<P> Dear Friends,
<P>Easter again so soon! It is always such a joyful, albeit tiring, time. We have a full programme of Holy Week and Easter services. If you are to be in Budapest for even some of that period and would like to be part of the music group, please speak to me. We hope that Christopher Daniels will be able to again direct our Easter music in the midst of his hectic schedule. As far as possible practices are scheduled for 9.00 a.m. on Sunday morning before the Eucharistic celebration.Easter, with Holy Week leading into it, is the high-point of the Christian year. Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday when we symbolically join with the crowds to welcome the Lord as he enters Jerusalem with other Jews from many different lands, all coming to the Holy City for Passover. We bless palm crosses outside the church and then process in with them as an act of devotion and witness.
On Maundy Thursday we celebrate the institution of the Holy Communion by the Lord. At this service the elements for the Good Friday communion are con-secrated and set on the Altar of Repose where they represent the Lord Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane during his time of anguished prayer and waiting prior to his arrest. As the disciples waited there with Jesus, those who wish can join in a one hour Watch with him in a time of quietness following the ceremony of Stripping the Altar. A traditional part of Maundy Thursday services is the Foot Washing which recalls the action of Jesus on this night before his Last Supper.On Good Friday the eucharist is not celebrated because of the solemn nature of the events of the day. However, we do have communion, using the elements con-secrated on the previous evening (hence the name given to this service - Mass of the Pre-sanctified). The Litany followed by Stations of the Cross begins at 2.00 p.m.. The Good Friday Liturgy is at 3.00 p.m., the hour of the Crucifixion.
Holy Saturday is a time of waiting and reflection. We await the joyful news of Christ’s resurrection. It is usual to celebrate the first Mass of Easter during the evening of Easter Eve, remembering that the new day for Jews begins with the onset of darkness. This beautiful celebration is the traditional highpoint of the Christian Year. It is sad that many people are unable to be present to appreciate the significance and beauty of the worship. The liturgy is in four parts: Service of Readings; Service of Light; Renewal of Baptismal Vows; Holy Eucharist. The whole ceremony originally lasted through the night as people meditated on the mighty acts of God as recalled by the Bible readings, and then, at dawn, the Lord’s resurrection was proclaimed. This Great Vigil proclaims the resurrection in both dramatic ceremony and spoken word. The Paschal Candle symbolizes Christ, the Light of the World, risen from the darkness of the grave. The main feature is the joyful procession through. The ancient hymn of Easter, the Exultet is sung. The Renewal of Bap-tismal Vows complete our Lenten discipline and is an affirmation of our union with Christ in his death and rising. The fitting climax is the celebration of the Eucharist in which we are sacramentally united with the Risen Lord. The service takes place at night, as did his resurrection. It represents the great victory which our Lord Christ won on the Cross of Calvary over the powers of darkness.
There will be a celebration of the Eucharist on Easter Day. This is often the most suitable time for those with young children. Easter is the one specific time when we are expected to make our communion. If anyone is prevented by illness, etc. just let me know. The sacrament can be taken to them.
During Lent on each Wednesday evening at 6.00 p.m. there will be a Bible study followed by Stations of the Cross. Stations of the Cross is a traditional way of following the Lord on his way to Calvary, as did a number of his disciples at the time, and of experiencing something of what he suffered for us. This proved to be a popular Lenten discipline last year. The only other weekday service this month is a celebration for S. Joseph on Saturday the 19th at 6.30 p.m.
the church, commencing in darkness with light gradually filling the gloom as the candles are lit from the light which is Christ.On the weekend of the 6th of March we welcome Bishop David Hamid, Suffragan Bishop in Europe, on his first visit to this Chaplaincy. He will celebrate the eucharist on that day and also confirm Simon Harding who has become a regular member of our congregation. His two daughters, Sophie and Naomi will be baptized. Bishop David will meet with the Chaplaincy Council later.We welcome Flóra Klaudia Lelkesz, baptized here on the 20th February, into the fellowship of the Church. Please pray for her and her family.
Wishing you many blessings.
<P>A Jewish businessman sent his son to Israel for a year to absorb the culture.
When the son returned he said:
Papa, I had a great time in Israel. By the way, I converted to Christianity.
Oy vey, said the father, What have I done!
He took his problem to his best friend. Ike, he said, I sent my son to Israel, and he came home a Christian. What can I do?
Funny you should ask, said Ike, I too sent my son to Israel and he also came home a Christian.
Perhaps we should go see the Rabbi.
Funny you should ask, said the Rabbi, I too sent my son to Israel, and he also came home a Christian.
What is happening to our young people?
They prayed, telling the Lord about their sons. A voice came from the heavens saying:
Funny you should ask, I too sent my Son to Israel
