From the Pastor Del Párroco St. Mary Parish Marion, Ohio PARISH STAFF FROM THE PASTOR Pastor Fr. Thomas Buffer Dear Friends in Christ, 740-382-2118 During the month of April, Catholic piety traditionally focuses on the Eucharist and the Holy Spirit. The Gospel Parochial Vicar Fr. Ryan Schmit of today’s Mass calls our attention to the Eucharist, as the 740-382-2118 disciples recount how Jesus was made known to them in the breaking of the bread. Then the risen Christ appears and, after eating with Deacon Dwight Larcomb (Ret.) them, opens their minds to understand the scriptures. This is what the Holy Spirit 808-651-2779 does; He opens our minds to understand how the Law and Prophets foretold His Business Manager Mike Nicolosi Incarnation, Passion, Death, and Resurrection. The Holy Spirit is invoked over our 740-382-2118 gifts of bread and wine to make Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. Thus, the Church continues to celebrate the new life of Christ in Word and Sacrament. The Religious Education Glenna Celestino Catechism of the Catholic Church says the following about the connection between 740-382-2262 the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist: Betsy Iacobucci Director of Music In the preface [of the Mass], the Church gives thanks to the Father, through Christ, in 740-387-4971 the Holy Spirit, for all his works: creation, redemption, and sanctification. The whole community thus joins in the unending praise that the Church in heaven, the angels St. Mary School and all the saints, sing to the thrice-holy God. In the epiclesis, the Church asks the Jack Mental, Principal Father to send his Holy Spirit ... on the bread and wine, so that by his power, they 740-382-1607 may become the body and blood of Jesus Christ and so that those who take part in Youth Ministry Mark Starrs the Eucharist may be one body and one spirit... 740-223-8656 In the institution narrative, the power of the words and the action of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, make sacramentally present under the species of bread Latino Ministry Evelyn Lisiecki and wine Christ’s body and blood, his sacrifice offered on the cross once for all (CCC 860-997-0627 1352-1353).

Thomas Buffer [email protected] 740-751-7748 DEL PÁRROCO: Parish Secretary Dolores Zentkovich 740-382-2118 Durante el mes de abril, la piedad católica tradicionalmente se centra en la Eucaristía y el Espíritu Santo. El Evangelio de la Misa de hoy llama la atención a la Eucaristía, Financial Secretary Vicki Moser como los discípulos relatan cómo Jesús se dio a conocer a ellos en el partimiento 740-382-2118 del pan. A continuación, Cristo resucitado aparece y, después de comer con ellos, abre sus mentes para comprender las escrituras. Esto es lo que hace el Espíritu Pastoral Council President Santo; abre nuestras mentes para entender cómo la ley y los profetas predijeron Greg Layne su encarnación, pasión, muerte y resurrección. Se invoca el Espíritu Santo sobre nuestros dones de pan y el vino a hacer Cristo presente en la Sagrada Eucaristía. St. Vincent de Paul Así la iglesia continúa celebrar la nueva vida de Cristo en palabra y Sacramento. 740-386-6422 El Catecismo de la iglesia católica dice lo siguiente acerca de la conexión entre el Espíritu Santo y la Eucaristía: PARISH OFFICE En el prefacio, la Iglesia da gracias al Padre, por Cristo, en el Espíritu Santo, por todas sus obras, por la creación, la redención y la santificación.

  • Did You Know? Facts About Our Faith & Our Church a Series By: Kevin Mathieu - Director of Liturgical Music & Parish Communications January, 2021 Issue Number: 2
    Did you know? Facts about our Faith & our Church a series by: Kevin Mathieu - Director of Liturgical Music & Parish Communications January, 2021 Issue Number: 2 Sacred Vessels & Altar Appointments What are all those things called? - The Catholic Church has a long tradition of beautiful well appointed items used in the Sacred Liturgy, each having a special name and function. In this issue I will just scratch the surface to identify and explain most of the common items we see each week, and a few of the “special occasion” items that only appear a few times, or even only once a year. Please bear with me as I try not to get to “in depth” with the following descriptions. We can begin with one of the most recognized liturgical items, the Chalice. From the Roman word calix, a chalice is a tall, footed goblet for holding drink. In the Catholic Church, the chalice holds the blessed, then consecrated wine, the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Usually made of precious metals and sometimes richly ornamented, they show just how special what they contain is. The Catholic Church sets forth guidelines on construction and materials for chalices, one of those being, the cup that will contain the Precious Blood must be lined with precious metal (usually gold) if it is not constructed of it. While we all get to see the beautiful silver of Father Lizewski’s chalice, not many see the gold interior. Blessed by a Bishop (usually at a priests ordination) the chalice is truly the most important of the sacred vessels used at MASS every day.

