RESPONSORIAL PSALM | Psalm 34: Taste and See Marty Haugen

1. I will bless the Lord at all times; praise of him is always in my mouth. In the Lord my soul shall make its boast; the humble shall hear and be glad.

2. Glorify the Lord with me; together let us praise his name. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; from all my terrors he set me free.

3. Look toward him and be radiant; let your faces not be abashed. This lowly one called; the Lord heard, and rescued him from all his distress.

HOMILY

NICENE CREED

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER  The Lord be with you. All: And with your spirit.  Lift up your hearts. All: We lift them up to the Lord.  Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. All: It is right and just. SANCTUS | Mass of the Angels and Saints Steven Janco

THE LORD'S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

AGNUS DEI | Mass of the Angels and Saints Steven Janco

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

It is a long-held Catholic belief that when circumstances prevent one from receiving Holy Communion, it is possible to make an “Act of Spiritual Communion.” During this time when we are not able to celebrate the Eucharist together in person, Pope Francis invites Catholics to say this prayer as a source of grace. We can be assured that when we express our desire to receive Jesus in the Eucharist, God will be with us spiritually in a special way. Here is an Act of Spiritual Communion that we encourage you to pray as you participate in our live-streamed liturgies:

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

Loving Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

COMMUNION | Take and Eat Michael Joncas

CONCLUDING RITES  The Lord be with you. All: And with your spirit.  May almighty God bless you, the Father, (+) and the Son and the Holy Spirit. All: Amen.  Go forth, the Mass is ended. All: Thanks be to God.

WHY SHOULD THE CHURCH REACH OUT TO L.G.B.T.Q. PEOPLE? SOME SHOCKING STATISTICS CAN ANSWER THAT.

By JAMES MARTIN, S.J.

Why should Catholics reach out to L.G.B.T.Q. Catholics or, more broadly, to L.G.B.T.Q. people? Some statistics from DignityUSA, an advocacy group for Catholic L.G.B.T.Q. people, may put this in further perspective. We should reach out not simply because they are Catholics— meaning L.G.B.T.Q. Catholics, who are part of the Body of DignityUSA informally surveyed people who have left the Christ—but because we are Catholic. Part of being Catholic, church, not just L.G.B.T.Q. people, and asked: “Did teachings part of being Christian, is standing on the side of those who on LGBTQ+ issues have anything to do with your leaving?” are rejected, excluded or marginalized, as Jesus chose to do. As )LIW\ÀYHSHUFHQWVDLG\HV we Jesuits say, it also means “walking with the excluded.” And L.G.B.T.Q. people are among the most excluded in our church. L.G.B.T.Q. people who no longer identify as Catholic were asked, “Was being LGBTQ+ the major reason for leaving the I cannot tell you how many L.G.B.T.Q. Catholics have reported church?” Sixty-four percent said yes. to me the hateful and homophobic comments they have heard from their priests, deacons, brothers, sisters, lay pastoral When L.G.B.T.Q. people were asked, “Have you ever felt associates, bishops, directors of religious education and uncomfortable or directly discriminated against in a Catholic schoolteachers, all supposedly speaking for the church. Almost church or event?” Seventy-two percent said yes. every day I receive messages through social media, from people asking, “Where am I supposed to go now that my pastor treats Those statistics alone should be enough to make us want to me like this?” or, “How can I respond to my daughter’s principal undergo a metanoia, a change of mind and heart, and make us ask who says these things?” or, “How can I stay in the church when why our church is not only not a welcoming place to L.G.B.T.Q. I hear homilies like this?” people, but actively unwelcoming.

The Trevor Project’s 2020 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Here’s something even more positive to consider. L.G.B.T.Q. Mental Health represents the experiences of over 40,000 youth who report having at least one accepting adult were L.G.B.T.Q. youth, from ages 13 to 24, across the United States 40 percent less likely to report a suicide attempt in the past and is the largest survey of L.G.B.T.Q. youth mental health ever year, according to the Trevor Project.

What if this statistic is God telling us to be the adult that an 40 percent of L.G.B.T.Q. respondents answered that they L.G.B.T.Q. youth needs in their life? What if this statistic is had seriously considered attempting suicide in the past 12 asking the church to be that positive force? months. Now let’s look at L.G.B.T.Q. people overall—and here we are 48 percent of L.G.B.T.Q. youth reported engaging in self- talking about adults too. They are nearly four times more likely than harm in the past 12 months. non-L.G.B.T.Q. people “to experience violent victimization, including rape, sexual assault and aggravated or simple assault,” 46 percent of L.G.B.T.Q. youth reported they wanted according to a study by the Williams Institute at U.C.L.A.

These include countries where the L.G.B.T.Q. youth homelessness is rejection from families for dominant religion is Islam, many African and Asian countries religious reasons. and some formerly Communist countries, including Poland with its “L.G.B.T.-free zones.” We must be aware, therefore, of the effects that stigmatizing language, especially stigmatizing language from religion, can In over 70 countries, simply being L.G.B.T.Q. is a criminal bring.

But they should not overwhelm to say negative things about their being L.G.B.T.Q. were “at us or cause us to despair. Because despair is not coming from half the risk for attempting suicide in the past year compared to God. those who had.” 7 SAINT CECILIA PARISH

In that case, how do we respond to what we feel when we hear those terrible statistics? As ever, looking at the example of Jesus—who always took the side of those who were rejected, marginalized, isolated, mocked, beaten or abused—can help us move ahead.

These statistics should make us want to approach our L.G.B.T.Q. brothers, sisters and siblings with the same “closeness, compassion and tenderness,” to use Pope Francis’ words, with which God approaches them.
