    Sunday, November 29, 2020 St. Anthony of Padua Church 101 E Virginia Ave Effingham, IL 62401 (217) 347-7129 www.stanthony.com ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA PARISH EFFINGHAM, ILLINOIS My Dear Parish Family, It is almost incomprehensible to think that another year has practically come and gone. Indeed, here we are on the doorstep of the Christmas Season, these final four weeks is a time for we Christians to cleanse ourselves spiritually and make ready for the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As the season approaches, we refer to this making ready as “preparing the way.” Advent guides us to explore what Christmas means to us personally and to discover that the greatest gift we can give to our family, friends, and the world is ourselves! Traditionally, Advent is a time of reflection and affirmation, with each week represented by a particular theme. Each week of Advent on Sunday, a representative Advent candle is lit. Catholic tradition states that the four candles, representing the four weeks of Advent, each stand for one thousand years, to total the four-thousand years from the time of Adam and Eve until the birth of the Savior. Advent is a period of time set apart for our exploration of faith, an inner search of our mind and heart. The four Sundays of Advent proclaim aspects of our divine nature: hope and faith, peace, love, and joy. The themes of Advent allow us—through meditation, prayer, and affirmation - to contemplate ways to share our deepest gifts: hope and faith, peace, love, and joy.

  • Henry Howard - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Henry Howard - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Henry Howard(1517 – 19 January 1547) Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey KG was an English aristocrat, and one of the founders of English Renaissance poetry. <b>Life</b> He was the eldest son of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and his second wife, the former Lady Elizabeth Stafford (daughter of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham), so he was descended from kings on both sides of his family tree. He was reared at Windsor with Henry VIII's illegitimate son Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, and they became close friends and, later, brothers-in-law. He became Earl of Surrey in 1524 when his grandfather died and his father became Duke of Norfolk. In 1532 he accompanied his first cousin Anne Boleyn, the King, and the Duke of Richmond to France, staying there for more than a year as a member of the entourage of Francis I of France. In 1536 his first son, Thomas (later 4th Duke of Norfolk), was born, Anne Boleyn was executed on charges of adultery and treason, and the Duke of Richmond died at the age of 17 and was buried at one of the Howard homes, Thetford Abbey. In 1536 Surrey also served with his father against the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion protesting the Dissolution of the Monasteries. <b>Literary activity and legacy</b> He and his friend <a href="http://www.poemhunter.com/sir-thomas-wyatt/">Sir Thomas Wyatt</a> were the first English poets to write in the sonnet form that Shakespeare later used, and Surrey was the first English poet to publish blank verse in his translation of the second and fourth books of Virgil's Aeneid.

  • Adam Bede by George Eliot Book One Chapter I the Workshop with a Single Drop of Ink for a Mirror, the Egyptian Sorcerer Undertak
    Adam Bede by George Eliot Book One Chapter I The Workshop With a single drop of ink for a mirror, the Egyptian sorcerer undertakes to reveal to any chance comer far-reaching visions of the past. This is what I undertake to do for you, reader. With this drop of ink at the end of my pen, I will show you the roomy workshop of Mr. Jonathan Burge, carpenter and builder, in the village of Hayslope, as it appeared on the eighteenth of June, in the year of our Lord 1799. The afternoon sun was warm on the five workmen there, busy upon doors and window-frames and wainscoting. A scent of pine-wood from a tentlike pile of planks outside the open door mingled itself with the scent of the elder-bushes which were spreading their summer snow close to the open window opposite; the slanting sunbeams shone through the transparent shavings that flew before the steady plane, and lit up the fine grain of the oak panelling which stood propped against the wall. On a heap of those soft shavings a rough, grey shepherd dog had made himself a pleasant bed, and was lying with his nose between his fore-paws, occasionally wrinkling his brows to cast a glance at the tallest of the five workmen, who was carving a shield in the centre of a wooden mantelpiece. It was to this workman that the strong barytone belonged which was heard above the sound of plane and hammer singing-- Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth..

  • Cardigan Robert W Chambers
    CARDIGAN ROBERT W CHAMBERS PREFACE Those who read this romance for the sake of what history it may contain will find the histories from which I have helped myself more profitable. Those antiquarians who hunt their hobbies through books had best drop the trail of this book at the preface, for they will draw but a blank covert in these pages. Better for the antiquarian that he seek the mansion of Sir William Johnson, which is still standing in Johnstown, New York, and see with his own eyes the hatchet-scars in the solid mahogany banisters where Thayendanegea hacked out polished chips. It would doubtless prove more profitable for the antiquarian to thumb those hatchet-marks than these pages. But there be some simple folk who read romance for its own useless sake. To such quiet minds, innocent and disinterested, I have some little confidences to impart: There are still trout in the Kennyetto; the wild ducks still splash on the Vlaie, where Sir William awoke the echoes with his flintlock; the spot where his hunting-box stood is still called Summer-House Point; and huge pike in golden-green chain-mail still haunt the dark depths of the Vlaie water, even on this fair April day in the year of our Lord 1900. THE AUTHOR. CARDIGAN CHAPTER I 1 On the 1st of May, 1774, the anchor-ice, which for so many months had silver-plated the river's bed with frosted crusts, was ripped off and dashed into a million gushing flakes by the amber outrush of the springtide flood.
