How is the liturgy the work of the Holy Trinity? In the liturgy, the Father is adored as Creator; the Son as our brother and Redeemer; the Holy Spirit as the giver of all gifts. (CCC 1077-1109) III-28 Textbook Date to Date Chapter Teach Completed 3. What place does scripture, (the Word of God) have in liturgy?

This paper focuses on burial practices in medieval Central Europe pertaining to children who died before, during, or shortly after birth. It discusses the relationship between medieval laity, ecclesiastic power, and social space, using three medieval cemeteries in Switzerland and Austria as examples. By integrating considerations of medieval practices of infant baptism, afterlife topography, and social theories of space, a methodological and interpretative framework is outlined and employed for approaching burials of early-deceased infants, the social dimension of related local burial practices, and processes of power negotiation between medieval laypeople and church authorities. Keywords afterlife, baptism, burial space, Central Europe, early-infancy death, landscape, middle ages, mortuary archaeology, social space Introduction In medieval Europe the engagement with children who died before, during, or shortly after birth was closely linked to their baptismal status. As a means to clear the soul from Original Sin, baptism constituted the most profound rite of passage within Christianity.

  • Emergency Baptism Policy
    Emergency Baptism Policy The proper place for baptism is a church or oratory; however, in a case of urgent necessity or some other compelling pastoral reason, Baptism may be celebrated in a hospital, institutional setting, or other location of emergency. In these emergency situations, when a Catholic priest administers Baptism in danger of death, it is expected that he will administer Confirmation also.1 When a priest is not available for an emergency Baptism, a deacon or properly catechized layperson should be sent immediately. A priest can later administer Confirmation if warranted. An infant in danger of death is to be baptized without delay. An adult in danger of death can be baptized if, having some knowledge of the principal truths of the faith, the person has manifested in any way at all the intention to receive baptism and promises to observe the commandments of the Christian religion. If baptism is administered neither by the pastor nor in his presence, the minister of baptism, whoever it is, must inform the pastor of the parish in whose territory the baptism was administered. All emergency baptisms are to be recorded in the sacramental register for Baptism of the territorial parish in which the Baptism took place. The pastor must carefully and without delay record in the baptismal book the names of those baptized making mention of the minister, parents, sponsors, witnesses if any and the place and date of the conferred baptism, together with an indication of the date and place of birth. If Confirmation was also administered it is recorded along with the Baptism in the territorial parish.

  • Dictionary of Religious Terms
    IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Please Read! his lexicon began as a personal project to assist me in my efforts to learn more about my faith. All too often in my T readings I was coming across unfamiliar words, frequently in languages other than English. I began compiling a “small” list of terms and explanations to use as a reference. Since I was putting this together for my own use I usually copied explanations word for word, occasionally making a few modifications. As the list grew I began having trouble filling in some gaps. I turned to some friends for help. They in turn suggested this lexicon would be a good resource for the members of the Typikon and Ustav lists @yahoogroups.com and that list members maybe willing to help fill the gaps and sort out some other trouble spots. So, I present to you my lexicon. Here are some details: This draft version, as of 19 December 2001, contains 418 entries; Terms are given in transliterated Greek, Greek, Old Slavonic, Ukrainian, and English, followed by definitions/explanations; The terms are sorted alphabetically by “English”; The Greek transliteration is inconsistent as my sources use different systems; This document was created with MS Word 97 and converted to pdf with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (can be opened with Acrobat Reader 4.0); Times New Roman is used for all texts except the Old Slavonic entries for which I used a font called IZHITSA; My sources are listed at the end of the lexicon; Permission has not been obtained from the authors so I ask that this lexicon remain for private use only.

  • 2020-21 Confirmation Schedule and Guidelines
    2020-21 SY SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION The Sacrament of Confirmation strengthens the baptized and obliges them more firmly to be witnesses of Christ by word and deed and to spread and defend the faith. It imprints a character, enriches by the gift of the Holy Spirit the baptized continuing on the path of Christian initiation, and binds them more perfectly to the Church. (Canon 879) GUIDELINES The following guidelines apply to a young adults ages 13 to 17 (8th grade to high school junior), who baptized as Catholic Christians prior to their seventh (7th) birthday. For children older than seven (7) years old, who were not yet baptized, please call to make an appointment with the pastor. For baptized persons older than 17 years of age, please call to make an appointment with the pastor. In the danger of death or grave illness, please call the pastor for immediate emergency Baptism and/or Confirmation. Parents have a grave responsibility to encourage the One True Faith in their children and to make sure that they receive all the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation) at the appropriate times. As these are sacred events and Sacraments, young people typically undergo some preparation prior to receiving them in the form of classes, retreats, and ministry projects. All of this is of course to be an outreach of regular Sunday Mass attendance and daily personal and family prayer. CONFIRMATION REQUIREMENTS At least one of the parents (or guardian) of the child must be an active member in Holy Family Catholic Parish (or met with and discussed with the pastor why they are not utilizing their parish’s formation program).
