Yet, there’s a magical artfulness and skill to their work that speaks volumes about the One who breathed life into their being.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • Confirmation
    CONFIRMATION December 1, 2020 Dear Parents and Students, You have elected to register your son/daughter for the St. Agnes Christian Formation program this year. When registering your son/daughter it is stated that our Confirmation program is a two-year program. This program challenges him or her to grow in his or her understanding of the Catholic faith and his or her personal relationship with God. There are several points to make you aware of in preparation for Confirmation (which starts in 8th grade with the student receiving the Sacrament with the completion of 9th grade studies) (due to pandemic this school year completion of 10th grade)). Successful completion of the curriculum includes once a month catechesis, service to others, and spending time with God in prayer. The greatest form of prayer is the celebration of the Mass. As Catholics, we are encouraged to attend weekly Mass in order to recognize God’s love more fully in the Word and Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. While the pandemic poses a particular challenge at this time, students and their families are highly encouraged to either attend weekly Mass in person (Precautions are in place to ensure everyone’s safety) or to seek out an online Mass to encourage growth in love for Christ in preparation for Confirmation. Below is a list of other expectations. Remember, these “assignments” are designed to support our students in their desire to know, love, and serve our wonderful God while helping to prepare them for the reception of the Sacrament. This process for being Confirmed in the Spirit is a commitment from the parish, support from parents, and a commitment from the student that wishes to be Confirmed.

  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

  • Guidelines for Choosing a Confirmation Name 1
    Guidelines for Choosing a Confirmation Name 1. Confirmation candidates should choose a saint’s name, the name of a biblical hero, or the name of a virtuous person they admire (living or deceased) as their Confirmation name. 2. The name must not contain any derivative of the name of Satan or the devil (For example, Satana or Devila). 3. Confirmation candidates may use their Baptismal name. Because Confirmation is the completion of our Baptism, it is an opportunity to reaffirm our initiation and to strengthen the connection between these two sacraments by using again their Baptismal name. 4. It is permissible for a Confirmation candidate to choose the name of a person who is in the process of canonization (For example, Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos or Venerable Fulton Sheen) CHOOSING A CONFIRMATION SAINT We choose a Confirmation saint because we realize how unfortunate it would be to travel alone. The saints have so much to teach us about this journey. The following list is for you to use as a starting point to assist your child in choosing a “Confirmation saint-buddy.” Have your child pick a saint who speaks to them. Know their story, but mostly know the power of their prayer to this saint. Encourage your child to include praying to this saint as part of their prayer life. I) “Superhero” Saints! The “superpowers” of these saints were not the result of a scientific accident or alien power. These people were simply receptive to the mighty power of God. These following saint stories are incredibly heroic! St. Mary, the Mother of God St.

St. Moses the black (Ethiopean) Page 3 of 10 The Remembrance (Martyrdom) of “Anba Moussa Al-Assouad”1 St. Moses the Black 24th of Baonah, July First The Story of St. Moses the Ethiopian (Black) “Anba Moussa Al-Assouad” is a story of unusual repentance which can be a great source of hope and inspiration for the worst sinner there is. Born in the beginning of the fourth century, a contemporary of Abba Maquaar the Great, and Abba Isethorous the priest of shehit. He was an Abyssinian (Nubian). Nubia is a region south of Egypt and north of Sudan which was a great kingdom known even during the pharonic time. Ramses II (1500 B.C.) built two temples in Nubia, known as the temples of Abu Sembel, one for himself and the other for his favorite wife, Nefertari. Through religious worship, he was able to control the region. Nubia also became a Christian Kingdom at one point in time and is credited for attempting to stop the Islamic invasion of Egypt. Part of Nubia is now integrated with Egypt, and the other with Sudan. Moses was a vicious slave who was a robber, fornicator, and savage killer. When he drank, seven large wine flasks were not enough for him with one meal. One time before his repentance, he crossed the river with a sword between his teeth to kill a shepherd attending a flock of sheep for no reason other than to kill.

  • Black Catholic History 2018 an Updated Excerpt from January 31, 2012 Timely Topics
    BLACK CATHOLIC HISTORY 2018 AN UPDATED EXCERPT FROM JANUARY 31, 2012 TIMELY TOPICS Each year in February we are reminded of the history and contributions of Black Americans. For us, it also is a time to be aware of the history and gifts of our black brothers and sisters in the Catholic Church in America. Black Catholics are not newcomers to the Church. We often forget that Christianity did not originate in Europe. You may be surprised to learn that Black Catholic History began in the Acts of the Apostles (8:26-40) with the conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch by Philip the Deacon. Three Popes have been born in Africa: Saints Victor I, Melchiades, and Gelasius I. Many saints were black: Saints Cyprian, Zeno, Anthony of Egypt, Moses the Black, Pachomius, Maurice, Athanasius, Pisentius, Mary of Egypt, Cyril of Alexandria, Monica of Hippo, Augustine of Hippo, Perpetua, Felicitas, and St. Martin DePorres. Black Catholics have played a major part in the history and development of our Church, e.g., St. Augustine’s Summa Theologica (St. Augustine is considered the first black doctor of the Church). Many Black Catholics have devoted their lives to their Catholic faith – indeed, many have given their lives for their faith. Below are links to some notable Black Catholics. Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable Fr. Augustine Tolton Daniel A. Rudd Pope St. Victor 189-198 AD Pierre Toussaint Pope St. Miltiades 310-314 AD Mother Henriette Delille Pope St. Gelasius I 492-496 AD Mother Mary Lange St. Josephine Bakhita Father Cyprian Davis Black Catholics have been a part of American history since at least 1565.
