Retreat Captain, Joe Cherpin, 676-6183 El Viñedo de Raquel Retiros de Sanación después delSymbols Aborto at the Easter Vigil As we approach the highest Day of the22nd Church we may wonder what some of the signs and symbols in the liturgy MarzoHoly 20th–Marzo 2015 mean...we will experience this at the Easter Vigil Mass when we see the “New Fire” lit...when we witness the “Glorious Pascal Candle” and when we hear the ringing of the bells at the Gloria...all of this speaks to us on a profound level -- speakwww.rachelsvineyard.org ing without words -- speaking directly to the heart. The Great [email protected] Vigil, is the most excellent celebration of the entire Christian year. There are many symbols associated (951) 365-1035 with this solemnity, some official, some tradition, but all of them help us to surround the feast with deep meaning, and to make it take root in our hearts. Los retiros del Viñedo de Raquel son una oportunidad hermosa para Newemocional Fire cualquier mujer o hombre que ha luchado con el dolor The symbol here is fire, an ancient force that signifies purging, zeal, power and awe.

Este retiro es presentado en la tradición Católica. minds by this Easter celebration and bring us one day to the feast of eternal light. Paschal Candle And while there are many symbols, the primary visual symbol at the Easter Vigil is the Paschal candle, the symbol of Christ himself, risen triumphantly from the dead, shining as the True Light to the nations. The tradition of a large candle as the symbol of Christ and of purity is seen as the symbol of the Resurrection. There are many rituals associated with the preparation of this candle as well. A cross is scored into the candle wax with a stylus, marking this as the sign of victory... above and below the cross are marked an Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. In the corners defined by the cross are marked the four numerals of the current year. In Christ’s journey from eternity to eternity, we are privileged each year to rejoice again at his supreme miracle of redemption and resurrection. Finally, five grains of incense are inserted at the center and arms of the inscribed cross and held in place by wax nails, honoring Christ’s five wounds. Sacrifice and pain is a reality, even in glory. At a certain place in the Liturgy, the Paschal candle leads the faithful into the church for prayer, readings, initiation and Eucharist. This where we as a community join in the procession from outside to inside the Church and take our seats...during this procession, there is the acclamation of Christ as our Light, each time more intense and higher in pitch, to which we respond, “Thanks be to God!” The highpoint of this Service of Light at the beginning of the Vigil is the Easter Proclamation (often called Exsultet from its first word in Latin). This is a glorious text, often sung to an ancient melody. An accurate and inspiring rendition is the goal of every Easter Vigil service. Bells Bells, which have not been heard since the Gloria of the Mass on Holy Thursday, are rung at the Gloria of the Easter Vigil. Bells have a very hallowed place among the musical symbols used by the Church. There is even a very privileged pontifical ceremony for their blessing. The bishop first washes the bell in holy water, then it is anointed inside and out with oil. Tower bells are traditionally given names of saints and their use lends a decidedly sacred tone to the ceremonies of the Vigil. So bring your bells on Easter Vigil and be a part of this glorious and most excellent celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord...Gloria to God in the Highest...

La Gran Vigilia de Pascual, es la más excelente celebración de todo el año cristiano. Hay muchos símbolos asociados con esta solemnidad, algunos oficiales, algunos de tradición, pero todos ellos nos ayudan a rodear la celebración con un significado profundo, y para hacerlo se arraigue en nuestros corazones. Fuego Nuevo El símbolo aquí es el fuego, una antigua fuerza que significa purga, el celo, el poder y el temor. El fuego debe ser de madera y / o carbón; y de ella se encendió tanto el cirio pascual y el carbón vegetal para el incensario (incensario). La llama debe ser encendida por la chispa de un pedernal... como la iluminación natural parece mucho más apropiada que otros medios. Una pequeña llama no es lo que la ceremonia está enfocada, idealmente este rito tiene lugar afuera de la iglesia, y es seguida por una verdadera procesión (un “desfile santo”) en el santuario. La oración poderosamente dice así: Hacer este nuevo fuego sagrado, y nos inflamar con una nueva esperanza. Purificar nuestras mentes por esta celebración de la Pascua y nos lleve un día para la fiesta de la luz eterna. Cirio Pascual Y si bien hay muchos símbolos, el símbolo visual primario en la Vigilia de Pascua es el cirio pascual, símbolo de Cristo mismo, resucitado de entre los muertos triunfalmente, brillante como la luz verdadera a las naciones. La tradición de una gran vela como símbolo de Cristo y de la pureza es visto como el símbolo de la Resurrección. Hay muchos rituales relacionados con la preparación de esta vela también. Una cruz es visible en la cera de la vela, marcando esto como el signo de la victoria... por encima y por debajo de la cruz se marcan un Alfa y la Omega, la primera y la última letra del alfabeto griego. En las esquinas definidas por la cruz se marcan los cuatro números del año en curso. En el viaje de Cristo desde la eternidad hasta la eternidad, tenemos el privilegio de cada año para regocijarse de nuevo en su milagro supremo de la redención y de la resurrección. Por último, cinco granos de incienso se insertan en el centro y los brazos de la cruz inscrita y mantienen en su lugar con clavos de cera, que honran cinco llagas de Cristo. Sacrificio y el dolor es una realidad, incluso en la gloria. En un determinado lugar en la Liturgia, el cirio pascual lleva a los fieles a la iglesia para la oración, lecturas, el inicio y la Eucaristía. Aquí es donde nosotros, como comunidad nos unimos a la procesión desde el exterior hacia el interior de la Iglesia y tomar nuestros asientos... durante esta procesión, está la aclamación de Cristo como nuestra luz, cada vez más intensa y más profunda, al que respondemos “¡Gracias a Dios!” El punto culminante de este Servicio de la Luz en el comienzo de la Vigilia es la Proclamación de Pascua (a menudo llamado Exsultet desde su primera palabra en latín). Este es un texto glorioso, cantado a menudo a una antigua melodía. Una interpretación precisa y estimulante es el objetivo de todos los servicios Vigilia de Pascua. Campanas Campanas, que no se han escuchado desde la Gloria de la Misa del Jueves Santo, cuando van pasando en el Gloria de la Vigilia de Pascua. Las campanas tienen un lugar muy sagrado entre los símbolos musicales utilizados por la Iglesia. Hay incluso una ceremonia pontificia muy privilegiada por su bendición. Los obispos primero, lavan la campana en agua bendita, a continuación, se unge dentro y por fuera con aceite. Tradicionalmente, las campanas de la torre se dan los nombres de los santos, y su uso se presta un tono decididamente sagrado para las ceremonias de la Vigilia. Así que traiga sus campanas en la Vigilia de Pascua y ser parte de esta celebración gloriosa y más excelente de la Resurrección del Señor ... Gloria a Dios en las Alturas .. Reflecting on God’s Word The conviction and enthusiasm of eyewitness accounts gives them a certain ring of truth. Yet the more eyewitnesses there are the more variance there may be in the details reported. Different witnesses may have seen different things—or seen things differently—but they usually agree on the fundamental truth about what happened. The Easter scriptures record the eyewitness accounts of Mary Magdalene, John, and Peter. Their credibility rests not on the precise details, but on the conviction and enthusiasm of the eyewitnesses. It is their belief in the Resurrection that convinces others to believe. Like these scriptural eyewitnesses, today’s believers are also “witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead” (Acts 10:41). We are called to “testify that he is the one appointed by God” (10:42) by giving eyewitness accounts of how the Spirit of the risen Christ is alive today. Our accounts may not agree in every detail, but the core truth will be the same, that Jesus Christ is risen indeed! Rev. Anthony Dao, Pastor Rev.
