-- The Pastor’s Corner -My Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
During this past week I had the
powerfully productive experience of
meeting with our CCD teachers in
preparation for the upcoming school
year. It was awesome to hear the fervent
plea from these enthusiastic volunteers
that we, as a parish, must do all we can
to ensure and maintain a Catholic
identity. They acknowledged that every
adult who belongs to our community
must make the effort to be fully active
participants in this parish who
understand the obligation and
responsibility we have to bring up our
children in the practice of our faith.
I was most profoundly moved at the
meeting when it was suggested that we
should somehow include in our parish
schedule time for our younger members
to have a period of Eucharistic
Adoration, geared specifically for our
youth. The Holy Spirit then inspired me
to designate that starting this fall we will
have what I call a “Wing and Prayer
Evening of Eucharistic Adoration”. Each
month, our youth will be invited to
gather here at our Church hall, share
some buffalo wings and other treats, and
then move into the chapel for Eucharistic
Adoration, in other words, “a wing and a
prayer”. More specific details will
appear in the future bulletins.
I am pleased to report to you that my
repeated plea for individuals to serve on
the parish advisory board for both Our
Lady Queen of Peace and St. Gabriel
Mission finally has been heard and
individuals have stepped forward.
Please be aware that I asked for
volunteers and did not appoint members
for the advisory boards because these are
your parishes. Concern and love for
your parish must come from within. That
concern and love must be in the
individuals who belong to these
esteemed communities because I cannot
make you love the gift you have, I can
only set the standard by being the
example of the special union and love
which Christ shows for His Church and
which I show as your pastor. During the
next several days I will be consulting
with the new members of our advisory
boards and their names and the public
meeting dates will be announced in
future bulletins so that we may continue
the good work already begun in our
communities for the edification of our
church and the greater glory of God.
Now I’m sorry but I must take a moment
to, again, “preach to the choir”. Every
good teacher that I have known confirms
that repetition is a great tool for helping
students comprehend new ideas. The
same reality exists in Holy Mother
Church, and that is why during the
penitential act at Mass we each repeat
the admission that we have sinned. Then,
individually we confess that it is:
“through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault”. Other
portions of the Mass are repeated as well
to help ensure the message not only
passes our lips but also enters into our
very being. Realizing this, you should
understand the necessity for me to repeat
the message that conversations before
and after Mass should take place outside
of our Church where the Holy Spirit
dwells and where Christ Himself
remains present in the Holy of Holies,
His Tabernacle, 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, 365 days a year. This weekly
repeated plea, although heard and
understood by 99% of our communities,
still seems to elude a group of
individuals who typically sit in the back
of the church. Beyond quoting the
general instruction of the Roman Missal,
out of respect and consideration for those
who desire to commune with God
Church Etiquette calls for silence as we
recall the prophet’s words: “The Lord is
in His Holy Temple, let all the earth be
silent before Him.”
