  • Lent & Easter Season
    LENT/EASTER SEASON February 22, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? At its root, Lent is a name for Spring, and is a 40-day period of preparation for Easter Sunday and one of the major liturgical seasons of the Catholic Church. A penitential season marked by prayer, fasting and abstinence, and almsgiving, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. The color of Lent is purple; The six Sundays in Lent are not part of the Lenten fast, and thus we say there are 40 days of Lent – a biblical number – while there are really 46; The Stations of the Cross are a devotion imitating a pilgrimage with Jesus to commemorate 14 key events around the crucifixion; Because of the solemnity of Lent, the Gloria and Alleluia are not said or sung. March 1, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? During Lent the Church is called to embrace a spirit of repentance and metanoia (“a change of heart”) or conversion. There are many opportunities for prayer – communally or individually – such as: Daily Mass (communal) Stations of the Cross (communal and individual) The Rosary (communal and individual) Liturgy of the Hours (individual) Reconciliation (communal and individual) Adoration of the Eucharist in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel every Friday (individual) Free web Lent program offered by Dynamic Catholic—sign up at BestLentEver.com. March 8, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? The next four weeks of “What’s This” will be highlighting specific components that lead up through the Easter Vigil. Palm Sunday – March 29: The liturgical color of Palm Sunday is red. Red signifies Christ’s Passion; The Palm Sunday liturgy begins with an additional Gospel highlighting the jubilant entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem; The palms are ancient symbols of victory and hope, as well as new life; The Palm Sunday liturgy takes on a more somber tone with the second Gospel reading of Christ’s Passion; The blessed palms received this day should be discarded as other blessed articles.

  • Guidelines on the Christian Calendar and Christian Holy Days
    Status of document: This document has been adopted by DEWCOM please refer to the following URL: http://www.mcsadewcom.blogspot.com The Methodist Church of Southern Africa Doctrine, Ethics and Worship Committee Guidelines on the Christian Calendar and Christian Holy Days Introduction The Christian Calendar and Holy Days tell the story of God in human life in Jesus Christ The Christian understanding of God and the experience of personal and social redemption and renewal through Jesus Christ are shaped by participating, by means of liturgy and worship, in the story of God’s coming into human life in Jesus Christ. Each event in the story of God’s coming into human life in Jesus Christ contributes to God’s renewal of humanity, but no single event is complete in itself, as each event leads to the next. When people experience these events as one continuous story throughout the year and the story is repeated year after year, individuals and communities develop mature, balanced and living faith in God and renewal through Jesus Christ. The story of God’s coming into human life in Jesus Christ The story that the Christian Calendar and Holy Days tells The story of God’s coming into human life in Jesus Christ begins with the promise of renewal and the call to repentance. It continues with the birth of the Christ Child amidst humble humanity and his presentation to all humanity. Jesus Christ is baptized among people who long for and expect a Messiah to bring personal and social redemption and renewal. After defining his mission and the manner of his ministry through prayer and fasting, Jesus speaks and acts among them.

Articles are written from the Roman Catholic perspective; however, most can be used by all Christian denominations for informational purposes. Articles Currently Available: From Hauntings to Hallows: Tracing Halloween Witches, toads and souls of the dead. Definitely Halloween stuff. Most of us know Halloween dates back to pagan harvest celebrations, the end of the year and feasts of the dead. But did you know that All Saints Day and All Souls Day share these pagan roots? And that many notions we now associate with Halloween rose out of practices tied to All Souls Day on Nov. 2? … Turning cartwheels: Tracing the Advent wreath It's Advent: time for turning cartwheels. Centuries ago, before Christianity arrived in northern Europe, farmers lived in fear of winter. In that harsh, northern climate, December days were short and cold, when nothing grew. People feared that the sun would never return from its sojourn south on the horizon. … Purple, Pink, not blue: Tracing the colors of Advent candles Pink and purple, violet and rose.

  • Second Sunday of Easter Cycle a RCL Revised Acts 2:14A, 22-32
    Second Sunday of Easter Cycle A RCL Revised Acts 2:14a, 22-32 After the miracle of tongues on Pentecost (Acts 2:1-13), Peter defended the apostles against the charge of public drunkenness in a speech that contains our passage. Besides the fact that it was much too early for anyone to be drunk (2: 15: the “third hour” or 9 AM), the crowd should know that events of Pentecost, like all of the great events in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, were part of the definite plan of God shown in scripture. Our passage contains the argument that the resurrection of Jesus was prophesied in scripture and was part of this plan: Psalm 16 asserts in verse 10 that God will not allow the one who is faithful (xasid) to see the underworld (Sheol). The author of Luke-Acts took this to be a reference to Christ’s resurrection from the abode of the dead or, in Greek, Hades. Psalm 16 This psalm has much in common with the laments, but in fact does not ask for deliverance so much as it expresses trust that God will protect the psalmist. As such, it is usually classified with the psalms of trust like Psalm 23. The setting of such psalms within the context of temple worship is not clear. 1 Peter 1:3-9 After the address and opening greeting, Greco-Roman letters usually contained a pious ascription or blessing designed to give thanks to the gods for the recipient of the letter. Our passage corresponds to this blessing.
