Gospel Reading
John 17: 6-11
“I have made manifest your name to those human beings who have come out of the world to me through you. Yours they were, and you have given them to me, and they have kept your word in their inmost being. Thus they have recognized that everything which you have given me is from you; for all the power of the word which you have given me, I have brought to them. They have taken it into themselves and have recognized in deepest truth that I come from you, and they have come to believe that I have been sent by you. I pray to you for them as individual human beings, not for mankind in general. Only for the human beings which you have given me, because they belong to you. Everything that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and the light of my being can shine in them. I am now no longer in the world of the senses; but they are still in the world of the senses. And I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep, through the power of your being, those who came to me through you, so that they may become one, as we are one.”
“The Spirit of Sophia-Wisdom will serve the solidarity of human beings with one another and with creation: out of her own inner power she will cross over the boundaries of cultures, of nations, and of races – between poor and rich, man and woman, between all religions.”

THE FESTIVALS OF THE CHRISTIAN YEAR
Our liturgical calendar follows the course of the Incarnation of Christ Jesus into the world of human beings and nature, and the birth of the Spirit within individual human beings and communal life. The festivals are celebrated year after year to allow an ever deeper relationship to the Christ mystery and the renewal of human and social life. We invite you to celebrate with us!
Advent
The four weeks of preparation for the birth of love, light and renewed life in the being of the Christ child
Christmas
The celebration of the birth of the One who comes into the world to save humankind
Epiphany
The Light of Christ enters the earthly world and walks among us as the Star of Grace
Trinity (the in-between time)
We pray to the triune God who gifts us with being, creating power, and spiritual illumination
Passiontide (Lent)
The four weeks of entering into the depths of human suffering as Christ experienced it, and walking with him as he unites himself with us
Easter
The festival of the Resurrection! Over the forty days of Easter, the Risen One teaches the disciples about the Kingdom of God
Ascension
The Risen One ascends, uniting himself with the earth as his new body, promising that he will be with us until the end of days
Pentecost (Whitsun)
The disciples receive Holy Spirit, tongues of flame descend upon them and they come to know Christ within, and go forth bearing this truth to humanity
(Trinity — the in-between time)
St. Johnstide
