A SIGNIFICANT DAY
“And suddenly there came from the sky a noise like a strong
driving wind, and it filled the entire house in which they were”
(Acts 2:2). The Holy Spirit’s arrival on that first Pentecost
was signaled by a rush of wind. We all know what it’s like
when our windows are open just as a summer storm rises up.
Curtains fly, papers become airborne, house plants shudder,
dust is scattered. A rush of wind disrupts the orderliness of
our home. The coming of the Holy Spirit, as celebrated each
year at Pentecost, can also disrupt ways that have become
comfortable and orderly. The Church always needs Pentecost.
We need the breath of God’s Spirit to blow away any
complacency or malaise that has settled into our faith. Jesus
breathes on his disciples and they receive the Holy Spirit.
With that reception comes the power to share the Good
News of salvation. Today, this is no less true for us.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Marriage is ideally a parish event today, but in the first three
centuries of the church’s history, it was a household
celebration guided by civil law and pagan customs. Changes
happened quickly after the Peace of Constantine in 312, and
the fresh air after long persecution brought some creativity.
The speech that the father of the groom’s family gave before
dinner or the veiling or crowning of the bride (or even the
spouse’s arrival at the honeymoon suite) attracted a prayer of
blessing. With amazing rapidity, worship was propelled out of
the intimate setting of house churches to large public
gathering spaces, and some parts of the marriage ceremony
began to migrate with the growing community to the new
spaces. In Rome, the veiling of the bride with the customary
daily headgear of a married woman became the central
liturgical act, accompanied by a biblical prayer for her integrity
and fruitfulness. There were no vows as such (just as there are
no vows to this day in the Orthodox marriage rite). In the
liturgy, after hearing John’s Gospel account of the wedding at
Cana, the bride was veiled and blessed, and the priest gave the
kiss of peace to the husband, who then gave it to his bride.
The liturgy of Rome traveled far, and everywhere it went,
marriage became a church celebration.
