JULY 22 and JULY 29
Mary Magdalene and Martha

Among the women who accompanied Jesus, Mary Magdalene and Martha seem to have been involved continuously. Mary Magdalene was at the foot of the cross and was first to see and report on Jesus after his Resurrection. Martha served the Lord along with her sister Mary and was present at the raising of Lazarus. She told Jesus: “Yes, Lord, I believe you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world” (John 11:27).

AUGUST 15
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Though it was not declared dogma until 1950, the story of Mary’s assumption into heaven has been told since the early fifth century. Most of the Church fathers taught that Mary died, but did not suffer corruption. Rather, she was taken body and soul into heaven. In his statement about the dogma, Pius XII says that she was taken, after “having completed the course of her earthly life.” In any case, Mary’s assumption anticipates the resurrection of the body, a promise given to all Christians and which we affirm in the Creed.

Canary, Vicar General, Archdiocese of Chicago, on July 16, 2009.

CHRISMON WORKSHOP

Chrismons are incredibly beautiful Christmas tree ornaments made from gold and pearl beads in the shape of liturgical symbols. These ornaments will become a treasured collection for St. Paul's for years to come. 

We will meet periodically from now till the Christmas season.  Watch the bulletin for future dates.  For more information call Mary McAllister at 263-9656.

 

NOVEMBER 1 and NOVEMBER 2
Solemnity of All Saints and Commemoration
of All the Faithful Departed

Saint Paul used the word saints with a lower case s to refer to all of the Christian community. These two days celebrate both those the Church recognizes to be saints (with an upper case S) and those whose status the Church does not; that is, everyone who has died in the peace of Christ. In Latin American countries, November 2, el dia de los muertos, is particularly significant. Families remember the dead by deco­rating altars in their homes and by decorating the graves with sugar skulls, special bread, marigolds, and pictures of their loved ones. On All Saints and All Souls, we remember that the Body of Christ is not limited to this time and place, but includes all those who have gone before and will come after.

NOVEMBER 21
Solemnity of Christ the King

Christ the King and the week following mark the end of the liturgical year. On The Thirty-third Sunday of Ordinary Time for Year C, the readings from 2 Samuel, Colossians, and Luke will explore what type of ruler Jesus is: head of the Church, co-creator, and reconciler. The Gospel relates the exchange between Jesus on the cross and the two thieves crucified with him. One of the thieves recognizes that Christ’s power is very different from physical or political power. This understanding will allow the thief a place with Christ in paradise. The truth is, we do not know when or how we will meet Christ. But it is our confident hope that we will be drawn into unity with God at that time and that Christ will reign over all.
