This verse from today’s Gospel is often seen on signs at football Ken Danchik games and sporting events – and rightly so because this single verse Associate Organist reminds us that the heart of the Gospel is God's love and our belief. [email protected] But there’s more to today's Gospel than that. What we have here is Beverly Farinelli Nicodemus, who was a member of the social class that as a group most Wedding Coordinator opposed Jesus, but who finds himself drawn to Jesus and so meets with [email protected] him secretly in order to avoid trouble and who later becomes a Don Fellows committed disciple and courageous defender of Jesus. We all feel like Director of Music and Organist that sometimes: we feel drawn to Jesus but are not so open about our [email protected] faith because we live in a culture where many don’t share our beliefs; Erica Gamerro we feel uncomfortable, embarrassed, we don’t want to draw attention Pastoral Associate to our faith or be responded to with ridicule or hostility. [email protected] Eileen Lancos Well, in the case of his dialogue with Nicodemus, Jesus uses all sorts of Sacristan images to make three basic points: 1.) the necessity of being born again Jean Malek in order to live a new life in the Spirit; 2.) the sacrifice of Jesus which Parish Secretary brings salvation to believers; and 3.) God's immense love for the world, [email protected] which he expresses by giving us his Son and to which the only Christina McCann appropriate response is for us to now love others as Jesus does, Wedding Coordinator becoming ourselves channels of God's love for the world. Notice that [email protected] when Jesus says that the Son of God is light for the world, he’s talking Mike Pittek about judging the world, not just making things bright and sunny. He’s Office Manager talking about bringing to light things that we’re ashamed of and want to [email protected] keep hidden. And yet his purpose is not to condemn the world, but Terri Taormina rather to set things right because if nothing changes, all will indeed be Director for Religious Education lost. God has intervened out of love (“God so loved the world”) and by [email protected] responding to that love, by aligning ourselves with God and his way of Ted Wojcik doing things (“whoever believes in him”) we are saved who otherwise Sacristan would be headed to perdition. Greg Zigray Business Manager The two operative concepts are God’s love and our belief. Love is God’s [email protected] very nature, and it should be our nature too since we were created in the image and likeness of God, but unfortunately our nature has been broken by sin. Hence the importance of belief. When Jesus says “whoever believes” he’s not talking about merely the acceptance of a QUOTES OF THE WEEK series of correctly articulated dogmas like we find in the Creed or the catechism, though these are important and helpful. But what Jesus is really talking about is where our heart is, how we live our lives, our will “Your accumulated offenses conformed to God's will, basing every decision on the answer to the do not surpass the multitude question, “what would Jesus do?” because it is in him that we have eternal life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so of God's mercies: your wounds that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have do not surpass the great eternal life.” Physician's skill.” FROM THE HEART OF OUR PASTOR, FATHER STUBNA ~ Saint Cyril of Jerusalem WE WILL CELEBRATE THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CATHEDRAL’S TELEVISION MINISTRY this Tuesday, March 17.

  • Sermon Preached by Rev'd Glenn Maytum MID LENT MOTHERING
    Sermon preached by Rev’d Glenn Maytum MID LENT MOTHERING SUNDAY, 22nd March, 2020. Did you know last Friday was “World Happiness Day”? It may have slipped past you, unnoticed. The timing of that day is interesting, to me, because the Sundays in Lent and Advent have never been regarded as fasting days and Mid Lent and Mid Advent were, from the earliest times, celebrated with a sense of light- heartedness. Welcome to Laetare Sunday. This is the fourth Sunday of Lent, mid-Lent, and the name comes from Isaiah 66:10, where we read “O be joyful Jerusalem” (in Latin, “Laetare, Jerusalem”). You will find in many places the priest will wear rose coloured vestments. The change of colour from severe Purple to brighter Rose provides encouragement to continue our spiritual journey through Lent. This Sunday is also known as Refreshment Sunday or, especially in England, Mothering Sunday. It is a day of relaxation from normal Lenten disciplines and a day of hope as we look towards Easter. Mothering Sunday began as an explicitly religious event in the 16th century, with no connection to “mothers”, at all. The word ‘mothering’ referred to the “mother church”, the main church or cathedral of the region. It became the tradition that, on the fourth Sunday of Lent, people would return to their mother church for a special service. From this, the custom grew up in medieval times for children away from home (working as domestics, apprentices, etc) to return to visit their parents and for older servants to be given a special holiday for the same purpose.

