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. -
Sveshnikov-Mental Imagery in Prayer
Mental Imagery in Eastern Orthodox Private Devotion by Father Sergei Sveshnikov Just as there can be a properly trained voice, there can be a properly trained soul.[1] —Fr. Alexander Yelchaninov This presentation is based on the research that I undertook for a book titled Imagine That… : Mental Imagery in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Private Devotion, published in paperback in February of 2009 with the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco. The work is an analytical comparison of Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox attitudes toward mental imagery. In this presentation, I wish to focus specifically on the Orthodox tradition of prayer. * * * Eastern Orthodoxy displays a great degree of uniformity in following a path of stillness of thought and silence of mind to achieve the prayer of heart in private devotion. Saint John Climacus writes in The Ladder (28:19) that “the beginning of prayer consists in chasing away invading thoughts…” (285) The mind is to be freed from all thoughts and images and focused on the words of prayer. Further in the chapter on prayer (28), St. John instructs not to accept any sensual images during prayer, lest the mind falls into insanity (42; 289); and not to gaze upon even necessary and spiritual things (59; 292). Unlike some forms of Roman Catholic spirituality, the Orthodox Tradition does not encourage the use of mental imagery. In fact, it almost appears to forbid sensory imagination during prayer altogether. In the words of one of the contemporary Orthodox elders, Abbot Nikon (Vorobyev) (1894-1963), “that, which sternly, decisively, with threats and imploring is forbidden by the Eastern Fathers—Western ascetics strive to acquire through all efforts and means” (424). -

That means we have been made fit to have Christ dwelling within us. We have divine light dwelling within us. If we choose to do so, we can show others this light and we can do it without saying a word. This can be done by the strict discipline of our lives. This is what Christ was speaking of when he told us: “Let your light so shine before all that people may see your good works and praise your Father in Heaven”. -

The Seasons of the Soul by Fred Schaeffer, OFS In Florida we haven’t got four seasons, there is great weather with lower humidity in the winter months (November to April/May) and in summer we are hazy, hot and humid, occasionally with tropi- cal storms and hurricanes. “Up north,” they have four seasons, and this Reflection comments on all four seasons. I've spent about 9 years total in religious life, the longest for 5 years in Massachusetts and Florida. My first religious life experience (1.5 years) was with the Capuchins but that’s ancient history (early 1960). I was close to Jesus, but I slacked again until 1984-5 when I said Enough! Then I attempted to live a holy life away from a friary or monastery. -

You will see that it offers no resistance St. Benedict’s Catholic Church against being moved, it complains not against its position, 1419 St. Benedict Street it will not cry out if you let it go. If you seat it on a throne, Duluth, MN it will not look up or down, and to clothe it in purple but (there is parking both front and back) makes it more pale. Thus is the truly obedient man” (The Note the times Ideals of St Francis of Assisi by Hilarin Felder, OFM Cap). 8:15 Set up The question for a secular Franciscan is, how should we in 9:00 Mass our lay state live obedience? These ideas come to my 9:45 Serve refreshments after Mass mind: the Rule, the Ten Commandments, the precepts of 10:15 Clean up the Church, listening to one’s spouse, to one’s parents, Fraternity potluck and gathering to follow obeying those in authority at work and elsewhere, the immediately driving laws, one’s spiritual advisor, and even a friend.

The History of Editing Literary and Theatrical Works of Karol Wojtyła – John Paul II*
The Person and the Challenges Volume 9 (2019) Number 1, p. 127–153 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/pch.3366 Jacek Popiel ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8790-2757 Jagiellonian University, Poland The History of Editing Literary and Theatrical Works of Karol Wojtyła – John Paul II* Abstract The article is devoted to the history of the edition of literary and theater works of Karol Wojtyla – John Paul II. Based on the surviving materials in the archives, often unknown facts were presented showing the subsequent phases of discovery of Wojtyła as a poet, playwright, and actor. Keywords John Paul II, history of literature, poetry, drama, theatre. The editing of literary and theatrical works of Karol Wojtyła – John Paul II – is warranted by a conviction that you cannot fully understand the person of the Holy Father without an insight into this part of his biography that concerns his fascination with poetry, drama and theatre. Therefore, you need to refer to the sources: manuscripts and typescripts, Church and private archives, and to carry out a comparative study of the preserved materials. In the event of each researcher, such work is combined with the hope of managing to get to the * The text is an introduction to the book: Karol Wojtyła. Jan Paweł II, Dzieła literackie i teatralne.
