Third Sunday of Easter; Cycle B Third Sunday of Easter; Cycle B It has been two (2) weeks since Easter Sunday, two (2) weeks since our celebration of the Lord’s Resurrection. Yet Easter is too significant of an event to be limited to a single day. If we are obedient, our celebration of Our Lord’s Resurrection continues throughout the Easter Octave, those eight (8) days which ended last Sunday, Divine Mercy Sunday; that day we recall the opening of the Floodgates of Heaven with the promise that, those who are faithful…will not perish AND we are given the promise of victory…at the hour of death. Our observance of the Resurrection continues through the Easter Season and today is the third (3rd) Sunday of Easter. St. Luke moves us to reflect upon the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary as the events of today’s Gospel occur between the first (1st) and second (2nd) Mysteries…between Our Lord’s Resurrection and His Ascension. Specifically, Luke tells us of Our Lord’s appearance to the Disciples in Jerusalem…shortly after they recognized Him in the breaking of the bread. Framed within this magnificent Gospel setting, let’s look at our first reading from the Book of Acts. “Peter said to the people…God…has glorified His servant Jesus, whom you handed over and denied in Pilate’s presence when he decided to release Him. You denied the Holy and Righteous One…The author of life, you put to death!” (Acts 3:13-15) Peter, who just a short time before, had denied Our Lord three (3) times is now speaking in very strong language, telling the Jewish people, “You have put the author of life to death!” This is something they do not want to hear. In fact – he is most likely risking his life by speaking the truth. For most of us, it’s OK to be told we have made a mistake, but none of us want to be scolded in public. We don’t want to be told that we’re corrupt, especially morally corrupt! We can tell each other many things, but when we tell someone they are morally corrupt, no one wants to hear that. Peter, the one given the authority to bind and to loose – has just told this crowd they have not only sinned, but they have killed the author of life. But…he doesn’t leave them there with this guilt hanging over their heads …for he goes on to tell them, “…but God raised Him from the dead…” (Acts 3: 15) . Prepared by: Deacon Tom Sanctis April 15, 2018 St. Ann Church; Charlotte, NC Page 1 Third Sunday of Easter; Cycle B Then, returning to our Gospel, the Risen Jesus appears to His Disciples, who are again hidden away in the upper room and says, “Peace be with you!” …and they think they had seen a ghost…Even though they had been with Our Lord throughout His entire public ministry, they still did not anticipate His Resurrection! And since He had passed through a locked door He knew they were thinking, “This must be a ghost”. So He says to them, “Look at my hands and my feet, it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see that I have.” (Luke 24: 39) Our Lord immediately connects His greeting of peace to the reality of His wounds. We know from our own experience that we best receive comfort when it comes from one who has experienced suffering. For example: If you have cancer, encouragement from a cancer survivor is more reassuring than that of one who has never suffered with cancer. If your marriage is troubled, the inspirational example of a couple who have prayerfully and deliberately brought their marriage back from the brink of divorce is more likely to inspire us to not give up on our own troubled marriage. The comforting reassurance of a family who has survived the trials of a child that has lost his way but returned to the welcoming arms of his family is more likely to encourage our similar embrace if that is the cross we carry. The best consolation always comes from one who has been there, and by showing them His wounds Our Lord is showing them where He has been, what He has endured. The Risen Christ was wounded, suffered, and was crucified, and yet He lives! God the Father vindicated Jesus by raising Him from the dead. Thus, Our Lord’s wounds became our signs of hope and strength. His wounds are bound to His greeting of peace. This greeting, “Peace be with you,” is a command to the disciples. He is encouraging them to leave the upper room. This greeting is meant to embolden the disciples, it encourages them to stop hiding, to get back in the game, as it were. This is a greeting of hope. Prepared by: Deacon Tom Sanctis April 15, 2018 St. Ann Church; Charlotte, NC Page 2 Third Sunday of Easter; Cycle B This same greeting, which we hear at every Mass, calls us to hide no longer, it demands that we fear no more. Our time of spiritual cowering in our own upper rooms is over. We, like the Disciples, are called to face the world with courage and to spread the Good News. Then, after He shares His greeting of Peace and asks them to examine His wounds; Jesus, as I think any man might, says, “Have you anything to eat?” (Luke 24: 41) With these simple acts of sharing a meal, touching Him in the flesh and seeing His wounds…Our Lord is saying, “It is me! I am here! Rejoice and be glad! At this very moment Christ reveals to His Disciples that in Him, God has gone to the very limit, if not beyond the limit of what we can comprehend as being possible. For through His suffering and death, He has entered into all of our fears…He entered into our dysfunction…our sinfulness and even into our death! And He enters into this darkness for only one reason…so that He can find us! He comes to where we are with all the grace we need. That’s the mystery of the Cross – that’s the reason the day He suffered and died is called ‘Good’… because when Christ comes back from the dead, He brings us with Him. How do we know this great act of love, Our Lord’s Resurrection, is our remedy for sin?…Because in our sinfulness we killed God, and God returned to us in forgiving love! We separate ourselves from God as far as we possibly can…with our sins we killed the Author of Life…and yet God pulled us back! That means there’s nothing that can separate us from the love of God, except…for our refusal to accept His love! And that’s our message today and throughout the Easter season…we as Christians don’t discuss our virtue, nor do we sing our praises. What we do through our words and our deeds…is announce that God loves us! And because He does, He humbled Himself, entered into our humanity, and allowed His own heart to be pierced so that His Divine Life & Divine Mercy can be poured into each one of us! Peace be with you! Prepared by: Deacon Tom Sanctis April 15, 2018 St. Ann Church; Charlotte, NC Page 3 .

