FEAST OF OUR LADY OF THE HARVEST: In the Maronite Church there are three unique feasts that celebrate Mary, they are: Our Lady of the Seeds, January 15 Our Lady of the Harvest, May 15 Our Lady of the Grapes, August 15 The Syriac Churches developed the earliest Marian theology, focusing on typology, symbolism, creation and the Incarnation. There are textual records of these feasts from the fifth and sixth centuries in the Antiochene Church, but tradition maintains their origins go back to late apostolic times. It is possible that these feasts grew out of earlier agricultural feasts and they are linked with the natural seasons of the Earth. In Syriac thought, creation does not only contain symbols of God, rather in it, everything has been placed to reveal God in his hiddenness. There is a connection between these feasts and the Mystery of the Eucharist. The three feasts yield the ingredients for bread and wine and grapes link the Virgin Mary to the Eucharist. Their symbolism is best captured in the celebration of Maronite Divine Liturgy. As the gifts are being received on the altar, we chant; Alleluia! Our Lord Jesus said “I am the Bread of Life.From the Father I was sent as Wordwithout flesh to give new life. Of the Virgin Mary I was born, taking flesh as man; as good earth receives a seed, her womb received me. Priestly hands now lift me high above the altars. ”Alleluia! Our gifts, Lord, receive. Through Mary the Word was made flesh. Through faith and reason she chose to bear the Son of God whowould save the world from their sins. On this glorious feast, we given thanks to Our Lady! Through the harvest of wheat and grapes, we gracefully receive the gifts of bread and wine, which have become the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is our sad duty to announce the passing of Chorbishop Joseph F. Kaddo, who passed away peacefully at 4:30am at Catholic Memorial Home in Fall River, MA. Details are attached in the previous post. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful priests that have gone before him, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
It is with great regret to inform you of the passing of Deacon Anthony Koury from Our Lady of Lebanon Church - Easton. May he rest in peace!
Does anger still reign in your hearts? Then you turned from the Lord, Christ, who died on the cross, your true teacher. If love for your neighbor is gone, then you hate Jesus Christ, who taught mercy and love and forgiveness. From the Prayer of Forgiveness on the Saturday of the Light.
