“My Cup Runneth Over”

‘REALLY.’

What size cup and what does it overflow with??

I can only speak for myself, but mine is Love and Thankfulness, which adds joy and sun-shine everyday of my life, for the things God had given me in the past, present and future. Sometimes there are two sets of footprints in the sand, but 98% of the time there is only one.

Two nights a month I volunteer at the Lord’s Diner, these people who come from the streets, alleys and various places, they are always clean, smiling face (most) and they never, never ever forget to say “Thank You”, when you serve them and then again when they leave. When families come in, the little one’s with clean shining faces and big smiles and good manners. They make the most of what they have and feel loved and are Thankful.

June 15 — Evelyn Underhill, 1941

The only child of a prominent barrister and his wife, Evelyn Underhill was born in Wolverhampton, Eng-land, and grew up in London. She was educated there and in a girls’ school in Folkestone, where she was confirmed in the Church of England. She had little other formal religious training, but her spiritual curiosity was naturally lively, and she read widely, developing quite early a deep appreciation for mysticism. At sixteen, she began a life-long devotion to writing.

Evelyn had few childhood companions, but one of them, Hubert Stuart Moore, she eventually married. Other friends, made later, included such famous persons as Laurence Housman, Maurice Hewlett, and Sarah Bern-hardt. Closest of all were Ethel Ross Barker, a devout Roman Catholic, and Baron Friedrich von Hügel, with whom she formed a strong spiritual bond. He became her director in matters mystical.

In the 1890’s, Evelyn began annual visits to the Continent, and especially to Italy. There she became influ-enced by the paintings of the Italian masters and by the Roman Catholic Church. She spent nearly fifteen years wrestling painfully with the idea of converting to Roman Catholicism, but decided in the end that it was not for her.

In 1921, Evelyn Underhill became reconciled to her Anglican roots, while remaining what she called a “Catholic Christian.” She continued with her life of reading, writing, meditation, and prayer. She had already published her first great spiritual work, Mysticism. This was followed by many other books, culminating in her most widely read and studied book, Worship (1937).

Evelyn Underhill’s most valuable contribution to spiritual literature must surely be her conviction that the mystical life is not only open to a saintly few, but to anyone who cares to nurture it and weave it into every-day experience, and also (at the time, a startling idea) that modern psychological theories and discoveries, far from hindering or negating spirituality, can actually enhance and transform it.

Evelyn Underhill’s writings proved appealing to many, resulting in a large international circle of friends and disciples, making her much in demand as a lecturer and retreat director. She died, at age 65, in 1941.

Have You Ever Wondered…

Holy Oil — Olive oil that has been blessed is used sacramentally in the liturgical and pastoral

ministries of the church. Holy oil is usually applied by the minister of the sacrament or sacramen-

tal rite to the forehead of the one who is anointed. The minister often applies the oil with the

thumb, making the sign of the cross with the oil. Historically, three types of oil have been identi-

fied for use in liturgical anointing. Chrism, a mixture of olive oil and fragrant balsam, is used for

the anointing after baptism. It has been abbreviated "SC," sanctum chrisma. Chrism may also be

used at Confirmation. It has also been used to anoint newly consecrated bishops. The oil of catechumens was pure olive oil.

It was used for the exorcistic anointing prior to baptism. It has also been used at the ordination of priests and the anointing

of kings. It was abbreviated "OC," oleum catechumenorum. The oil of the sick was also pure olive oil. It was used for

anointing the sick. It was abbreviated "OI," oleum infirmorum.

In the OT, oil was used for anointing kings and priests (see 1 Sm 10:1 and 16:1, 13; Ex 29:7). The use of oil in Christian bap-

tism dates from at least the second century. The title "Christ" means the "anointed one." Oil is used as a symbol of baptism

in the NT (see Lk 4:18, Acts 4:27, 1 Jn 2:20, 27). The NT also records the practice of anointing with oil for healing (see Mk

6:13, Jas 5:14). The Apostolic Tradition of Hippolytus (c. 215) included a form for the blessing of oil for the sick. The Apostol-

ic Tradition also noted that anointing with oil was not required for baptism if oil were unavailable. By the fourth or early

fifth century, it was required that chrism be consecrated by a bishop. The 1979 BCP (p. 307) calls for chrism to be consecrat-

ed by the bishop. This may be done when the bishop is present in the parish for Confirmation (BCP, p. 419). The BOS pro-

vides a form for Consecration of Chrism apart from Baptism. This rite takes place immediately after the postcommunion

prayer and before the bishop's blessing and the dismissal. In many dioceses, the consecration of chrism by the bishop may

be done at a service of reaffirmation of ordination vows during Holy Week. The BCP allows oil for the anointing of the sick to

be blessed by a priest or bishop (p. 455). The Prayer Book does not mention the Oil of Catechumens.

Oil Stock—Small container for oil that has been blessed for use as chrism or for anointing the sick. The oil stock is typically

made of metal, and it may be decorated with a cross.

Winfield church sponsors 100-hole golf fundraiser in August. Grace, Winfield, is hosting a fundraising day of golf on Aug. 5 that asks participants to play as many holes as they can in 12 hours. The event tees off at 7 a.m. at the Winfield Country Club. The event is called Holes fore Hope. Besides giving golfers the chance to show their stamina (not necessarily accuracy) over the day, the goal is to raise funds for a new project the church proposes. Plans are to remodel a building owned by the church into space that can be used by nonprofit groups in the community for meetings, training and classes. Sponsorships are available at a variety of giving levels, or people can pledge an amount per golfer or an amount per hole completed for a giv-en player. Individual donations also are accepted. More information, plus ways to donate, is on the event’s website,http://holes4hope.weebly.com/.

Bishop Search Committee announces dates, times for listening sessions. The Search Commit-tee invites all Episcopalians to participate in one of the upcoming listening sessions to discuss your hopes, dreams and expectations for the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas and our next bishop. Your voice is needed so we may accurately represent who we are—in all our diversity as a diocese—to the Episcopal Church and pro-spective nominees for bishop. Participating in a listening session will help us develop a survey instrument that will be administered to clergy and laity throughout the diocese in the coming weeks and, ultimately, will help us write the narrative for the diocese’s profile. Please come!

From 101 Reasons to be an Episcopalian:

# 78 One of the perks of membership in our parish is the exercise. My heart rate elevates

with all the standing, kneeling, processing, bowing, passing the peace, reciting, crossing

one’s self and singing. Fortunately there is some time for a pulse check during the sermon

and readings.
