AND BENEDICTION Why Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh? Matthew 2 tells us that the magi, or wise men, travelled from the OF THE BLESSED East and upon finding the baby Jesus, “they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh”. SACRAMENT Gold is a precious metal and as such was a very valuable commodity. The Bible does not tell us any other significance to these three gifts; WILL BE FROM NOW ON EVERY however, tradition has a deeper meaning for each of the three. Gold is a symbol of divinity and is mentioned throughout the Bible. Pagan TUESDAY EVENING AT 6:30 PM idols were often made from gold and the Ark of the Covenant was IN THE RE BUILDING. overlaid with gold. The gift of gold to the Christ child was symbolic of His divinity—God in flesh. † This is a great opportunity to spend Frankincense is a white resin or gum, obtained from a tree by making time adoring the Blessed Sacra- incisions in the bark and allowing the gum to flow out. It is highly fragrant when burned and was therefore used in worship as a pleasant ment and to pray for the success offering to God (Exodus 30:34). Frankincense is a symbol of holiness and safety of the construction of and righteousness. The gift of frankincense to the Christ child was symbolic of His willingness to become a sacrifice, wholly giving Him- our church. Thanks, Rev. Darrell self up, analogous to a burnt offering. Myrrh was also a product of Arabia, and was obtained from a tree in the same manner as frankincense. It was a spice and was used in em- balming. It was also sometimes mingled with wine to form an article of drink. Such a drink was given to our Savior when He was about to Thanks for the generous donations of be crucified, as a stupefying potion (Mark 15:23). Matthew our parishioners for the lovely poinset- 27:34 refers to it as “gall.” Myrrh symbolizes bitterness, suffering, and affliction.

    HOLY LAND 2015 Monday 25th May 2015 On way to airport for flight to Holy Land. There's a mix of folks from many parishes but happy to report there's been no fighting......yet! Arrived safely without losing anyone or, strangely, wanting to lose anyone! 34 degrees temp. Straight to hotel for dinner and bed for a 6:30 am start. God have mercy on us! Tuesday 26th May 2015 Mass this morning in Church of The Nativity at St Joseph's altar, the place of his vision of the Angels telling him to flee to Egypt. Veneration of the 'Locus iste'. A need for Ecumenism here. After visit to Church of Ascension, Church of Pater Noster and the Dominus Flavit where Jesus wept over Jerusalem, we spent time looking at the old city seeing features that wouldn't be unfamiliar to Jesus. Then, down to the Garden of Gethsemane for a very emotive visit in baking heat. In short, a very striking first day with some profound silences. It must be gin o'clock now!! Wednesday 27th May 2015 Another early start to local co-operative that helps support around 50 Christian families. I've done my bit on behalf of the parish! All I'll say is: Make sure you're at Mass in a couple of weeks ........! Morning visits to Church of the Dormition of Our Lady and the Cenacle Room (Upper Room) on Mount Sion. Onto the Jewish Quarter which is full of American accents with a smattering of Hebrew. Mass beside the Cenacle. Afternoon visit to St Peter in Gallicantu, the place where Peter denied Jesus.

The routes are planned for those who wish to visit lesser-known sites that still maintain the flavor of the country before the development boom of the last 100 years.

  • 2021 05 28 Grace-Notes-In-Miniature
    Dear friends: As we anticipate the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity on Sunday, and the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Monday, May is certainly going out with a fanfare. 1 The prayers dedicated to the Holy Trinity came into being as a response to the Arian Heresy which held that the Son of God was not eternal with the Father, but rather created by the Father in Time and therefore had to be subordinate. The Ecumenical Council of Nicaea in 325 formally confirmed the doctrine of the Trinity and this is reflected in the Nicene Creed, where we state: I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father… In response to the continuation of Arianism, the Church Fathers introduced an Office for the Holy Trinity, and the Sacramentary of St Gregory the Great (590 – 604) included such an Office and the Preface of the Trinity. In the early fourteenth century, Pope John XXII designated the Sunday after Pentecost as the feast of the Holy Trinity and we continue that practice today. Until the decision was made to move the celebration of Corpus Christi to the following Sunday, that Solemnity would have been celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday. In the home, Trinity Sunday has been celebrated with triangular pastries or rolls shaped like clover leaves or shamrocks. You can find a liturgy for use at home while we wait out our Covid-19 separation from our churches at https://aleteia.org/2020/06/06/how-to-celebrate-trinity- sunday-at-home/ 2 On Monday we celebrate the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering the story of a newly pregnant Mary making a journey into the hill country to visit her older cousin, Elizabeth, who, after many years of longing, is in her sixth month of pregnancy with the child who will be John the Baptist.