  • The Jesus Tree
    The Jesus Tree A Lenten Guide, Family Devotional & Activity Dear St. John’s family, During this season of Lent, we want to give you and your family a way to interact with the story of Jesus. With the direction of this devotion, families and individuals will be instructed on how to build a “Jesus Tree” decorated with symbols that represent Jesus’ journey to the cross. Each day a bible passage and symbol is provided. Create symbols from items around your house or cut and color the ones provided and decorate your tree with them. Your tree can be anything you like it to be. Have a tiny tree you use at Christmas? Perfect. Have a funky branch fall in your yard? That’ll do too. Place your tree where everyone can see it as a reminder of the Season. On Easter Sunday it will be a beautiful centerpiece for your table. Gather each day and read the corresponding scripture. Work together to construct a symbol to be hung on the tree. You may already have a cool Playmobil sword or an old eyeball from Halloween. There could be a neat stick on your walk that looks like a finger. Or a palm from a neighbors tree. Use your imagination and let your creativity run wild. There are paper symbols provided that you can cut, color and decorate to be used on your tree. Prayers for Ash Wednesday and each Sunday are included, as well. We hope you are able to enjoy and create a unique experience as you walk through the story of Jesus’ life together.

  • Tidings from the Rector… for Signs and Seasons
    St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church FEBRUARY Tidings From the Rector… For signs and seasons And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.’ And it was so. (Genesis 1: 14-15) Easter this year will be on April 24. This is one day short of the latest it can be. Easter’s date is based on an ancient calculation, based in turn on the date of the full moon in relation to the spring (vernal) equinox. It is one of the few remaining remnants of the Lunar Calendar (dating things in re- lationship to the cycles of the moon) in our society, which is largely governed by a Solar Calendar (dating things in relationship to the earth’s annual pilgrimage around the sun). The liturgical year is dominated by two major “cycles.” One of them—the Incar- nation Cycle—is based on the Solar Year, Christmas always falling on a fixed date in the calendar. This cycle begins with the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25 (celebrating the Archangel Gabriel’s announcement of God’s Incarna- tion in Christ), continues through Christmas and Epiphany, and concludes with the Feast of the Presentation in the Temple (Candlemas) on February 2. So, for much of the year, we are thinking about a “fixed” event in the calendar, connect- ing us solidly to history, fact, and the “groundedness” of the Christian faith.

  • Second Sunday of Easter Cycle a RCL Revised Acts 2:14A, 22-32
    Second Sunday of Easter Cycle A RCL Revised Acts 2:14a, 22-32 After the miracle of tongues on Pentecost (Acts 2:1-13), Peter defended the apostles against the charge of public drunkenness in a speech that contains our passage. Besides the fact that it was much too early for anyone to be drunk (2: 15: the “third hour” or 9 AM), the crowd should know that events of Pentecost, like all of the great events in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, were part of the definite plan of God shown in scripture. Our passage contains the argument that the resurrection of Jesus was prophesied in scripture and was part of this plan: Psalm 16 asserts in verse 10 that God will not allow the one who is faithful (xasid) to see the underworld (Sheol). The author of Luke-Acts took this to be a reference to Christ’s resurrection from the abode of the dead or, in Greek, Hades. Psalm 16 This psalm has much in common with the laments, but in fact does not ask for deliverance so much as it expresses trust that God will protect the psalmist. As such, it is usually classified with the psalms of trust like Psalm 23. The setting of such psalms within the context of temple worship is not clear. 1 Peter 1:3-9 After the address and opening greeting, Greco-Roman letters usually contained a pious ascription or blessing designed to give thanks to the gods for the recipient of the letter. Our passage corresponds to this blessing.

