II INTRODUCTION The Protestant lleformaÈion destroyed whatever remained of the concept of the unity and authority of the lt{edieval Church. The rapidity with which the heretical doctrines of Luther spread across Europe only served to indicate the ex- tent to which dissatÍsfactíon with the ecclesiastical system had penetrated Buropean society" V/ithin a few decades, Protest- antism had swept Central Europe and v{as challenging the su- premacy of the Roman Catholic church in the north and west" The effect on the Roman Catholic Church was devastating' The territorial and numerical losses, great as they were, were overshadowed by the profound effect the Protestant move- ment had on the unity and authority of the l"Íedieval Church, The demand for reform was not new" Luther merely echoed the reform sentiments of Catholic intetlectual-s, devotees of the via noderna, and German humanists.l The Cathofic church had stubbornly resisted, or perhaps more correctly, had not seen the immediacy of the need to reform" For this oversight she was to pay dearly. The success of the Lutheran revolt demon- strated. vividly how irrelevant the church had become to a broad spectrum of societY. *ForI a discussion of this see L" Spitz, Lhç EClfeig-q-q Renaiss¿rnce of the German l{umanists (Cambrldg,ez1963) . 2 Tiris crisis v;hich CathoLic ism f ac ed prec ipitated new j-nternal- demands for reform" Such reform, it was gen- erally believecì, v,Jas the r.rorl< of reforming councils, and it was to such a council that Christendom not,' looked for a remedy of its ills and the recovery of its lost fortunes.

  • Discipleship in the Lectionary – 06/27/2021
    Discipleship in the Lectionary – 06/27/2021 A look at the week's lectionary through the lens of discipleship and disciple- making. Fifth Sunday After Pentecost Revised Common Lectionary Year B Sunday, June 27th Mark 5:21-43 Scripture quotations are from The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Transformed through faith This week’s Gospel lection contains two healing stories, one intercalated within the other: The raising of Jairus’ daughter from the dead and the healing of a woman with a hemorrhage. If we take these intricately interwoven stories as an isolated text, our focus is drawn primarily to the healings. When we take the broader literary context of Mark’s Gospel into account, another focal point emerges. There is a contrast here between the lack of faith of Jesus’ disciples covered in last week’s Gospel lection (Mark 4:35-41) and the faith of the woman and Jairus in this week’s text. Mark’s manual on discipleship thus uses more than just the text to emphasize the importance of faith – even in situations of complete hopelessness. At the same time, Jesus does not just restore those afflicted but transforms them. Faith in Christ has social costs, but such faith is necessary to transform society’s ills. Mark 5:21-43 Commentary In last week’s Gospel lection, Jesus and His disciples encountered a violent storm while crossing over the Sea of Galilee. Once they arrived on the Gentile shore, Jesus exorcised the Gerasenes demoniac and then headed back to the Jewish side of the lake.

  • Psalm 81: Announcing the Resurrection on Holy Saturday
    Logos: A Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Vol. 50 (2009) Nos. 1–2, pp. 55–88 Psalm 81: Announcing the Resurrection on Holy Saturday Nicholas Denysenko Abstract (Українське резюме на ст. 88) In the Byzantine vesperal liturgy of Holy Saturday, an unusual occurrence takes place when the Alleluia, with its customary psalm verses, is not sung before the gospel, but is replaced by a unique psalm responsorial unit beginning with Psalm 81:8, “Arise, O God, and judge the earth, for to You belong all nations.” This occurs only on Holy Saturday, and suggests that the novel responsorial psalm unit carries some liturgical or theological significance which explains the dis- placement of the customary Alleluia. This article presents the history of the Holy Saturday Psalm 81 responsorial unit by examining its occurrence in select cathedral and monastic liturgical sources of Constantinople and Jerusalem/Palestine from the fifth through the fourteenth centuries. Following an examination of the evidence, the article articulates the theo- logical significance of the proclamation of Psalm 81 at the Holy Saturday vesperal liturgy, revealing the meaning of Al- leluia as a responsorial refrain, the relationship between it and the gospel lection, and the liturgical context of Psalm 81 throughout its development in the history of the offices of Holy Saturday and Pascha. ®®®®®®®® 56 Nicholas Denysenko In the Byzantine vesperal liturgy of Holy Saturday, an un- usual occurrence appears in the rubrics.1 On this sole occasion of the entire liturgical year, the Alleluia,

  • The New Testament of the King James and Catholic Bibles Contains Many
    CRUCIAL LESSONS JESUS TAUGHT THAT ARE NOT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT The New Testament of the King James and Catholic Bibles contains many lessons Jesus did not preach, and the most significant and abundant differences are found within Saul/Paul's epistles. Why? There are two major reasons: Saul/Paul preached Jesus had been a blood sacrifice to redeem mankind from their sins, and that coincides with the blood sacrifice rituals and laws of Exodus 29. As a Pharisee, Saul vehemently protected the longstanding blood covenant of Exodus 24, and the revered blood sacrifice rituals and laws of Exodus 29. Proof lies in this fact: he mercilessly hunted those who preached, or simply believed in the doctrine Jesus gave to mankind. Historical records make it very clear Pharisee Saul had been directly responsible for Jesus preached doctrine that negated the blood covenant, and blood sacrifice Hebrew Laws that are within Exodus 24 and 29. In their stead, He restated the steps His Father had originally given to mankind through Holy Spirit, which are the steps a soul must follow and obey to achieve the purification required to enter into the Kingdom of Light, also known as the Kingdom of Heaven. This booklet will provide you with a comprehensive overview that addresses the differences between the lessons Jesus preached, and the lessons contained within the New Testament. Each of the Verses from the Gospel of the Holy Twelve, when possible, will reference a specific Verse that it contradicts within the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and/or John, or within an epistle of Saul/Paul, and why it does so.

Amen. Confession and Absolution Enriching Our Worship Let us confess our sins to God. God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen.
