At Mass, We pray to Mary the mother of Jesus, the angels and the saints (those who have we gather together in the presence of God not only to give praise and thanks to Him, W reached heaven) in order to ask that they pray with us and for us to God, just as we but to pray for one another. We learn from and are inspired by His word in Scripture, would ask one another to pray with us and for us to God.

We prepare for receiving Holy Communion during Mass as described on page 9. “Th e smoke of the incense along with the prayers of the holy ones went up before God from the hand of the angel.” Revelation 8:4 “I, the Lord, am your God… You shall not have other gods besides me” “Remember the Sabbath day – keep it holy. Six days you may labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God…” Exodus 20:2-3, 8-10 “… and (He) went according to his custom into the synagogue on the Sabbath day…” Luke 4:16 “Th ey devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles… to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers” Acts2:42 10 3 Receiving Holy Communion Making the Sign of the Cross (Sacrament of the Eucharist) Making the sign of the cross is a sacred action in which we bless ourselves or others.

Andrew was one of the two, so he went and told his brother Simon, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed). (Read about this in the first chapter of John’s Gospel.) 1 ©2021 Holy Heroes, LLC www.HolyHeroes.com As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” At once they left their nets and followed Jesus. When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple tax approached Peter and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the Temple tax?” “Yes,” he said. Jesus told Peter, “Go to the sea, drop in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up. Open its mouth, and you will find a coin worth twice the Temple tax.

    St. Augustine and the Doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ Stanislaus J

    ST. AUGUSTINE AND THE DOCTRINE OF THE MYSTICAL BODY OF CHRIST STANISLAUS J. GRABOWSKI, S.T.D., S.T.M. Catholic University of America N THE present article a study will be made of Saint Augustine's doc­ I trine of the Mystical Body of Christ. This subject is, as it will be later pointed out, timely and fruitful. It is of unutterable importance for the proper and full conception of the Church. This study may be conveniently divided into four parts: (I) A fuller consideration of the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ, as it is found in the works of the great Bishop of Hippo; (II) a brief study of that same doctrine, as it is found in the sources which the Saint utilized; (III) a scrutiny of the place that this doctrine holds in the whole system of his religious thought and of some of its peculiarities; (IV) some consideration of the influence that Saint Augustine exercised on the development of this particular doctrine in theologians and doctrinal systems. THE DOCTRINE St. Augustine gives utterance in many passages, as the occasion de­ mands, to words, expressions, and sentences from which we are able to infer that the Church of his time was a Church of sacramental rites and a hierarchical order. Further, writing especially against Donatism, he is led Xo portray the Church concretely in its historical, geographical, visible form, characterized by manifest traits through which she may be recognized and discerned from false chuiches. The aspect, however, of the concept of the Church which he cherished most fondly and which he never seems tired of teaching, repeating, emphasizing, and expound­ ing to his listeners is the Church considered as the Body of Christ.1 1 On St.

    REFORMATION VIEWS of COMMUNION John 6:47-59 INTRODUCTION

    REFORMATION VIEWS OF COMMUNION John 6:47-59 INTRODUCTION I am calling the month of October at Corntassel “Reformation Month.” Actually October 31st is Reformation Day, since it is on this day in 1517 that Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to Wittenberg church door to debate the issue of penance and indulgences. Many count this event is what gave birth to the Protestant Reformation. Usually the Sunday closest to October 31 is called “Reformation Sunday.” But since this year is the 500th year anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, I’m going to call October “Reformation Month.” One thing we will be doing to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation is that I will be preaching on the 5 Solas of the Reformation. Since today is also World Communion Sunday I will be preaching on the Reformation View of the Lord’s Supper. THE TRANSUBSTANTIATON VIEW The Lord’s Supper was one of the key focuses of the Reformation. The Reformers believed that the Church of their day had totally distorted the meaning of it. In short, the Catholic view is that the elements, the bread and the cup, are miraculously changed into the actual Body and Blood of Christ through the priest’s blessing. Since the elements become the literal Body and Blood of Christ they can be elevated, revered and even worshipped for they are the actual Body and Blood of Christ. This is called the “Transubstantiation View.” The Protestants believed that this was a form of idolatry and close to being magical incantations which led to many superstitions.

Boston College School of Theology & Ministry Introduction Metanoiete. From the very first word of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Mark reform and renewal have been an essential feature of Christian life and thought – just as they were critical to the message of the prophets of ancient Israel. The preaching of the Gospel presumes at least some openness to change, to acting differently and to thinking about things differently. This process has been repeated over and over again over the centuries. This insight forms the backbone of Gerhard Ladner’s classic work The Idea of Reform, where renovatio and reformatio are constants throughout Christian history.1 All of the great reform movements in the past twenty centuries have been in response to both changing cultural and societal circumstances (like the adaptation of Christianity north of the Alps) and the failure of Christians individually and communally to live up to the demands of the Gospel.

  • R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines

    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines

    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines This year in the Religious Education Program we are re-instituting Prayer Requirements for each grade level. Please review the prayers required to be memorized, recited from text, \understood, or experienced for the grade that you are teaching (see p. 1) Each week, please take some class time to work on these prayers so that the R.E. students are able not only to recite the prayers but also to understand what they are saying and/or reading. The Student Sheet (p. 2) will need to be copied for each of your students, the student’s name placed on the sheet, and grid completed for each of the prayers they are expected to know, or understand, or recite from text, or experience. You may wish to assign the Assistant Catechist or High School Assistant to work, individually, with the students in order to assess their progress. We will be communicating these prayer requirements to the parents of your students, and later in the year, each student will take their sheet home for their parents to review their progress. We appreciate your assistance in teaching our youth to know their prayers and to pray often to Jesus… to adore God, to thank God, to ask God’s pardon, to ask God’s help in all things, to pray for all people. Remind your students that God always hears our prayers, but He does not always give us what we ask for because we do not always know what is best for others or ourselves. “Prayer is the desire and attempt to communicate with God.” Remember, no prayer is left unanswered!