The logic of this thesis is twofold, based firstly on the cultural centrality of the theology and practice of the eucharist in early modern England, and secondly on the particular engagement of poets within that social and intellectual context. My study applies this conceptual relationship, what I call “eucharistic poetics,” to English religious and

  • Makers of Sacramental Wine, Altar Bread Suffer Economic Hit Due to Pandemic
    Makers of sacramental wine, altar bread suffer economic hit due to pandemic WASHINGTON (CNS) — With the global pandemic practically shutting everything down for months, the sacramental wine and altar bread business has suffered like other businesses in the country, with COVID-19 preventing most indoor public celebrations of the Mass. Catholics are for the most part unable to attend Mass in person and receive the Communion host and consecrated wine. And in cases where Mass can be attended by a small congregation that must adhere to health and safety protocols, like social distancing, mask wearing and hand sanitizing, Catholics still might not want to receive Communion. “Nothing has kept this winery from fulfilling its mission the last century and a half, until now,” said Will Ouweleen, who is the vintner at the O-Neh-Da and Eagle Crest vineyards in Conesus, New York, in the state’s Finger Lakes region. Hemlock Lake is home to the vineyards, which also produce table wines. “Things are not well. Easter this year was effectively canceled. You were encouraged to stay home and have a spiritual Communion,” he told Catholic News Service. “What that means for O-Neh-Da Vineyard and other vineyards is there is no demand for sacramental wine. We have made very few sales since mid-February.” Ouweleen said that he, his wife, Lisa, and a neighbor were doing “the work of 1,000 monks.” Although business has taken a hit, he explained, the vineyard has not laid off a single employee and it continued to pay part-time employees even though they haven’t been required to go to work.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By John H. Osman Washington, D.C. 2015 A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore John H. Osman, Ph.D. Director: Joseph M. White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.

The Redemptive Act of Reading: Richard Crashaw & the Teresean Liturgy Alexandra Finn-Atkins Dr. Reeder Senior Thesis 13 May 2012 Finn-Atkins 1 In the preface to Catholic Liturgy: It’s fundamental principles, the French Benedictine monk Gaspar Lefebvre considers the liturgy in terms of the relationship between body and soul: Others again, without going so far, are content to look upon the liturgy as simply the organization of exterior and public worship paid by the Church to God – the carrying out in extenso of her rubrics and ceremonies, intended only for priests. To these last we reply that this is indeed the body, the visible part of the liturgy. But we must bear in mind that the liturgy has also a soul, which is invisible and for that reason, alas, too often ignored. This soul is the power of glorifying God and of sanctifying men which these objects, formulas and exterior rites possess.1 Lefebvre explains that the liturgy, generally defined as a form of public worship, also involves a private aspect that is frequently overlooked.2 While the congregation performs the prescribed motions of worship, each individual ought to experience personal transformation and the glorification of God.

  • Wine Used for Mass
    Regarding the Wine Used for Mass Red or White? Nothing is specified canonically as to whether the wine is to be a red, a white or a blush. This determination is left to the individual community. The general consensus, however, is that most people prefer a wine that is a bit sweet and fruity. What is indicated is that to be considered valid sacramental matter the wine is to be natural and made from grapes (cf. Canon 924 §3). Wine made from any fruit other than grapes is considered invalid matter. Alcohol Content A minimum or maximum level has never been specified in canonical literature since the revision of the Code of Canon Law in 1983; however, in the estimation of canonists, it usually falls somewhere below 20%. Generally speaking, the alcohol content for most commercially produced wines is between 8% and 17%. If mustum were to be used it cannot have an alcohol content of less than 1%. Mustum is grape juice in which the fermentation process has begun, but has been suspended. Mustum is reserved for those who suffer from alcohol intolerance and permission to use mustum must be given by the local Ordinary on a case-by-case basis. Additives Canon 924 §3 states the wine must not be corrupt, i.e. it is to be pure and natural. In the United States there are state-mandated additives to all commercially produced wines to act as an anti- oxidant which preserves the natural good condition of the wine and retards spoilage. Sulfides are added in such small amounts that the Holy See has had no objection to them, since their presence does not corrupt the wine.
