Directly opposite facing the congregation is the wall with the new painting of the Apostles. The journey of faith we all make begins with the teaching of the Apostles, leads us through Baptism, toward altar and the Apostles guiding us by pulpit and altar to Christ himself pictured so clearly on the three-fold front of the Tabernacle. The lively multi-experiences of all those on the journey are reflected in the multi-colors of the pillars. W e are all connected by Christ with whom we journey, He the vine, we the branches, uniting us in faith, hope, and love connected to the Apostles and one another. O ur newly redone interior, rededicated on June 16, 2013, was the result of a collaboration between our many parishioners, the Intelligent Design Group (architect), the artistic designs of New Guild Studios, and the management and supervision of many craftsmen and technicians by Landau Building Company. I n March 2014, the Landau Building Company, in a category with four other projects, won a first place award from the Master Builders Association in the area of “Excellence in Craftsmanship by a General Contractor” for their work on the renovations at St. Ursula. A fter the extensive renovation to the church, our parish community began asking questions about the Apostles on the Sanctuary wall and wishing to know who they were. We hope your curiosity and questions will be answered after reading the lives of these men and women and how they were changed forever after meeting Jesus Christ.

Peter’s original name was Simon. He was the son of Jonah and was born in Bethsaida, a town on Lake Genesareth. The Apostle Andrew was his brother and the Apostle Philip came from the same town. Both Peter and Andrew were fishermen. When Christ met Simon, He said to him: “Thou art Simon the son of Jonah; thou shalt be called Cephas” ( Jn 1:42) – which is interpreted as Peter. After their first meeting, Peter and the other disciples remained with Jesus and accompanied him to Galilee, Jerusalem, through Samaria and then back to Galilee. Here, Peter once again resumed his occupation as a fisherman but soon afterwards was called by Jesus to become a permanent disciple and fisher of men. P eter is noted in the Bible to have the greatest fidelity and faith. At times he exhibited unwavering faith, yet at other times his faith was greatly shaken. When Jesus asked the apostles, “Who do people say that the son of man is?” they replied, “Some say John the Baptizer, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Simon Peter answered the Lord with, “Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.” The Lord said to him, “Blest art thou, Simon son of Jonah! No mere man has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou are Rock and upon this rock I will build my Church and the jaws of death shall not prevail against it. And I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever you declare bound on earth, it shall be bound also in heaven; and whatever you declare loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.” ( Mt 16:13-19) T here was a time of conflict with Peter during the Passion of the Lord. After Christ was arrested, Peter denied knowing Jesus three times and afterwards he wept bitterly over his betrayal. After Christ’s Resurrection, He appeared to Peter at Lake Genesareth where Peter three times affirmed his special love of Jesus. Peter had a long residence in Jerusalem but when Herod Agrippa I began to persecute the Church in Jerusalem Peter was cast into prison to be executed. Peter was freed in a miraculous manner, some say by an Angel. He then left Jerusalem and made extensive missionary tours to the East. He eventually travelled to Rome for the last part of his life. St. Peter is credited with writing two biblical epistles. Church tradition holds that he suffered martyrdom at the hands of the Roman Emperor Nero. He was believed to have been crucified on a cross, but at his request was hung upside down because he did not believe his was worthy to be crucified in the same manner as Christ. In some pictures of Peter he carries the symbolic “Keys to the Kingdom” as a sign of his leadership in the Church. Peter is the patron of bakers, bridge-builders, butchers and fishermen among many others. The feast of St. Peter is celebrated in memory of the two Apostles Peter and Paul on June 29th. – Article submitted by Joanne Sekerak This article was originally published in the September 2013 Volume 1, Bonus Issue 1a of the Saint U News.

