Here is what our Stephen Ministers studied last week. Continue to pray for them as they grow in their ability to bring Christ’s love and care to people as a ministry of our congregation. Dealing with Depression: The Stephen Minister’s Role / Helping Suicidal Persons Get the Help They Need: Last week, our Stephen Ministers learned the characteristics and symptoms of mild, moderate, and severe depression, how to help someone who is or might be suicidal, and when a mental health professional needs to be involved. Supervision: A Key to Quality Christian Care (Parts 1 & 2): Stephen Ministers receive twice-monthly supervision once they begin providing care. Supervision ensures that Stephen Ministers provide the best care possible, yet is done in a way that keeps the identity of the care receiver and details of his or her situation confidential. “What is a Stephen Minister?” One way to put it is that Stephen Ministers are the “After People.” after the phone call you hoped you’d never get. after the funeral, when everyone has left and the emotions come crashing in on you. after the relationship falls apart and the bottom falls out of your life. after the doctor says, “I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more we can do.” after the nursing home director shakes your hand and says, “Welcome to your new home.” after the last child honks the horn, waves, and drives away—and the house suddenly seems empty. after the gavel comes down, the handcuffs go on, and your loved one is led away. after the baby arrives, demanding more of you than you ever dreamed possible. after you find a pink slip with your final paycheck. after your family and friends have heard your story one too many times, but you still need to talk. If you are in need of confidential, one-to-one Christian care—or if you have a friend, neighbor, coworker, or relative who might benefit from this kind of care—talk to our pastor or a Stephen Leader. There are 15 Stephen Ministers in training: Jenny Buckman, Eva Bowlin, John Carrico, Kim Dossett, Carol & Eddie Elder, Terry & Leonard Foss, Joyce Hayden, Karen Shupe, Mary Ann Thomas, David Thompson, Denis Wilson, Janet Wilson and Marie Woodrum. GWe are delighted to have you visit with us here at St. Jerome Catholic Church. We hope your visit with us has been a happy and faith-filled experience. 2 $%& Luke 4:1-13 “Filled with the Holy Spirit , Jesus returned from the Jordon and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days to be tempted by the devil.” In the gospel we are presented with an insight and challenge. Sometimes we are most distressed by the faults of others that we also notice subconsciously in ourselves. Questions for you or your family members: Jesus said, “One does not live by bread alone.” What are you hungry for? Select one of the tree temptations—possessions, popularity, power and ask yourself which one most allures you to ask God for insight and healing. What is something or someone that is hard for you to say no to even if you should? Why? ! "!!"# At the entrances to the church, there are prayer cards for our children, youth, and adults who are in preparation to celebrate one or all three of the sacraments of initiation in the near future. You are invited to support them by taking one of each color and praying for the person on the front of the card, and the entire group listed on the backside of the card. If you are inclined, a card in the mail is always appreciated and treasured. Thank you for your prayerful support. #"!!! The Lenten small group options are: Monday at 10:00 AM at the home of Teresa Hobbs. Wednesday at 6:30 PM in the Parish Center and Friday at 8:00 AM in the Parish Center. Please contact the parish office if you have any concerns or questions. !#& Death by Minivan by Heather Anderson Renshaw. Here's a bit of advice, mom to mom: Throw down the minivan keys, brush the cereal off the table, kick the toys into a corner, sit down with a cup of coffee (or glass of wine), and read Death by Minivan. Author Heather Anderson Renshaw, mother of five, is a lot like you. She knows all about the wild, crazy, and often hilarious experience of motherhood. And she feels sometimes like she's barely keeping up and maybe even failing at the whole “mom thing.” Thankfully, as she shares in these pages, motherhood isn't a trip that's meant to be taken alone. God's got this, and the more we let him lead, the more we find the fruits of his Holy Spirit taking root in our hearts and in our fami- lies. So buckle up, because you're on the road to a more joyful, more peaceful, more faithful motherhood. YOUTH MINISTRY *March 10, 17, 24, 31 — PRE for K—11.

  • A Commentary on Jerome's Contra Vigilantium by Amy
    A COMMENTARY ON JEROME’S CONTRA VIGILANTIUM BY AMY HYE OH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Classical Philology with a concentration in Medieval Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Danuta Shanzer Professor Ralph Mathisen Professor Jon Solomon Professor Stephan Heilan, University of Osnabrück ABSTRACT Innkeepers inspired this dissertation. After working on ‘innkeepers’ as a topic for a research seminar paper, I soon discovered that the term caupo counted as an insult according to several church fathers, including Jerome. In the Contra Vigilantium, Jerome mocked his enemy, Vigilantius, by calling him a caupo who mixed water with wine; I wondered whether the title was true and the insult was deserved. What remained was to figure out who this man was and why he mattered. The dissertation is comprised of four parts: introductory chapters, a text with an en face translation, a philological/historical commentary, and appendices. The first chapter introduces Vigilantius, discusses why a commentary of the Contra Vigilantium is needed, and provides a biography, supported by literary and historical evidence in response to the bolder and more fanciful account of W.S. Gilly.1 The second chapter treats Vigilantius as an exegete. From a sample of his exegesis preserved in Jerome’s Ep. 61, I determine that Jerome dismissed Vigilantius’ exegesis because he wanted to protect his own orthodoxy. The third chapter situates Vigilantius in the debate on relic worship. His position is valuable because he opposed most of his contemporaries, decrying relics instead of supporting their translation and veneration.

