VINCENT DE PAUL 365-885-3378 The Story Behind the Feast of Corpus Christi The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, historically known by its Latin name, Corpus Christi, celebrates the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist—Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. It is traditionally celebrated on the Thursday following the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity, in Canada, it is celebrated the weekend following. The feast dates to the Middle Ages and originated with a visionary nun and a Eucharistic miracle. THE STORY In 1263 a German priest, Fr. Peter of Prague, made a pilgrimage to Rome. He stopped in Bolsena, Italy, to celebrate Mass at the Church of St. Christina. At the time he was having doubts about Jesus being truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. He was affected by the growing debate among certain theologians who, for the first time in the history of the Church, began introducing doubts about the Body and Blood of Christ being actually present in the consecrated bread and wine. In response to his doubt, when he recited the prayer of consecration as he celebrated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, blood started seeping from the consecrated host and onto the altar and corporal. Fr. Peter reported this miracle to Pope Urban IV, who at the time was nearby in Orvieto. The pope sent delegates to investigate and ordered that host and blood-stained corporal be brought to Orvieto. The relics were then placed in the Cathedral of Orvieto, where they remain today (see photo). This Eucharistic Miracle confirmed the visions given to St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon in Belgium (1193-1258). St. Juliana was a nun and mystic who had a series of visions in which she was instructed by Our Lord to work to establish a liturgical feast for the Holy Eucharist, to which she had a great devotion. After many years of trying, she finally convinced the bishop, the future Pope Urban IV, to create this special feast in honor of the Blessed Sacrament, where none had existed before. Soon after her death, Pope Urban instituted Corpus Christi for the Universal Church and celebrated it for the first time in Orvieto in 1264, a year after the Eucharistic Miracle in Bolsena. Inspired by the miracle, Pope Urban commissioned a Dominican friar, St. Thomas Aquinas, to compose the Mass and Office for the feast of Corpus Christi. Aquinas' hymns in honor of the Holy Eucharist, Pange Lingua, Tantum Ergo, Panis Angelicus, and O Salutaris Hostia are the beloved hymns the Church sings on the feast of Corpus Christi as well as throughout the year during Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

    Good evening everyone. Welcome to the first member call of the 2019-2021 NCCW year. I am Pat Voorhes, NCCW President Elect. Tonight we are going to remember and reminisce about the 2019 NCCW Convention. We will begin tonight with part of the prayer Pope Francis wrote for us Christians to ask for inspiration to take up the commitment to creation set before us by the Gospel of Jesus: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit God of love…. I am joined tonight by first timers Wendy Plawski and Bridgett Adler from the Superior Diocese; first timer Karan Curtis from the Salt Lake City Diocese; NCCW Past President Bobbie Hunt; Susan Porter, Wasatch Deanery President, and Marianne Mulvihill 2nd Vice President for the SLC DCCW. I will read a brief summary of each day of the Atlanta 2019 convention and then my guests will give remarks of some special event that they found enjoyable. I also have remarks from other attendees who could not be with us tonight but wanted to share. The 99th Annual Convention of the National Council of Catholic Women was held at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Hotel & Convention Center. 600 women and priests gathered together to celebrate the theme, NCCW Caring for God’s Creation.

  • HARBINGER Open Minds Open Hearts
    the HARBINGER open minds open hearts VOLUME LXXIII| APRIL 11, 2021 | No. 48B From the Pews, Mark Matlock THE GREATER GOOD Few will recall the name Dolores Hart. Born in 1938, she was a successful actress in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Her film debut was opposite Elvis Presley in “Loving You.” After that, Dolores made 10 films in five years including “King Creole” and “Where the Boys Are.” She also acted on Broadway, garnering a Tony Award nomination for “The Pleasure of His Company.” Dolores also fell in love, became engaged and planned her wedding. By all material accounts, she had it all: fame, fortune and love. So what happened to Dolores Hart? To help answer that question, read Acts 4:32-35. “Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. With great power the apostles gave their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need.” Believing in Christ, the apostles knew “the greater good” was served in following God’s son on his journey of teaching and salvation. Imagine if someone came up and asked you to leave your family, sell your possessions and follow a young, scruffy-looking teacher? Mildly put, it would be a challenge to say yes.

  • Life Together in One Heart Chronicle
    Life Together in One Heart Chronicle Contemporary scholarship reminds us that Benedict did not "invent" Christian monasticism in the West, nor did he create his monastic vision out of whole cloth. He drew on the riches of monastic communities and tradition which preceded him, arranging the inherited wisdom in a fresh way, and giving it the stamp of his own personality and vision. Benedict clearly saw himself as part of a larger monastic tradition in the church, both eastern and western, and sought to pass it on freshly in new circumstances. Both at the beginning of his own Rule for Monks (in the Prologue), and again at the end (in Chapter 73), Benedict recalls the monastic teaching of Saint Basil the Great (330-379 C.E.). He frames his own "little rule for beginners" with references to the spirituality of this great monastic leader of the Eastern Church, and with the encouragement to learn from his writings. Basil's great passion was the common life: it is only there, he taught, in the ordinary daily life with others, that we have any chance of growing into persons and communities increasingly permeated with the values of the Gospel. Without others, how do we grow in humility and patience, in solidarity and respect? Without others with whom we share life, how will we learn to embrace practical service to the neighbor? As Basil asked so pointedly, "Whose feet will we wash?" How else will we become a living body, breathing together in rhythm with the Breath of the Holy Spirit? As Christians and as monks, we hope to embrace Basil's challenge -- one which Benedict clearly understood as central to our vocation.

  • Chch Article July 16
    What Christ Church Cathedral Means To Me, by Sister John Mary Adshead. I am a novice at the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Connecticut. Later this year I will be professing my monastic vows, a key step in my monastic life. At my place in choir, there is a photo of Christ Church Cathedral: not as it was, but as it is now, with its gaping wound a symbol of a still suffering City. It was in this cathedral that God first spoke to my heart, and as we chant our prayers each day at the Abbey, I pray for the Cathedral’s restoration, and take this prayer with me as I move into vows. I was born in Christchurch in 1967. My parents, Samuel and Katherine Adshead, were Lecturers at the University of Canterbury for almost 30 years and devout Anglicans. The Cathedral was our parish, and we attended church there every Sunday, but its place in my life went far beyond this role. As a girl at Saint Margaret’s I sang in our Christmas carol concerts there (and sometimes read lessons from the “eagle” pulpit); we also sang there with Christ’s College. I took organ lessons with David Childs, and to play a Bach fugue within the resonance of a neo-Gothic cathedral was an awe-inspiring experience for a young girl. In addition, I would regularly meet my father after school outside the Cathedral, to take the bus home, and my girlfriend Shelley and I, as teenagers, would often arrange to meet at the top of the spire before going off shopping, just because it seemed the right place to start.

  • Frequently Asked Questions on Sacred Music
    2 Church Music Association of America | Musicasacra.com “As a manifestation of the human spirit,” said John Paul II in 1989, “music performs a function which is noble, unique, and irreplaceable. When it is truly beautiful and inspired, it speaks to us more than all the other arts of goodness, virtue, peace, of matters holy and divine. Not for nothing has it always been, and will it always be, an essential part of the liturgy.” Q: What are the characteristics of sacred music? A: On the centenary of its promulgation, John Paul II urged us to revisit and learn from St. Pius X’s Motu Proprio on Sacred Music, Tra le sollecitudini (1903). Pope Pius distinguished three characteristics of sacred Frequently Asked Questions music: “it must possess holiness and beauty of form: On Sacred Music from these two qualities a third will spontaneously arise—universality” (§2).
