JUSTIN Understanding the Mass 55 We are finishing our brief detour to consider the Our Father. We have considered how the 7 petitions of the Our Father relate to the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit and 7 of the Beatitudes. St. Augustine in a letter to Proba, one of the earlier Christian women poets whose work survives, teaches about the Our Father. His words offer a good summary for us and easy source for me to turn to in a hurry! He says, “We need to use words so that we may remind ourselves to consider carefully what we are asking. Whatever be the other words we may prefer to say (words which the one praying chooses so that his disposition may become clearer to himself or which he simply adopts so that his disposition may intensified), we say nothing that is not contained in the Lord’s Prayer, provided of course we are praying in a correct and proper way. But if anyone says something which is incompatible with this prayer of the Gospel, he praying in the flesh, even if he is not praying sinfully. And yet I do not know how this could be termed anything but sinful, since those who are born again through the Spirit ought to pray only in the Spirit”. The Prayer of the Gospel, the Prayer of the Spirit, the Lord’s Prayer are all mentioned. In shouldn’t surprise us to see each of these three articulations: the Beatitudes, the Gifts, and the Our Father say harmonious, complementary, similar things. No- tice, too, St. Augustine’s insistence on praying the right way, the way that Jesus has taught us, the way that Jesus prays. He does live out the Beatitudes; He is anointed by the Holy Spirit; He teaches the Our Father in answer to the Apostles’ prayer: Lord, teach us to pray. To pray well requires an attitude that I am plugging into something bigger than myself, something, or more properly Some- one, who may challenge my understanding of the way things are and ask that in order to go deeper, I submit to the way He understands them to be, the way that He reveals in His preaching, His life, and through His Church. Submission and obedience are not popular words, but they adequately express the union of wills that happens through prayer for us to grow in Holiness. They express the union of wills that happens in a deepening of love for God and for neighbor. St. Francis de Sales ties all of the Gifts ultimately back to love. The Spirit is the Spirit of love, the personal Love between the Father and the Son. The Son says, “As the Father loves me, so I have loved you”. Here is the conclusion concerning this part of the Mass from Christopher Carstens and Douglas Martin in Mystical Body, Mystical Voice: Encoun- The Eucharist Masses have been reopened to tering Christ in the Words of the Mass, “On the whole, the words of this the public.
