Hi,
I am Father Mark Tiger, creator
of this blog.
I am an independent Catholic Priest. I run a private Oratory called Saint
Titus. (Fr. Mark of St. Titus)
I bring this message
for everybody in the world:
“Peace, Abundance, and
Protection
For our Earth,
And all it’s
inhabitants."
I call all to
reflection, prayer, and a request, for the improvement of the state of our
Earth.
My desire is to
call all of humankind to reflect on this thought, everyday, preferably at
midday, or first thing in the morning or in the evening. I am calling all Catholics,
Protestants, all Christians, and people of all other religions, as well as
those who don't subscribe to a religion, and those who don't believe in
God. All of us whoever we are, we Inhabit
this Earth.
17th Sunday After Pentecost by Fr. Mark:
Greetings to all,
Today we again think of our
Earth and her great need, as we think on these words:
"Peace, Abundance, and
Protection
For our Earth,
And all it's
inhabitants."
Where-ever you stand or don’t
stand from a religious point of view, please keep this reflection close to your
heart at all times. We need to stand
together as Humankind, and turn the progress of Global Warming around. By thinking about these words, we will start
to think of things we can do, and hopefully start planting trees and putting
into practice other things that will make a difference.
"Peace, Abundance, and
Protection
For our Earth,
And all it's
inhabitants."
Here is a brief overview of
what various religious groups are thinking about at this time. We will go into a little more detail for the
Traditional Catholics, and Liberal Catholics.
Roman Catholic: 25th Sunday of
Ordinary Time (Green)
Protestant: No specific
celebration this Sunday
Hebrew: Yom Kippur: starts at Sunset of September 25
through nightfall of September 26
Buddhist: September is
contemplation on "Craving"
Hindu: Sep 19 - Ganesh
Chaturthi
Muslim/Sufi: 9/23: Vigil for freedom of religion in Saudi
Arabia
Taoist: Festival honoring the shen of winds; Thanksgiving
is made for the harvest.
Pagan/Wiccan: Ostara
(Spring/Vernal Equinox) Sept 20-23; Northern Hemisphere Date: March (20-23),
Also known as Eostre.
Traditional Catholic
(Tridentine): 17th Sunday after Pentecost,
Colour Green, class B
Intent:
Charity towards God and our neighbour.
Collect:
Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that Thy
people may shun all the wiles of the devil:
and with pure mind follow Thee, the only God. Through our
Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the
unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
Details:
The Liturgy reminds us today of the great
commandment of charity towards God and our Neighbour. "The precept is
twofold," declares St Augustine,
"but charity is one." We
love God above all and our neighbour for his sake.
St Linus, the succesor of St Peter in the
Apostolic See. Ruled the church for
about nine years. He was Martyrd, and
was buried next to the Prince of the Apostles, on this day in A.D. 78.
St Thecla was converted by St Paul, Under
the emperor Nero vain attempts were made to compass her death by fire, by
serpents, by wild beasts. After a
life of solitary retirement, she died at the age of 90, on this day.
Note that the colour for St
Linus is RED, and a class C service.
This means that you can optinally celebrate in Red today, and put the
number of candles on the altar to satisfy class D,C, or B. In other words, the bare essential number of
candles, and right up to a bit less than a major celebration like Christmas.
Liberal Catholic: 16th Sunday
after Trinity, Colour Green, class D
Intent:
Justice
Collect:
O God, in whom is no variableness, niether
shadow of turning; we lean upon thy justice as upon a pillar of thy throne; we
thank and bless thee for thy holy law
that changeth not and pray for wisdom that under it we may live according to
thy will, who lliveth and reignest, Father, Son and Spirit one God for evermore. Amen.
Let us all say these words
together now:
"Peace, Abundance, and
Protection
For our Earth,
And all it's
inhabitants."
In the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
God Bless,
Father Mark Tiger,
