Pfingsten, Pastor “Extending the Mission and Ministry of the Risen Christ to All People” ALL SAINTS DAY / COMMEMORATION OF THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED November 1, 2020 9:00 AM ABOUT TODAY’S SERVICE Today’s service is the combining of two special days into one. On the calendar of the Christian Church, November 1 is “All Saints Day” and November 2 is the “Commemoration of the Faithful Departed,” each of which can be celebrated on the first Sunday in November. Though slightly different, these two days are similar in that they both lead us to remember those Christians who have gone before us into glory, to thank God for their faithful witness, and to pledge ourselves to continuing their struggle to fight the good fight of faith until we too join the Church Triumphant – the Church in heaven. WE WELCOME you to our service today, we THANK you for worshipping with us, and we INVITE all of you -- most especially our visitors – to return here each and every Sunday as we worship and glorify the God of our salvation! If you are new to the area and/or do not now have a church home, we invite you to speak with Pastor concerning church membership. ORDER OF SERVICE Service of Preparation Prelude, Pastoral Welcome, Announcements OPENING HYMN: “By All Your Saints in Warfare” # 517 (vss. 1, 4, 3) 1 By all Your saints in warfare, 4 Apostles, prophets, martyrs, For all Your saints at rest, And all the noble throng Your holy name, O Jesus, Who wear the spotless raiment Forevermore be blest! And raise the ceaseless song— For You have won the battle For these, passed on before us, That they might wear the crown; We offer praises due And now they shine in glory And, walking in their footsteps, Reflected from Your throne. Would live our lives for You. 3 Then let us praise the Father And worship God the Son And sing to God the Spirit, Eternal Three in One, Till all the ransomed number Fall down before the throne, Ascribing pow’r and glory And praise to God alone. © 1993 Harlyn J.

People: Amen. HYMN OF PRAISE: “Holy, Holy, Holy” # 507 1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessèd Trinity! 2 Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert and art and evermore shalt be. 3 Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see, Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee, Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity. 4 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God in three persons, blessèd Trinity! FIRST SCRIPTURE LESSON Revelation 7:9–17 9After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” 13Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 14I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15“Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. 17For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Lector: This is the Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God! EPISTLE LESSON 1 John 3:1–3 1See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. Lector: This is the Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God! GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: (sung -- from LSB, p. 205) Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! GOSPEL LESSON Matthew 5:1–12 Pastor: The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew the fifth chapter. People: Glory to you, O Lord. 1Seeing the crowds, [Jesus] went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

This liturgical calendar, together with these introductory notes, has been compiled in accordance with the Motu Proprio Rubricarum Instructum issued by Pope B John XXIII on 25th July 1960, the Roman Breviary of 1961 and the Roman Missal of 1962. For the universal calendar that to be found at the beginning of the Roman Breviary and Missal has been used. For the diocesan calendars no such straightforward procedure is possible. The decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 26th July 1960 at paragraph (6) required all diocesan calendars to conform with the new rubrics and be approved by that Congregation. The diocesan calendars in use on 1st January 1961 (the date set for the new rubrics to come into force) were substantially those previously in use but with varying adjustments and presumably as yet to re-approved. Indeed those calendars in use immediately prior to that date were by no means identical to those previously approved by the Congregation, since there had been various changes to the rubrics made by Pope Pius XII. Hence it is not a simple matter to ascertain in complete and exact detail the classifications and dates of all diocesan feasts as they were, or should have been, observed at 1st January 1961.

  • Requiem Eucharist for the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed for All Souls’ Sunday 1 November 2020 3.00 Pm Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral
    Requiem Eucharist for the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed for All Souls’ Sunday 1 November 2020 3.00 pm Welcome to St Edmundsbury Cathedral In this afternoon’s All Souls’ Service we remember with thanksgiving the people we love who have died. The Commemoration of the departed on All Souls’ Day celebrates the saints in a more intimate way than All Saints’ Day. It allows us to remember with thanksgiving before God those whom we have known directly: those who gave us life, or who supported and encouraged us on life’s journey or who nurtured us in faith. In our worship, we sense that it is a fearful thing to come before the unutterable goodness and holiness of God, even for those who are redeemed in Christ; that it is searing as well as life-giving to experience God’s mercy. This instinct is expressed in the liturgy of All Souls’ Day. During this service, everyone is invited to bring the names of loved ones departed, written on the small white card crosses, to the cross before the altar, and to light a prayer candle there. Names will not be read aloud so that the total focus of this part of the liturgy may be on silent prayer and our individual commendation to God of those whom we remember but see no more. Music at today’s service The Cathedral Choir sings the Requiem, Op. 48 by Gabriel Fauré, 1845–1924.

  • Franciscan Proper Saints
    Franciscan Proper of the Saints 1 FRANCISCAN PROPER OF THE SAINTS OCTOBER 2 Franciscan Proper of the Saints 1. The rank of the celebration (solemnity, feast or memorial) is indicated for each day. If there is no indication, it is an optional memorial. 2. For each solemnity and feast a proper Mass is provided in its entirety. This is therefore used as given. 3. For memorials: a) Proper texts, given on some days, must always be used; b) When there is a reference to a particular common, the most appropriate texts should be chosen according to the principles at the beginning of the commons. The page reference in each case indicates only the beginning of the common to which reference is made. c) If the rederence is to more than one common, one or the other may be used, according to pastoral need. It is always permissible to interchange texts from several Masses within the same common. For example, if a saint is both a martyr and a bishop, either the common of martyrs or the common of pastor (bishops) may be used. d) In addition to the commons which express a special characteristic holiness (e.g., of martyrs, virgins, or pastors), the texts from the common of saints, referring to holiness in general may always be used. For example, in the case of a saint who is both a virgin and a martyr, texts from the common of saints in general may be used, in addition to texts from the common of martyrs or the common of virgins. e) The prayers over the gifts and after communion, unless there are proper prayers, may be taken either from the common or from the current liturgical season.

  • Liturgical Notes
    DIOCESE OF FORT WAYNE–SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF WORSHIP September 2019 LITURGICAL NOTES Upcoming Holy Days of Obligation · Friday, November 1—Solemnity of All Saints · Wednesday, December 25—Nativity of the Lord · Wednesday, January 1—Mary, the Holy Mother of God à Funeral Masses and ritual Masses are not permitted on any Holy Day of Obligation. If there is a need to celebrate a funeral liturgy on this day, the “Funeral Liturgy Outside of Mass” found in the Order of Christian Funerals, nos. 177-203, would be used. Other Calendar Notes ¨ How to approach All Souls Day (Saturday, Nov. 2): Since Ritual Masses are not permitted on the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, the Ritual Mass for the Celebration of Matrimony may not be used. Rather, the Marriage ritual and the nuptial blessing should be used within the Mass of All Souls. The USCCB offers these clarifications about evening Masses on Saturday, November 2nd: “On Saturday evening (Nov. 2), any normally scheduled anticipated Masses should be for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time. (If desired for pastoral reasons, a Mass of All Souls’ Day outside the usual Mass schedule may be celebrated on Saturday evening.)” And regarding the permission given in the Missal to celebrate three Masses on All Souls, the allowance is for a maximum of three Masses for the entire day of November 2, and this would include an anticipated Sunday Mass on Saturday evening. In other words, one cannot celebrate three All Souls Masses earlier in the day, and then a Sunday vigil Mass on the evening of Nov.
