The
Feast of
Saint
Mary the Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ
August
15, 2020
On August 15, the church celebrates the Feast of
Saint Mary the Virgin. Mary, the mother of Christ, has been
celebrated since the earliest days of the Christian church. Mary
is prominent in the Gospels. When Mary greeted her cousin
Elizabeth she filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a
loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit
of your womb." (Luke 1:42) Mary was often with the other
women who followed Jesus and ministered to his needs. At Calvary,
she was among the little band of disciples who kept watch at the
cross. After the resurrection, she was to be found with the
Twelve in the upper room, watching and praying until the coming
of the Spirit at Pentecost.
Later devotion has claimed many things for Mary
which cannot be proved from Holy Scripture. What we can believe
is that one who stood in so intimate a relationship with the
incarnate Son of God on earth must, of all the human race, have
the place of highest honor in the eternal life of God. A
paraphrase of an ancient Greek hymn expresses this belief in very
familiar words: "Oh higher than the cherubim, more glorious
than the seraphim, lead their praises, alleluia." (Holy
Women, Holy Men)
O God, you have taken to yourself the blessed Virgin
Mary, mother of your incarnate Son; Grant that we, who have been
redeemed by his blood, may share with her the glory of your
eternal kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now
and for ever. Amen. (BCP 243)

Kwanzaa Kitchen: Janis has
been able to come up with a unique way in which we will continue
to feed the hungry in this important ministry. It involves fewer
than 6 people and we will pack the food to go and place it
outside on tables for people to take their breakfast with them.
We will continue this way until we are able to gather groups
together again.