    Newsletter The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross Vol 1 No 2 2 April 2020 Passiontide The Ordinary’s Message We are not yet two weeks into the effective shut- down of group gatherings as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. In some ways it seems even longer than just that; however, we should be prepared for a much longer “new normal” with perhaps even stricter levels of isolation and/or Inside This Issue confinement that may persist for months. Page 2 But even as some might be beginning to experience feelings of cabin From the Philippines fever, have we noticed a few blessings? There is much less traffic Page 4 and the noise associated with it; in particular, far fewer airline flights, “Signs of Hope” a reprint from so many of which fly directly over us here in Homebush as they NCR (EWTN) arrive or leave the Sydney airport. And yet, the sound of silence, Page 7 much as it can be helpful to times of prayer, contemplation and Let’s get our patrons correct meditation, can also border on eerie. We live adjacent to a small, but normally well-used park, at the end of which is a day-care facility. I Page 8 miss the hum and noise of the cheerful laughter and yes, shouting, of Prayer for the Suffering children at play. Happily, while humanity is on a pandemically imposed “hold” the natural world continues as ever. The novelty for my wife and I, of the varied sounds of the sub-tropical birds, so much louder than the temperate zone birds of Canada, tell us that, while we humans effectively are holding our breath, the buzz of life otherwise continues.

  • Liturgical Colors
    St. Alban’s Altar Guild Manual SECTION V LITURGICAL COLORS Uploaded August 2019 St. Alban’s Altar Guild Manual LITURGICAL COLORS Stoles, chasubles, and altar hangings all follow a color pattern that reflects what is going on in the liturgical calendar.

Symbolizes hope, life, our growth in faith. Used on First Sunday after the Epiphany until Ash Wednesday, The Second Sunday after Pentecost until the Last Sunday after Pentecost. Red Used at Pentecost, to comMeMorate the Holy Spirit’s coming with fire to the apostles and for the comMeMoration of martyrs and other saints. Red is also the color for Confirmation and Ordinations.

  • 10 Am Sermon and Readings for Mothering Sunday- 14Th March 2021
    Mothering Sunday Today Mothering Sunday is a popular day when Christians choose to use the occasion to think about all things which concern motherhood. We give thanks for the Church as Mother, the Virgin Mary as the mother of Jesus, we remember that God cares for us like a mother and last but not least we give thanks for our own mothers. Mothering Sunday is the fourth Sunday in Lent and it is a time of special for thanksgiving. Sunday is the one day of joy in Lent, when flowers abound in all churches and when people are allowed a time off from the penitential season. It is also known as Mid-Lent Sunday, Refreshment Sunday or Laetare Sunday. The Latin name of Laetare, means rejoice. Today we come to see the Fourth Sunday of Advent as a time to relax a little – lighten up – and we use this day to celebrate what the world has come to call ‘Mother’s Day’ – which is a wonderful thing to celebrate of course – we were all born of mothers - and if you are a mother and you have your children around you who share the spirit of the day with you then all is well. But it is not like that for some – we are born of mothers but not everyone has had a blessed mothering experience – for some of us our mothers have sadly died and while we give thanks we miss them – some do not have a good relationship with their children and are estranged from them for one reason or another – and for others sadly, their children have died and today is about holding them on their hearts and memories and trusting that they are with us somehow and we keep their memory alive in our remembering – being grateful for the joy of having them in our lives but sad that they are not here today.

  • Wrence Parish
    St. Lawrence Martyr Church 2210 Lawrence Ave E. Scarborough , Ontario, M1P 2P9 https://stlawrencemartyr.archtoronto.org Tel No. 416-759-9359 March 14, 2021 – 4 th Sunday of Lent St. Lawrence Martyr Church March 14, 2021 – 4th Sunday of Lent LAETARE SUNDAY Most Catholics today are used to the Mass being conducted in English, and they hardly ever think about the fact that Latin remains the official language of the Catholic Church. But occasionally, Latin reasserts itself, as it does in the case of Laetare Sunday. Laetare Sunday is the popular name for the Fourth Sunday in Lent. Laetare means "Rejoice" in Latin, and the Introit (entrance antiphon) in both the Traditional Latin Mass and the Novus Ordo is Isaiah 66:10-11, which begins "Laetare, Jerusalem" ("Rejoice, O Jerusalem"). Because the midpoint of Lent is the Thursday of the third week of Lent, Laetare Sunday has traditionally been viewed as a day of celebration, on which the austerity of Lent is briefly lessened. The passage from Isaiah continues, "rejoice with joy, you that have been in sorrow," and on Laetare Sunday, the purple vestments and altar cloths of Lent are set aside, and rose ones are used instead. Flowers, which are normally forbidden during Lent, may be placed on the altar. Laetare Sunday is also known as Rose Sunday or Refreshment Sunday, and it has a counterpart in Advent: Gaudete Sunday, the Third Sunday of Advent, when purple vestments are exchanged for rose ones. The point of both days is to provide us encouragement as we progress toward the end of each respective penitential season.

  • Lent A4 BCP Sermon
    A Homily by “Today is Refreshment Sunday” The Rev’d Jo Popham Fourth Sunday in Lent – BCP Sermon April 3, 2011 Galatians 4:26–5:1 [Interestingly, the day I wrote this sermon the house of Bishops was meeting in the US. Their daily study topic was “Who is my neighbour? Islam and Christianity.” What a day to be researching how to speak about Hagar and Sarah who both bore sons to Abraham to whom Judaism and Islam trace their heritage. I think that is probably the subject to be explored in a Lenten series. Today I want to talk about this Sunday in Lent.] The fourth Sunday of Lent is unique; it is a break in an otherwise penitential season. The vestments for this day can be rose, just as they are on the third Sunday in Advent. Today we have flowers instead of greens to adorn the altar. Today is called Laetare Sunday or Rose Sunday or refreshment Sunday, but in the UK the 4th Sunday of Lent is Mothering Sunday. In the secular world this Sunday is a celebration of motherhood. It is synonymous with Mother’s Day in other countries. In Roman times there was a festival held in honour of the mother goddess Cybele. When the Roman Empire and Europe converted to Christianity, this celebration became part of the liturgical calendar as Laetare Sunday. So the 4th Sunday in Lent came to be a time to honour the Virgin Mary and the mother church. In times past young women who had left home would get the day off so that they could return to their family, to their mother.

  • Laetare Sunday Next Week, Is the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Marking the Half-Way Point in the Lenten Season
    Did you know . Laetare Sunday Next week, is the fourth Sunday of Lent, marking the half-way point in the Lenten Season. We know it best as Laetare Sunday. But this Sunday has several other names as well. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it is called Mothering Sunday named because a person would visit his “mother church”, the church in which he was baptized. It was also so called because servants were released for the day to visit their mothers; others, too, would visit their biological mothers on this day. Often the day was celebrated in much the same way as our Mother’s Day. Several customs developed on this Sunday, including the baking of “mother cakes”, called “simnel cakes” and thus the day came also to be known as Simnel Sunday. Simnel cakes are ornamental and rich cakes like those made at Christmas. Such cakes were stamped with the figure of Christ or the Virgin Mary. While today simnel cakes are often prepared for Easter in Great Britain, the simnel cake is still the most traditional recipe associated with Laetare Sunday. This Sunday also goes by Refection Sunday or Refreshment Sunday, named because of the Scripture reading of Joseph feeding his brothers. And, lastly, it is called Rose Sunday, either because of the golden rose, sent by Popes to Catholic sovereigns or because of the rose-colored vestments permitted to be worn for Mass on this day. Historically, the day was also known as the Sunday of the Five Loaves from the miracle of the loaves and fishes which, before the adoption of the common lectionaries, was the traditional Gospel reading for this Sunday.
