Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy

If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the Church is his Bride, then the prophets can be seen as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our cove- nant relationship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the blessings of faithfulness. Their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham will begin a ten-week Bible study Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy on Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 7:00 pm. Participants will meet every week to view an engaging video presentation fol- lowed by a time of lively group discussion and fellowship. For more information or to register, visit the parish website at olwcatholic.org/bible-studies or contact John McGarry at 713.679.8110 or [email protected].

O Adonai, come and deliver us! The Fourth Sunday of Advent begins the week preceding the birth of the Messiah, and we prepare to welcome the Word made flesh and the Light of world. Today's Mass takes its name from the Introit Rorate, Caeli ("Drop down, ye heavens, from above") and richly draws together the principal themes and voices of the season: desire, personified in the longing cries of Isaiah; preparation, figured in the forerunner John the Baptist bidding us "Prepare the way of the Lord"; and joy, perfectly exemplified in the Blessed Virgin Mary whose soul magnifies the Lord, whose heart opens the Kingdom of God, and whose womb gives birth to the Infant Savior. Helping us to contemplate the immense mystery of the Incarnation, the Marian motifs of the Sacred Liturgy hearken back to the Annunciation and would have us imitate their meanings today in our Eu- charistic communion with Christ. The Offertory and Communion Antiphons echo St. Luke's account of the Annunciation and help us, as the Postcommunion puts it,

to draw near unto this mystery, that we may set forward the work of our salvation.

The Collect for the Fourth Sunday of Advent, deriving from the ancient Gelasian Sacramentary, punc- tuates this mood of setting forward and hastening on our way:

whereas, through our sins and wickedness, we are sorely hindered in running the race that is set before us, thy bountiful grace and mercy may speedily help and deliver us. Welcoming the Messiah who is Adonai (the Hebrew Name for God as the Master of Israel), we wait in trembling awe for the birth as Man from the womb of the Virgin of the selfsame God that appeared to Moses in the burning bush. As the Introit sings, let the earth open, and bring forth a Saviour.

Chrismon Tree

What are chrismons? What is a chrismon tree? The name “chrismon” comes from the Latin “Christi monogramma” meaning “monogram of Christ.” Chrismons are tree ornaments with sym- bols depicting the life and saving acts of Jesus Christ. The evergreen tree on which they are hung symbolizes eternal life, while the ornaments themselves remind us of the true meaning of Christ- mas.

Beginning December 23rd, please be sure to pause by the tree in the narthex to admire the beauty of the chrismons. May you and your family have a blessed Christmas! Mass Intentions Fr. William Saunders

