  • 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.

    Liturgical Calendar DECEMBER 2017 LECTIONARY FOR SUNDAYS: YEAR B ADVENT Advent has a twofold character: as a season to prepare for Christmas, when Christ’s first coming to us is remembered; and as a season when that remembrance directs the mind and heart to await Christ’s Second Coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a period for devout and joyful expectation. The playing of the organ and other musical instruments, and the decoration of the altar with flowers should be done in a moderate manner, as is consonant with the character of the season, without anticipating the full joy of the Nativity of the Lord. The same moderation should be observed in the celebration of Matrimony. Eucharistic Prayer 4 is not used in this Season.

  • Diocesan Calendar for East Anglia 2021
    Diocesan Calendar 2021 161 DIOCESAN CALENDAR FOR EAST ANGLIA 2021 “Christ’s saving work is celebrated in sacred memory by the Church on fixed days throughout the course of the year. Each week on the day called the Lord’s Day the Church commemorates the Lord’s resurrection. Once a year at Easter the Church honours the resurrection of the Lord and his blessed passion with the utmost solemnity. In fact, through the yearly cycle the Church unfolds the entire mystery of Christ and keeps the anniversaries of the saints.” (GNLY 1) Preliminary Notes n This Calendar is based on the GENERAL ROMAN CALENDAR, the NATIONAL CALEN­ DAR as contained in the Roman Missal (2010) and the revised DIOCESAN CALENDAR. n The titular and anniversary of dedication of each church are kept as Solemnities. Lest they be overlooked, it is advisable to mark them in this Calendar. n Local observances are permitted of Saints or Beati connected in some way with the locality, as through birth, ministry, death, or custody of major relics. The Bishop should be consulted in each instance. n On the ‘green’ ferias per annum (of the year) a wide choice of Mass formula is available: EITHER of any of the 34 Sundays per annum (with the prayers of the Sunday selected, or of another Sunday, or those provided ad diversa), OR of any Saint mentioned on that day in the Martyrology, OR of any votive Mass or Mass ad diversa, OR of any Mass for the dead (provided that the daily Mass formula is only used when the Mass is, in fact, applied for the dead).

  • What Is a Confirmation Name?
    What is a confirmation name? Perhaps a confirmation name is best thought of as a name that God – and only God – calls you by. It is not a name that other people call you by, like a baptismal name. Ideally, a confirmation name should be the name of a saint whom you know something about, or who inspires you, or whose virtues you want to imitate. It is the name of a saint who will accompany you through life. Lastly, it is a reminder of the day of your confirmation, when you were anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit. Some saints’ names, with summaries of their lives, are given here. Many different saints share the same name, e.g. St. John the Evangelist and St. John Bosco. You may have one of these other names in mind when you choose your saint, and a selection of these is given at the end of the book. CONFIRMATION SAINTS’ NAMES FOR BOYS Aidan St. Aidan of Lindisfarne was an Irish monk and missionary, born around 590. He founded a monastic cathedral on the island of Lindisfarne, served as its first bishop, and travelled ceaselessly throughout the countryside, spreading the gospel to both the Anglo-Saxon nobility and to the socially disenfranchised. He is known as ‘The Apostle of Northumbria’. Aidan died in 651. A modern biography of him is ‘Flame of my heart – St. Aidan for Today’, by David Adam. St. Aidan’s feastday is 31st August. Albert St. Albert, known as ‘St. Albert the Great’, was born around 1200.

  • The Canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales the Cause
    The Canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales The cause for the canonisation of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, which eventually took place on 25 October 1970, had its roots in the mid-19th Century when, following the restoration of the Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales in 1850, Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman and Cardinal Henry Manning, successive Archbishops of Westminster from 1850 until 1892, led a campaign for the recognition of those who had been Martyred for the faith. Just a year previously, in 1849, Frederick William Faber had written the rousing hymn Faith of Our Fathers in memory of the Martyrs. Born and raised an Anglican, Faber converted and was ordained a Priest later becoming an Oratorian Father, the congregation founded by St Philip Neri to which St John Henry Newman also belonged. By 1935 nearly two hundred Reformation Martyrs had been beatified, earning the title ‘Blessed’, but only two, John Fisher and Thomas More, had been canonised; both on 19 May 1935 by Pope Pius XI. Following the end of the Second World War, the cause, which had been largely dormant for some years, was gradually revived and, in December 1960, the names of thirty four English and six Welsh Martyrs were submitted to the Sacred Congregation of Rites by Cardinal William Godfrey, Archbishop of Westminster. All of these had been Martyred between 1535 and 1679. The list of names was drawn up in consultation with the Bishops of England and Wales and an attempt was made to ensure the list reflected a spread of social status and religious rank, together with a geographical spread and the existence of a well-established devotion.
