3. Feast and Season of the Epiphany - www.episcopalian.org

The Feast of the EPIPHANY, the twelfth day after Christmas, begins the season of EPIPHANY, which continues in the Church Year to the beginning of Lent. ...
If we think that the Feast (or even the season) of the Epiphany is only about the visit of the (three) kings or magi or wise men "from the east" then we only partially appreciate it! There is much more to it.
It is a Greek name because the Festival was in origin and for its first period of celebration an Eastern Mediterranean Christian feast, not a Roman one. ...
Possibly the focusing of the feast of the Manifestation particularly on the visit of the magi/kings in the West is related to the moving of their supposed relics from Constantinople to Milan in the fourth century, when Milan was capital of the western half of the Roman Empire.
Related to the Epiphany/Manifestation of the Son of God incarnate to the Gentiles are two other central Manifestations of God observed at this time -- very particularly so in the East on the feast day, Jan 6, but also in the West during the season of Epiphany.
These other two are (a) the Manifestation of the Holy Trinity at the Baptism of Jesus when the Father speaks to the Son and the Spirit from the Father descends upon the Son (Mark 1:1-11),and (b) the Manifestation of Jesus as the One Person made known in two Natures when he performed the "sign" at Cana of Galilee - the miracle of water into wine (John 2:1-11). ...
That is, the setting forth by Gentile Christian bishops the dogma of the One, Blessed, Holy and Undivided Trinity and of the One Person of Christ Jesus made know in two natures, divine and human.
Returning to the Western celebration of the Epiphany feast proper on January 6, it is an old tradition that states that there were three visitors (because three gifts) and that they were kings. ...
The Manifestation to mankind by Jesus Christ & the Holy Trinity has for its ultimate purpose the deification of man through salvation and sanctification and glorification. Thus the Collect for the Feast itself prays that "we may have the fruition (= enjoyment) of thy glorious Godhead" - the beatific vision, the seeing of the glory of the Father in the face of the Incarnate Son.
The translation provided above points to the same glorious conclusion as Augustine & Cranmer had in mind, but it picks up more clearly on the theme of "being led onwards" (in the case of the magi by a star and of ourselves by faith) and of "contemplation/gazing" (the magi gazed at the heavens and then upon the Only-Begotten Son Incarnate, while we shall see the glory of the Father in the face of the exalted Jesus Christ).
The people of God make petition for divine assistance so that, after being faithful sojourners and pilgrims here on earth in this evil age, they will be experience the full realization of Christian hope and see the Glory of the Father in the face of Jesus Christ in the glorious age to come. ...

5. Letter for 50th anniversary of the Benedictine Sisters of Reparation of the Holy Face, 2000 - www.vatican.va

SISTERS OF REPARATION OF THE HOLY FACE.
On the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the beloved Benedictine Congregation of the Sisters of Reparation of the Holy Face of Our Lord Jesus Christ, I am pleased to share in the thanks that you, Your Eminence, are offering to the Lord together with the sisters of this worthy religious institution, which for many years you have been guiding with enlightened and diligent care. ... In the light of the Gos-pel admonition, he was able to see in those "little ones" the suffering face of Jesus. ... Constant reference to the Holy Face of Christ has sustained the spirituality of those who, from the foundation of the congregation until today, have endeavoured to make reparation for the offences daily committed against the Lord: an endeavour translated, according to the invitation of St Benedict, into a daily life of prayer ("ora") and the unceasing effort ("labora") to stand beside the endless crosses on which the Son of God continues to be crucified. The Virgin Mary is the model chosen for the Sisters of Reparation of the Holy Face by the Servant of God Abbot Ildebrando Gregori when he founded the congregation on the feast day of the Assumption. ... This expansion of presence and service has made it possible to undertake new forms of assistance to the poorest and most suffering, whether children or the elderly, in which the suffering Face of Jesus appears again, sometimes in particularly touching forms. ... With this in mind, the congregation has made a decisive contribution to the creation of the International Institute for Research on the Face of Christ, whose aim is to encourage, through annual congresses, useful publications and numerous programmes, a deeper reflection on the Face of Jesus and the spread of devotion to it, both of which are underscored in the biblical phrase inscribed on the Holy Face medal: "Illumina, Domine, Vultum tuum super nos". ... I entrust these wishes to the intercession of Mary, Mother of the crucified and risen Christ, asking her to help the Sisters of Reparation of the Holy Face to live their vows with both the rigour and the joy of those who, by following the evangelical counsels, unite themselves with Christ who, out of love, was "obedient, chaste and poor" (cf. ... With these sentiments, I am pleased to impart a special Apostolic Blessing to Your Eminence, to the Sisters of Reparation of the Holy Face and to all who join them in giving thanks to God for this happy Jubilee anniversary. ...

