Your First Holy Communion Mass Lesson 1 Getting Ready for Mass The word “Mass” means sent. We come to hear God’s word and to be fed by Him so we can then take Him from the church with us and bring Him to others we meet. Jesus then calls to us to return again each Sunday to hear more and to be blessed once again so we can keep going out to bring Him to others. Ways to get ready for Mass: Think about where you are going – To God’s house To meet Jesus…for a while just in His spoken word and then, one day soon, in the Sacrament of the Most Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion) Dress nicely…in something you might wear to a big family party or to go out to dinner at a nice restaurant with mom and dad Fix your hair…brush or comb it to make it look nice Think about – Sitting and standing still Trying to sing Listening to what is read, prayed, said by the priest Folding your hands when kneeling and standing Bowing your head when you hear Jesus’ name mentioned Trying not to talk out loud in church except to respond to the prayers…whisper if you need to say something to mom or dad Lesson 2 Walking inside the church This is a time to be very quiet. You are going into a special, holy and sacred place. This is where Jesus lives. He is in the Tabernacle – the special place behind the altar with a lighted candle next to it. He waits for us to come and spend time with Him. Things to do: Stop talking as you walk in the door Dip your fingers in the holy water font and bless yourself – Reminder that you have now entered God’s house Reminder of your baptism and being made a child of God Go quietly with mom and dad to where they want to sit Before you go into the pew, turn and face the altar and Tabernacle and genuflect – bend your right knee to the floor while looking at the altar and tabernacle, and then stand up again…doing this with respect and reverence for Jesus Remind children of how to bless themselves. Teach children how to genuflect. Say a quiet prayer or just look at the altar/crucifix/Tabernacle for a minute or two before Mass begins; or just listen to the music being played before Mass begins Posture: Kneel up straight with your hands folded or sit quietly. Lesson 3 Mass Begins – the Introductory Rite Review: Walk quietly into the church Dip fingers in the holy water and bless yourself Genuflect before entering the pew Sit quietly before Mass begins Introductory Rite Mass begins with the altar servers, lector, deacon and priest processing (walking) down the center aisle. Music is usually playing and everyone sings. The priest will genuflect or bow in front of the altar and then go around to the other side of the altar and reverence it (usually a bow, and then kisses the altar). Entrance Song: Everyone stands and sings Greeting: Priest reminds us that we are gathered with Jesus and one another to praise God, to learn from His own words, and to be fed by Him according to our needs Priest will often announce if the Mass is being celebrated for a special intention Priest and all begin by making the Sign of the Cross (how we begin everything that we pray) Priest then greets all gathered by praying something like – “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” all respond, “And with your spirit.” Posture: Stand up straight with hands folded, listening to/looking at priest Lesson 4 Introductory Rite, continued – the Penitential Rite Review: Walk quietly into the church Dip fingers in the holy water and bless yourself Genuflect before entering the pew Sit quietly before Mass begins Standing up straight with hands folded Look at the person speaking and listen to what he/she is saying Penitential Rite: This is one way to ask God to forgive us the things we do wrong and thank Him for His mercy before we participate in the rest of the Mass and receive Holy Communion. Priest asks us to remember our sins and ask God’s forgiveness – we do this silently All pray together the Confetior (“I Confess” prayer) or similar prayer – priest starts and we respond Then, all pray the following after the priest says it first – “Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.” All pray together the “Gloria” (“Glory to God in the highest…”) – to praise God for the blessing of His mercy and forgiveness just received: Prayer of joy, confidence and hope Song the angels sang when Jesus was born Followed by the Opening Prayer: Priest says, “Let us pray”…moment of silence…prays aloud People respond “Amen” at the end Posture: Stand with hands folded, looking at/listening to the priest Sit down along with priest after opening prayer Lesson 5 Liturgy of the Word Review: Walk quietly into the church Dip fingers in the holy water and bless yourself Genuflect before entering the pew Sit quietly before Mass begins Standing up straight with hands folded Look at the person speaking and listen to what he/she is saying This is the part of the Mass where the readings are proclaimed (read aloud). These are stories of how God works in the lives of His people – from many thousands of years ago to this very minute today, and well into the future. [The first two readings end with the lector saying “The Word of the Lord” and we respond “Thanks be to God”. ] 1st Reading from the Old Testament – about the people who lived before Jesus was born a Psalm response (usually sung) 2nd Reading from the New Testament letters – about the first Christians who lived after Jesus died and returned to heaven “Alleluia” verse – usually sung with all people standing with hands folded and ready to listen to the Gospel reading to come Gospel: from Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John – the stories of what Jesus Himself said and did when He taught the people for 3 years during His public ministry (the Good News) Priest/deacon: “The Lord be with you” People: “And with your spirit.” Priest/deacon: “A reading from the holy Gospel according to …” People: “Glory to you, Lord”, while making the Sign of the Cross one time each on your forehead, your lips, and your heart (to ask that God’s word be in your mind when you think, on your lips when you speak, and in your heart when you pray and always) Gospel is read while all stand and listen. At the end, the priest/deacon says “The Gospel of the Lord” and we respond “Praise to you Lord, Jesus Christ”. Posture: Sit quietly for the Readings, looking at/listening to the person reading Stand for Gospel with hands folded, looking at/listening to the priest or deacon proclaiming God’s Word Sit quietly after the Gospel is finished Lesson 6 Homily Review: Walk quietly into the church Dip fingers in the holy water and bless yourself Genuflect before entering the pew Sit quietly before Mass begins and where appropriate during Mass Standing up straight with hands folded Look at the person speaking and listen to what he/she is saying Making the Sign of the Cross 3x before the Gospel is read; why done We now sit quietly and listen to the priest or deacon talk to us about what we just heard being read. The reason for this is to help us understand what we heard so we can take what we just learned and use it to help other people know Jesus like we know Him. Posture: Sit quietly and try your best to listen Lesson 7 Creed Review: Walk quietly into the church Dip fingers in the holy water and bless yourself Genuflect before entering the pew Sit quietly before Mass begins and where appropriate during Mass Standing up straight with hands folded Look at the person speaking and listen to what he/she is saying Making the Sign of the Cross 3x before the Gospel is read; why done This is the prayer that says what we believe as the People of God. [There are two Creed prayers – the Nicene Creed prayed at each Mass and the Apostles’ Creed prayed most often with the Rosary.] We say that I believe: In one God – the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (the Blessed Trinity – 3 Persons in 1 God) That Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born (like us) of the Blessed Virgin Mary, suffered and died on the Cross for us, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven That the Church is one (united), holy, catholic (universal – for everyone), and apostolic (comes from the time of the Apostles after Jesus went back to heaven) In the Communion of Saints (in heaven, waiting in Purgatory to go to heaven, and us here on earth), the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body (at the end of time), and life everlasting Posture: Stand with hands folded Bow slightly when we speak of how Jesus was born and became a human person like us Lesson 8 Prayer of the Faithful Review: Walk quietly into the church Dip fingers in the holy water and bless yourself Genuflect before entering the pew Sit quietly before Mass begins and where appropriate during Mass Standing up straight with hands folded Look at the person speaking and listen to what he/she is saying Making the Sign of the Cross 3x before the Gospel is read; why done After praying the Creed together, the priest will ask us to join in praying for the needs of the Church, the world, and each other.

