Ask Father…By Father Matthew Bartulica The past weeks, there were two questions in the “Ask Father” box. I am happy to respond to them. The first question is “Why is it important to genuflect?” The simple answer is: Because GOD is present in the tabernacle. In the Book of Daniel of the Old Testament, we read of the young Jewish men, Daniel, Anania, Misael and Azaria. They were in the king’s service. King Nabuchodonossor had a golden statue made and ordered that whenever people hard the sound of the trumpet, flute, lyre, harp, psaltery, bagpipe and other musical instruments, the people were to “fall down and worship the golden statue” (Dan. 3:5). The young Jewish men refused to do so; they refused to fall down as a sign that they worshiped the golden statue. They served faithfully the one true God and would not bend the knee to any other god. We, too, bend our knee for God, as a sign that we recognize Him to be God. Worship is not only interior, but it must also express itself in our body. In a question to which I responded some months ago about the role of the laity at Mass, I referred to an article by Father Cassian Folsom, O.S.B. In that same article, Father Cassian talks about genuflection. Here is what he writes: Genuflecting Before the Blessed Sacrament and Bowing Before the Altar What’s the next thing you do as you enter the Church? You walk to your pew, and if the Blessed Sacrament is reserved on the altar, you genuflect; if it’s reserved somewhere else, you make a profound bow to the altar. I’ll say something about kneeling later. Here we are talking about a gesture of greeting, a kind of salute. I mentioned both genuflecting and bowing. What’s the difference? There’s a traditional distinction that’s very useful: a distinction using three Greek words: latria, hyperdulia, dulia. These three categories indicate different grades of reverence due to God and the saints. Latria means adoration: it is reserved to God alone. Dulia means reverence; it is given to the saints and to sacred objects. Hyperdulia means “extra special reverence”. There is only one person in this category: Mary the Mother of God, since she is above all the saints by the glorious design of Divine Providence. Latria, hyperdulia, dulia. When we reverence the altar — and the altar always represents Christ — we are showing honor to a sacred object.

  • Scout Uniform, Scout Sign, Salute and Handshake
    In this Topic: Participation Promise and Law Scout Uniform, Scout Salute and Scout Handshake Scouts and Flags Scouting History Discussion with the Scout Leader Introducing Tenderfoot Level The Journey Life in the Troop is a journey. As in any journey one embarks on, there needs to be proper preparation for the adventure ahead. This is important so as to steer clear of obstacles and perils, which, with good foresight, can often be avoided. As Scouts we follow our simple motto: Be Prepared! With this in mind you can start your preparations for the journey ahead… The Tenderfoot This level offers a starting point for a new member in the troop. For those Cubs whose time has come to move up from the pack, the Tenderfoot level is a stepping stone linking the pack with the troop. For those scouts who have joined from outside the group, this will be the beginning of their scouting life. How do I achieve this level? The five sections in this level can be done in any order. If you are a Cub Scout moving up from the pack, you will have already started the Cub Scout link badge. The Tenderfoot level is started at the same time. As you can see some of the requirements are the same for both awards. If you have just joined the scouting movement as part of the troop, this level will provide you with all the basic information to help you learn what scouting is all about. Look at the sheet on the next page so that you are able to keep track of your progress.

  • Boy Scout Joining Requirements
    Other Joining Requirements from page 4 of the Boy Scout Handbook Demonstrate the Scout Sign, Salute, and Handshake Scout Sign The Scout sign shows you are a Scout. Give it each time you recite the Scout Oath and Law. When a Scout or Scouter raises the Scout sign, all Scouts should make the sign, too, and come to silent attention. To give the Scout sign, cover the nail of the little finger of your right hand with your right thumb, then raise your right arm bent in a 90-degree angle, and hold the three middle fingers of your hand upward. Those fingers stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. Your thumb and little finger touch to represent the bond that unites Scouts through out the world. Scout Salute The Scout salute shows respect. Use it to salute the flag of the United States of America. You may also salute a Scout leader or another Scout. Give the Scout salute by forming the Scout sign with your right hand and then bringing that hand upward until your forefinger touches the brim of your hat or the arch of your right eyebrow. The palm of your hand should not show. Scout Handshake The Scout handshake is made with the hand nearest the heart and is offered as a token of friendship. Extend your left hand to another Scout and firmly grasp his left hand. The fingers do not interlock. Describe the Scout Badge The badge is shaped like the north point on an old compass. The design resembles an arrowhead or a trefoil – a flower with three leaves.

