Presentation of the Preaching Activity in the Greek-Catholic Church in Slovakia E-Theologos, Vol. 2, No. 1 DOI 10.2478/v10154-011-0007-0 Presentation of the Preaching Activity in the Greek-Catholic Church in Slovakia Ľubomír Petrík University of Prešov in Prešov, Greek-Catholic Theological Faculty Introduction The Greek-Catholic Church in Slovakia in an integral and living constitu- ent of the Catholic Church. It is characteristic for the Byzantine rite 1, which is one of the eastern rites. It is used by the Orthodox and the Melchits. In the Slovak republic, according to the census conducted in 2001, the Greek-Catholic Church with the number of its faithful reaching 219 831, was the third largest church after the Roman-Catholic and the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession. 2 On 30 January 2008, Holy Father Benedict XVI elevated the Greek- Catholic Church to the status of metropolitan church sui iuris with its seat in Prešov. He elevated the Prešov eparchy to the status of archeparchy and the seat of the metropolia, the apostolic excharchy in Košice to the status of eparchy and founded a new Bratislava eparchy by its detaching from the Prešov eparchy. He named Ján Babjak SJ, then the Prešov eparch vladyka, to be the first Prešov metropolitan archbishop, exarch vladyka Milan Chautur CSsR, then the Košice exarch, to be the first Košice eparch, and a priest and the protopresbyter (protopriest) in Bratislava, father Peter Rusnák, to be the first Bratislava eparch. Thereby, a new period in the history of the Greek-Catholic Church in Slovakia began. The priests of the Greek-Catholic Church in Slovakia realise that “faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ“ (Romans 10, 17). Therefore, they preach not only on Sundays and feast days but they have a short speech every day. 3 1 Individual confessions and rites in the Catholic Church have been denoted as confessio- nal since 1993. See in: VASIĽ, C.: Naša sebaidentifikácia. In: Gréckokatolícky kalendár 2010 . Košice : Byzant, s. r. o., 2009, p. 23. 2 In May 2011, there will be a new census. 3 See in: Circular 4/2004 . Prešov : Gréckokatolícke biskupstvo Prešov, 2004, p. 2, point n. 3: “We ask the priests to have at least a short speech to the faithful during the liturgy even on 67 E-Theologos, Vol. 2, No. 1 DOI 10.2478/v10154-011-0007-0 The Greek-Catholic Church is specific for instance in terms of rite, li- turgy, its spirituality, and also its history. In a way, this is reflected also in the preaching activity of the Greek-Catholic priests in Slovakia. This activi- ty leans on the papal documents and the documents of the Catholic Church on which it is based. Homily Church emphasises one kind of sermon, a homily , which is the purest form of the sermon. „By means of the homily the mysteries of the faith and the guiding principles of the Christian life are expounded from the sacred text, during the course of the liturgical year; the homily, therefore, is to be highly esteemed as part of the liturgy itself; in fact, at those Masses which are celebrated with the assistance of the people on Sundays and feasts of obligation, it should not be omitted except for a serious reason“ (SC 52; see in: CCEO, can. 607 and can. 616). It is necessary to understand the term of the sermon in its broader sense as the term of the homily, which is a specifically determined prea- ching. Therefore, both terms are used in this lecture. Generally, it is po- ssible to refer to the homily as to the sermon, but not every sermon is the homily. At the fullest form of sermon, however, we prefer the term homi- ly , so that there is no confusion which would not respect the fundamental difference between the homily and the sermon. The homily is defined as a sermon, based on the holy text, which had been read from the Holy Gospel or the liturgical text, while taking into consideration the celebrated mystery and specific needs of the listeners. 