Please take one with you A NOTE ABOUT TODAY’S LITURGY… For 2,000 years, Christians of all ages have come together Sunday after Sunday (and sometimes other days of the week!) to worship God and to celebrate Jesus’ presence with us in the Holy Eucharist. Eucharist comes from a Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” Each week, we offer our thanks to God for all the things we have in our life and all the ways God loves us. The Eucharist is not something that only a priest does; it is something that we do together. It takes all of us here to help make the Eucharist happen.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • Vestments and Sacred Vessels Used at Mass
    Vestments and Sacred Vessels used at Mass Amice (optional) This is a rectangular piece of cloth with two long ribbons attached to the top corners. The priest puts it over his shoulders, tucking it in around the neck to hide his cassock and collar. It is worn whenever the alb does not completely cover the ordinary clothing at the neck (GI 297). It is then tied around the waist. It symbolises a helmet of salvation and a sign of resistance against temptation. 11 Alb This long, white, vestment reaching to the ankles and is worn when celebrating Mass. Its name comes from the Latin ‘albus’ meaning ‘white.’ This garment symbolises purity of heart. Worn by priest, deacon and in many places by the altar servers. Cincture (optional) This is a long cord used for fastening some albs at the waist. It is worn over the alb by those who wear an alb. It is a symbol of chastity. It is usually white in colour. Stole A stole is a long cloth, often ornately decorated, of the same colour and style as the chasuble. A stole traditionally stands for the power of the priesthood and symbolises obedience. The priest wears it around the neck, letting it hang down the front. A deacon wears it over his right shoulder and fastened at his left side like a sash. Chasuble The chasuble is the sleeveless outer vestment, slipped over the head, hanging down from the shoulders and covering the stole and alb. It is the proper Mass vestment of the priest and its colour varies according to the feast.

  • The Ritual Unity of Roman Catholicism and Hinduism No
    Adyar Pamphlets The Ritual Unity of Roman Catholicism and Hinduism No. 54 The Ritual Unity of Roman Catholicism and Hinduism by C. Jinarajadasa Published in 1915 Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai [Madras] India The Theosophist Office, Adyar, Madras. India [Page 1] Two of the great religions today have as their fundamental theme the sacrifice of God for the sake of man. Hinduism clearly bases its sacrificial ritual on the sacrifice of Prajãpati, the Lord of Creatures, who created the universe by a dismemberment of his Person. In Christianity the idea appears slightly changed, but in the dogma of the Word made flesh, the Son of God sent to be crucified as an Atonement for man, we have fundamentally the same mystic root. Hindû ritual and that of the Roman Catholic Church have much in common, as both are intended to commemorate the sacrifice of the Deity. The Mass, as performed in the Roman Church, when studied in its occult aspects, leads us into deep mystic realms where we join hands on the one side with Hindûism, and on the other with Masonry. Many, especially non-Roman Christians, little understand ritual and symbolism. They have an idea that ritual is so much mummery invented by priesthoods to hypnotise ignorant worshippers, and has no [Page 2] part in any true worship of God. When a Theosophist has trained himself to put aside religious bias, his knowledge that there are many paths to God puts him in an attitude of sympathy with a form of worship that satisfies millions today. HIDDEN SIDE OF RITUALS The mystic truth underlying true rituals is that what is done on earth is only symbolic of what is eternally taking place in the heavens.

  • Cindy Needham Linen Ladies Workshop (Two Days) Friday - Saturday (May 15-16, 2020)
    Cindy Needham Linen Ladies Workshop (Two Days) Friday - Saturday (May 15-16, 2020) Experience Level: Confident hand or machine quilter My passion is turning vintage linens into whole cloth quilts. I love being able to create something “new” out of something old. It seems that every one has a few old linens and laces tucked away that they just never know what to do with. I am offering this one-of-a-kind workshop to help you create your own unique heirloom. This is a fun and creative workshop and I guarantee that you will become an addict, as I have, creating these beautiful quilts. On the first day of the workshop I will teach you how to deal with stains and holes and give you special designing/basting/edging techniques. We will also discuss threads, batting, fabrics, etc. In addition detailed instruction will be provided on how to design both medallion and repetitive design whole cloth quilts. The second morning of the workshop will include lectures on the Ultimate Borders and Ultimate Backgrounds. I will also bring along my Heirloom Feathers lecture if there is interest in this topic. The afternoons of each day will be spent designing your whole cloth quilt. I will bring an assortment of stencils for you to use to mark your quilting designs. Your extensive class handbooks will be provided at no charge on a CD. I HIGHLY recommend that you bring a “sacrifice” linen for your first piece. This needs to be a piece that you can relax and learn on. I would hate for you to learn on your great-great-grandmother’s heirloom tablecloth! Supply List: Your sewing machine is not needed! You will spend your time designing and marking your tops which you will then take home to quilt.