  • The Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom an English Translation from the Greek, with Commentary, of the Divine Liturgy of St
    The Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom An English translation from the Greek, with commentary, of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom The annotations in this edition are extracted from two books by Fr. Alexander Schmemann, of blessed memory: 1) The Eucharist published in 1987, and, 2) For The Life of The World, 1963, 1973, both published by Saint Vladimir’s Seminary Press. Fr. Schmemann died in 1983 at the age of 62 having been Dean of St. Vladimir’s Seminary for the 20 years previously. Any illumination for the reader of the meaning of the Liturgy is directly from Fr. Schmemann’s work; any errors are directly the fault of the extractor. In this edition the quiet prayers of the priest are indicated by being in blue italics, Scripture references are in red, the Liturgical text is in blue, and the commentary is in black. (Traditionally, the service of Orthros is celebrated right before each Liturgy. The traditional end of the Orthros is the Great Doxology. In our church, the end of the Orthros is separated from the Great Doxology by the Studies in the Faith and the Memorials. Thus, it appears that the Great Doxology is the start of The Eucharist, but that is not the case. [ed.]) The Liturgy of the Eucharist is best understood as a journey or procession. It is a journey of the Church into the dimension of the kingdom, the manner of our entrance into the risen life of Christ. It is not an escape from the world, but rather an arrival at a vantage point from which we can see more deeply into the reality of the world.

  • Relics in Cortona Between Byzantium and Italy: the Case of the Church of St
    Западноевропейское средневековое искусство 317 УДК: 745.03, 745.55, 745.521 ББК: 85.12 А43 DOI:10.18688/aa166-4-32 Silvia Leggio Relics in Cortona between Byzantium and Italy: The Case of the Church of St. Francis In the year 1245, a few months before Pope Innocent IV (1243–1254) declared Frederick II deposed, a Franciscan friar received from the city municipality of Cortona a plot of land in an area known as Balneum Reginae [16, pp. 135–136]; there he started the construction of an intramural church dedicated to Saint Francis1, which nowadays houses a small but important collection of relics. Besides the fragment of the True Cross, preserved in the renowned Byzan- tine reliquary (Ill. 95), the other three relics related to the memory of Saint Francis belong to this sacred treasury: the cassock (Ill. 96) and evangeliary (Ill. 97) used by the Saint of Assisi, and his mortuary pillow (Ill. 98). According to the tradition, they arrived in Cortona thanks to the effort of one of the most controversial historic figures in the early years of Franciscanism, Friar Elias (ca. 1180–1253) (Fig. 1), the founder of the church of Cortona itself, disciple and companion of Saint Francis, Minister General of the Franciscan Order between 1232 and 1239, and Frederick II’s friend and supporter2. Some internal conflicts in the Order and his closeness to the Emperor led to his excommunication declared in 1240 by the Pope. After that Elias definitively switched to the side of the “enemy of the Church”, becoming one of his most trusted confidant.

  • Relic Or Icon? the Place and Function of Imperial Regalia*
    Chapter 14 Relic or Icon? The Place and Function of Imperial Regalia* Akira Akiyama Even though the studies of Christian and Buddhist art have long had respec- tive traditions, only rarely are their research results compared. This essay at- tempts to take up a comparative religious art historical investigation.1 There is no guarantee that such a comparison will bring about remarkable results; however, through the process of comparing it is possible, by juxtaposing differ- ent perspectives on similar kinds of objects, at least to gain some stimuli, ideas, and expertise vis-à-vis the fields of both Western and Japanese or East Asian art historical research. We thus explore here the regalia of the Holy Roman Empire, Reichskleinodien or Reichsinsignien, and the imperial regalia of Japan, Sanshu-no-Jingi (Three divine objects). Regalia are some of the most popular objects in many cultures, and are often newly made at the coronation of a sovereign. In this respect the imperial regalia of the Holy Roman Empire and of Japan make interesting exceptions, because in both cases they have a long tradition and history. By comparing the dynamics of portable sacred objects— their translation into different local contexts—we discover that regalia func- tion as both relics and icons to differing degrees in various situations. Further still, the ambiguity of place in the series of moves, compounded by issues of visibility, complicates the function of sacred imagery. While relics are prin- cipally not duplicable, but dividable, icons are not dividable, but duplicable. Japanese imperial regalia, in contrast to those of the Holy Roman Empire, have not only a relic-like character, but also an icon-like character.

  • The Icon of the Pochayiv Mother of God: a Sacred Relic Between East and West
    The Icon of the Pochayiv Mother of God: A Sacred Relic between East and West Franklin Sciacca Hamilton College Clinton, New York Introduction There are myriad icons of the Mother of God that are designated as “miracle-working” (chudotvornyi in Ukrainian and Russian) in the Orthodox and Catholic lands of Eastern Europe. Thaumaturgic powers are often ascribed to the icon itself and therefore such panels are venerated with particular devotion. Pilgrims seek physical contact with these objects. From the lands of medieval Kievan Rus’, there are four surviving icons with Byzantine pedigree that achieved “miracle- working” status as early as the 11th c.: The Vladimir icon (known in Ukrainian tradition as Vyshhorod, after the location of the convent north of Kiev where it was originally kept); the Kievo-Pechersk icon of the Dormition; the Kholm icon (attributed to Evangelist Luke); and the so-called Black Madonna of Częstochowa (originally housed in Belz, and for the last 600 years in the Jasna Gora monastery in Poland). All of them are surrounded by complex folkloric legends of origin and accounts of miraculous interventions. In later centuries, numerous other wonder-working icons appeared in Ukrainian, Belarusian, Russian, Polish, Balkan lands, Figure 1: Pochayiv Mother Of among which is a relative late-comer (known from the late 16th c.)--The icon God in Dormition Cathedral, of the Mother and Child that was venerated at the Pochayiv monastery in Western Pochayiv Lavra. Ukraine. This small, originally domestic, icon achieved significant cult status throughout Eastern Europe, both in Orthodox and Catholic milieus. This article seeks to examine the origin of the icon in the context of the development of the monastery whose reputation was built as its repository.
