FEAST OF THE HOLY MACCABEES, AUG. 1 The Maccabees were Jews who rebelled against the Hellenic Seleucid dynasty in the time of Antiochus V Eupator. They founded the Hasmonean dynasty and fought for Jewish independence in Israel from 165-63 B.C. But first, in 167 B.C., Mattathias, a priest of the sons of Joarib, revolted against the Greek occupiers by refusing to worship the Greek gods. The emperor at the time killed and sold thousands of Jews into slavery. Antiochus IV set up a temple to Zeus in the Holy of Holies, defiling that site. He required under penalty of death that Jews sacrifice to the gods and abandon kosher laws. Mattathias killed a Hellenizing Jew who was willing to offer a sacrifice to the Greek gods. Mattathias and his five sons then fled to the wilderness of Judea. Later Mattathias' son Judas Maccabaeus led an army against the Seleucids and won. He entered Jerusalem, cleansed the Temple, and reestablished Jewish worship; Ha-nukkah commemorates this victory. Judas, with 800 men, risked battle at Laisa with an overwhelming army of Syrians under Bacchides, and was slain. He was succeeded in command by his youngest brother, Jonathan in 161 B.C. Jonathan defeated Bacchides, revenged the death of his brother, and made peace with Alexander who had usurped the throne of Demetrius, the successor to Antiochus. A period of peace followed in which Jonathan ruled as high priest in Jerusalem, but Tryphon treacherously captured him at Ptolemais and later put him to death. The captaincy of the armies of Israel then fell to Simon, the sec-ond son of Mattathias. Under him the land of Juda flourished exceedingly. He obtained the complete independence of the country and a grateful people bestowed upon him the hereditary kingship of the nation. His rule marked five years of uninterrupted peace. He was treacherously slain by his son-in-law, Ptolemy, about the year 135 B.C. After Simon the race of the Maccabees quickly degenerated. By 63 B.C. and because of Roman interference combined with the advent of Herod, the scepter passed forever from the land of Juda. The tongues of the Maccabees are venerated in the Dominican Church of St Andrew (Sankt Andreas Kirche) in Co-logne (Köln) in Germany, having been transported there from Rome in 1164. The story of the Maccabees is written in the two books of the Old Testament which bear that name. And it is in II Maccabees 12:43-46 that the staunchest defense of the doctrine of purgatory is found. Therein we learn that prayers were offered for the dead and even a collection was taken up to pay for a temple service: “And making a gathering, he [Judas] sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection. (For if he had not hoped that they were slain should rise again it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead.)” “It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.”

SUMMER TIME & ALWAYS The pleasantly warm weather has returned (for which we are grateful). It might seem more difficult to dress appropriately for church, but it is always expedient.. Please read and consider the following carefully: Different kinds and qualities of clothing are worn by different kinds of people and for various activities or occasions. The priest wears his clerics, no one else does. Yard work does not call for suit and tie. Clothing covers the body because as God’s temple it is sacred, and it is part of the mystery of life, which is sa-cred. Modest dress expresses the respect we have for ourselves, and the respect we expect from others. Modest dress also takes into account wounded human nature . Improper dress can tempt others to sin. We dress with extra care when attending church. The Sunday best expresses how clearly special the Sacred Mysteries are. We show particular respect for the sacredness of the place and for our neighbor who comes to be spiritually strengthened and renewed (and not tempted to sin or aggravated or distracted). During Holy Mass our oratory chapel becomes Calvary. Here Heaven and earth meet up and embrace each other. The most sacred mysteries of the Incarnation and Redemption are being renewed and its infinite fruits are applied to each one of us. How truly blessed we are! Here the God-Man Jesus Christ is truly present. This sacred building is HIS HOUSE. He is the Divine Host and WE ARE HIS truly blessed GUESTS. When He pours forth not only His sacred doctrine and prayers, but His Most Precious Blood, legions of angels adore Him prostrate in awe and reverence. And so do we!
