Can we imagine a world like Sandra Friedl, Frances Funtek, Sam Gappa, Robert Gielski, that? We live in a world that counsels us to “fight back” John Gladden, Rose Marie Hewitt, Ron Hicks, Celeste Hurley, instead. To be pushed around is weakness. Revenge is Marian Jarabek, Colleen Jarvis, Millie Jasany, Janet Johnson, not only considered right, it’s pursued with glee. But Pat Jones, Michael Kaliszewski, Betty Kilbane, Donald Kotarsky, Cynthia Kufleitner, Karen Kulju, Andrea Lagzdins, the God Jesus describes for us today in our Gospel is Robert Laheta, Dorothy Laquatra, Isidoro LaRosa, John Lieske, great-hearted and merciful. One who goes far beyond Michael Lieske, Corinne Lipinski, Elizabeth Madar, Thomas just the minimum required by law. Of course Jesus’ Madej, John Martin, Edward & Josephine Maskulka, Emmett statements, especially “Love your enemies and pray for & Lenore Masterson, Claudia & Russell Mazanec, Peyton those who persecute you,” are meant to provoke in us McCarthy, Rosemarie Medvin, Helen Marie Mendyka, John an imagine of God who is beyond anything we have Metzger, Theodore & Dorothy Nagy, Jane Najlepszy, Mary ever known. Jesus preaches a vison of a new world, not Niec, Rose Nosse, Dora Oney, Agnes Padar, Timothy Petro, Carrie Piechowski, Deanna Pisano, John Precario, Mary Jane just an improvement on the old one. Jesus shows us Precario, Christopher Reeves, Leigh-Ann Revay, Vinny Ruvo, what God’s reign of peace and justice will be like. Frances Rymut, Mary Sabo, Lorraine Schmidt, Robert & These shocking examples that overturn the normal Teresa Setele, Margaret Sheridan, Joe Skerl, Helen Smith, order of life reflect the character of God. Not everyone Doug Stos, Sylvia Stibley, Jack Taylor, Phyllis Tomaselli, though is happy to learn that this is how God is. Are Shirley Trausch, Alice Tucker, Loretta Vacca, Annie you? Vorndran, Cathy Yappel, Andrew Yaronczyk, Christopher Yurko, Amanda Hope Zmecek. 1 SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME FEBRUARY 19, 2017 CELEBRATING THE SAINTS Saint Gregory of Narek, Doctor of the Church (951-1003) ST.

Relatively few large-scale works for mixed choir were produced Tunder this influence, however, either prior to or after the Russian Revolution. The music of the Orthodox Church was supposed to function within the liturgical context, and thus was not to become too extensive or dominating. It was not until 1864 that it was possible to give public church-music concerts in Moscow, and the Imperial Chapel had to approve of any church-music compositions. There are only a few notable works known outside of Russia, including Tchaikovsky’s Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and Rachmaninov’s All-Night Vigil, a cappella works of great length and grandeur. During the communist rule, very little church music was com- posed, as the Soviet régime was adamantly atheist in a most repressive fashion as early as during Lenin’s reign.
