COLLECT 13 ITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING L Exodus 20:1-17 En aquellos días, el Señor promulgó estos preceptos para su pueblo en el monte Sinaí, diciendo: "Yo soy el Señor, tu Dios, que te sacó de la tierra de Egipto y de la esclavitud. No tendrás otros dioses fuera de mí; no te fabricarás ídolos ni imagen alguna de lo que hay arriba, en el cielo, o abajo, en la tierra, o en el agua, y debajo de la tierra. No adorarás nada de eso ni le rendirás culto, porque yo, el Señor, tu Dios, soy un Dios celoso, que castiga la maldad de los padres en los hijos hasta la tercera y cuarta generación de aquellos que me odian; pero soy misericordioso hasta la milésima generación de aquellos que me aman y cumplen mis mandamientos. No harás mal uso del nombre del Señor, tu Dios, porque no dejará el Señor sin castigo a quien haga mal uso de su nombre. Acuérdate de santificar el sábado. Seis días trabajarás y en ellos harás todos tus quehaceres; pero el día séptimo es día de descanso, dedicado al Señor, tu Dios. No harás en él trabajo alguno, ni tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu esclavo, ni tu esclava, ni tus animales, ni el forastero que viva contigo. Porque en seis días hizo el Señor el cielo, la tierra, el mar y cuanto hay en ellos, pero el séptimo, descansó. Por eso bendijo el Señor el sábado y lo santificó. Honra a tu padre y a tu madre para que vivas largos años en la tierra que el Señor, tu Dios, te va a dar. No matarás. No cometerás adulterio. No robarás. No darás falso testimonio contra tu prójimo. No codiciarás la casa de tu prójimo, ni a su mujer, ni a su esclavo, ni a su esclava, ni su buey, ni su burro ni cosa alguna que le pertenezca''.

  • Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018
    Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2018 Conforming to General Convention 2018 1 Preface Christians have since ancient times honored men and women whose lives represent heroic commitment to Christ and who have borne witness to their faith even at the cost of their lives. Such witnesses, by the grace of God, live in every age. The criteria used in the selection of those to be commemorated in the Episcopal Church are set out below and represent a growing consensus among provinces of the Anglican Communion also engaged in enriching their calendars. What we celebrate in the lives of the saints is the presence of Christ expressing itself in and through particular lives lived in the midst of specific historical circumstances. In the saints we are not dealing primarily with absolutes of perfection but human lives, in all their diversity, open to the motions of the Holy Spirit. Many a holy life, when carefully examined, will reveal flaws or the bias of a particular moment in history or ecclesial perspective. It should encourage us to realize that the saints, like us, are first and foremost redeemed sinners in whom the risen Christ’s words to St. Paul come to fulfillment, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” The “lesser feasts” provide opportunities for optional observance. They are not intended to replace the fundamental celebration of Sunday and major Holy Days. As the Standing Liturgical Commission and the General Convention add or delete names from the calendar, successive editions of this volume will be published, each edition bearing in the title the date of the General Convention to which it is a response.

  • The Making of the Book of Kells: Two Masters and Two Campaigns
    The making of the Book of Kells: two Masters and two Campaigns Vol. I - Text and Illustrations Donncha MacGabhann PhD Thesis - 2015 Institute of English Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London 1 Declaration: I hereby declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at any other university, and that it is entirely my own work. _________________________________ Donncha MacGabhann 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the number of individuals involved in the making of the Book of Kells. It demonstrates that only two individuals, identified as the Scribe-Artist and the Master-Artist, were involved in its creation. It also demonstrates that the script is the work of a single individual - the Scribe-Artist. More specific questions are answered regarding the working relationships between the book’s creators and the sequence of production. This thesis also demonstrates that the manuscript was created over two separate campaigns of work. The comprehensive nature of this study focuses on all aspects of the manuscript including, script, initials, display-lettering, decoration and illumination. The first part of chapter one outlines the main questions addressed in this thesis. This is followed by a summary of the main conclusions and ends with a summary of the chapter- structure. The second part of chapter one presents a literature review and the final section outlines the methodologies used in the research. Chapter two is devoted to the script and illumination of the canon tables. The resolution of a number of problematic issues within this series of tables in Kells is essential to an understanding of the creation of the manuscript and the roles played by the individuals involved.

  • Pope Leaves Mozambique Urging Reconciliation, Care for One Another
    Pope leaves Mozambique urging reconciliation, care for one another MAPUTO, Mozambique (CNS) — When Jesus told his disciples to love one another and pray for their enemies, he meant it — even disciples in a nation like Mozambique, where political tensions have led to violence, war and death, Pope Francis said. The pope ended his visit to Mozambique Sept. 6 with a visit to a health center founded to care for people living with HIV/AIDS and with a Mass nearby in Maputo’s Zimpeto Stadium, where a late winter rain fell intermittently. Bernadete Silva Fungalane came to the Mass from the Diocese of Pemba, in the northern Cabo Delgado province, where outbreaks of violent killings and pillaging have terrorized the population for the past few years. Wearing a headwrap and a skirt made of blue fabric with the pope’s image, she told Catholic News Service that the pope “can help stop the violence, first of all because he unites people. His words about reconciliation are very important for our people.” Before the recitation of the rosary began 90 minutes before the pope’s arrival, Silva Fungalane said, she knew in her heart that she would receive a blessing being at Mass and “all Mozambique will be blessed.” In his homily, Pope Francis insisted Jesus’ message about love and turning the other cheek was not simply a lovely platitude, but a call to courage and strength and trust in God alone. Jesus “is talking about specific enemies, real enemies, the kind he described” in the beatitudes: “those who hate us, exclude us, revile us and defame us,” the pope said.

Note N. 1 Mr. Ambassador, Considering that the Agreement on the Employment of Dependents of Diplomatic and Consular Personnel, signed on July 8, 1987 between the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil and the Government of the United States of America (“the Agreement”), stipulates in paragraph 8 that the Agreement is valid for a period of 6 (six) years and can be renewed for an equal period of time, by an understanding between both parties. 2.

Furthermore, considering the importance of this Agreement to the families of the employees from our respective countries, I have the honor to propose to Your Excellency an amendment to paragraph 3 of the Agreement to add the following: “;(e) accredited domestic partners” following the phrase “physical or mental handicaps”. 5. If the Government of the United States agrees with this proposal, this Note and a Note of response by Your Excellency, which expresses your agreement with the proposal, will constitute an amendment to the Agreement which shall enter into force on the date of Your Excellency’s Note in reply.
