  • Matins of Great and Holy Saturday (Friday Night)
    Matins of Great and Holy Saturday (Friday Night) The priest, vested in a dark epitrachelion, opens the curtain, takes the censer, and begins: Priest: Blessed is our God always, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Reader: Amen. Glory to Thee, O God; glory to Thee! While the following prayers are being read, the priest censes the altar, the sanctuary, and the people. Reader: O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings, and Giver of Life, come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One. Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us! (3) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Priest: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

In contrast, the earliest followers of Christ honored the sev- enth-day Sabbath and continued meeting on that day, according to the New Testament. To explain this discrepancy, the following arguments are com- monly used: •The Sabbath was given to Jewish people, not to Christians •Jesus resurrected on Sunday, therefore the Sabbath was changed •The early church changed Sabbath to Sunday as the gospel went to Gentiles What is the truth about this matter, and how can we find it? John Laux, an author of textbooks for Catholic schools, wrote: “If we consulted the Bible only, we should still have to keep holy the Sabbath Day, that is, Saturday, with the Jews, instead of Sun- day…” (Laux, p 51).

A large proportion of the cost that will be needed to fund this will be generated by the new Apprenticeship Levy, which was announced in the Autumn 2015 Statement and Came into play on 6th April 2017. In a nutshell The Apprenticeship Levy is a charge payable to the government at a fixed 0.5% of an employer’s total UK wage bill. It is applicable to all employers across all sectors BUT, as each employer is given a £15,000 allowance, in effect it means that only companies with a wage bill of over £3 million per year will have to pay. The levy will be paid monthly through your PAYE alongside your tax and NI. It is based on your total employee earnings and does not include other payments, such as benefits in kind. The levy came into effect on 6th April 2017 with the first payment date included in the May 2017 pay run.

  • Why Can Catholics Go to Church on Saturday Night and It Counts As Going on Sunday?
    Why can Catholics go to church on Saturday night and it counts as going on Sunday? We reflect on the events of Good Friday and remember that scripture tells us that they had to hurry to place Jesus in the tomb because: “It was the day of preparation, and the Sabbath was about to begin.” (Luke 23:54) The Jewish Sabbath began at sunset of the prior evening. In Leviticus we read that God told Moses: “[Y]ou shall keep this Sabbath of yours from evening to evening.” (Lev. 23:32) At that time in history, evening was considered the beginning of a new day. Without a clock, there was no clear way to establish the occurrence of midnight, but the appearance of stars was very evident, and could be recognized by all the people. Some of this tradition has carried over to our celebration of the Lord’s Day. We start celebrating Sunday on Saturday evening but also continue on through Sunday evening. In the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours, or Christian Prayer, there is normally a set of prayer for the morning and evening of each day of the week. But on Sunday there are two evening prayers; we have Evening Prayer I on Saturday and Evening Prayer II on Sunday. The Lord’s Day is certainly a reason for celebration, and we extend it as long as possible. The Catechism of the Catholic Church indicates the acceptability of attending Mass on Saturday evening when it references Canon Law. It states: “The precept of the Church specifies the law of the Lord more precisely: ‘On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass.

  • Uk Tax Quarterly Update - May 2021
    May 24, 2021 UK TAX QUARTERLY UPDATE - MAY 2021 To Our Clients and Friends: Spring 2021 brought two key developments to the UK tax landscape. There was the Budget announcement delivered on 3 March (together with the Finance Bill 2021 published on 11 March), setting out medium-term tax and spending plans as the UK economy emerges from the COVID-19 coronavirus. This was followed by “Tax Day” on 23 March through which more than 30 tax policies and consultations were published with the aim to modernise UK tax administration and policy development. It is perhaps too early to comment on the long-term effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus, however the UK government appears to be alert to the need for both short-term investment incentives to businesses, as well as longer-term increases in taxes to finance a broadening UK budget deficit. With the Chancellor agreeing to hold the Conservative Party’s 2019 “triple tax lock” manifesto pledge not to increase the rates of income tax, national insurance and VAT, it is not surprising then that UK corporation tax was in the spotlight for this year’s Budget. The main rate is set to increase from April 2023 to 25% on profits over £250,000 (whilst the rate for small profits under £50,000 will remain at 19%, with relief for businesses with profits under £250,000 so that they pay less than the main rate). Interestingly, the threshold rate of tax for meeting the excluded territories exemption under the UK’s controlled foreign company rules would rise from 14.25% to 18.75%.