These will be days of more intense prayer and meditation in which, aided by the moving rites of Holy Week, we will reflect on the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. ...
"Therefore," the Catechism of the Catholic Church underlines, "Easter is not simply one feast among others, but the ´Feast of feasts,´ the ´Solemnity of solemnities,´ just as the Eucharist is the ´Sacrament of sacraments´ (the Great Sacrament). ... 329) and the Eastern Churches call Holy Week ´the Great Week. ...
Tomorrow, Holy Thursday, we will contemplate Christ, who in the Cenacle, on the eve of his passion, made a gift of himself to the Church, instituted the ministerial priesthood, and left his disciples a new commandment, the commandment of love. ... Following the moving Holy Mass of the Lord´s Supper, we will keep a vigil of adoration with the Lord, obeying the wish that he expressed to the apostles in the Garden of Olives: "Remain here and keep watch with me" (Matthew 26:38). ...

We shall also be close to all who suffer and are persecuted as Jesus was, and we shall lay at his feet our deep desire for peace!

May these holy days be a time of peace for you and your families. ...

13. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Feast of Guardian Angels - www.newadvent.org

Home > Catholic Encyclopedia > G > Feast of Guardian Angels .
Feast of Guardian Angels.
This feast, like many others, was local before it was placed in the Roman calendar. It was not one of the feasts retained in the Pian breviary, published in 1568; but among the earliest petitions from particular churches to be allowed, as a supplement to this breviary, the canonical celebration of local feasts, was a request from Cordova in 1579 for permission to have a feast in honour of the guardian angels. ...
So far the feast of Guardian Angels remained local. ... "Paul V", he writes, "gave an impetus to the veneration of Guardian Angels (long known in the East and West) by the authorization of a feast and proper office in their honour. At the request of Ferdinand of Austria, afterwards emperor, he made them obligatory in all regions subject to the Imperial power; to all other places he conceded them ad libitum, to be celebrated on the first available day after the Feast of the Dedication of St. ... It is believed that the new feast was intended to be a kind of supplement to the Feast of St. ... Among the numerous changes made in the calendar by Clement X was the elevation of the Feast of Guardian Angels to the rank of an obligatory double for the whole Church to be kept on 2 October, this being the first unoccupied day after the feast of St. ... Finally Leo XIII (5 April, 1883) favoured this feast to the extent of raising it to the rank of a double major. ...
Such in brief is the history of a feast which, though of comparatively recent introduction, gives the sanction of the Church's authority to an ancient and cherished belief. The multiplicity of feasts is in fact quite a modern development, and that the guardian angels were not honoured with a special feast in the early Church is no evidence that they were not prayed to and reverenced. ... It is to be noted that the Feast of the Dedication of St. ... There are five proper collects and prefaces assigned to this feast in the Leonine Sacramentary (seventh century) under the title "Natalis Basilicae Angeli in Salaria" and a glance at them will show that this feast included a commemoration of the angels in general, and also recognition of their protective office and intercessory power. ... These extracts make it plain that the substantial idea which underlies the modern feast of Guardian Angels was officially expressed in the early liturgies. ...
"Let us praise the Lord whom the Angels praise, whom the Cherubim and Seraphim proclaim Holy, Holy, Holy" (second antiphon of Lauds). ... Matthew 28:10: "See that you despise not one of these little ones: for I say to you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. " Although 2 October has been fixed for this feast in the Roman calendar, it is kept, by papal privilege, in Germany and many other places on the first Sunday (computed ecclesiastically) of September, and is celebrated with special solemnity and generally with an octave (Nilles, II, 503). ...

As at the crib, in a glance of faith we embrace together the divine Child and the persons beside him: his most holy Mother and Joseph, his putative father. ...
To gather round the Bethlehem grotto contemplating there the Holy Family, enables us to appreciate the gift of family intimacy in a special way, and spurs us to offer human warmth and concrete solidarity in those unfortunately numerous situations which, for various reasons, lack peace, harmony, in a word, lack "family". ...
The message that comes from the Holy Family is first of all a message of faith: the family of Nazareth is a home which truly centres on God. ...
When parents and children together breathe this atmosphere of faith they have a ready energy that enables them to face even difficult trials, as the Holy Family's experience shows.

"Now the parents of Jesus went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom; and when the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. ...
"Now the parents of Jesus went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover. ...
On Sunday after Christmas, that is to say today, the Church proposes us to celebrate a special feast in order to honor the Holy Family: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Now, what could be the goal of the Church, and therefore that of the Holy Spirit who guides her, in proposing to us such a celebration? The answer immediately appears to our minds. ... It is clear that the feast of today is destined to highlight the one who never speaks in the gospel, Joseph, the spouse of Mary.
"When the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. ...
After this test was finished, they could then face all, because the graces which they deserved during these three decisive days should be always their help.
In any case, this story of the Gospel is about a Mystery of the Holy Family! So, it is possible that this may not fully concern us, because every family has its secrets.
May this holy communion of today be for us the sure link that constantly better unites us to the whole family of heaven!.

