Abbey of the Holy Rose: Rogation Tide

Rogation Tide

The ROGATION days were introduced about AD 470 by Bishop Mamertus of Vienna and eventually adopted elsewhere. They are the three days (Rogation Monday, Rogation Tuesday and Rogation Wednesday) immediately before Ascension Day. The word Rogation comes from the Latin verb 'rogare', meaning "to ask", and was applied to this time of the liturgical year because the Gospel reading for the previous Sunday included the passage "Ask and ye shall receive" (Gospel of John 16:24). The Sunday itself was often called Rogation Sunday as a result.

The faithful typically observe the Rogation days by fasting in preparation to celebrate the Ascension, and farmers often have their crops blessed by a priest at this time. Violet vestments are worn at the rogation litany and its associated Mass, regardless of what colour was worn at the ordinary liturgies of the day. A common feature of Rogation days is the ceremony of "beating the bounds", in which a procession of parishioners, led by the minister, churchwarden, and choir proceeds around the boundary of their parish and pray for its protection in the forthcoming year. This was also known as 'Gang-day'.

From the St Magnus Newsletter

There is a Solemn Mass on Ascension Day, Thursday, 13th May 2010, at 12.30pm followed by Beating the Bounds, at St Magnus the Martyr and some light refreshments. (www.stmagnusthemartyr.org.)

God bless you!

ORDER OF THE HOLY ROSE,

A Catholic order in the Angl.-Catholic tradition

in affiliation with Bishop Ralph Napierski in union

with the RCC

Welcome!

The Order of the Holy Rose is a Catholic canonical order in the Anglican-Catholic tradition, which was founded in May 2008 in affiliation with Bishop Ralph Napierski . *

*
Our bishops, clergy, and laity serve God in voluntary celibacy or in holy matrimony, and we all are espoused to Christ's spiritual body, His church, either in blessed voluntary celibacy or in holy matrimony. We do not own any property with our order and do not accumulate money, and share each, what we have been given freely. Members, who have given life-long vows must be prepared to follow Jesus Christ's call to wherever He sends them and they must not own any property to their name nor must they accumulate money.
*

*
Priesthood is only available to men for the simple reason that Christ was a man and He entrusted His chosen male apostles with this most holy sacrament in His memory. Therefore, the blessings can only be done by the priests. We are preparing for the return of Jesus Christ, who is the Father of Our Holy Rose Family and we are wholeheartedly reaching out to our brothers and sisters of the holy eternal family truth of Jesus and Mary Magdala, who were incarnate also as Abraham and Sarah, so that we all can shine together finally as one holy family in unity, peace and harmony and in human dignity and free of slavery for eternity. Whosoever claims to love Jesus is also invited to extend this love to His true own family, and get to know Mary Magdala, His wife, and children, Jacob and Zara-Zarai, who were still-born on the way to the cross. This truth has been withheld by a whole host of Secret Societies, heretical, Arian, Cathar and Satanistic and other secret Pagan groups within the church, who have systyematically undermined the true spiritual church of Christ and it is those, who have abused children and adults in the disguise of clergy in all ranks of the church hierarchy and parishes and monasteries, and put the blame for their own shame on the numerous holy and faithful priests and nuns. Many documents and scrolls have been purposefully withheld that confirm this but holy truth has the habit to reveal itself in all ways and speaks for itself, and one day Christ will in His good time fit all things and put all wrong right simply through His living word.
*

Women have a whole range of roles within Christ's church, and Bishop Ralph is ordaining women as deaconesses as was the custom in the early church, too, as women are invaluable in many ways for the life in a holy community but they are not involved in the inner sanctuary.
*

Mary Magdalene was the eternal wife of Jesus Christ and was chosen by God and Jesus from the beginning of time as the advocate for Christ's own family as the nucleus of creation and not of a twisted version of heresy, which does her greatly injustice as she never ever desired to replace the Holy Mother of God nor did she ever have any other desire than to be Jesus' wife and the loving mother of His children; she certainly had no ambition whatsoever to be a priestess or to serve in the inner sanctuary; however, she was wholeheartedly supporting the spiritual church of Christ and made her property and money available for this purpose, as she did in all incarnations in one way or another . She was obedient to God and to Jesus and she served God together with Christ in utmost humility, always painfully aware of her sins that she would find within herself the deeper she journeyed. On the way to Christ's cross she had to give birth in the street to their still-born twins Jacob and Zara-Zarai, and so she not only mourned her husband's but also her children's loss, all in one on one day, whose very existence has been for a multitude oft the above reasons not yet officially been recognized. The Order of the Holy Rose is dedicated to Jesus Christ and accordingly to His wish, also to His Holy Family: His wife Mary Magdala, and their murdered twin infants Jacob and Zara-Zarai. Jesus Christ's and Mary Magdala's desire was to lead a life in holiness and serve God together in holy matrimony to live and lead by example, and as short as their life together was it was the living eternal holy family's creed, and after the loss of her all she continued to sow from Ephesus Jesus Christ's mustard seed, and His path of peace and unity and human dignity and holy truth and loving-kindness and parental responsibility for the children of God is all that mankind does for eternal life need. Mary Magdala gave up her old life and donated all her money and property to Jesus Christ's ministry but that fact was also twisted to this very day by pseudo-religious orders, who rather lead mankind to war and hoard money and property instead of sharing all their spiritual gifts for free and to teach and preach and to heal freely.

Share freely, what you have been given freely!

God bless you!
