Responsorial: Psalm 22 “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” Second Reading: Philippians 2:6-11 Jesus empties himself and God fills this emptiness with exaltation. Gospel Reading: Luke 22:14-23:56 The Passion of our Lord, Jesus Christ THE FEAST OF FEASTS Triduum celebrates God’s plan From 2019 St. Ann Lenten Bulletin, by Deacon Keith Kolodziej We all have favorite seasons, and without doubt, mine is Holy Week. The reason is because Easter is not simply just one of our great feasts, but the feast of feasts, the solemnity of solemnities, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It is the high point of the liturgical year. It marks the end of the 40 days of Lent and the beginning of the three-day period – also called the Triduum – that spans from the death to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The word Triduum [TRIH-doo-um] comes from Latin roots that mean period of three days. Though chronologically three days, the Triduum is liturgically one great festival unfolding for us the unity of Christ's paschal mystery. It celebrates God’s plan of redemption for the fallen human race through the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Here is a summary of each of the three days that make up the Easter Triduum: Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper 7:00pm The evening Mass on Holy Thursday is referred to as the Mass of the Lord’s supper. This is the time the Church reexperiences when Jesus established the Eucharist and priesthood, which took place the evening before Jesus’s crucifixion. After the homily, 12 pre-selected parishioners will participate in a ceremony where the priest washes the feet of others to signify his solidarity with Jesus’s role as servant. Because of its connection to the Last Supper, we also have Eucharistic Adoration late into the evening. Good Friday Seven Last Words 1:00pm, Good Friday Service 7:00pm Good Friday is a mandatory day of fasting and abstinence from things we enjoy most. It also is a solemn day of prayer and mourning. This is the day of the crucifixion, the day Jesus died for the sins of the world. The parish altar is kept plain and bare. There are no consecrated hosts in the tabernacle; they are hidden away to signify Jesus’s death. The candle by the tabernacle is extinguished, and the tabernacle doors are left open to show that it is empty. Jesus is gone. On Good Friday we share in Christ’s seven last words, read again the story of his passion, and end the day venerating his cross, which was the means of Christ’s death, but also the means for our eternal life. Holy Saturday and The Easter vigil Easter Vigil 7:00pm On this day Jesus is in the tomb. Therefore, we do not celebrate any daytime Masses. It is another a day of fasting and sorrow, the final one before the Easter vigil begins later that evening. After nightfall on Holy Saturday, the Easter vigil Mass is held in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus, which occurred sometime between dusk and dawn. This Mass, which displays Catholicism in all its splendor, beauty and glory, is the Mass where many in RCIA, who have waited through months of study, are brought into full communion with the Catholic Church. Easter Sunday Easter Masses 6:30am, 8:30am, 10:30am, 12:30pm Easter Sunday is what we’ve all been waiting for. The stone has been rolled away, the grave in which Jesus lay is empty, and the burial cloths are askew on the ground! Jesus is risen, just as promised. Alleluia! Alleluia! The power of sin and death has been defeated once and for all. With that, when we pass from this life to life eternal, we can share in his reward of being forever in the beautiful presence of almighty God. Alleluia! Alleluia!

  • JOHN WESLEYS NOTES on the WHOLE BIBLE the NEW TESTAMENT by John Wesley
    JOHN WESLEYS NOTES ON THE WHOLE BIBLE THE NEW TESTAMENT by John Wesley PREFACE 1. For many years I have had a desire of setting down and laying together, what has occurred to my mind, either in reading, thinking, or conversation, which might assist serious persons, who have not the advantage of learning, in understanding the New Testament. But I have been continually deterred from attempting any thing of this kind, by a deep sense of my own inability: of my want, not only of learning for such a work, but much more, of experience and wisdom. This has often occasioned my laying aside the thought. And when, by much importunity, I have been prevailed upon to resume it, still I determined to delay it as long as possible, that (if it should please God) I might finish my work and my life together. 2. But having lately had a loud call from God to arise and go hence, I am convinced that if I attempt any thing of this kind at all, I must not delay any longer. My day is far spent, and (even in a natural way) the shadows of the evening come on apace. And I am the rather induced to do what little I can in this way, because I can do nothing else: being prevented, by my present weakness, from either travelling or preaching. But, blessed be God, I can still read, and write, and think. O that it may be to his glory! 3. It will be easily discerned, even from what I have said already, and much more from the notes themselves, that they were not principally designed for men of learning; who are provided with many other helps: and much less for men of long and deep experience in the ways and word of God.

  • Meditations on the Seven Words Good Friday—April 18, 2014 at St
    Meditations on the Seven Words Good Friday—April 18, 2014 at St. Peter’s, Balaton The First Word—Luke 23:34 “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Crucifying people was no easy job. Condemned criminals wanted to make things as difficult for their Roman executioners as they could. Soldiers routinely faced all kinds of attacks from their charges. The guilty would bite the soldiers carrying out their grim task. Kicking, punching, scratching and screaming these men went to their deaths, even though they knew they deserved their fate. After a while, the soldiers got smarter. To prevent unnecessary struggle, criminals’ arms and legs would often be tied to the cross to make the driving of the nails into the hands and feet easier. A drink of myrrh and aloes would be offered to the guilty. This was a drug designed to relax the prisoners and decrease their resistance. For two of the condemned on Good Friday, it was business as usual. But not for the one being crucified on the middle cross. Jesus was different, very different. The soldiers faced no resistance from him. Jesus would not bite his death squad. No cursing of the soldiers spewed from our Lord’s mouth. There would be no spitting in their faces or kicking and scratching as the soldiers tried to tie his hands to the cross. In fact, the soldiers would not need any ropes for Jesus. Quietly, without resistance, as a Lamb led to the slaughter before his shearers is silent, Jesus willingly laid down on his cross and submitted to the terrible agony awaiting him.

