Welcome to all friends and family worshipping online with us today. We hope you will join us again as we worship God together virtually through these trying times. Today is the First Sunday after the Epiphany, the Baptism of Our Lord. Today we remember the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River by St. John the Baptist, who was Our Lord’s cousin, but more significantly, “Forerunner,” preparing the way for His coming. Parents, a Sunday School lesson for children is available on our Facebook page today. The video has already been recorded, so you can watch it any time. COVID-19 Update We have now passed the 30-day mark since Bp. Lee suspended in-person worship in the Diocese of Chicago. However, the Diocese has announced that the suspension will remain in effect in all regions that are designated for Tier 3 Mitigation. At this time, that is still the case in the City of Chicago (Region 11), and as a result we will continue to have no public services until further notice. Please visit www.stpaulsbythelake.org/covid19-updates for more information. During this period of suspension, I would commend to you the following ways to maintain habits of regular worship and prayer: • We will continue to live-stream Mass at 10:30 am on Sundays from our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/StPaulsChurchByTheLake. While this is not the same as attending church, I highly recommend that you watch as part of your Sunday routine. • If you would like to receive Holy Communion, I am more than happy to bring the Reserved Sacrament to your home upon request. Call me at 614-314-1475 to schedule a visit. I am also glad to schedule a visit to administer Holy Unction or hear Confessions as needed. • Resources for home worship for personal, family, or small group use can be found on our website at www.stpaulsbythelake.org/home-worship-resources. • Remember to pray for a speedy end to this pandemic, for all those suffering from COVID-19, for medical workers, and for those facing isolation. 1 Pledge Cards – Virtual Pledge Cards Now Available Thank you to all who have made their 2021 pledge. Please mail back your pledge card a soon as possible, and contact the church office if you did not receive a pledge card. We now also have an online pledge card on our website at www.stpaulsbythelake.org/stewardship-2021. We are aware that these are difficult times financially for many. Pledging is a decision between you and God, and one that should be made after prayerful discernment. Yet, it is also a sign of your faith in God in showing where you put your trust, and any pledge, no matter the amount, is a sign of this faith. This year, if you submit a pledge card, you will receive a complimentary copy of the Church Ordo Calendar for 2021. Giving While our public worship is currently suspended, our ongoing costs do remain as we continue to provide online worship, pastoral care, and maintenance of our facilities. So we covet your faithful ongoing financial support to the work of St. Paul’s by-the-Lake in our community and beyond, as our bills keep arriving faithfully! • Online: Simply go to our website at www.stpaulsbythelake.org/giving and click on the Donate button. Funds arrive quickly to St. Paul’s via this method. • Checks by mail: Mail your checks to the parish office (7100 N Ashland Blvd, Chicago, IL 60626). Checks should be made out to “St. Paul’s Church by-the-Lake.” • Bank account bill pay: Look for this option on your bank’s website. Many banks will allow you to set up St. Paul’s as a Payee, and then the bank will send your pledge or giving to us … no stamps necessary! Flower Fund If you would like to give Altar Flowers or Sanctuary Lamps, send a check in to the church, with “Flower Fund” in the memo line. Please include a note with the date and the memorial or other occasion, so that we can include that in the bulletin. Flowers are $50 for 2 Vases, the High Altar Sanctuary Lamp is $5, and the Chapel Shrine Lamp is $5. The cost may be split among several people or families. Donations for poinsettias at Christmas will also be accepted. Online Teaching Series Have a question about the Faith you have always wanted to ask? Fr. Kemp is now making short teaching videos that will be available on the parish website and Facebook page. Send your questions to [email protected] and he will include your questions (anonymously) in future videos. Visit our website at www.stpaulsbythelake.org/ask-fr- kemp to watch Fr. Kemp’s teachings on: • Why Do We Celebrate Christmas on December 25? (latest!) • Others: The Four Last Things (Parts 1-4), Why Are We Receiving Only the Host?

