December 23, 2018 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, in Today's ST. RICHARD CATHOLIC CHURCH December 23, 2018 FROM THE DESK OF FR. ADAM. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, In today’s Gospel we hear Saint Luke’s account of the encounter between Mary and Elizabeth, both of whom are pregnant with their respective sons. We hear Elizabeth’s words of praise for the Blessed Virgin, which eventually become—along with the words of the angel, Gabrielle—the first part of our prayer the Hail Mary. Saint Luke is known for presenting a Marian perspective on the life of Christ. Only two gospels give us an account of the birth of our Lord, that of Saint Luke and that of Saint Matthew. Saint Matthew’s version sees the events through the eyes of Joseph, while Saint Luke’s version sees the birth of our Lord more through the viewpoint of Mary. Saint Luke’s account is the one most often portrayed in Christmas plays. In the liturgy, we hear Saint Luke’s version of the nativity proclaimed at Midnight Mass. If we are not able to come to that Mass, we might miss Saint Luke’s narrative altogether. In that case, it is worth our time to read Saint Luke’s version of the birth of our Lord on our own. It can be found in Luke 2:1-20. We look forward to celebrating Christmas with you at one of our holy Masses. On Christmas Eve Father Manoj will offer the 4:00 Mass. Later, I will offer Mass at Midnight, and also at 10:00 a.m. on Christmas day. I pray that the peace which the angels proclaimed at the first Christmas be yours this year. Sincerely, Fr. Adam Hertzfeld, Pastoral Administrator EUCHARISTIC ADORATION AMELIA JEAN GROGAN You wait and wait for me to visit You in Your voluntary Daughter of prison but I am so busy with petty things. Do Angels take my place when I am not with you? Century passes Drew & Kristi century and still You are in this Sacrament of Love, and BAPTIZED yet there seems to be few who appreciate Your Sacrifice, Your Love, Your Longing. Jesus, let me be a December 1,2018 comfort to Your lonely Heart.” ST. RICHARD CHURCH ST. RICHRD PRAY FOR US “For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.” LUKE 1:44 When you hear the scripture readings and Gospel reading each Sunday, do you “leap for joy?” If not, don’t blame the lecturer or priest, rather look inside yourself. Do you prepare for Mass each week or do you just show up and expect to be entertained? We are called to be active participants, not passive by-standers.

Conclusion 84 Selected bibliography and works cited 90 A Cycle of C-changes: a working model for the literary epiphany Schouten 2 1. Introduction Change is a keyword in much of the world’s literature, as human beings are hardly ever static and unchanging. Although there are instances in which hardly any change of character, or change of heart, or change of scene occurs in the course of a narrative – Beckett’s Waiting for Godot comes to mind – more often the protagonist’s progress is marked by significant changes. Hence, one of the most commonly discussed aspects when dealing with a work of literature is that of character development. Another key mechanism is that of rising and falling action. This is conventionally associated with drama, but equally applies to prose. Introduced in 1894 by the German critic and dramatist Gustav Freytag (Prince 36), the framework for plot analysis which became known as Freytag’s Pyramid consists of an upright triangular shape depicting on the left-hand side of the triangle the notion of rising action or the increase of tension, the tip of the pyramid representing the climax or culmination of the action, and the right-hand side standing for falling action or the decrease of tension.

    presents INTRODUCTION ­ SET 1 Lost is my Quiet, z. 502 (1691) Henry Purcell /unknown Henry Purcell (c.1659-95), often regarded as the dean of English composers, composed this duet, Lost is my Quiet, in 1691 during the height of the middle Baroque period in England. Like the later Baroque composers, Bach and Händel, he was incredibly prolific during his brief 35 years on earth, with a stunning output of masques, oratories, semi-operas, anthems, hymns, cantatas, organ music, incidental music for plays, royal funeral ceremonies and hundreds of songs. His church organist positions, held simultaneously at both the Royal Chapel and Westminster Abbey, made him the most important musician of his era. Purcell is honored, together with Bach and Händel, with a feast day on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church. Lamento (1868) Henri DuParc /Théophile Gautier Frenchman Henri Duparc, who lived from 1848 till 1933, composed this solemn and moving piece in 1868. Plagued by nervousness and anxiety, at age 37 his mental state deteriorated and he completely stopped composing, and eventually destroyed most of his early output. What we have left is a superb body of only seventeen songs giving music to the words of more than a dozen different French poets, of which "Lamento" is one of the finest. Pietá, Signore (1833) François-Joseph Fétis /Anonymous Fétis was a Belgian composer and music critic who lived from 1784-1871. His musical talents manifested at the age of seven and, at nine, he was official church organist at Saint Waltrude. He was a prolific composer from the simple chanson to grand opera.

  • Title: the Disappearance of the Ark of the Covenant
    THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT THEODORE D. EHRLICH One of the great mysteries of the Bible is the disappearance of the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord. The Ark is mentioned as being placed in the First Temple (I Kgs. 8:3-8), but does not appear in the dedication ceremony of the Second Temple (Ezra 3). The Talmud (TB Yoma 22b) notes that the Ark was one of the five items that were in the First Temple, but not in the Second Temple. The Bible does not mention who removed the Ark, why the Ark was removed, where it was moved, when it was taken, and, finally, how this was achieved. It simply disappears from the biblical narrative. It would be anach- ronistic to expect the biblical writers to function as investigative reporters; however, their silence on this subject is startling. It is the equivalent of Sher- lock Holmes' "the dog that didn't bark." For the Jews, the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord is the most sacred object imaginable, containing the handiwork of God, and yet there is little mention of its history after being placed in Solomon's Temple. The cross for Chris- tians, the black stone for Muslims, and the Ark for Jews are physical objects central to their religious cults. To briefly review, the Ark was made of acacia wood, overlaid with gold, and measured two and a half cubits by one and a half cubits by one and a half cubits (Ex. 25:10), roughly 45 inches by 27 inches by 27 inches.
