Download or read book The Feasts of the Lord written by Irving Risch and published by Irving Risch. This book was released on with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today is April 12th, 2017, and this year we have a New Moon on April 26th. New moons are always special on the Jewish calendar because of the feasts of God as celebrated in scripture. Even though I am a Christian and do not celebrate Jewish feast days, there are things we can learn from them as believers in Christ. And along with the feasts of God, we have the Jewish Calendar that applies to us Christians as well. We will see this as we go on. @page { margin: 0.79in } h1 { margin-bottom: 0.08in } h1.western { font-family: "Liberation Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 18pt } h1.cjk { font-family: "Noto Sans CJK SC Regular"; font-size: 18pt } h1.ctl { font-family: "FreeSans"; font-size: 18pt } p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; line-height: 120% } a:link { so-language: zxx } As with many things in scripture, we find double meanings from these feast days, and the events for Christians are all laid out for us in the Jewish Calendar. I want you to look at these lessons as a teaching and not a preaching. I want to cover a lot of ground here so sit back and be prepared to learn some things about the Feast Days of the Lord and the Calendar he gave to his earthly people Israel. Introduction I have given this writing the title “The Feasts of the Lord,” or “God's Prophetic Calendar.” Both the title and subtitle apply to this teaching. The idea of a Calendar originated with God, but it was for man’s benefit. Second Peter 3:8 tells us, “But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.” The calendar we are about to examine shows God’s plan for the human race. It begins with the death of Christ, and it’s followed by our need for sanctification. Christ’s resurrection, the beginning of the Church, the Rapture of the Church, the Tribulation that follows the rapture. The regathering and regeneration of Israel, and final the return of the Messiah’s return to reign on earth during the Millennium Kingdom. God’s prophetic calendar contained all of these events in sequence and located in one chapter of the Bible, Leviticus chapter twenty-three.

Download or read book Holy Days written by Pope Benedict XVI and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-18 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Pope Benedict XVI, "the liturgical year is a great voyage of faith on which the Church sets us out." The feast days in the Church's liturgical calendar follow the major events of Jesus' life as recounted in the Gospels. This cycle gives a rhythm to the life of the Church and helps Christians better understand the divine mystery. Especially in our secularized society, liturgical practices guide and deepen our path, centering our focus on Christ and teaching us how to live. Beginning with Advent and concluding with the feast of Christ the King, Pope Benedict's Holy Days presents excerpts from selected homilies that he has given over the course of the liturgical year in Rome. The book is organized by season and feast days, with brief introductions. This short devotional volume will be a welcome resource for priests and parishioners seeking to focus their minds in preparation for worship.

Download or read book Stunned by Scripture written by Dr. John S. Bergsma, Ph.D. and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pope, devotion to Mary, confession ... just where are these topics in the Bible? Why does the Catholic Church seem to focus on so many things that aren’t Scriptural? Or so thought former Protestant pastor John Bergsma. Stunned by Scripture: How the Bible Made Me Catholic is an engaging examination of the things Dr. Bergsma once considered obstacles to ever becoming Catholic himself. Over an eighteen-month spiritual journey, Bergsma was stunned again and again by the biblical support he found for even the stickiest teachings of the Catholic Church. Weaving his personal story into clear explanations of Catholic teachings as found in Scripture, Dr. Bergsma explores seven key Catholic doctrines, including: The Pope Devotion to Mary Confession The Eucharist The priesthood Belief in the Bible alone Salvation by faith alone theologies Stunned by Scripture will help Catholics understand, defend, and explain the biblical basis for the Faith and show them how the Bible solidly supports even the most frequently misunderstood Catholic teachings.
Download or read book A Catholic Introduction to the Bible written by John Bergsma and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 1066 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many Catholics are familiar with the four Gospels and other writings of the New Testament, for most, reading the Old Testament is like walking into a foreign land. Who wrote these forty-six books? When were they written? Why were they written? What are we to make of their laws, stories, histories, and prophecies? Should the Old Testament be read by itself or in light of the New Testament? John Bergsma and Brant Pitre offer readable in-depth answers to these questions as they introduce each book of the Old Testament. They not only examine the literature from a historical and cultural perspective but also interpret it theologically, drawing on the New Testament and the faith of the Catholic Church. Unique among introductions, this volume places the Old Testament in its liturgical context, showing how its passages are employed in the current Lectionary used at Mass. Accessible to nonexperts, this thorough and up-to-date introduction to the Old Testament can serve as an idea textbook for biblical studies. Its unique approach, along with its maps, illustrations, and other reference materials, makes it a valuable resource for seminarians, priests, Scripture scholars, theologians, and catechists, as well as anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible.

Download or read book Simple Psalter for Solemnities Feasts and Other Celebrations written by J. Michael Joncas and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Joncas’s new Simple Psalter synthesizes elements of previous styles of psalm-singing into a new pattern of engaging these sacred texts. Using the new Abbey Psalms and Canticles, Joncas sets every responsorial psalm in the three-year Lectionary in settings that work equally well a cappella or with keyboard accompaniment. The antiphon for each setting may be sung in unison or enhanced with optional voice or instrument parts, and the verses are set to a Gelineau-inspired "pulsed" psalm tone, notated in proposed speech-rhythm. Additionally, the tones of the Simple Psalter respect form-critical studies of psalms, assigning them to particular categories (e.g., different tones for hymns of praise, songs of thanksgiving, communal laments, etc.). The Simple Psalter is divided into four volumes: one for solemnities, feasts, and other celebrations, and one each for years A, B and C.
