Entombment Vespers



A remark:
Is there any potential for here for a time-traveling devotion, i.e. a simulation of our being present at our Lord's burial and then behaving accordingly (as in the case with certain Latin devotions)? The Christ we worship lives; how can we simulate otherwise? If that is the case, what is the use of the image of the dead Christ on the burial shroud if it does not convey the current reality? It is like the other icons depicting events from the life of Christ, a memorial for us to remember God's saving acts and to give thanks and praise to Him now?

A Perspective on Communion with the Bishop of Rome

Being Byzantine (Catholic) by Chase Padusniak

But if it is an interepiscopal squabble over the nature of primacy, were the Orthodox justified in protesting Roman claims about the authority of the bishop of pope if they went beyond Tradition, even to the point of breaking communion? While the Melkites have protested against certain ultramontanist interpretations of Vatican I, has anything changed in Roman teaching in the subsequent century and a half, despite the presence of the "Uniates"?

A Necessary Act of Inculturation?

Our Lady of Guadalupe in the Byzantine Rite

Should the supposed feast of the patroness of the Americas (rather than just Ibero-America) be observed by the BCA? Why isn't it sufficient for the United States to observe the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (or the Feast of the Conception of St. Anna)? It is not even clear to me that the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is important to the rest of Ibero-America, rather than just to Mexico. Was the declaration of Our Lady of Guadalupe as the patroness of the Americas by Pope John Paul II, in conjunction with the earlier "synod" of bishops, motivated by political or patriarchate concerns?

Give Us This Day

Published by Liturgical Press, it seems like a competitor for Magnificat, but it probably has a different audience in mind, or its brand of Roman Catholicism would appeal to a different audience.

(The Byzantine Catholic equivalent would be Theosis.)
