In comparison with the more expansive
orations for the last two “feast Sundays” (the Holy Name and the Holy
Family), note the conciseness of these prayers—typical for the “time
throughout the year” (aka “ordinary time”). THE SEASONS OF CHRISTMAS AND
EPIPHANY, AND THE SEASON AFTER EPIPHANY Serious Catholics live and breathe the liturgical
calendar of the Church, with its overlapping sanctoral and temporal cycles,
its saints and seasons. We have now completed two of the briefer but more
festive seasons of the Church year, which together make up the 20 days of
Christmastide: -
The Season of Christmas consisting of
the traditional “twelve days of Christmas” from December 25 through January 5
(the eve of the Epiphany). -
The Season of Epiphany consisting of the liturgical octave
of 8 days beginning with the feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord on January 6
and ending with the Baptism of the Lord on January 13. We have now entered the
Season
after Epiphany, which extends from January 14 through the eve of
Septuagesima Sunday, the first of the three pre-Lenten Sundays on the
traditional (extraordinary form) Church calendar. On the traditional extraordinary
form calendar, the Sundays of the season after Epiphany are counted as
“Sundays after Epiphany”. They correspond to the initial “Sundays of ordinary
time” on the newer ordinary form calendar. Depending on the date of Easter in
a given year, there may be anywhere from one to six of these Sundays between
the Epiphany and Septuagesima Sunday. THE GOSPELS OF EPIPHANY AMD THE
SEASON AFTER EPIPHANY The liturgy of this extended period
features the great Epiphany Gospels given us by the Church (in the traditional calendar and liturgy)
on the principal feasts and Sundays of this season. Each of these Gospels
presents a particular manifestation (or “epiphany”) of the Divinity of Our
Lord Jesus Christ. On this Second Sunday after Epiphany we recall His
manifestation of His divinity in his first miracle at Cana, as described in
this Sunday’s Gospel (John 2:1-11): At the
wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, Jesus, at His Mother’s bidding, changes
water into wine. And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the
mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and his
disciples, to the marriage. And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine. And
Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and
to thee? My hour is not yet come. His
mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall
say to you, do ye. (John 2:1-5)
The Marriage at Cana (Maerten
de Vos, c. 1596)
Now there were set there six waterpots of
stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two
or three measures apiece. Jesus saith to
them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim. And Jesus saith
to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they
carried it. And when the chief steward had tasted the
water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had
drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the
bridegroom, And saith
to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine,
and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept
the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in
Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
(John 2:6-11) PLENARY INDULGENCES FOR THE YEAR OF SAINT JOSEPH
What
is a plenary indulgence? A plenary indulgence is the
remission before God of all temporal punishment due—either here on earth
while still alive, or in purgatory after death--to sin already remitted and
forgiven. A plenary indulgence is granted by the Church, which has the power
to dispense the treasures gained through the merits and sacrifices of Christ
and of the Saints. POPE LEO XIII’S PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH Pope Leo reported a vision in the
1880s in which he foresaw a century of attacks on the Faith from within and
without the Church. For protection against error and corruption of belief, he
composed and urged on the faithful both the familiar prayer to St. Michael
(original complete form here) and the following
Prayer to St. Joseph:
For ready reference, a link (here) to this indulgenced prayer
will remain visible at the KLMC home page www.knoxlatinmass.net throughout this
Year of Saint Joseph. ONLINE WEEKLY LATIN MASS NEWSLETTER |
