LIVING THE LITURGY
Silence in the Mass Weekend Masses There are many aspects of verbal Saturday 5:00 p.m. communication that we as Catholics find Sunday 8:00, 9:30 & 11:30 a.m. natural. We recite rote prayers such as the 6:00 p.m.
Nicene Creed and the Lord’s Prayer as an Daily Mass / Communion Service assembly and use call-and-response Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. exchanges like the psalm and intercessions. Daily Holy Hour There are many forms of communication like these in the Mass, but the Monday - Friday 7:30 a.m. most challenging communicative aspect of the Mass is silence. Daily Rosary In a world of constant distractions, it is rare to come across moments of Monday - Friday 9:15 a.m. sustained silence. For this reason, silence becomes awkward and uncomfortable, and even silent prayer can prove to be a struggle. Despite Holy Days of Obligation our disdain for it, silence can dramatically improve our understanding in all 8:30 a.m. & 7:00 p.m. aspects of life, particularly in our relationship with God. Eucharistic Adoration & The Catholic Church, in its wisdom, programmed times of silence into the Reconciliation Eucharistic Liturgy that we celebrate every Sunday. At Mass there are five First Friday of the month silences: before the Penitential Act, after the presider says “Let us pray,” 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. after each reading and the homily, after Communion, and before Mass. Reconciliation Each of these silences are placed into the Mass for a specific reason: to Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. ready our hearts to receive, and to contemplate God’s grace given to us in or by appointment the great Sacrifice of the Mass. Before the Penitential Act, we pause in silence to recall our sins, in preparation for God’s absolution. During the Liturgy of the Word, God reveals himself to us in the story of his relationship with humanity that we MASS INTENTIONS hear in the readings and homily, and silence is our aide to internalizing the Word that is proclaimed. When the presider calls us to prayer, we are called M 8:30 Kathy Moritz to present the prayers of our hearts to God in one communal prayer. The TU 8:30 Fr. Brendan McGuire high point of our communal prayer is the receiving of the Eucharist in W 8:30 Claire Coonan Communion. Once the last member of the Assembly receives Communion, it is important to silently reflect upon the graces given. TH 8:30 Dolores Fortich All these silences are made possible through the silent preparations of our SU 8:00 Elaine Keifer hearts before Mass. Mother Teresa says, “In the silence of the heart, God Paul Sick speaks.” As we enter into worship together, let us remember to worship 9:30 Holy Spirit Parish with a quiet and listening heart, intent on the silence of the heart and the silence of the Mass. 11:30 Kevin Troyan
