    Matins of Great and Holy Saturday (Friday Night) The priest, vested in a dark epitrachelion, opens the curtain, takes the censer, and begins: Priest: Blessed is our God always, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Reader: Amen. Glory to Thee, O God; glory to Thee! While the following prayers are being read, the priest censes the altar, the sanctuary, and the people. Reader: O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, Who art everywhere and fillest all things, Treasury of blessings, and Giver of Life, come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One. Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us! (3) Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

In contrast, the earliest followers of Christ honored the sev- enth-day Sabbath and continued meeting on that day, according to the New Testament. To explain this discrepancy, the following arguments are com- monly used: •The Sabbath was given to Jewish people, not to Christians •Jesus resurrected on Sunday, therefore the Sabbath was changed •The early church changed Sabbath to Sunday as the gospel went to Gentiles What is the truth about this matter, and how can we find it? John Laux, an author of textbooks for Catholic schools, wrote: “If we consulted the Bible only, we should still have to keep holy the Sabbath Day, that is, Saturday, with the Jews, instead of Sun- day…” (Laux, p 51).
  • Why Can Catholics Go to Church on Saturday Night and It Counts As Going on Sunday?

    Why Can Catholics Go to Church on Saturday Night and It Counts As Going on Sunday?

    Why can Catholics go to church on Saturday night and it counts as going on Sunday? We reflect on the events of Good Friday and remember that scripture tells us that they had to hurry to place Jesus in the tomb because: “It was the day of preparation, and the Sabbath was about to begin.” (Luke 23:54) The Jewish Sabbath began at sunset of the prior evening. In Leviticus we read that God told Moses: “[Y]ou shall keep this Sabbath of yours from evening to evening.” (Lev. 23:32) At that time in history, evening was considered the beginning of a new day. Without a clock, there was no clear way to establish the occurrence of midnight, but the appearance of stars was very evident, and could be recognized by all the people. Some of this tradition has carried over to our celebration of the Lord’s Day. We start celebrating Sunday on Saturday evening but also continue on through Sunday evening. In the Church’s Liturgy of the Hours, or Christian Prayer, there is normally a set of prayer for the morning and evening of each day of the week. But on Sunday there are two evening prayers; we have Evening Prayer I on Saturday and Evening Prayer II on Sunday. The Lord’s Day is certainly a reason for celebration, and we extend it as long as possible. The Catechism of the Catholic Church indicates the acceptability of attending Mass on Saturday evening when it references Canon Law. It states: “The precept of the Church specifies the law of the Lord more precisely: ‘On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass.

    Weekend Working in 21St Century Britain: Does It Matter for Well-Being?

    Weekend working in 21st century Britain: Does it matter for well-being? Authors Andrew M. Bryce ISSN 1749-8368 SERPS no. 2019007 March 2019 Weekend working in 21st century Britain: Does it matter for well- being? Andrew M. Bryce University of Sheffield, Department of Economics, 9 Mappin Street, Sheffield, S1 4DT, United Kingdom. Email: [email protected]. (Corresponding author) Abstract On any given weekend, over a fifth of the UK labour force is at work, while more than half of working adults report working at the weekend at least some of the time. This is despite the fact that weekends are conventionally set aside as rest days. The question that this paper addresses is: does this matter? This paper adds to the literature by using two large panel datasets to analyse the effects of weekend working on eight different measures of subjective well-being in the UK. Unlike most previous literature on this topic, the analysis in this paper controls for individual fixed effects such that the results should not be confounded by time invariant omitted variables that differ between individuals. I find that weekend working does not affect how satisfied people are with their lives overall but it does have a significant impact on how satisfied they are with the amount of leisure time they have, with the results suggesting that the avoidance of weekend working is equivalent to working six fewer hours per week. Moreover, people working at the weekend report significantly lower happiness yesterday than non-weekend workers. These findings imply that, while weekend working is arguably good for productivity and hence welfare, such benefits come at a cost.

    Liturgical Notes for 2018

    HOLY WEEK AND EASTER LITURGICAL NOTES FOR 2018 MASS OF HOLY CHRISM + RITES OF HOLY WEEK + EASTER SEASON CHRISM MASS The Mass of Holy Chrism will be celebrated on Tuesday morning, March 27, at 10:30 A.M. in Saint Paul's Cathedral. The Chrism Mass gathers the diocesan family to celebrate the unity of all persons who have been anointed with Holy Chrism at Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders. Bishop McManus will bless the Holy Oils to be used in our parishes and diocesan liturgies in the coming year. During this Mass, the priests of the diocese will renew their commitment to service in the Church. In a special way, we will honor those priests who are celebrating their 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 50th, 60th, and 65th anniversaries of priestly ordination and service to the Church of Worcester. All priests are expected to participate and bring with them (2) parish representatives who will be responsible for receiving the Holy Oils in the name of the parish. If no parish representative is able to attend, the parish priest is then responsible for receiving the oils. All other priests planning to concelebrate and all deacons who will be attending are asked to bring their own alb and Diocesan Chasuble or Dalmatic and stole. Vesting for Mass will be in the Cenacle located on the lower level of the cathedral. PROCEDURE FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF OILS At the Mass of Holy Chrism, the holy oils that have been poured into stocks provided by the Office for Divine Worship will be given to the parish representatives designated by the pastor.
