Boot camp for the soul March 8th In this class, we will be reading The World s Religions by Huston Smith. (Copies are in the St. Michael s, Bookstore or you may order your own. Please buy the 1991 edition.) This book provides an unbiased look at the world s major religions. We will be exploring the spiritual treasures hidden in traditions that are unfamiliar to us. We will be reflecting on the wisdom of each tradition rather than engaging in proving the superiority of Christianity. Hopefully, we will be able to cover Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism!

4 PRAY 20 MINUTES A DAY Prayer is responding to God, by thought and by deeds, with and without words. God is a self-giving and loving presence in our lives. God creates, redeems and sus- tains the whole universe in every minute of every day. We cannot draw a single THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDING THE THREE GREAT DAYS OF HOLY WEEK breath nor live a single moment except by the grace of God. Because God s power and action in our lives is so phenomenal, the human relationship with God easily be- "Dear People of God: The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord's passion and res- comes one sided. How are we to respond to God s amazing grace? How can we be in urrection..." (Book of Common Prayer, page 264) an ongoing and meaningful relationship with such a great and generous friend? The answer: Prayer. The three Great Days of Holy Week (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter) have been historically termed the Triduum. These three days are at the core of the Christian faith, without them the rest of the By praying 20 minutes a day, we attend to our relationship with God. By regularly praying, we respond to God s grace, offering something of our selves (our time and energy) as a gift back to God. Prayer may be a conversation with God in which words and thoughts are exchanged, but it need not be, for prayer is first and foremost a response to God s presence and grace in our lives. Prayer is a thank you and it is a gift. Praying is how we stay in healthy rela- church year, the weekly Celebration of the Resurrection and our faith become empty. It is the bounden duty of all Christians to participate in the liturgies of these days. This is the opportunity to experience once again the glory, despair and exaltation of Jesus' passion, death and resurrection.

Resource: While the services can be long and arduous at times, they are deeply moving and spiritual. They can nurture The Daily Office is an ancient way to pray. It marks the passage of time by offering Morning and Evening Prayer as the soul in ways as few other events do in the life of the Church. written in the Book of Common Prayer of Prayer, especially pages 123. A resource to follow the Daily Office: "The real meaning of Christianity is always and forever the relationship of redeemed human beings with the person of Jesus Christ in faith, trust, forgiveness and love. In this context we can understand what happened in the courtyard. Peter, swearing falsely in order to secure a moment of WORSHIP 1 HOUR A WEEK warmth and acceptance from the world, had turned against his Friend. And when that Friend turned back at Peter, Peter suddenly realized what he had done. He saw what he had just thrown When we worship, we unite ourselves with others to acknowledge the away, what he had forgotten, what he had denied., what he had betrayed. He had not denied a holiness of God, to hear God s word, to offer prayer, and to celebrate doctrine. He not embarrassed his culture. He had hurt a relationship. There was nothing left to the sacraments. do but to stumble out into the dark, blinded by burning tears, never, never to forget this moment And yes, when we say, Worship 1 hour a week, we are talking about going to church. Church worship offers a number of things other means of worship of shame. Yet he was destined to hear a few weeks later the voice of that Friend again, compelling, warm, and healing, saying to him by the lake, 'Simon, Son of John, do you love me?'" and praise do not. Worshipping in the church means being exposed to ancient customs that have been perfected over centuries of use. Worshipping in the (William Bausch, Storytelling the Word)
5 This season of Lent provided a time in which converts to the faith were prepared for Holy Baptism. It was also a time when those who, because of notorious sins, had been separated church means being challenged by people and ideas that will cause you to grow and change. Worshipping in the church means being united with the larger body of Christ where many members contribute uniquely to bring to life a from the body of the faithful were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness, and restored to larger whole. The Church is the only place where you will encounter the sacraments especially Baptism and Holy the fellowship of the Church. Thereby, the whole congregation was put in mind of the message Communion. of pardon and absolution set forth in the Gospel of our Savior, and of the need which all Chris- tians continually have to renew their repentance and faith. In a single generation much has changed about worship in the church. The greatest change of all may be the ex- pectation people of faith now have about what constitutes sufficient church worship in their lives. We know worship I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by in the church can be challenging in many ways. We know your lives are busy and that there are competing goods self examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and medi- that can make it hard to worship weekly. But please do not kid yourself: putting God first in your life means setting tating on God s holy Word (BCP, p.264f) aside time on every Sabbath day for worship with your church community. There is no substitute. SERVE 7 TIMES A WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US LITURGICALLY? COLOR: Violet/Purple MUSIC: MONTH We will begin each service with an Introit rather than a Processional Hymn. On the first and fifth Sundays we will begin with THE GREAT LITANY in procession around the Nave. All services Our duty is to love our neighbors as ourselves, to will begin with the Penitential Rite found at the beginning of the Celebration of care for the sick and serve the poor. (BCP, Rite I, page 319; Rite II page 351) Saint James wrote that faith without works is dead. READINGS: Year A This idea has caused controversy ever since, but there is We will have a moment of silence after each reading. On Palm Sunday we will use the Matthew Passion reading. EUCHARISTIC PRAYER We will use Eucharistic Prayer C in Rite II. (BCP, p. 369) PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE We will be using Form IV. (BCP, p. 388) POST COMMUNION We will use the second or alternate form (BCP, p. 366) FINAL BLESSING during the season of Lent. Instead of a blessing over the people, there is a Solemn Prayer over the people which begins with the words: Bow down before the Lord. Finally, all Alleluias will be omitted during Lent. no doubt Jesus cared for the sick, served the poor, and made friends with the outcast all through his earthly ministry. He commands his followers today to do the same. We serve others to ease their pain and share the love of God. Human life is hard, and for some, the complications and sadness of life can be unbearable. One of the principal ways God s love is made known to a hurting world is through the actions of people of faith. Serving others also opens our hearts and minds to the wider human experience and so causes us to grow. Finally, serving others is a reliable way of encountering Jesus himself, who teaches that when we serve the least among us, we serve Him. Serving seven times a month means you will have to commit sufficient time and energy to actually slow down and get to know the one you intend to serve. Serving means you will have to extend yourself beyond writing a check and taking a walk. Serving means you will have to do something real.