  • Would You Kiss the Leper Clean?
    SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME FEBRUARY 11, 2018 WouldWould YouYou kisskiss thethe LeperLeper Clean?Clean? FROM FATHER PHIL My Dear Parishioners and Visitors, “Will you kiss the leper clean and do such as this unseen, and admit to what I mean in you and you in me?” hese are the words from the third verse of Fr. John Bell’s hymn, The Summons. This verse, in particular, brings me close to tears each time it is sung. What a beautiful depiction of a love that knows no bounds. In Zeffirelli’s film Brother Sun, TSister Moon , during the early stages of St. Francis of Assisi’s total con- version to God, we see Clare sharing bread with the outcast lepers of As- sisi, St. Francis is appalled and turns away. As his transformation under God’s grace takes place, he himself is able to witness in similar and ex- traordinary ways God’s love. Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, culminating at Easter, the greatest, most wondrous and permanent change the world has known. I hope that we, like St. Francis and Clare under the grace of God, as indi- viduals and a community will dare to receive the love that is offered by God and share it unashamedly. Pray about celebrating Reconciliation during Lent. If you do not usually frequent this sacrament, as a family, create time in your home for prayer together, not forgetting that silence shared (small doses at first) has the potential for touching and changing hearts. If you are able to attend mass an extra time, try it.

  • Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), Otherwise Known As the Extraordinary Form, Can Seem Confusing, Uncomfortable, and Even Off-Putting to Some
    For many who have grown up in the years following the liturgical changes that followed the Second Vatican Council, the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), otherwise known as the Extraordinary Form, can seem confusing, uncomfortable, and even off-putting to some. What I hope to do in a series of short columns in the bulletin is to explain the mass, step by step, so that if nothing else, our knowledge of the other half of the Roman Rite of which we are all a part, will increase. Also, it must be stated clearly that I, in no way, place the Extraordinary Form above the Ordinary or vice versa. Both forms of the Roman Rite are valid, beautiful celebrations of the liturgy and as such deserve the support and understanding of all who practice the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Before I begin with the actual parts of the mass, there are a few overarching details to cover. The reason the priest faces the same direction as the people when offering the mass is because he is offering the sacrifice on behalf of the congregation. He, as the shepherd, standing in persona Christi (in the person of Christ) leads the congregation towards God and towards heaven. Also, it’s important to note that a vast majority of what is said by the priest is directed towards God, not towards us. When the priest does address us, he turns around to face us. Another thing to point out is that the responses are always done by the server. If there is no server, the priest will say the responses himself.

