Our Diocesan Bishop's Visitation to
All Saints' Sunday January 23, 2022

Within the framework of the Diocesan Year of Evangelization, and as preparation for the Good News Festival, which will be led by Presiding Bishop Michael Curry in San Diego on December 9-10, 2022, Bishop Susan Brown Snook has made it a point to make each of her visitations to the parishes in the diocese this year an opportunity for spiritual revival in the spirit of evangelization.

To this effect, apart from being the presiding celebrant and preacher, the Bishop will lead a liturgy with some additional revival elements. A faith testimony will be presented by one of our parishioners after the Gospel reading. Also, the Bishop will conduct a special liturgy during the Prayers of the People, which will include a contemplative time with different prayer stations with specific purposes. In the case of our parish, we will be praying for personal and communal revival in the spirit of evangelization, as well as for specific locations in our neighborhood where God’s kingdom needs to come in order to transform them into places where God’s plan will be more evidently manifested.

A station for prayers for healing will also be set up during and after communion, and special musical pieces will be offered at this time.

Our Bishop will also lead us in the renewal of our Baptismal Covenant, and will be commissioning some parishioners in the ministry of evangelization related to the starting of a new congregation for Spanish-speaking people in our parish.

After the mass, Bishop Susan will conduct a forum in the Parish Hall where the theme of evangelization and the Good News Festival will be highlighted. We will all share box lunches with our Bishop in the Parish Hall.

We encourage our parishioners to invite relatives, friends, and neighbors to this revival event with our Bishop. Who knows if it may be the opportunity for someone’s heart to be touched by the Holy Spirit?

All those who would like to volunteer to support the preparation of the event are welcome to do so. We need people as greeters, sides persons, helpers to set up and clean up the areas, etc. Please contact the rector, a Vestry member, or any staff person to volunteer.

Father Carlos E. Expósito, Rector.

Lenten Study
The All Saints’ Vestry is encouraging parishioners to focus on the traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving during the forty days of Lent. Several Vestry members have completed the four-week Zoom class on these Lenten disciplines offered by Father Mark Michael through The Living Church on Wednesday afternoons. Both private and public prayer (perhaps through attending Tuesday Mass or Friday Stations of the Cross) are appropriate Lenten activities. Fasting is a traditional practice at All Saints’ and may include giving up a luxury that we enjoy during Lent (such as wine, chocolates, lunch on Wednesday, or meat on Friday) and setting aside the money saved for charitable purposes. Almsgiving may involve applying the money saved from the Lenten fast to an Easter offering or to contributions to charitable causes related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Service of Tenebrae Wednesday, April 5 at 7:00pm
One of the liturgies that has for centuries been part of the Catholic tradition of the church, but has somehow been neglected by some churches is the Service of Tenebrae, which is at present observed on Holy Wednesday by the Episcopal Church.

Although Tenebrae has not been observed at All Saints’ San Diego for quite a number of years now, it would be a worthwhile addition to the liturgical richness and tradition of our local church, and we will be observing it this year.

Tenebrae is an office structured around psalms, readings, and responsories. Its distinctive ceremony includes the use of fifteen lighted candles (or seven in the shorter form we will be using), set on a special stand. One candle is extinguished as each of the appointed psalms is completed. The remaining candle, symbolic of Christ, is left lighted at the end of the final psalm. But it is carried away to be hidden, which signifies the apparent victory of the forces of evil.

A sudden loud noise in made at the end of the service, symbolizing the earthquake at Christ’s death. The lighted candle is then restored to its place, suggesting Christ’s eventual triumph.

Let us take part in this impactful and spiritually rich service on Holy Wednesday this year!

Pentecost
On Sunday (June 5th) the Church Universal celebrated the Feast of Pentecost, the occasion when Jesus’ first followers, gathered in Jerusalem for the Jewish Feast of the Weeks, also known as Shavuot—or Pentecost, in Greek—were powerfully filled with the Holy Spirit and proclaimed the Good News of Salvation in Jesus to the multilingual and multicultural crowd gathered in Jerusalem for the feast, and each of them heard the powerful message spoken in their own language.