4 Of course, there are also topical and periodic sermons for various topics. They are not completely excluded but the homily has an exclusive posi- tion. Unless there is a serious reason, it cannot be omitted on Sundays and feast days (see in: CCEO, can. 614, §2). Especially due to the fact that it is flexible and adaptable, it is possible to inform the people about any topic. Therefore, Holy Father Benedict XVI even speaks about "thematic" homi- lies which treat the great themes of the Christian faith, on the basis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church .5 So the homily is not only the exegesis of the biblical text, but it is connected with the application for the concre te life of the people. The application has also the social context. (see in: CCEO, can. 616, especially §2). But the kerygma in the preacher’s activity cannot be lost! “But priestly preaching is often very difficult in the circum- ordinary days. It should be matterofcourse that a sermon, either in the form of short homily or a short speech, is a part of every celebrated holy liturgy. On ordinary days it is sufficient to speak shortly 3 – 5 minutes.“ 4 See in: VRABLEC, J.: . Homiletika. Trnava : SSV v CN Bratislava, 1987, p. 31 – 32. 5 BENEDICT XVI.: Sacramentum caritatis. Post-synodal apostolic exhortation. Trnava : SSV, 2007, 46. 68 E-Theologos, Vol. 2, No. 1 DOI 10.2478/v10154-011-0007-0 stances of the modern world. In order that it might more effectively move men's minds, the word of God ought not to be explained in a general and abstract way, but rather by applying the lasting truth of the Gospel to the particular circumstances of life“ (PO 4). The homily does not deal with several thoughts, or topics, usually it concentrates on one idea, or one topic. It is expected from the homily to go in depth rather than in width. Homily is always an integral part of the Liturgy itself. It can only be prea- ched by the bishop and the priest, possibly the deacon, and its time is after the reading from the Holy Gospel. A homily these days should be a response for a modern day man who is influenced by such phenomena as desacralisation, dechristianisation, secularism, the crisis of faith. It is still valid that homily is, as its name sug- gests, an informal conversation. That means that it must be, both in form and content, open to the listeners and must be presented in a simple and engaging way, it must be visual so that even the most onefold listener can understand it. However, that does not mean, that it can be superficial in its form and shallow and unprepared in its content. In article 46 of the po- stsynodal apostolic exhortation Sacramentum caritatis, Holy Father Bene dict XVI writes the following in relation to homily: „Given the importance of the word of God, the Quality of homilies needs to be improved.“ 6 Thus the Pope, in a subtle language of a papal document, suggests that the cur- rent homiletic practice has its flaws.7 “The homily is «part of the liturgical action», and is meant to foster a deeper understanding of the word of God, so that it can bear fruit in the lives of the faithful. Hence ordained minis- ters must «prepare the homily carefully, based on an adeQuate knowledge of Sacred Scripture». Generic and abstract homilies should be avoided.“ 8 Prayers before spreading the word of God As far as prayer is concerned, it is immensely important for the priest so that he might stay faithful to Christ and his Church at the preaching activity. “The service to the word reQuires from the priest a deep depersonalization according to the example of Paul’s words: « It is no longer I who live, but 6 BENEDICT XVI.: Sacramentum caritatis. Post-synodal apostolic exhortation. Trnava : SSV, 2007, 46. 7 On Thursday 14 June 2007, on the fourth day of the visit Ad limina apostolorum the bish- ops from Slovakia started their work programme by visiting the Congregation for the Divine Cult and the Discipline of the Sacraments. Its prefect at the time was Cardinal Francis Arinze, who appart from other things pointed out the need and significance of a Quality homily that should, according to him, last about 10 minutes and not more. See in: KOVÁČIK, J. – HAĽKO, J. – GRADOŠ, J.: Slovenskí biskupi v Ríme. K apoštolským prahom. In: Slovo. Časopis gréckokatolíckej cirkvi.