  • The Sanctuary and the Altar
    THE SANCTUARY AND THE ALTAR GLOSSARY OF TERMS ALTAR CANOPY Required by liturgical law to cover at least the altar and predella (to denote the dignity of the altar and the priest, which represent) there are several names that refer to distinct types: • Baldacino (baldachinum and in English, baldaquin): a canopy made of textile suspended from the ceiling. The word comes from the Italian word for “Baghdad” where the type of textile (made from silk woof and metallic warp) once came from This term is often mistakenly used in reference to a ciborium or civory. • Ciborium, civory: a canopy borne by columns. • Tester: a canopy suspended from the ceiling, or even attached directly to the ceiling. This is a particular favorite of English- style churches AMBO A pulpit-like lectern, from which the Epistle and Gospel were once read. Some churches had two, located on either side of the sanctuary, while other churches had only one. Often the ambo(s) was located on the rood screen and had to be ascended by a stairway, whence came the name, Gradual (steps) referring to the proper chanted before the Gospel, for it would be chanted while the deacon (often with the subdeacon, thurifer and acolytes) would ascend the steps while it was sung. St. Clement’s Basilica in Rome still has matching ambos. ANTEPENDIUM [altar frontal] A rectangular vestment used to cover the front of the altar. The term comes from the fact that it is often hung in front of the altar either from a suspending rod just under the mensa or from the middle altar cloth.

AN ANCIENT TRIED AND TESTED THREE-STEP PLAN FOR INCREASING THE SPIRITUAL (INWARD) AND NUMERICAL (OUTWARD) GROWTH OF LUTHERAN CONGREGATIONS BY PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL VERBALLY AND NONVERBALLY 24 HOURS A DAY Most evangelism programs do not work, and as a result many Christians feel guilty for not having personally witnessed to more people. This plan is an ancient plan because it was used by Israel of old and by the Christian Church from the day of its inception, and works because it communicates Law and Gospel nonverbally as well as verbally, and does it 24 hours a day year around. Face to face witness is not required, but the Plan enables even small children to do it easily and naturally.

  • Holy (Maundy) Thursday
    This evening we will celebrate Holy Communion. Because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this Holy (Maundy) altar and because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm, we ask that any who have not Thursday received Holy Communion from Pastor McCall and desire to receive 1 April A✠D 2021 the Sacrament to first speak with the pastor. Those not communing with us today are welcome to come to the altar during The Distribution to receive a blessing, crossing the arms over the chest once knelt to indicate such a desire. Passiontide extends through Holy Week and the Triduum (“three holy days”—which includes Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday). At the conclusion of the Maundy Thursday service the altar will be stripped, the sanctuary decorations, such as the candelabra, paraments, etc., will be removed. Even the altar crucifix will be carried out. All that will be left in the sanctuary are the pieces of furniture, laid bare. The intensity builds from now until the Easter Vigil when we finally arrive at the empty tomb but not at an empty altar. The Gloria in Excelsis and chanting of the ordinaries return in tonight’s Divine Service as we take the first step of three in the Triduum to joyfully arrive at the Great Easter Vigil on Saturday night. ✠ The Divine Service ✠ ✠ Hymns ✠ 7:00pm Abiding Savior/ 446 The Prelude 627:1-5 The bell tolls three times to signify the beginning of service in reverence of Mount Olive 627:6-10 the Holy Trinity.

Such is the liturgical role of the Sacristan within the parish. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal describes the Sacristan’s role in Chapter III: Duties and Ministries in the Mass, in a single line 105. A liturgical function is also exercised by: a) The Sacristan, who diligently arranges the liturgical books, the vestments, and other things that are necessary for the celebration of Mass. The Sacristan’s role is, however, further spelled out in a book entitled Caeremoniale Episcoporum or the Ceremonial of Bishops, first published in 1886. The holy preparations in which Sacristans are entrusted are the basic framework for the beautiful and sacred objects that are used and carried out before, during, and after the Mass. It’s a serious job that one must undertake with care and wisdom. In reality, your role as a Sacristan is so much more. You are also accepting responsibility for so many aspects in the preparation for the Liturgy, such as Lectors, altar Servers, greeters/ushers, etc. In a parish of this size, it is important that the Sacristan follows the instructions found in the following pages.

Duca. The protocols for Holy Week as well as the triduum, which are considered the “holiest three days” of the liturgi- cal year, were similar to what had been issued by the Holy See, according to Episcopal Vicar Father Jamin David. On Palm Sunday, March 28, processional palms were blessed at the beginning of the ceremony and distributed in some fashion, but no processions from one place to an- other were allowed. Holy Thursday’s tradition of washing of the feet also disappeared. Also, the Blessed Sacrament procession re- mained in the church. The veneration of the cross Good Friday was held with- out touching or kissing of the cross, although the faithful were able to venerate the cross by bowing. Even the Chrism Mass was celebrated one day before its traditional Wednesday of Holy Week date and, for this year only, was moved from St. Joseph Cathedral in Baton Rouge to St. George Church in Baton Rouge. In-person at- tendance was limited to invitation only because of physical distancing regulations. SEE CHRISM PAGE 16 Bishop Michael G.