Manoppello Holy Face Fare clic qui per la versione italiana .
Introduction Every year innumerable pilgrims visit the Church of the Volto Santo (Holy Face) in Manoppello, to admire that image which, according to tradition, but also to long and thorough research, may have been the impression of Christ's face on a shroud. ...
History In 1640 Padre Donato from Bomba wrote a "Relazione Istorica" where he told the story of the Holy face, the Veil representing the Face of Christ. ...
In 1646 the Holy face was offered to public cult in the hurch of San Michele Arcangelo, but was still preserved in private quarters for another forty years. In 1686, when the lythurgical feast of the transfiguration was established on 6 August, the Volto Santo was moved to a chapel inside the church. ...
The veneration of the Holy Face increased enormously following the 1703 earthquake that hit Abruzzo, Umbria and Sannio. On the second Sunday in May theHoly Face was carried in a procession through the places affected by the natural disaster. ...
Research According to some scholars the Holy Face of Manoppello took form in Jesus' tomb, in Jerusalem, when it was placed over the Shroud. ...
As a matter of fact, in 753 a procession was recorded with Pope Stephen II carrying an "Acheropsita", that is an icon on which a painted veil was placed, known at the time as the Holy Face of the Sancta Sanctorum Chapel in the Popes' Palace in Laterano; it was very likely the Holy Face now in Manoppello. ...

19. holyfacedevotion - www.greatspiritualbattle.com

Holy Face of Jesus.
That devotion is to the Holy Face of Jesus.
On one end, previous to the beginning of the Lenten season, is the devotion He has requested to His Holy Face and His Passion that He suffered for all mankind on His Way to and on the Cross.
And, then, on the following Sunday, on the other bookend, we have access to an outpouring of Jesus’ graces in the Divine Mercy Feast.
Although John Paul II has made it a feast in the Universal Church, many priests are behind in their understanding of the Divine Mercy devotion; many believers, however, comprehend this great gift and take advantage of its enormous graces.
Unfortunately, hardly anyone knows or is paying attention to our Lord’s request that before we commemorate all of these incredible events, we first make reparation to His Holy Face for the “kiss of judas. ...
And, as we are about to enter the Lenten season, we have a chance to plead with Jesus for peace on Earth and His Reign as the King of All Nations through this great devotion to His Holy Face!.
This specific devotion to the Lord’s Holy Face was approved long ago by Pope Pius XII — one of the greatest popes who ever lived and who has been attacked by the evil one for one of the greatest dogmas ever promulgated: the Assumption of Mary! That is why we hear all this nonsense about Pius XII aiding and abetting nazis, when, in reality, he was saving as many people as possible from the horror of the gas chambers.
The same is true for those who honor the Holy Face of Christ! So this great pontiff is also under attack for this reason; another devotion that the evil one knows more about than most believers.
And it also includes the pontiff’s approval of the nine-day Novena to the Holy Face of Jesus that precedes Shrove Tuesday. ...
While the Lord was speaking to Saint Faustina in the 1930s setting up His request for the Divine Mercy Feast, He was also speaking to Sister Maria Pierina, setting up His request for a feast day dedicated to His Holy Face!.
How fascinating that Jesus would choose this nun with this particular name as His vessel to promote devotion to His Holy Face. ...
Because back in the mid-1800s, the Lord will reveal to another nun the great blessings He bestows upon those who venerate His Holy Face, a devotion He requested not just before we begin Lent, but for every Tuesday of the year. ...
Mary, as in the Name of the Woman who gave Jesus His Sacred Holy human Face; and Peter, as in the name of the one who gazed upon the Passion of our Lord’s Face three times in denial before coming to his senses as the Rock who will martyr himself for the Gospel as the first vicar of Jesus’ Church.
A Church that the Lord is still waiting on to universally venerate His Holy Face.
On April 17, 1958, Pope Pius XII will confirm the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus based on Mother Pierina’s revelations, and join Pope Leo XIII who confirmed the Archconfraternity of Reparation to the Holy Face of Jesus in the late 1800s based on the revelations of Sister Marie Pierre. ...

Feast of the Holy Family.
Then as usual our gospel "fleshes-out" our message by the beautiful example of how our Holy Family handled these same roles.
Feast of the Holy Family.
The feast of the Holy Family is a relatively new feast of the Church. This feast wasn’t established until late in the 19th century when there seemed to be a major crisis in families around the world, to some extent what we face now. The Church was quick to respond and established this special feast day. ... a day devoted to family life with the idea that families would become imitators of the Holy Family. There’s an overall feeling or theme one can derive from this special feast and from the readings for this Sunday. ... as each member of the Holy Family is obedient to the will of God in all they do. ...
Mary accepts the angel’s word that the Holy Spirit will overshadow her and hence the Child will be the Son of God. ...
Mary knows Jesus her son so well that the first miracle He performs is at her request at the wedding feast at Cana. ...
When we look at the Holy Family we see three great examples of how to live our lives, how to truly have a blessed life, a blessed family. ...
This feast day calls us all, be we parents or children, to look at our lives, at how we are acting. Are we good parents? Are we good children? Do we honor our parents in the “old age”? Are we sure they have the opportunity to live dignified lives? There is present in the Holy Family a guide for each of us no matter what stage in life we are. We should do everything possible to imitate the Holy Family.
We should always remember that it is from “Holy Families” that most vocations to the religious and the ordained life come. Each of us should be doing all we can to be the imitators of Jesus, Mary and Joseph so that our family will also be a Holy Family.