Lincolnwood, Ill.; 4) National Geographic – The Journey of the Apostles – March, 2012; 5) The Catholic Source Book, 2007 THE APOSTLE II: PAUL In the Sanctuary behind the altar to the left of Christ is the Apostle Paul. Paul was born as Saul (his Roman name) in 3 AD at Tarsus, Cilicia, located in what is today southern Turkey. He was the son of Jewish parents who were tent-makers by trade. Saul, who enjoyed the high distinction of Roman citizenship, was brought up according to the strict influential party of the Pharisees. The Pharisees were extremely zealous in their commitment to the Law. They would later oppose and persecute Jesus and His teachings and plot His death. Saul did not get to know Jesus during his early years since he travelled a lot. When he returned to Jerusalem he became a bitter opponent of Jesus and the new Christian religion. The young Saul was present at the stoning death of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, minding the cloaks of those who stoned him. From this gruesome introduction to the completion of his missionary journeys, the Church celebrates the conversion of St. Paul because of its extraordinary nature. B etween the years 34 and 36 AD, Paul travelled to Damascus to arrest another group of Christians. On his journey to Damascus he was knocked to the ground and struck blind by a heavenly light. The special revelation had a profound spiritual effect on him as he heard the words, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” His encounter with Christ would change his life and have a dramatic effect on Christianity. On regaining his sight, Paul was baptized and immediately began preaching. After a three-year period in Arabia where he assimilated his new faith, Paul journeyed with Barnabas on his first missionary journey to preach in Tarsus, Damascus, Antioch and Cyprus. He then went on to preach in Asia Minor, Europe and Ephesus, establishing communities of Christians among the gentiles. Because of his activity he suffered constant harassment among his enemies – enduring shipwreck, imprisonment and beatings. At the same time, he was greatly loved by those Christians to whom he ministered. Churches were set up, and as soon as the little Christian groups seemed strong enough, the apostle and his companions would move on. Between his missions he returned to Jerusalem four times. On his fifth return to Jerusalem Paul was arrested for provoking a riot and held as a prisoner for two years at Caesarea. Paul claimed his right as a Roman citizen to be tried in Rome and was sent by sea to Rome. On the way he was shipwrecked on the island of Malta. Paul was imprisoned (60 AD) in Rome for two years but was allowed to conduct his ministry among the Roman Christians and Jews who visited him. Of his final fate tradition says that he was beheaded south of the city, near the Ostian Way, probably during the persecution of Nero. In his letter to Timothy he wrote, “The time has come for me to go. I have fought the good fight; I have run the race: I have kept the faith. Now I await the crown of justice which the Lord, the just judge, will give to me on that day, and not only to me but to all who long for his coming.” (2 Tm 4:6-22).

  • The Twelve Apostles Lesson 8 Study Notes Philip
    f The Twelve Apostles Lesson 8 Study Notes Philip: The Apostle Who Was Slow-Witted Simon the Canaanite: The Apostle Who Was A Revolutionist Text: John 1:43-45. John 1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Introduction: Philip is always listed as the fifth person in the list of the Apostles. While he may have not been as prominent as the first four men listed; nevertheless, he seems to be the head of the second grouping of the disciples. We must remember that God is of no respecter of persons so, Philip is not to be considered to be of less importance. Although Philip is mentioned in the four complete lists of the twelve (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14; Acts 1:13), it is interesting to observe that John is the only writer to tell us all that is to be said about Philip, yet he is the only one out of the four evangelists who does not quote the list. The first three evangelists give us his name and acquaint us with the fact that he was an apostle, but John loses sight of the dignity of the office that Philip filled and gives us a profile of the man himself with his own individualities and peculiarities.

  • Th E Bells of St. M Ar
    GOD IS GOD IS FEBRUARY 2017 Dear Saint Mary's family, We are off to a good start for 2017. As I write this letter we are just three full weeks in to the new year and already so much is happening. We have held our first Annual Meeting together, and the response has been very posi- tive. At that meeting we were able to make amendments to the church’s By-Laws that will allow us to go forward with a smaller eight person Vestry, all of whom were elected unanimously by the members present at the meeting. At our February Vestry meeting we will vote for a Junior Warden, Treasurer, and Secretary. With that accomplished we will begin the process of looking at all of the different aspects of the way we at Saint Mary’s currently do things. The end goal of that process is to identify and eliminate any barriers to growth that might not have been considered, and to find ways to improve upon many of the things we are already doing well. To that end, please begin to pray to see if God may be calling you to participate in any of the ministries that currently exist at Saint Mary’s. This is going to be a fun and exciting time for us to bond and grow together as we seek to strengthen the teams and look at the ways they function. Ushers and Greeters, the Flower and Altar Guilds, Eucharistic Ministers and Visi- tors… Perhaps you have a special talent or hobby that could be used to the Glory of God and you have never considered how.