  • 2021 Liturgical Colors Calendar
    COLORS FOR THE AME CHRISTIAN YEAR In the Christian year of our church, we recognize two cycles: the Christmas Cycle (Advent-Christmas-Epiphany) and the Easter Cycle (Lent-Easter-Pentecost). Within each cycle are a preparatory season symbolized by the color purple and a festival season symbolized by the color white. Between each cycle follows an ordinary time of growth symbolized by the color green in the Seasons Aft er the Epiphany and Aft er Pentecost. Therefore, there is a sequence of seasons using purple, white, and green in that order twice each year. PURPLE is a color of both penitence and royalty used during the preparatory seasons of Advent and Lent. Alternative colors of royal blue or violet may also be used during Advent. WHITE and GOLD are joyous and festive colors used during the Christmas and Easter seasons (except on the Day of Pentecost) and in other seasons on festive days such as Baptism of the Lord, Transfi guration, Trinity, All Saints, and Christ the King. White may also be used at weddings. At services of Holy Communion white linens on top of the Lord’s Table are the tradition of the AME Church, and are used on the fi rst Sunday, regardless of the Holy Season that is celebrated. Therefore, even if the fi rst Sunday of the month is the fi rst Sunday of Advent, the color used in the pulpit remains white. GREEN is a color of growth used in the Seasons Aft er the Epiphany and Aft er Pentecost, except when special days call for white or red.

  • Origins of Passion (Palm) Sunday
    On Passion (Palm) Sunday we celebrate the triumphant entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem on his final journey towards the Cross. This is a significant moment in our journey to Easter. Passion (Palm) Sunday is the turning point between Lent and Holy Week. The celebration begins with a Triumphal procession with palms and ends on a solemn note in preparation for Holy Week. Origins of Passion (Palm) Sunday One of the earliest accounts of the Lent and Easter liturgies in Jerusalem was written by a woman who travelled to the Holy Land probably in the early fifth century. Scholars call her Egeria and they think she came from France or Spain to make her pilgrimage. Egeria describes the feast this way: At one o’clock all of the people go up to Mount Olivet, that is, the Eleona1, into the church: the bishop is seated, they sing hymns and antiphons appropriate to the day and place, as are the readings. And when it is about three o’clock, they go down singing hymns to . the place from which the Lord ascended into heaven, and everyone sits down there, for in the bishop’s presence all the people are ordered to sit down, so that only the deacons remain standing. There hymns and antiphons appropriate to the day and place are sung; similarly readings and prayers are interspersed. When it is about one o’clock, that place in the Gospel is read where infants with palms and branches ran to the Lord, saying, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” (Mtt.

  • A Phenomenology of the Liturgy of Maundy Thursday
    religions Article A Phenomenology of the Liturgy of Maundy Thursday Tamsin Jones Department of Religious Studies, Trinity College, Hartford, CT 06106, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this article, I propose a phenomenological analysis of the liturgy of Maundy Thursday, as it is celebrated in the contemporary Anglican Church of Canada. As an example of liturgy, Maundy Thursday is particularly generative for phenomenological description because of its affective range and drama. A participant in the liturgy is given the opportunity to experience a combination of grief, lament, remorse, joy, thanksgiving, kindness and compassion, care for the body, vulnerability and humility, as well as fear and confusion. Situated on the threshold between Lent and Easter, it is a richly complex moment in the liturgical year and combines, in a creative and affective tension, celebration with mourning, order with chaos, and love and service with betrayal and repentance. Keywords: phenomenology; Maundy Thursday; Anglican; liturgy 1. Introduction In this article, I propose a phenomenological analysis of the liturgy of Maundy Thurs- day, as it is celebrated in the contemporary Anglican Church of Canada. Rather than rely on other philosophical or theological analyses of this liturgy, as much as possible this article will draw primarily on the textual source and the performance of the liturgy itself in order to give a phenomenological description of the experience of the liturgy. Intentionally, then, Citation: Jones, Tamsin. 2021. A there is relatively little engagement with other scholars in this article. Phenomenology of the Liturgy of Maundy Thursday occurs during Holy Week and leads directly into the two holiest of Maundy Thursday.
