Matthew Mitas: REMEMBER THAT JANUARY IS THE MONTH OF THE HOLY CHILDHOOD OF JESUS! CHRISTMAS THANKS I want to thank all of you who were so kind to me this past Christmas; the many who sent cards and kind wishes, all of you who sent up cookies, pastries, and confections of sundry types and kinds, and all who were generous and thoughtful enough to make some other kind of gift. I tried to thank as many of you as I could individually, but now I would like to do it collectively, and, at the same time, to impart my best Christmas blessings to you all. THE PASTOR’S HIP (part II) This coming Thursday is when I submit to the knife and have my hip replaced. I ask your prayers, and knowing how kind and good you are, I’m confident that you will supply them. I hope to be back here in ten days or so, but I’ll be somewhat limited in what I’ll be able to do. I hope to have coverage while I’m gone, although, as I mentioned last week, there will be some disruptions. and so, I’m an- nouncing that next Sunday, the Masses here will be covered by… …CROSS CATHOLIC OUTREACH The priests who represent this Catholic charitable organization have been here before, and I sched- uled to have them come to our parish several months ago (anticipating that I would be in DC for the an- nual Pro-Life March). This year, Fr. Paul Farin, representing Cross Catholic Outreach, will visit us next weekend, covering for me, and making his appeal on behalf of the poor and needy of the world who are served by this worthy organization. Please welcome him in your charity! HAPPY BIRTHDAY… …to Dominican Sr. Marie Bernadette of France, who, as I just saw on the internet, is celebrating her 110th birthday (and 90 years in the Dominican Order). An actuary once told me that nobody in the Unit- ed States lives longer than women in religious life; apparently it obtains in other countries, too. There’s much to be said for a life of prayer and self-sacrifice! QUIZ-A-CATHOLIC Let’s dig deep into the ancient, pre-Vatican II past of the Church and see whether or not you can conjure up the names of these extremely obscure items that are no longer in use (if you get any of these right, you probably need to get out more!): 1. A low candlestick with a short handle held at a bishop’s side when he read the Gospel. 2. A gift from the Sultan, a fan made of ostrich plumes and carried in papal processions. 3. The platform in front of the altar on which the priest stands. 4. A leafy branch used for sprinkling holy water. 5. The title given to the one who takes the narrator’s part in the reading of the Passion. 6. A flat canopy of wood which is hung over the altar and #3. 7. An ornamental curtain hung behind the altar, attached either to the wall or the canopy. 8. The four “minor” orders, received in the early stages of seminary training. 9. The three “Major” orders, received in the last stages of seminary training. 10. The platform and chair upon which the pope sat while carried in solemn procession.
