2 COLLAR COMMENTARY- FR. 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”.

The elderly, the sick and all those who for serious reasons cannot leave their homes, for example because of restrictions im- posed by the competent authority in this time of the pandemic, in order to prevent numerous faithful from crowding into the holy places, will be able to obtain the Plenary Indulgence as long as they join spiritually with all the other faithful, complete- ly detached from sin and with the intention of complying as soon as possible with the three usual conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and prayer according to the Holy Father's intentions), before an image of Jesus or the Blessed Virgin Mary, recite pious prayers for the deceased, or occupy themselves in considered reading of one of the Gospel passages proposed by the liturgy of the deceased, or perform a work of mercy by offering to God the sorrows and hardships of their own lives.

Holy Ghost and St. Bridget Parishes thank Father Justin who has, through pastoral charity, offered himself generously during the pandemic to the celebration of the Sacrament of Penance and administration of Holy Communion to the sick. Finally, since the souls in Purgatory are assisted by the prayers of the faithful and especially by the sacrifice of the Altar to God, thank you to Fr. Justin for celebrating Holy Mass three times on the day of All Souls and holding graveside memorials.

Please take time to pray for the parishioners of St. Bridget and Holy Ghost who have died since last November, your deceased loved ones, and all souls in purgatory throughout this month of Holy Souls.