  • The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium Trans
    The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium trans. with an introduction by Benjamin T. G. Mayes October 2001 Source: Wilhelm Loehe, Martyrologium. Zur Erklärung der herkömmlichen Kalendernamen. (Nürnberg: Verlag von Gottfr. Löhe, 1868). Introduction. Loehe's Martyrologium of 1868 was not his first attempt at a Lutheran sanctoral calendar. Already in 1859, he had his Haus-, Schul- und Kirchenbuch für Christen des lutherischen Bekenntnisses printed, in which he included a sanctoral calendar which was different in many ways from his later, corrected version. The earlier calendar contained many more names, normally at least two names per day. Major feasts were labelled with their Latin names. But the earlier calendar also had errors. Many dates were marked with a question mark. A comparison of the two calendars shows that in the earlier calendar, Loehe had mistaken Cyprian the Sorcerer (Sept. 26) with Cyprian of Carthage. On the old calendar's April 13th, Hermenegild was a princess. In the new one, he's a prince. In the earlier calendar, Hildegard the Abbess (Sept. 17) was dated in the 300's. In the new one, she is dated 1179. In fact, in the later calendar, I would suppose that half of the dates have been changed. Loehe was conscious of the limitations of his calendar. He realized especially how difficult the selection of names was. His calendar contains the names of many Bavarian saints. This is to be expected, considering the fact that his parish, Neuendettelsau, is located in Bavaria. Loehe gave other reasons for the selection of names in his Martyrologium: "The booklet follows the old calendar names.

  • Athanasius of Alexandria and “The Kingdom of the Desert” in His Works
    VOX PATRUM 35 (2015) t. 64 Eirini ARTEMI* ATHANASIUS OF ALEXANDRIA AND “THE KINGDOM OF THE DESERT” IN HIS WORKS The concept of monasticism is ancient and can be found in many reli- gions and philosophies. In the centuries immediately before Christ, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism developed alternative styles of life which involved renouncing the world in some ways, in order to seek liberation or purification or union with God, sometimes as a solitary ascetic, sometimes in community. In the third and fourth century, a significant numbers of Christians preferred the desert as the way to come closer to God. So they abandoned their family life and they chose the isolation in the wilderness as the safe path which ends in their deification1. The wilderness in the Bible is a barely perceptible space, an in-between place where ordinary life is suspended, identity shifts, and where the new pos- sibilities emerge. Beginning with the Exodus and then through the Old Testa- ment times, the desert was regarded as a place of spiritual renewal and return to God2. From the experiences of the Israelites in exile, one can learn that the Biblical wilderness is a place of danger, temptation, and chaos, but it is also a place for solitude, nourishment, and revelation from God3. These themes emerge again in Jesus’ journey into the wilderness after His baptism (cf. Mt 4:1-11; Mk 1:12-13; Lk 4:1-13) and when the Christianity started to develop in the period of Roman Empire. Early Christian monasticism drew its inspira- tion from the examples of the Prophet Elijah and John the Baptist, who both lived alone in the desert and above all from the story of Jesus’ time in solitary struggling with Satan in the desert, before his public ministry4.

In prison he was held secure by two iron chains. During the night before his trial, an angel of the Lord removed these chains from the Apostle Peter and led him out from the prison (Acts 12:1-11). Christians who learned of the miracle took the chains and kept them as precious keepsakes. For three centuries the chains were kept in Jerusalem, and those who were afflicted with illness and approached them with faith re- ceived healing.

It marks the beginning of a time of preparation for the spiritual journey of Lent, a time for Orthodox Christians to draw closer to God through worship, prayer, fasting, and acts of charity. It is also on this day that the Triodion is introduced, a liturgical book that contains the services from this Sunday, the tenth before Pascha, to Great and Holy Saturday. This is the story of two men, one a Pharisee, a member of a Jewish sect known for its diligent observance of the Law, and the other a Publican, a government official charged with the responsibility of collecting taxes. Both men enter the temple, and the Pharisee stands openly and prays, thanking God that he is not like other men, specifically extortioners, the unjust, adulterers, “or even this tax collector”.

    0347-0420 – Hieronymus – Vita Sancti Pauli Eremitae The Life of Paulus the First Hermit this file has been downloaded from http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf206.html NPNF (V2-06) St. Jerome 297 TREATISES. 299 The Life of Paulus the First Hermit. ———————————— The Life of Paulus was written in the year 374 or 375 during Jerome’s stay in the desert of Syria, as is seen from c. 6, and was dedicated to Paulus of Concordia as stated in Jerome’s Ep. x. c. 3. 1. It has been a subject of wide-spread and frequent discussion what monk was the first to give a signal example of the hermit life. For some going back too far have found a beginning in those holy men Elias and John, of whom the former seems to have been more than a monk and the latter to have begun to prophesy before his birth. Others, and their opinion is that commonly received, maintain that Antony was the originator of this mode of life, which view is partly true. Partly I say, for the fact is not so much that he preceded the rest as that they all derived from him the necessary stimulus. But it is asserted even at the present day by Amathas and Macarius, two of Antony’s disciples, the former of whom laid his master in the grave, that a certain Paul of Thebes was the leader in the movement, though not the first to bear the name, and this opinion has my approval also. Some as they think fit circulate stories such as this—that he was a man living in an underground cave with flowing hair down to his feet, and invent many incredible tales which it would be useless to detail.
