  • 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.

  • HOLY NAME of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST January 1
    SAINT ANDREW THE APOSTLE November 30 A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans (10:8b-18) But what does it say? “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all have obeyed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ. But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have; for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” The Word of the Lord Psalm 19:1-6 The heavens declare the glory of God.

  • Help Us Choose a New Name for Our Parish!
    Help Us Choose A New Name for Our Parish! Please prayerfully and reflectively consider a name for our new parish, keeping in mind that our church buildings will retain their current consecrated names of St. Andrew, St. Conrad, St. Michael the Archangel, St. Paul, and St. Peter. As you think about the name, please consider the criteria below and consider the broader context of our parish: What name would truly inspire us to live our mission in Christ? What name will be a strong, vibrant indicator of whom the parish is now and whom this faith community wants to become in the future? Proposed names should be taken from: Our Lord Jesus Christ, invoked under a mystery of his life or under his name as used in the liturgy or Scripture; The Holy Spirit; The Blessed Virgin Mary under a given title already found in the liturgy; The holy angels; A saint from the list found in the Church’s calendar of memorials and feasts; All names of those who are beatified or name “blessed”. Please avoid the following: A name that is already used many times in the diocese (see list on the back of this paper); Hyphenated names of current parishes (absolutely not permitted); The names of other parishes, Catholic and non-Catholic, in or near the territory of our new parish (because that could cause confusion). Please submit your suggestion any of the following ways: Online at ButlerAreaCatholicParishes.org/merger Email your proposed parish name, rationale and your name to [email protected] Complete this form and mail it to Ms.

  • SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, List of Saints Used in the Coptic Church
    (CE:2171b-2190a) SYNAXARION, COPTO-ARABIC, list of saints used in the Coptic church. [This entry consists of two articles, Editions of the Synaxarion and The List of Saints.] Editions of the Synaxarion This book, which has become a liturgical book, is very important for the history of the Coptic church. It appears in two forms: the recension from Lower Egypt, which is the quasi-official book of the Coptic church from Alexandria to Aswan, and the recension from Upper Egypt. Egypt has long preserved this separation into two Egypts, Upper and Lower, and this division was translated into daily life through different usages, and in particular through different religious books. This book is the result of various endeavors, of which the Synaxarion itself speaks, for it mentions different usages here or there. It poses several questions that we cannot answer with any certainty: Who compiled the Synaxarion, and who was the first to take the initiative? Who made the final revision, and where was it done? It seems evident that the intention was to compile this book for the Coptic church in imitation of the Greek list of saints, and that the author or authors drew their inspiration from that work, for several notices are obviously taken from the Synaxarion called that of Constantinople. The reader may have recourse to several editions or translations, each of which has its advantages and its disadvantages. Let us take them in chronological order. The oldest translation (German) is that of the great German Arabist F. Wüstenfeld, who produced the edition with a German translation of part of al-Maqrizi's Khitat, concerning the Coptic church, under the title Macrizi's Geschichte der Copten (Göttingen, 1845).

    Homily for the Diocesan Healthcare Convocation Mass Feast of Saint Matthias, Apostle Saint Viator Chapel Catholic Pastoral Center Springfield, Illinois May 14, 2019 Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki Bishop of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois Reverend Fathers, distinguished guests, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is a pleasure to join with you today as we gather for this Diocesan Healthcare Convocation Mass on this Feast of the Apostle, Saint Matthias. Moreover, during this National Hospital Week, it is fitting that that we should come together to give thanks and praise to the Lord for the many blessings that he has bestowed upon us and to pray for those whom you serve in your roles as healthcare professionals here in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. Just a few moments ago we heard in our first reading that, during the days after the Ascension, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers, about 120 of Jesus’ followers. Since Judas had betrayed our Lord, it was necessary, Peter said, to fulfill the scriptural recommendation that another should take his office. 2 So they nominated two men, one of whom was Matthias. We might ask, though: what qualified Matthias to his place among the twelve? Obviously, he was suited for apostleship by the experience of being with Jesus from His baptism to His ascension. Additionally, he must also have been suited personally, or he would not have been nominated for such a great responsibility. Saint John Chrysostom wrote in a homily he gave on the Acts of the Apostles, that “one of these must be made a witness along with us of his resurrection.