An individual may ask a priest to offer a Mass for several reasons: for example, in thanksgiving to the Lord, for the intentions of another person (such as during a crisis), or, as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died. One must never forget the infinite graces that flow from the Sacrifice of the Mass which benefit ones soul. In his encyclical "Ecclesia de Eucharistia," our beloved late Holy Fa- ther, Pope John Paul II, taught, "In the celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice, the Church prays that God, the Father of mercies, will grant His children the fullness of the Holy Spirit so that they may become one body and one spirit in Christ. In raising this prayer to the Father of lights, from whom comes every good endowment and every perfect gift, the Church believes that she will be heard, for she prays in union with Christ her Head and Spouse, who takes up this plea of His Bride and joins it to His own redemptive sacrifice" (No. 43). Please keep in mind that the tradition of offering Masses for others, particularly the dead, originates in the very early Church. Inscriptions discovered on tombs in Roman catacombs of the second century evi- dence this practice: for example, the epitaph on the tomb of Abercius (d. 180), Bishop of Hieropolis in Phrygia, begs for prayers for the repose of his soul. Tertullian (c. 200) attested to observing the anniversary of a spouse with prayers and sacrifices, i.e. the Mass: "Indeed she prays for his soul, and requests refreshment for him meanwhile, and fellowship with him in the first resurrection; and she offers her sacrifice on the anniversaries of his falling asleep" (On Monogamy, X). Moreover, the Canons of Hippoly- tus (c. 235) explicitly mentions the offering of prayers for the dead during the Mass. St. Cyril of Jerusa- lem (d. 386), in one of his many catechetical discourses, explained how at Mass both the living and dead are remembered, and how the Eucharistic Sacrifice of our Lord is of benefit to sinners, living and dead. St. Ambrose (d. 397) preached, "We have loved them during life; let us not abandon them in death, until we have conducted them by our prayers into the house of the Lord." St. John Chrysostom (d. 407) stat- ed, "Let us help and commemorate them. If Job's sons were purified by their father's sacrifice, why would we doubt that our offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them." St. Augustine (d. 430) recorded the dying wishes of his mother, St. Monica in his Confessions: "One thing only I ask you, that you remember me at the altar of the Lord wherever you may be." Finally, Pope St. Gregory (d. 604) said, "Let us not hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for them." Given this understanding, we can add some specifics. When a priest offers Holy Mass, he has three intentions: First, to offer the Mass reverently and validly in accord with the norms of the Church. Second, to offer the Mass in union with the whole Church and for the good of the whole Church. Third, to offer the Mass for a particular intention, such as the repose of the soul of someone who has died. Therefore, the effects of the Mass bring certain benefits or fruits. The general fruits of the Mass are the effects upon the whole Church to the living faithful as well as the poor souls in purgatory. For this reason, in the Canon of the Mass (the Eucharistic Prayer), a special mention is made for both the living and the dead. The special ministerial fruits of the Mass are applied to the particular intention of the Mass, i.e. "for whom the Mass is offered." The special personal fruits of the Mass benefit the celebrating priest who acts in the person of Christ in offering the Mass and to the people who are in attendance and participate in the offering of the Mass. We find not only the origins of this practice dating to the early Church but we also clearly recognize its importance. When we face the death of someone, even a person who is not Catholic, to have a Mass offered for the repose of his soul and to offer our prayers are more beneficial and comforting than any other sympathy card or bouquet of flowers. To have a Mass offered on the occasion of a birthday, anniversary or special need is appropriate, beneficial and appreciated. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham

Processional Chant: Rorate Caeli Advent Prose

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity forever: Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Sion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation: Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. We have sinned, and are as an unclean thing, and we all do fade as a leaf: and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away; thou hast hid thy face from us: and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know me and believe me: I, even I, am the Lord, and beside me there is no Saviour: and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, my salvation shall not tarry: I have blotted out as a thick cloud thy transgressions: Fear not, for I will save thee: For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Redeemer. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness.

V. In the Name of the + Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. R. Amen.

Collect for Purity, Summary of the Law Missal, page 1 Kyrie (Missa Marialis) Hymn 719

Collect V. Peace be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. Raise up, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy power, and come among us, and with great might succour us: that whereas, through our sins and wickedness, we are sorely hindered in running the race that is set before us, thy bountiful grace and mercy may speedily help and deliver us; who livest and reignest with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen. The Lesson: Isaiah 7:10-14 In those days: The Lord spoke to Ahaz, “Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test.” And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

The Psalm: Psalm 24 [Domini est terra] Chant, Sir Joseph Barnby (1836-1896)

The Epistle: Romans 1:1-7 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, the Gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and designated Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including yourselves who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. To all God's beloved in Rome, who are called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel: St. Matthew 1:18-24 V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew. R. Glory be to thee, O Lord. The birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, re- solved to send her away quietly. But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel” (which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him. V. The Gospel of the Lord. R. Praise be to thee, O Christ. The Homily Congregation stands as minister genuflect.

Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity forever: Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Sion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation: the house of your sanctification and your glory, where thee our fathers praisèd. Drop down . . .

Behold, O Lord, the affliction of thy people, and send forth Him who is to come; send forth the Lamb, the ruler of the earth, from Petra of the desert to the mount of the daughter of Sion: that He may take away the yoke of our captivity. Drop down . . .

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, my salvation shall not tarry: Why wilt thou waste away in sadness? Why hath sorrow seized thee? Fear not, for I will save thee: for I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Redeemer. Drop down . . .
