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. -

Paul's Concluding Words Before King Agrippa
Paul’s Concluding Words before King Agrippa So far in his defence before King Agrippa, the Apostle Paul has given his testimony of what happened to him until that day Jesus stopped him in his tracks on the road to Damascus. All of this was just background information, and didn’t really explain why Paul was seized by the Jews in the first place. Paul’s next few words briefly explain how he followed the leading of the Lord in his life from that day forward. Here is how he worded his defence: ACTS 26:19 Whereupon, C king Agrippa, I nas not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts ofjudaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. 21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill ma 22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I con tinue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: 23 That Christ should suffer; and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. Let’s look at these words a little closer. In verse 19 Paul wants to make sure King Agrippa is listening to this next, and most important part of his testimony as it pertains to the charges brought against him, so Paul directly calls King Agrippa to attention by stating: Whereupon, C king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:.. -

Photo by Záboj Horák FortressCHURCH in Prague REPORTER – Chodov, 3/202 birthplace1 of Blessed Dominik Zavřel, OCist. 1 Czech Priest Dominik Zavřel O.Cist., Martyr of the Eucharist, Declared Blessed On Saturday, 17th April 2021, a major event took place in the Cistercian Abbey of Casamari, southeast of Rome. The Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints His Eminence Marcello Semeraro declared six martyrs from the abbey to be blessed. They are Simeon Cardon, Dominik Zavřel and fellows. Their martyrdom, and therefore their birth for heaven, occurred on 13th May 1799. Dominik Zavřel was born in 1725 in the village of Chodov, then in the Hostivař parish, a few kilometres south of Prague. Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist in Hostivař (pictured left), where he was baptized and given the Christian name John, is today an important spiritual centre of the southwestern part of Prague. At the age of twenty, Jan Zavřel joined the Dominican order and received the religious name Chrysostom. Priory of Dominican noviciate was then located in the town of Litoměřice, still the seat of the bishop for northern Bohemia. After a year of novitiate, he made perpetual religious vows in 1746. In 1752 he is remembered as a priest, a member of the Dominican Priory in Prague at St. Giles, where he continued his theological studies. -

1 Introduction 2 the New Religious Orders 3 the Council of Trent And
NOTES 1 Introduction I. This term designates first of all the act of 'confessing' or professing a par ticular faith; secondly, it indicates the content of that which is confessed or professed, as in the Augsburg Confession; finally then it comes to mean the group that confesses this particular content, the church or 'confession'. 2 The New Religious Orders I. The terms 'order' and 'congregation' in this period were not always clear. An order usually meant solemn vows, varying degrees of exemption from the local bishop, acceptance of one of the major rules (Benedictine, Augustinian, Franciscan), and for women cloister.A congregation indicated simple vows and usually subordination to local diocesan authority. A con fraternity usually designated an association of lay people, sometimes including clerics, organized under a set of rules , to foster their common religious life and usually to undertake some common apostolic work. In some cases confraternities evolved into congregations, as was the case with many of the third orders, and congregations evolved into orders. 2. There is no effort here to list all the new orders and congregations that appeared in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 3. An English translation of Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae, the papal bull of 27 September 1540 establishing the Society ofJesus, is found in John Olin, The Catholic Reformation: Savonarola to Ignatius Loyola: Reform in the Church, /495-1540 (New York: Harper and Row, 1969), pp. 203-8. 3 The Council of Trent and the Papacy I.

NEGLECTED CHARACTERS of the BIBLE: ANANIAS Sermon
NEGLECTED CHARACTERS OF THE BIBLE: ANANIAS Sermon Preached by the Rev. Dr. Lindley G. DeGarmo Union Church of Pocantico Hills August 30, 2020 Psalm 145:10-18 Acts 9:1-20 I am continuing this week with my series of sermons on neglected characters of the Bible. It’s based on the work of Bishop William Willimon while he was Dean of the Chapel at Duke University, and focuses on a number of the “little people” of the Bible— folks who arguably play a minor role in the story of God, and who therefore rarely receive much pulpit time. Last week, we talked about Rahab the prostitute from Jericho, who helped fulfill God’s promise to settle the people of Israel in the land of Canaan. Today, we turn to the newer testament and a man: Ananias of Damascus. The call or conversion of Paul is a dramatic event, etched indelibly forever in the Christian consciousness. He was not always known as Paul. In the Jewish community he was known as Saul of Tarsus, a devout Pharisee, a scholar and zealous adherent of the Jewish law. And, he was one of the first and fiercest foes of the young Jesus movement. He was convinced that these Jesus-followers were a dangerous cult, renegades within Judaism, and that they would irreparably damage Judaism with their blasphemous innovation, their claims of Jesus as Messiah. And so, Saul persecuted Christians. He was there when Stephen became the first Christian martyr. He held the coats of the elders who stoned Stephen, and Luke tells us “Saul approved of their killing him.”1 Saul was on his way to Damascus with official letters from the Jewish authorities giving him power to seek out and destroy Christian groups there. -
