Wednesday Edition
The Feast of St. Athanasius, Theologian, Doctor
“St. Athanasius against the World”
“Anthanasius contra mundum,” that is, “Athanasius against the world,” was the reference used in connection with this man, the subject of today’s short piece. In a world starving for truly masculine role models, St. Athanasius stands out as a...

St. Mark the Evangelist and His “Accompanying Signs”
First, Who is St. Mark?. Today, April 25, marks the Feast of St. Mark the Evangelist. The early Church Fathers believed that Mark, also called John Mark, was in close attendance upon St. Peter; that he drew heavily upon Peter's preaching and teaching to produce the Gospel of Mark (written in Rome perhaps between A.D...

Easter is not Over!
Don’t Let Down Now. A few short days ago we celebrated the Sunday of the Resurrection. The temptation is to think, "Well, that's one more holiday down. Let me see, what comes next"? May it never be! Easter is a permanent condition for us Christians. That's why the Church so wisely declares that each and every Sunday...

Making Sense of the Liturgy – Part 9
A Climactic Moment. In the Wednesday edition of two weeks ago (Last week I was on vacation) we discussed that part of the Eucharistic Liturgy which we call the Consecration. Remember. The Consecration includes two very important parts, the epiclesis and the Words of Institution: The epiclesis is an invoking of the Holy Spirit...

Making Sense of the Liturgy – Part 7
Last week we concluded with the "Passing of the Peace," which ends the first of the two major parts of the Liturgy. Now we go into Part II, the Great Thanksgiving (“Eucharist”, of course, means “thanksgiving”).
The Offertory: the word "offertory" is thought by many to be equivalent to...

Caution. Anglicans are liturgical. The Liturgy is a gift given to us by the Lord Jesus. We must guard against making so much of the gift that we lose sight of the Giver. Today we want to pick up with the Creed, the Prayers, the Confession, and the Peace, and next week transition into Part II of the Holy Eucharist.
The Nicene Creed. Here we declare...

I will return next week to the series on Making Sense of the Liturgy. For today, however, I would like to offer a few short comments on the significance of this day, Ash Wednesday:
1. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent which lasts 40 days (Sundays are not counted). The 40-day period refers to biblical periods of testing such as Moses’...

Making Sense of the Liturgy – Part 5
Important Note. It is important to understand the Liturgy for one central reason, that is, in order to draw closer to the Lord Jesus, who gave the liturgy to us for our blessing.
The Collect. Following the reading of the Gloria and before we launch into the actual reading of the Word of God, the priest prays a...

Making Sense of the Liturgy – Part 4
Picking Back up with the Liturgy. As I have said previously, "Our Liturgy, that is, our service of Holy Eucharist, has two major parts: (1) The Liturgy of the Word; and (2) the Great Thanksgiving." Today, then, I want to begin talking about the first of those two major parts, the Liturgy of the Word.
First...
