with images of our patron saint, St. Thomas the Apostle. Enter the courtyard, and you are greeted by a gilded statue of him holding a carpenter’s square. Above the Tabernacle in the chapel there is a stained glass window with his two iconographic symbols—the square and a spear. If you leave the church by the door to the East, you face a large metal plaque in bas- relief showing him standing, spear in one hand and square in the other, with the outline of two hands and two feet—with a large hole in each—beside him running vertically. And if you exit through the main door in the narthex, above you is a large, stained-glass lunette window depicting the most famous episode in his life—his first encounter with the risen Christ. We probably never think how the carpenter’s square and the spear came to be associated with him—they are not to be found in Scripture—nor consider how much we really know about him, and whether there are sources of knowledge we have not tapped. This paper lays out all that is known or has been conjectured about him, from Scripture, visions and many apocryphal writings from the early centuries. I . The Facts—From the New Testament The most important fact about Thomas is the one embodied in the title ‘Apostle,’ for he was one of the Twelve chosen by Jesus—not merely to serve him in his earthly ministry, but for all time, for he told the Twelve: “Amen, I say to you that you who have followed me, in the new age, when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Mt 19: 28) During Jesus’ earthly ministry, he had repeatedly set those men apart from the other disciples, for example to share with him the Last Supper.

  • Luke's Gospel and Simeon's Song Luke 2:25-35
    Luke’s Gospel and Simeon’s Song Luke 2:25-35 Broadcast Dates: March 20 and 23, 2020 Steve DeWitt We begin our Journey with Jesus today. I hope you have your Journey journals ready. We are also working on an online forum which would be an online discussion of the series and the readings to let you share what you are learning and how God is working in your life. So stay tuned for that. Today as we launch, we are going to cover some introductory material and then spend the rest of our time on the song Simeon sang over the Christ child. Last weekend was a holiday and many people were gone. Our teaching last week was entitled Prequel. Jesus shows up here in Luke 1 as the Christ-child but he was prominent in the Old Testament as well. He will tell the two disciples on the road to Emmaus at the end of Luke that actually the whole Old Testament centered on Him. We asked last week, how? The unveiling of the second person of the trinity begins with a plural personal pronoun in Genesis 1, moves to a Satan head-crusher in Genesis 3, and goes from there to the Son of David, Messiah, High Priest, and all the rest. It would be very helpful to your summer with Jesus to listen to that message if you missed it. That was the prequel; now we get into the essence of it. Bethel, are you ready? Introduction to the Gospel of Luke The reason we need the background of the letter is the same reason you need the background of any letter you read.
