The Council of Catholic Women invites you to participate in the PASSOVER SEDER, a service in which the story of the Exodus is recounted through ritual and prayer. Come and enjoy this holiday meal with your family and friends. The tickets for this special event will go on sale February 27th and 28th in the pavilion.Mark your calendar for Palm Sunday, March 28, at 2:00 p.m. in Fatima Hall. Dinner is $18.00 for adults and $9.00 for children. More details will follow. From the blog Biblical Evidence for Catholicism:
Passover in Judaism: "Past Events Become Present Today" (Analogy to the Sacrifice of the Mass) / "Remember" in Scripture
I
have heard that Jews celebrating Passover believe that the past becomes
present. As such, the Catholic sees a similarity to our notion of the Sacrifice of the Mass, and Jesus' death on the cross becoming present, and in a very real sense, transcending time altogether.
We also believe that the Last Supper, where the Holy Eucharist was
initiated, was a Passover meal. Many common notions could be explored
with regard to the development of traditional Jewish understanding and
Christian belief that is related to these in some fashion. For example,
one ecumenical Jewish site stated:
The
Jewish conviction that at the Seder past events become present today is
something that can resonate strongly with Catholics. The Catholic
concept of anamnesis corresponds to the Hebrew term zecher. Both refer to the use of ritual to make the past a lived present reality. (continued...)

February is dedicated to The Holy Family
Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod.
This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet, “Out of Egypt have I called my son.”
Matthew 2:13-15 RSV-SCE O most loving Jesus, Who by Thy surpassing virtues and the example
of Thy home life didst hallow the household in which Thou didst choose
to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose
members, humbly prostrate before Thee, implore Thy protection. Remember
that we are Thine, bound and consecrated to Thee by a special devotion.
Protect us in Thy mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our
necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the
imitation of Thy Holy Family, so that, by serving Thee and loving Thee
faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give Thee eternal
praise in heaven.
O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore thy assistance, knowing that thy divine Son will hearken to thy petition.
And do thou, most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with thy
powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she
may offer them to Jesus Christ. Amen. |