The series is a fictionalized account Of the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth, Starting with her marriage to Prince Phillip in 1947, And it’s projected to last Right on up to the present day. The third season opens in 1964, And will take us into the 1970s. It follows Elizabeth as she leads her country And her family through a series of crises. Had this been any other week but THIS week, When I’ve been more than a little distracted By yesterday’s festivities, I bet I would have binge-watched At least three or four of the episodes by now. As it is, I’ve only had time to watch the first episode, Which is entitled “Olding.” The title refers both to the queen’s reaching middle age, AND to a spy scandal At the heart of the British establishment. The episode opens with Elizabeth inspecting a new portrait of herself. It’s the image that’s going to be going onto the postage stamps. It will replace the image of the young princess. She’s now an older Elizabeth. The new portrait is supposed to convey a sense of majesty, The profile of a settled monarch. 2 But Elizabeth looks at it and the first words she says are “old bat.” But that’s how she looked.

  • The Way of Salvation by J
    The Way of Salvation by J. C. Ryle Where must a man go for pardon? Where is forgiveness to be found? There is a way both sure and plain, and into that way I desire to guide every inquirers feet. That way is simply to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior. It is to cast your soul with all its sins, unreservedly on Christ—to cease completely from any dependence on your own works or doings, either in whole or in part—and to rest on no other work but Christ's work—no other righteousness but Christ's righteousness, no other merit but Christ's merit as your ground of hope. Take this course—and you are a pardoned soul. Says Peter "All the prophets testify about Him, that through His name everyone who believes in Him will receive forgiveness of sins." (Acts 10:43). Says Paul at Antioch, "Through this Man forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you, and everyone who believes in Him is justified from everything." (Acts 13:38). "In Him," writes Paul to the Colossians, "we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins" (Col. 1:14). The Lord Jesus Christ, in great love and compassion has made a full and complete satisfaction for sin, by suffering death in our place upon the cross. There He offered Himself as a sacrifice for us, and allowed the wrath of God which we deserved—to fall on His own head! For our sins, as our Substitute, He gave Himself, suffered, and died—the just for the unjust, the innocent for the guilty—that He might deliver us from the curse of a broken law, and provide a complete pardon for all who are willing to receive it.

A skeptic once said to his dying fellow unbeliever. Hold on. Hold on. The awful answer was but what am I to hold on to. Going into eternity friends and nothing to hold on to is a frightful. Unthinkable predicament. May God protect you from that sinking and no foundation? Christ is the only foundation and bless God. It is a firm one and all we will ever need and verse fourteen says if a man's work is built on that foundation remains he's going to receive a reward. You see we've indicated that this is for reward and here's the proof of it. Believer gets the reward the reward isn't heaven or eternal life or salvation. Why that's not a reward that's a gift. We never did anything to get into heaven. Not anything to be the recipient of eternal life. Let's not get our scriptural details mixed up this salvation is not a reward.

  • "At the Ninth Hour" -- Matthew 27:50-54
    "At the Ninth Hour" -- Matthew 27:50-54 Our Redeemer Lutheran Church Emmett, Idaho 21 April Anno Domini 2000 Good Friday Pastor Michael L. McCoy Dear Baptized, The crucifixion of God Incarnate is so awfully incongruous, so terribly inharmonic, so dreadfully inconsistent that this earth and indeed, the solar system bear witness during the scandalous occasion. The Creator had entered His creation some thirty years earlier and is now crucified by His creatures. God forsakes Himself and the sun’s light is extinguished as darkness covers all the land for three hours - until 3:00pm - until the ninth hour. If that is what transpires when Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Man, is crucified, what happens at the awe-filled moment of His death ... when He commends His spirit into the hands of His Father ... when Jesus’ body and spirit separate? Please listen to the Good News written in the Gospel of Matthew 27:50-54 under the theme ... ... At the Ninth Hour Jesus, when He had cried out again with a loud voice, yielded up His spirit. And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. Now when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!" Thus far the Word of the Lord our God.

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Penitent Thief: Langlandian Extremes, the Edge of Salvation, and the Problem of Trajan and Dismas in Piers Plowman
    Marginalia, April 2011 1 The Good, the Bad, and the Penitent Thief: Langlandian Extremes, the Edge of Salvation, and the Problem of Trajan and Dismas in Piers Plowman Alexander Gabrovsky University of Cambridge And yet the synfulle sherewe seide to hymselve: ‘Crist, that on Calvarie upon the cros deidest, Tho Dysmas my brother bisoughte thee of grace, And haddest mercy on that man for Memento sake, (B-text, Passus 5. 464-7)1 In the above passage, Robert the Robber recalls Dismas on the cross, who, in his final moments, defends Christ against the vicious attacks of Gestas, the Bad Thief. At the centre of Robert’s dual address to ‘hymselve’ and ‘Crist’ is Dismas: a ‘man for Memento sake’. Although Robert finds comfort in the established tra- dition of penitential rhetoric, his situation spirals into uncertainty: ‘What bifel of this feloun I kan noght faire shewe’ (B.5.472). Christian theologians were simul- taneously amazed and perplexed with the inherent contradiction that a thief, who receives a kind of clara visio at the crossroads of death, becomes the sole heir to the heavenly kingdom, elevated to a status of glory as the first to enter Paradise.2 It is no coincidence that as a symbol of God’s mercy, Dismas is some- times depicted alongside Christ in the Harrowing of Hell, appealing to the ideal of imitatio Christi.3 In fact, ‘some writers carry the paradox so far as to suggest that the greatest sinners make the greatest saints’,4 which it could be argued contributes to a pattern of colliding Langlandian extremes.
