  • 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.

  • Prayer in the Life of Saint Francis by Thomas of Celano
    PRAYER IN THE LIFE OF SAINT FRANCIS BY THOMAS OF CELANO J.A. Wayne Hellmann Brother Thomas of Celano,1 upon the request of Pope Gregory IX,2 shortly after the 1228 canonization of Francis of Assisi, wrote The Life of St. Francis.3 In the opening lines, Thomas describes the begin- nings of Francis’s conversion. Thomas writes that Francis, secluded in a cave, prayed that “God guide his way.”4 In the closing lines at the end of The Life, Thomas accents the public prayer of the church in the person of pope. After the canonization Pope Gregory went to Francis’s tomb to pray: “by the lower steps he enters the sanc- tuary to offer prayers and sacrifices.”5 From beginning to end, through- out the text of The Life of St. Francis, the author, Brother Thomas, weaves Francis’s life together through an integrative theology of prayer. To shape his vision of Francis, Thomas, as a hagiographer, moves with multiple theological and literary currents, old and new. At the core of his vision, however, Thomas presents the life of a saint that developed from beginning to end in prayer. To do this, he employs 1 Brother Thomas of Celano was born into the noble family of the Conti dei Marsi sometime between the years of 1185–1190. Celano, the place of his birth, is a small city in the Abruzzi region southeast of Aquila. Thomas may have included himself a reference in number 56 of his text that “some literary men and nobles gladly joined” Francis after his return from Spain in 1215.

Joseph Tobaccoville, NC April 7, 2015 Introduction In our twenty-first century world, it is clear for those who listen to God that Satan is hard at work trying to discredit the authority of God’s Written Word, the Bible. Led by Satan, there are many today who would like everyone to believe that God’s Word is like all other literature, a work of man that is not inspired by a loving Creator who wants the best for His creation. If one accepts this deception, then God’s Word becomes open for individual interpretation allowing personal desires and rationalization to control meaning.

  • 1 European Ethno-Nationalist and White Supremacy Groups Key
    European Ethno-Nationalist and White Supremacy Groups Key Findings • European far-right ethno-nationalist groups have cast immigrants as a scapegoat for economic hardship faced by young Europeans. Rather than promote overt white supremacy, these groups denigrate minorities—particularly Muslim immigrants—as detrimental to European culture. • Far-right political parties like Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland and Italy’s Lega Nord have been able to generate substantial popular support by promising to defend their respective countries against the cultural attacks of immigrants and foreign influences, and have consequently made gains in domestic parliamentary elections. • Groups like Les Identitaires and its youth wing, Generation Identity, have renounced violence in favor of utilizing social media and public demonstrations to portray themselves as legitimate, mainstream movements protecting European culture. These groups have directly targeted Europe’s youth through social media and public demonstrations. • Groups including Combat 18 and the Nordic Resistance Movement, which openly embrace neo-Nazi ideology and violent tactics, are still able to recruit for violent activities, despite the rise of non-violent, populist groups. Executive Summary More than 70 years after the defeat of Nazi Germany, ethno-nationalist and white supremacist movements in Europe continue to thrive. They include far-right political parties, neo-Nazi movements, and apolitical protest groups. Some groups openly espouse violent white supremacy, while others have

  • San Antonio People of Faith Historical Museum Cyprian Plague and The
    San Antonio People of Faith Historical Museum Cyprian Plague and the Emergence of a Saint Pandemic: Worldwide spread of a new disease. --World Health Organization Throughout recorded history, as humans spread throughout the world, so too did infectious diseases. The greater the global growth of large cities and the establishment of more accessible trade routes, as well as the resulting disruption of ecosystems, the greater the likelihood of pandemics. From the first of upwards of 20 major pandemics recorded--the Antonine Plague (165-180 A.D.)--to the current COVID-19 Pandemic, world religions have been deeply impacted and altered by each. For Christians, these effects vary from amazing growth to the near extinction of the faith, with some religious leaders during each episode being vilified, others sanctified. To many, Christianity and the Church have survived because of the faithful who throughout these pandemics served their communities by living their faith from love rather than fear. This was evident during the second recorded pandemic known as the Cyprian Plague, which not only saw a sharp rise in conversions to Christianity, but also would result in the emergence of a saint. Thasius Cyprianus (circa 200 A.D.-258 A.D.) was born to an affluent, pagan family in Carthage, North Africa, a thriving region of the polytheistic Roman Empire. His father was a senator who ensured that his son received the best education. While history does not record a great deal of Cyprian’s childhood, it does show that as a young man he was a powerful orator, a lawyer, and a teacher of rhetoric and philosophy.

What of the man himself? He is often considered a man who was withdrawn from society and is thought to have merely sat alone in his cell, writing famous religious works. However, this is not the case. The events in his life, the activities in which he partook, and the character o f the man himself would not allow for Aquinas to be a man of reclusion. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to prove that Thomas Aquinas was not a recluse. To begin, let us first recognize where most of our information on Thomas Aquinas derives from.

  • Fact Sheet: Sainthood and Father Junipero Serra
    Fact Sheet: Sainthood and Father Junipero Serra During his visit to the United States, Pope Francis is scheduled to canonize Father Junipero Serra, who would be America’s first Latino saint. This will mark the first time that a canonization ceremony has be held on American soil. Who can become a saint? Anyone can become a saint, although the church doesn’t technically make saints. Instead, the church recognizes someone who is in Heaven and whose life is worth imitating. How to Become a Saint: For centuries, the general public chose saints. During the 10th century, however, Pope John Paul XV created an official canonization process. The original version of the canonization process involved a “devil’s advocate,” meaning one who argued in opposition to the candidate in hopes of exposing any flaws. However, Pope John Paul II removed the role of “devil’s advocate” from the process in 1983. The current canonization process is as follows: ! Five years postmortem (unless waived by the Pope), a person can be considered for sainthood. Typically, that person’s priest will submit their case to their bishop. Once someone is officially accepted for sainthood consideration, they become known as a Servant of God. ! The person’s bishop then investigates their life, looking for evidence of heroic virtue in both their personal writings and in witnesses. If the Bishop finds the person to be worthy, they are then submitted to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of Saints. ! The Congregation for the Causes of Saints begins its own investigation of the considered, and if it chooses to approve the person it declares that said person lived a heroic and Catholically virtuous life, making them Venerable.
