Anno Domini 2025 May 6

Beloved of the Lord:

Today is Tuesday, 6 May, in the year of our Lord 2025. The scheduled services are as-follows:

• Tuesday (today): 5:30 PM, Mass, S.  John before the Latin Gate.
  6:30 PM, Holy Rosary, followed by Evensong.
• Wednesday: 12:10 PM, Mass, Patronage of S.  Joseph.
• Thursday: 8:00 AM, men's Morning Prayer & Breakfast.
  6:30 PM, services, followed by Soup & Study.
• Friday: 9:00 AM, Mass, Gregory of Nazianzus.
  10:00 AM, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
• Saturday: 10:00 AM, Holy Communion.
• Sunday: 8:30 & 10:00 AM, Mass, Easter III.

Well, the High, Holy Days are largely now behind us. In a matter of weeks, Trinitytide, the long, Green Season, will commence, and we shall be firmly ensconced in the second-half of our Christian Year, which addresses the life and nature of Holy Church, having passed-out of the first half, which holds the life of our Lord as its chief focus. Thus, Time goes marching-on, into the distance.

For the foreseeable future, nothing unusual appears on the horizon of the Kalendar. We shall tread the usual rounds, 'til September, when we will host the General Synod for the CAC, the dates of which are the Eleventh through the Thirteenth of that month. After that, we will once-more slip-into both the holidays- and Holy Days that occupy the end of the civil Calendar.

We've many assets here, at Saint Matthew's, up-to and including daily access to the most blessed sacrament, virtually every day of the year. Be sober, be vigilant, for your adversary walketh about like a roaring, seeking whom he may devour. I remain

in His praise,

The Rt. Rev'd T. L. Crowder

Pastor, Saint Matthew's Parish