  • Pastor's Meanderings 13 – 14 July 2019
    PASTOR’S MEANDERINGS 13 – 14 JULY 2019 FIFTEENTH SUNDAY ORDINARY TIME (C) SUNDAY REFLECTION The word ‘communion’ aptly resumes the meaning of today’s celebration. By loving, caring for others we commune, we are united with God. In Jesus, who is one with God, the whole of creation communes with God. The Church as Jesus’s body communes with Him. Our communion with Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist is, therefore, the supreme expression and realization of God’s plan for the universe. At this moment let us meditate on this fact and resolve to lead our daily lives accordingly, trying always to behave in a Spirit of communion with others, to made real the unity of all things in Jesus. A woman in a red car one day drove up to a toll-booth and handed the attendant six tickets with the remark that she would like to pay for the next six cars. As each car stopped, the driver was told that a lady in a red car had paid their toll. She was inspired by a sentence written by Anne Herbert ‘Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.’ Anne believed that random kindness is capable of generating a tidal wave just as random violence is. Could I try to do something like this and break through the safe routine of my life? STEWARDSHIP: The good Samaritan was also a good steward, giving his time and his treasure to meet his neighbor’s need. At the end of this familiar story, Jesus urges His hearers – and us – to go and do the same! Nachman of Bratslav “If we do not help a man in trouble it is as if we caused the trouble.” READINGS FOR SIXTEENTH SUNDAY 21 JUL ‘19 Gn.

  • Tibetan Salutations and a Few Thoughts Suggested by Them
    110 TIBETAN SALUTATIONS. TIBETAN SALUTATIONS AND A FEW THOUGHTS SUGGESTED BY THEM. (Read on 28th January 1914.) Presidenl-Lt.-Col. K. R. KIRTlKAR, LM.S. (Retd.). Salutations are of two kind8. 1. Oral or by spoken words, and 2. Gestural, or by certain movements of some parts of the body. Out of these two heads, the Tibeta:n salutations, of which I propose to speak a little to-day, fall under the second head, viz., Gestural salutations. Colonel Waddell thus speaks of the Tibetan mode of saluta­ tion. "The different modes of salutation Different travel· lers on the modes were curiously varied amongst the several of salutation. Col. nationalities. ,The Tibetan doffs his cap WaddeU. with his right hand and making a bow pushes forward his left ear and puts out his tongue, which seems to me to be an excellent example of the' self surrender of the person saluting to the individual he salutes,' which Herbert Spencer has shown to lie at the bottom of many of our modern practices of salutations. The pushing forward of the left ear evidently recalls the old Chinese practice of cutting off the left ears of prisoners of war, and presenting them to the victorious chief." 1 Mons. L. De Milloue thus refers to the Tibetan mode of salutation: (I translate from his French.) M. L. De Milloue. "Politeness is one of the virtues of the Tibetan. He salutes by taking off his cap as in Europe and remains bareheaded before every person whom he respects; but by a strange usage, when he wishes to be particularly amiable and polite, he completes his salutation by two gestures which appear at least strange to us: he draws the tongue rounding it a little and scratches his ears.

  • Ordinary Time
    ORDINARY TIME January 18, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Between the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord and Ash Wednesday, we celebrate Ordinary Time. Ordinary does not mean plain. Ordinary Time is called ordinary because the weeks are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo from which we get the English word order. Thus Ordinary Time is in fact the ordered life of the Church, the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in Christmas or Easter Season) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchful expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. Over the next few weeks, we will be experiencing the beginning of Jesus’ ministry from his baptism, to calling his disciples, and early healing miracles; The liturgical color of Ordinary Time is green, the color of growth and hope; The banners symbolize multi-colored stain glass windows using liturgical colors throughout the seasons. Beginning next week, we will describe the interior design of our church, such as the symbols used on the altar. May 31, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? Ordinary Time We now return to counting or numbering the weeks, not days, of the liturgical year. Ordinary Time, which will take us through the summer and fall, comprises the thirty or so weeks that are not marked by major feasts. As we have stated before, the naming of this liturgical time is from the Latin word “ordo” which refers to a counting or numbering and an order.

  • Essential Things to Know About Gestures and Body Language
    c01.qxp 7/16/07 9:21 AM Page 7 1 Essential Things to Know about Gestures and Body Language Sixty percent of our daily communication is nonverbal. —Edward T. Hall Are simple hand gestures and body movements important? Here are some answers: It’s inaugural day in the United States, 2005. Presi- dent George W. Bush is in the reviewing stand on Washington, D.C.’s Pennsylvania Avenue as the UniversityCOPYRIGHTED of Texas marching band MATERIAL passes by. He raises his hand to salute his alma mater with the time-honored “hook ’em horns” sign—fist raised upright, index finger and pinkie sticking up, the sign of the horns of a Texas longhorn steer, the mascot and symbol of the University of Texas. Bush’s picture appears on TV screens around the globe . and many people in countries around the world are immediately insulted! 7 c01.qxp 7/16/07 9:21 AM Page 8 8 ESSENTIAL DO’S AND TABOOS That very same gesture—fist upraised, index and little fingers extended upward—is considered rude in certain other countries. • In Italy, it means “Your wife is cheating on you!” “You are being cuckolded.” • In some parts of Africa, you are issuing a curse. • In Norway, the Internet newspaper Nettavisen expressed outrage that not only Bush, but his wife and two daughters, would issue such an insult. • Yet the gesture can also have positive meanings. In the Mediterranean Sea, fishing boats may have this symbol painted on their bows to ward off evil, and in Brazil, women often wear gold or silver lockets with this sign as a good luck amulet.