  • Emblems of the Four Evangelists
    Emblems of the Four Evangelists THE winged living figures, symbols of the evangelists, which are most frequently met with, and which have ever been most in favour with Early Christian artists, appear to have been used at a very early date. They are taken from the vision of Ezekiel and the Revelation of St. John. "The writings of St. Jerome," says Audsley, "in the beginning of the fifth century gave to artists’ authority for the appropriation of the four creatures to the evangelists," and for reasons which are there given at length. ST. MATTHEW: Winged Man, Incarnation.—To St. Matthew was given the creature in human likeness, because he commences his gospel with the human generation of Christ, and because in his writings the human nature of Our Lord is more dwelt upon than the divine. ST. MARK: Winged Lion, The Resurrection.—The Lion was the symbol of St. Mark, who opens his gospel with the mission of John the Baptist, "the voice of one crying in the wilderness." He also sets forth the royal dignity of Christ and dwells upon His power manifested in the resurrection from the dead. The lion was accepted in early times as a symbol of the resurrection because the young lion was believed always to be born dead, but was awakened to vitality by the breath, the tongue, and roaring of its sire. ST. LUKE: Winged Ox, Passion.—the form of the ox, the beast of sacrifice, fitly sets forth the sacred office, and also the atonement for sin by blood, on which, in his gospel, he particularly dwells.

  • Only One John: the Apostle Who Wrote Five Books
    Supplement to Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed. © 2018 by Mark Allan Powell. All rights reserved. 30.13 Only One John: The Apostle Who Wrote Five Books Most scholars who identify the apostle John with “the Beloved Disciple” are willing to grant that person a role (perhaps limited, perhaps pronounced) in the composition of the Gospel of John. However, the strong tendency in scholarship is to associate the three Johannine Epistles with another person named John and the book of Revelation with yet a third person who bore that name: New Testament Writing To Be Associated with Gospel of John John the apostle 1 John John the elder 2 John John the elder 3 John John the elder Revelation John the seer (otherwise unknown) But a strong minority of scholars contest this. No Need for a Distinct “John the Elder” First, the scholars challenge the contention of Eusebius (fourth- century historian) to the effect that John the apostle and John the elder were two different people. Robert Gundry notes that Eusebius begins by quoting Papias (an early-second-century church leader): Supplement to Introducing the New Testament, 2nd ed. © 2018 by Mark Allan Powell. All rights reserved. “If anyone came who had followed the elders, I inquired into the words of the elders, what Andrew or Peter or Philip or Thomas or James or John or Matthew or any other of the Lord’s disciples had said, and what Aristion and the Elder John, the Lord’s disciples, were saying.” (Papias quoted by Eusebius in Church History 3.39.4) Then Gundry says, Both times that the name John appears, it appears with both the designations “elder” and “the Lord’s disciple.” By contrast, Aristion—even though designated a “Lord’s disciple”—lacks the title “elder” when mentioned alongside John.

  • Meet the Disciples Here’S a Synopsis of the Information the Bible Gives Us About the 12 Disciples
    In a scene from the television series “The Chosen,” Jesus (left) meets brothers Andrew (center) and Simon. Meet the disciples Here’s a synopsis of the information the Bible gives us about the 12 disciples. The more you know about them, the more you can relate to their experiences as they followed Jesus.

The only married disciple, at least esus went up on a mountainside according to what we know from the Gospels. His mother-in-law and called to him those he wanted, was healed by Jesus (Mark 1:30). At Caesarea Philippi (Matthew J 16:13ff), Jesus gave Simon the name Peter, which means “Rock.” and they came to him. He appointed It was here that Jesus also referred to Simon as a “son of Jonah,” twelve that they might be with him and in a less complimentary moment, as “Satan!” See Matthew and that he might send them out to 16:23 for the context.
