EULOGY Greg Barton LITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING A reading from Paul’s Letter to the Philippians [3.7-11] Yet whatever gains I had, these I have Come to regard as loss beCause of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss beCause of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that Comes from the law, but one that Comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurreCtion and the sharing of his sufferings by beComing like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurreCtion from the dead. For the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

I called to the Lord with loud lamentation: and I was resCued from my enemies. The waves of death enCompassed me: and the floods of chaos overwhelmed me; The cords of the grave tightened about me: and the snares of death lay in my path. In my anguish I called to the Lord: I cried for help to my God. From the temple God heard my voice: and my cry came even to his ears. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. Please stand. GOSPEL The Lord be with you. And also with you. A reading from the Holy Gospel aCCording to John.

Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ She said to him, ‘Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one Coming into the world.’ For the gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

  • R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines
    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines This year in the Religious Education Program we are re-instituting Prayer Requirements for each grade level. Please review the prayers required to be memorized, recited from text, \understood, or experienced for the grade that you are teaching (see p. 1) Each week, please take some class time to work on these prayers so that the R.E. students are able not only to recite the prayers but also to understand what they are saying and/or reading. The Student Sheet (p. 2) will need to be copied for each of your students, the student’s name placed on the sheet, and grid completed for each of the prayers they are expected to know, or understand, or recite from text, or experience. You may wish to assign the Assistant Catechist or High School Assistant to work, individually, with the students in order to assess their progress. We will be communicating these prayer requirements to the parents of your students, and later in the year, each student will take their sheet home for their parents to review their progress. We appreciate your assistance in teaching our youth to know their prayers and to pray often to Jesus… to adore God, to thank God, to ask God’s pardon, to ask God’s help in all things, to pray for all people. Remind your students that God always hears our prayers, but He does not always give us what we ask for because we do not always know what is best for others or ourselves. “Prayer is the desire and attempt to communicate with God.” Remember, no prayer is left unanswered!

  • Indulgences for the Poor Souls
    Indulgences for the Poor Souls November is dedicated to the Holy Souls. From November 1 to November 8, inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to Poor Souls in Purgatory, is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray, even if only mentally, for the departed, provided the usual conditions are met. On November 2, All Souls Day, a plenary indulgence for Poor Souls will be granted to those who visit any parish church or public oratory and there recite one Our Father and one Credo. Only one plenary indulgence may be granted each day. The usual conditions to acquire a plenary indulgence are: 1. detachment from sin; which is a true sorrow for, and repudiation of, all one’s sin, mortal and venial; 2. reception of Holy Communion on the day the indulgence is sought; 3. prayer for the intention of the Holy Father on the day the indulgence is sought (one Our Father and one Hail Mary suffice, or any other suitable prayer); 4. sacramental confession within a week of completion of the prescribed work. If these conditions are not met, the indulgence will be partial. Several plenary indulgences may be granted on the basis of a single sacramental confession, but only one plenary indulgence may be gained on the basis of a single Holy Communion and prayer for the pope’s intentions. Partial indulgences are granted to those who recite Lauds or Vespers of the Office of the Dead, and to those who recite the Eternal Rest Prayer provided below. A partial indulgence may be granted more than once a day.

  • Eternal Rest Give Unto Them, O Lord; and Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon
    REQUIEM – ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED Errors? [email protected] The Requiem Mass pre-dates the Mass of Pius V and represents a simpler, less ornamented form than what we commonly call the "Traditional Latin Mass." Psalm 42 is not present in the Prayers at the Foot. The Gloria and Credo are not said. The Gloria Patri… is not found anywhere in the Mass. The liturgical color is black, because we mourn our loss and pray for the Dead, whose fate is not known to us. Many blessings and Signs of the Cross are absent: for instance, the priest does not sign himself at the Introit; before the Gospel he does not ask for God’s blessing nor after does he request that our sins be erased by the words of the Gospel; there is no blessing of the water (representing humanity) before it is combined in the chalice with the wine (representing divinity); there is no final blessing of the people, etc. What is present is the magnificent Sequence, the Dies Irae, one of the greatest poems in the Latin language, and certainly the greatest poem about man’s need for mercy in the face of final judgment. The Agnus Dei pleads for the Lamb to "grant them eternal rest" rather than "have mercy on us." Similarly, rather than bless us at the end of Mass, the Requiem implores God to "grant them rest." INTROIT 4 Esdras 2: 34-35 Réquiem ætérnam dona eis, Dómine: Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord; et lux perpétua lúceat eis. (Ps. 64: 2, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

  • Faithful Departed
    Commemoration of All Faithful Departed The Solemn Holy Eucharist November 3, 2019 4 pm Washington National Cathedral about today’s commemoration The observance of All Souls’ Day is an extension of the Feast of All Saints’. From very early times, the word “saint” was most associated with persons of heroic sanctity, whose deeds were recalled with gratitude by later generations. By the tenth century, it became customary to set aside another day on which the Church remembered that vast body of the faithful who, though no less members of the company of the redeemed, are unknown in the wider fellowship of the Church. It then became a day for particular remembrance of family members and friends. In keeping with this practice, we will recall by name those who have been a part of the broader Cathedral community who died over this past year. Commemoration of All Faithful Departed Entrance Rite The people remain seated as the choir enters. organ voluntary Prelude, Fugue, and Variation, Op. 18 César Franck (1822-1890) The people stand as able at the procession of the ministers. introit & kyrie Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) Sung in Latin.