Ratzinger, reQuires from the priest participation in the kenosis of Christ – that is immersing and rising up in Christ.“ 9 That, however, does not mean a personal non-alignment but rather finding oneself and the community with the person of the Gospel. In compliance with the example of St. John the Baptist, it is also the task of the priest to “be the voice for the Word“. 10 That is why it is necessary that the priest put his preaching activity in a prayer so that it would be, in a way, its constituent, and so that the prayer would be where he looks for an ideal placement of his persona in the process of spreading.

Author: Weston, Jennifer Ann Title: The Spirit of the Page: Books and Readers at the Abbey of Fécamp, c. 1000-1200 Issue Date: 2015-03-10 Chapter 5 Books for Selective Reading at Fécamp The presence of navigational reading aids in eighteen manuscripts from the Fécamp corpus are suggestive of a reader who needed to locate specific chapters of the book, and, therefore, indicate a mode of reading that was different from the comprehensive approach of lectio divina. The present chapter aims to find an appropriate context of use for these navigational reading aids in the Benedictine monastery. Over the course of this chapter, I examine three book-types from the Fécamp corpus that contain reading aids: Giant Bibles, Gospel Books, and patristic texts. Moreover, I identify three settings where these books (equipped with navigation) would have been used: during the celebration of the liturgy (the Mass and Divine Office), during meal-time reading in the refectory, and during the evening gathering of Collation. Indeed, just as the Fécamp scribes designed many of their books to suit the practice of lectio divina (as shown in Part One of this study), it seems that they also custom-designed some of their books to accommodate a second mode of devotional reading. ! ! 1. Bibles with Navigation There are two Giant Bibles from the Fécamp corpus that include navigational reading aids: Rouen 1 and Rouen 7. As noted in the previous chapter, both books are presented in a large format and each contain a large collection of books from the Old and New Testament: Rouen 1 contains all but the Gospels, and Rouen 7 contains the Old Testament and the Gospels.1 The presence of navigational reading aids in these two Bibles (in the form of chapter tables and running titles) suggest that both of these volumes were designed to support searching and finding throughout the volume.

  • What Is the Roman Missal?
    Roman Missal Bulletin Insert Series #1 WHAT IS THE ROMAN MISSAL? Book of the Gospels (Evangeliary) for the scripture readings, and additional books for the chants and antiphons. Slight changes and additions developed as manuscripts were handed on and hand scribed. Eventually the chants, scripture readings, prayer texts, and instructions were compiled into a single volume, the Missale Plenum (complete Missal). When Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable printing press in 1470, this allowed the Mass texts to become standardized and published universally. In 1474, the first Missale Romanum (Roman Missal) was printed in Latin and the texts contained in this volume evolved over the five ensuing centuries. Because the amount of scripture proclaimed at Mass increased following the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), the Missal was divided into two separate books so that its size would not be overwhelming. The Sacramentary contained the instructions (rubrics), the prayers (the Gloria, the Creed, the Eucharistic Prayer, the Our Father, etc.), Over the past several months, you may have and the chants and dialogues (the entrance heard a lot about the revised translation of antiphons, The Lord be with you, etc.).

  • The General Instruction of the Roman Missal Introduction
    THE GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROmAN mISSAL INTRODUCTION 1. As christ the Lord was about to celebrate with the disciples the paschal supper in which he insti- tuted the Sacrifice of hisb ody and blood, he commanded that a large, furnished upper room be prepared (Lk 22:12). indeed, the church has always judged that this command also applied to herself whenever she decided about things related to the disposition of people’s minds, and of places, rites and texts for the celebration of the Most holy eucharist. the present norms, too, prescribed in keeping with the will of the Second vatican council, together with the new Missal with which the church of the roman rite will henceforth celebrate the Mass, are again a demonstration of this same solicitude of the church, of her faith and her unaltered love for the supreme mystery of the eucharist, and also attest to her continu- ous and consistent tradition, even though certain new elements have been introduced. Testimony of an Unaltered Faith 2. The sacrificial nature of the Mass, solemnly defended by thec ouncil of trent, because it accords with the universal tradition of the church,1 was once more stated by the Second vatican council, which pronounced these clear words about the Mass: “at the Last Supper, our Savior instituted the eucharistic Sacrifice of his body and blood, by which the Sacrifice of his cross is perpetuated until he comes again; and till then he entrusts the memorial of his Death and resurrection to his beloved spouse, the church.”2 What is taught in this way by the council is consistently expressed in the formulas of the Mass.

We commit ourselves to welcoming and caring for all of God's children. We are a parish of the Byzantine Ruthenian Catholic Eparchy of Parma, an eparchy of the Byzantine Ruthenian Metropolitan Church sui iuris of Pittsburgh. Bishop Milan (Lach) of Parma is our bishop. Archbishop William (Skurla) of Pittsburgh is our Metropolitan. We are in communion with our holy father Francis, the Pope of Rome. “We are Catholics with the common heritage of our Orthodox brothers but in unity with the Holy Father in Rome.” – Bishop Milan The miraculous Icon of Our Lady of Klokočov celebrates its 350th anniversary this year, and the Eparchy of Parma is blessed with our own copy of the icon. In the Eparchy of Mukačevo, there were three miraculously weeping icons of the most holy Theotokos, venerated with great devotion and love. Our holy mother, seeing the sufferings of oppressed people, sympathized with them in a visible manner, miraculously shedding tears in various places. This first occurred in 1670 when, through her weeping icon in the small village of Klokočov (in present-day Slovakia), Mary showed her protection over the peasants suffering from the war between the Protestant noblity and the Catholic Royal House of Habsburg.
