Коли за- сурмлять в обидві, то зійдеться до тебе вся громада коло входу в намет (ша- тро) зборів. А коли засурмлять тільки в одну, то зберуться до тебе князі, ти- сяцькі Ізраїля. Коли засурмите на поготівля, двигнуться табори, розташова- 4 ні на схід. А коли засурмите на поготівля вдруге, вирушать табори, що на південь. Сурмитимуть на сполох, коли рушатимуть у дорогу. Сурмитимете і тоді, коли треба буде скликати всю громаду, та тільки не так, як на поготів- ля. Сурмитимуть же сини Арона, священики, в сурми, і вони будуть вам для повсякчасного вжитку в ваших поколіннях. » (Чисел 10:1-8). (1) At the Vesperal Liturgy: For THE THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTE- COST: Old Testament: A READING FROM THE FOURTH BOOK OF MOS- ES: The LORD said to Moses, "Make two silver trumpets; of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation, and for breaking camp. And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting. But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you. When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out. And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out. But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations.” (RSVCE – Numbers 10:1-8). (2) На Вечірній Літургії, в ТРЕТЮ НЕДІЛЮ ПІСЛЯ П’ЯТИДЕСЯТНИ- ЦІ: Старий Завіт: ТРЕТОЇ КНИГИ ЦАРІВ ЧИТАННЯ. Ілля тішбій, з Тішбе у Гілеаді, сказав до ізраїльського царя Ахава: « Так певно, як живе Господь, Бог Ізраїля, якому я служу, цими роками не буде ні роси, ні дощу, хіба на моє слово. » І надійшло до нього таке слово Господнє: « Іди звідси й повер- нися на схід сонця та сховайся коло Керіт-потоку, що на схід від Йордану. Ти питимеш з потоку, а крукам я повелів, щоб постачали там тобі їжу. » Пі- шов він і зробив на Господній наказ, і рушив, і оселився коло Керіт-потоку, що на схід від Йордану. Круки приносили йому хліба й м’яса вранці та хліба й м’яса ввечері, а пив він з потоку. (1 Царів 17:1-6). (2) At the Vesperal Liturgy: For THE THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTE- COST: Old Testament: A READING FROM THE THIRD BOOK OF KINGS. Elias (Elijah) the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to [King] Ahab [of Israel], "As the LORD the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word." And the word of the LORD came to Elias, "Depart from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is east of the Jordan. You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there." So he went and did according to the 5 word of the LORD; he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

Esteban Julio Vázquez Deacon Kerry Luke Gonser Web Page: www.saintnicholasburton.org Office: 810-744-0070 The Gospel according to Saint Mark 16: 9-20 (3rd Matins Gospel) Now when Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons. She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe. After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. And they went and told it to the rest, but they did not believe them either. Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

The origins of the Ukrainian Catholic Church lie in the time when much of present-day Ukraine formed part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was then, in 1596, that for a variety of reasons, many of the Orthodox bishops of the region decided to accept communion with Rome.(1) After almost four hundred years the resulting Union of Brest remains a contentious subject.(2) The new "Uniate" Church formally recognized the Pope as Head of the Church, but maintained its traditional Byzantine or eastern rite, calendar, its right to ordain married men as priests, and its right to elect its own bishops.

It is a research tool for the study of Syriac saints and hagiographic texts. The Gateway to the Syriac Saints is a two-volume database: 1) Qadishe and 2) Bibliotheca Hagiographica Syriaca Electronica (BHSE). Hagiography, the lives of the saints, is a multiform genre. It contains elements of myth, history, biblical exegesis, romance, and theology. The production of saints’ lives blossomed in late antiquity alongside the growth of the cult of the saints. Scholars have attended to hagiographic traditions in Greek and Latin, but many scholars have yet to Journal of Religion, Media and Digital Culture Volume 5, Issue 1 (2016) https://jrmdc.com 184 discover the richness of Syriac hagiographic literature: the stories, homilies, and hymns on the saints that Christians of the Middle East told and preserved. It is our hope that our database will give scholars and students increased access to these traditions to generate new scholarship.

  • Theological Basis and Canonical Implications of Involvement of Religious in the Local Church
    1 Theological basis and Canonical Implications of Involvement of Religious in the Local Church 1. Introduction There are two states in the church – the clergy and the laity. The two groups of persons are referred to as hierarchical/institutional and charismatic/prophetic. There are different categories of people in the church – the clergy, the consecrated people and the laity. The three categories are to work in collaboration with each other in order to evangelise and build the Body of Christ. The consecrated persons/religious are in the vanguard of the mission of the church. They are encouraged to be enterprising in their initiatives and undertakings in keeping with the charismatic and prophetic nature of religious life. But they depend on the hierarchical/institutional church for discernment and approval of their charism and apostolate. Working together does cause some conflict and tensions. Hence a proper understanding of these two groups along with the theological basis of consecrated life, their roles and dependence (canonical implications), will help to clarify the relationships and bring about more effectiveness in ministry. If they work in partnership, with dialogue and mutual consultation, the church will benefit and the kingdom that Christ inaugurated will be furthered. 2. Brief History of Consecrated life How did consecrated life begin? What were its essentials? What is its present form? What was the role of the hierarchy in approving it? In order to seek an answer to these questions, we will have to look into a brief history of consecrated life. In early Christian communities there were virgins, widows and ascetics who lived a life distinguished from the ordinary life by its leaning to perfection, continence and sometimes the renunciation of riches.

  • The Concept of “Sister Churches” in Catholic-Orthodox Relations Since
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By Will T. Cohen Washington, D.C. 2010 The Concept of “Sister Churches” In Catholic-Orthodox Relations since Vatican II Will T. Cohen, Ph.D. Director: Paul McPartlan, D.Phil. Closely associated with Catholic-Orthodox rapprochement in the latter half of the 20 th century was the emergence of the expression “sister churches” used in various ways across the confessional division. Patriarch Athenagoras first employed it in this context in a letter in 1962 to Cardinal Bea of the Vatican Secretariat for the Promotion of Christian Unity, and soon it had become standard currency in the bilateral dialogue. Yet today the expression is rarely invoked by Catholic or Orthodox officials in their ecclesial communications. As the Polish Catholic theologian Waclaw Hryniewicz was led to say in 2002, “This term…has now fallen into disgrace.” This dissertation traces the rise and fall of the expression “sister churches” in modern Catholic-Orthodox relations and argues for its rehabilitation as a means by which both Catholic West and Orthodox East may avoid certain ecclesiological imbalances toward which each respectively tends in its separation from the other. Catholics who oppose saying that the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church are sisters, or that the church of Rome is one among several patriarchal sister churches, generally fear that if either of those things were true, the unicity of the Church would be compromised and the Roman primacy rendered ineffective.
