The Pauline Year
We intend to provide materials on Saint Paul on this page on a weekly basis from Stykkishólmur.
They will be accessible through links on this page which becomes the
"Pauline Year\Index"
For direct link with the Index, skipping the introduction,
We hope to provide the text of the Sermons which we expect to hear from the Holy Father at the Masses of the Vigil and the Solemnity at the head of this material. The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople was present at this Mass as a sign of unity; his sermon will also be included.
We shall provide a link with the key Sunday sermon at Stykkishólmur, which appears on other pages of this web-site in Icelandic, English, French and Polish. This sermon proposes a relationship between Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
After that we shall give an appreciation of the Saint Luke's "Acts of the Apostles", with a particular attention to the many parts which concern Saint Paul. We shall follow the course of the work.
After that we hope to cover the whole corpus of Paul's writings, in the chronological order established by the Jerusalem Bible.
All of the material will be archived by its date and as it appears, and will be linked to an Index at the head. The sermon archives in this web-site are added at the top. But it seems more appropriate to add these new materials from the bottom; they will be made accessible from the Index at the head of the page.
To provide the material in other languages, we would need some help with the translation. If you think that you can help, please communicate by Email with the Editor: booth.edward@gmail.com
