Sundays of Sanctification and Dedication
Beginning the Church Year
and
the Advent of Christ:
Following upon our Sundays of the Holy Cross
-- these Seven Sundays a "liturgical icon" which recapitulate
our communion in the Eschaton,
our communion with the Seven Churches of the Book of Revelation --
we renew "the beginning and the end"
in the Church's Liturgical Year of seasons and feasts
-- on the 8th Sunday before the Nativity of the Lord.
Sinai St. Gabriel written by KhouriaHeather
In each of these Sunday Gospels of the New Year,
we encounter the Archangel Gabriel in his mission to prepare us in receiving the Child of Bethlehem, the Lord of Heaven and earth, the Babe who is Pantokrator ~
Archangel Gabriel's mission for the Word Incarnate belongs as well to the initial Kukilions following the Epiclesis in the Anaphora.
The consecration of the "Mariological Assembly"
-- as the Ecclesial Body of Christ --
is carried through all the Kukilions,
but especially recollected as the choirs sing
Peace the bright archangel brought
hailing Mary fair,
favored is thy blessed lot!"
We open the pages of the Gospel Word . . .
St. John of Patmos
written by KhouriaHeather
... and again we sing in communion
with Zechariah and Elizabeth,
with Joachim and Anna,
with Joseph and Mary,
with the Shepherds,
with the Magi,
with the Angels,
we sing in communion:
"Holy Holy Holy!
Glory to God in the Highest!
Christ is born among us!"
Each of the 8 Advent Gospels reveals a particular dimension
of the Spirit's Indwelling, and a typos of Pentecost and of the Kingdom:
