Explanation of the Mass Part III

Monthly Explanation of the Mass


The Presence of Christ in the Word
 

• The proclamation of God’s Word at Mass is central to our Eucharistic celebration: “The Church is nourished spiritually at the twofold table of God’s word and of the Eucharist…The celebration of Mass in which the Word is heard and the Eucharist is offered and received forms but one single act of divine worship” (Introduction to the Lectionary, 10).

• When the Scripture readings are proclaimed, it is Jesus Christ himself who speaks to us and invites us into dialogue with Him. The Gospel is the high point of the readings – everyone stands (symbolizing the resurrection) and sings the Alleluia (except during Lent), greeting and welcoming Christ who is present with us. God speaks to the Church, the community at large, and to the individual person. Mass is the privileged place where God speaks to us!

• The Church encourages us to prepare for Mass by praying with the Sunday readings throughout the week, so that God’s Word might grow and live within us more deeply – thus enabling us to know his voice and hear Him more clearly at Mass and in our daily lives.

HE IS RISEN! ALLELUIA ! ALLELUIA!

For Christians, the worldwide crisis because of the Corona virus, pandemic cannot overshadow the Resurrection and eternal HOPE! The great Season of Easter is upon us! Alleluia! We have taken six weeks of Lent to prepare. Now we will take eight weeks to celebrate the reality of Easter that concludes with Pentecost Sunday May23rd. The new life of spring that comes from the earth is a sign of the Easter mystery. Easter is a constant reminder that, like the flower that comes forth from the seed buried in the ground, our Faith and Hope is a promise of RESURRECTION.

WELCOME NEOPHYTES!

We welcomed at the great celebration of the Easter Vigil, April 3, 2021;
Mitchryna Maria Altidor with Full Christian Initiation
and
Jean Michael Altidor who entered into Full Communion
with the Catholic Church.
They have journeyed this past year to this celebration of Christian Initiation.
Let us rejoice with them in giving thanks to the Lord for the gift of faith and their answering the call to discipleship!
