Like us on facebook “St. Clement of Rome Parish” A WALK THROUGH THE MASS: ENTRANCE THROUGH THE GREETING DEACON IAN M. BOZANT In order to foster a greater reverence for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it is important for us to begin by looking at the Mass more deeply. So often, we approach Holy Mass as a routine—something we have done all our lives. It can run the risk of losing a sense of awe and mystery, but if we really sat down to pray and think about the Mass, we might be surprised at how much we do not know and how many things there are for us to meditate upon simply in the prayers, gestures and rites of Holy Mass. It is in this light that we begin our look at the parts of the Mass from beginning to end. Once we have readied ourselves for the Sacred Mysteries through this interior prayer and commitment, the first thing we witness is an entrance procession accompanied by music. Processions accompany all forms of religious worship and can be seen in many examples of the Church’s liturgical life: Holy Mass, Eucharistic Processions, Palm Sunday Processions with Palms, Funeral Processions, etc. In Scripture, we find examples of processions with the Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel 6, 1 Kings 8) and our Savior’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem (Mark 11, Matthew 21, Luke 19, and John 12). In all of these examples, the procession is a sign of triumph and royalty as well as a reminder of our own Christian pilgrimage from this life to our eternal reward. As such, it is fitting that the procession marks the beginning of the celebration of Holy Mass. We witness the triumphal entry of the standard of our salvation—the cross—and are reminded that this life is fleeting and is a preparation of the life to come. Our posture during this procession is standing, which is drawn from Sacred Scripture when the people of Israel “would rise up and worship” each time Moses entered the Tent of Meeting where the Tabernacle was located (cf. Exodus 33:7-11). The entrance chant that accompanies this liturgical procession has as its purpose the fostering of a disposition of movement toward the great Sacrifice that is about to take place. Even here, we see the idea of journeying being very important. Immediately following the procession, the Priest and Deacon kiss the altar. Originally, they would kiss the altar above the relics of the martyrs that were contained within the altar; however, even when relics are not present, the Priest and Deacon kiss the altar as a sign of reverence for the Sacrifice about to take place upon it. The tradition of using relics in the altar stems from the early Christian community who would gather in secret to celebrate the Eucharist in the Roman catacombs upon the tombs of martyrs who had died in the persecutions. If incense is to be used, the Priest then incenses the cross and the altar, accompanied by the Deacon. Incense is used because it is representative of the Christian’s prayer, enkindled in the heart by the fire of God’s love and exhaling the odor of Christ, rising up as a pleasing offering in His sight and demanded by God for due worship in the Old Testament (cf. Exodus 30:4). Following this, we begin with the Sign of the Cross. This is one of the most important symbols used throughout all of Holy Mass and it is fitting because it is this great mystery that we celebrate in the Mass—the Sacrifice of Calvary. The priest then greets the people and they respond with: And with your spirit. This response is an acknowledgment by the congregation of the grace and presence of Christ who is present in the soul of the celebrant in a unique way by virtue of his ordination. The priest alone stands in persona Christi, in the person of Christ. He is Christ Himself at the Holy Mass at the words of consecration so that he can truly say: This is My Body. Our response is a recognition of this supreme grace. Additionally, this phrase comes directly from St. Paul’s Letters. In both Galatians and Philippians, Paul wrote, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.” In the second Letter to Timothy, the apostle concludes with, “The Lord be with your spirit.” The last words of the letter to Philemon are “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.” Again illustrating the supremely biblical nature of the Mass and how we must come to know the Scriptures in order to fully participate and understand the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Finally, we note the first time the priest extends his hands when he greets the faithful, saying, “The Lord be with you.” This posture serves several purposes throughout the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that will be explained in each instance, but the one common meaning that it conveys throughout is this: it is an image of the Crucifixion. The priest extends his hands in a small open posture reflective of the extended arms of Christ on the Cross: the supreme meeting place between God and Man! Again, we note the abundance of images of the Cross that are used at Holy Mass, reflecting the central nature of the Cross to our life, the life of the Church, and Holy Mass itself!

Yet, none of our excesses is missed or forgotten by the Lord. The Gospel follows the theme presented by Amos. In order to remain “stable” in the senses of Society, we are tempted to work both God and Man at the same time. If one fails, we are able to negotiate with the other. We find ourselves doing that at any given time in our lives. Where are we making our choice daily, God or Man? PRAY FOR VOCATIONS The best way of supporting our New Orleans Seminarians is by praying for them. Please pray this week for: Dung Le And there is a time for healing / Y hay un tiempo para sanar Those who are sick asking the Lord that they may regain their strength.

Total Families Assisted (29) $10,284.67 FOOD DISTRIBUTION to 78 families Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekend of September 21/22 2013 In Jesus’ parable of the Unjust Steward, we encounter a financial manager who has wasted his master’s wealth and faces dismissal from his position. To overcome the crisis confronting him, the steward reduces some very considerable debts owed by poor neighbors to his master in order to help them out. Though the steward has sinned against God and his master by squandering what belongs to someone else, both the prudent way in which he goes about resolving the crisis coupled with relieving people who are in need can be seen as a way to better steward the gifts entrusted to us by God. Although good stewards today acknowledge that they may never use their God- given gifts in a way that completely conforms to the demands of the Gospel, a commitment to using their gifts with prudence and for the purpose of helping their neighbors wins God’s favor. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The Lord never forgets the sins of those who take advantage of the poor (Amos 8:4-7). Psalm — Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor (Psalm 113). Second Reading — God our savior wills everyone to be saved (1 Timothy 2:1-8). Gospel — The one who is trustworthy in small matters is also trustworthy in great ones (Luke 16:1-13).

We Are Called to Meet the Needs of Others Our Stewardship of Ministry emphasis begins soon, and you will receive introductory material concerning our effort in the mail. Through your study, you will learn more about this aspect of our Total Stewardship program and have the chance to indicate your level of involvement, prayerfully considering the parish ministries in which you’d most like to participate. In the first century, Jesus sent the disciples to focus on the needs of others. As his followers, the disciples proclaimed the Gospel, healed the sick, cast out evil spirits, and more. In obedience to that call, we too evangelize, we educate, we heal, and we work to separate the sacred from the profane. Please begin to pray about your response. Jesus encountered the poor, the needy and the hurting everywhere he went, and—especially as they found in him the Healer, Restorer, and Redeemer—they found him often. Today, though we live in communities blessed with almost unprecedented plenty, just as the Lord promised, we will always have the poor and the needy with us. To his disciples, the Lord’s call was clear. “Proclaim the truth,” Jesus said. “Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, and drive out demons.” It was a set of specific instructions addressing particular needs. In the days ahead, you will have the opportunity to personalize your commitment too, serving in particular ministries. We are called to meet the needs of others.

Keep track of your commitment, week by week. Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

PRIORIDADES En la primera lectura, el profeta Amós se enfurece contra todos aquellos tan avarientos que cierran sus ojos y su corazón a las necesidades de los pobres entre ellos. Ganarse un dólar es una cosa, dice Amós. Hacerlo a costa de los desamparados es algo completamente distinto. En la segunda lectura, Pablo nos recuerda nuestra responsabilidad y deber de rezar. Hace un llamado a incluir a todos en nuestra oración –una oración que debe distinguir la vida diaria de los cristianos. En el Evangelio, Jesús describe el intenso esfuerzo de un astuto sirviente que ve aproximarse un “recorte” de personal. Jesús lo admira y se pregunta por qué tanta astucia se limita al mundo de los negocios. Jesús no entiende por qué quienes buscan una “posición” en el Reino de Dios no son tan ingeniosos y tan recursivos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
