A FEW “NOTES” FROM ERIC

When one experiences the liturgy in its fullness, with care and attention to the actual celebration of the liturgy, one discovers the important qualities of the liturgy: it is a unity, from the beginning SATURDAY, JULY 25 to end (as opposed to a series of things we say and do); it is sober VIGIL OF THE SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME and solemn. This does not equate to sad or cold, but rather the 4:00 P.M. +Anthony Foye by his wife, Terri prayer is not obtrusive. One person at Mass may find occasion for

SUNDAY, JULY 26 great joy, another for deep insight, another for profound sorrow THE SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME and conversion, another simply for consolation. The Mass should 8:30 A.M. Intentions of Richard Tomaskovic not impose any of these on you, but allow you to experience them by Peg Moniz in communion with God and with His people. The liturgy fully 10:30 A.M. For the People of the Parish celebrated clearly becomes another moment, another place. It is 7:00 P.M. +Robert Sargent by Ron and Terri Fredette not part of our time and our world; it is an escape, a refuge, a sanctuary. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has written about the MONDAY, JULY 27 WEEKDAY liturgy, in all its various aspects, at great length. Sacramentum 7:00 A.M. +Patrick Maurice Gavin by Ellyn Fitzpatrick Caritas, an Apostolic Exhortation issued in 2007, centers on “full, TUESDAY, JULY 28 WEEKDAY conscious and active participation”. “In the course of the Synod, 7:00 A.M. Intentions of Laura Brophy there was frequent insistence on the need to avoid any antithesis by Faith Formation between the ars celebrandi, the art of proper celebration, and the full, active and fruitful participation of all the faithful. The WEDNESDAY, JULY 29 SAINT MARTHA primary way to foster the participation of the People of God in the 700 A.M. +Germaine Coulombe by the Lavoie family sacred rite is the proper celebration of the rite itself. The ars THURSDAY, JULY 30 WEEKDAY celebrandi is the best way to ensure their actuosa participatio. The 7:00 A.M. Intentions of Ashley Saucier ars celebrandi is the fruit of faithful adherence to the liturgical by Faith Formation norms in all their richness; indeed, for two thousand years, this

FRIDAY, JULY 31 SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA way of celebrating has sustained the faith life of all believers, 7:00 A.M. +Henry Latona by his family called to partake in the celebration as the People of God, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.” (38) (Part IV of V) SATURDAY, AUGUST 1 SAINT ALPHONSUS LIGUORI 8:00 A.M. +Annette Schwartz  by Mr. and Mrs. Jean Schwartz The Cathedral Parish Choir is currently on a well earned summer hiatus and will return in the fall.

All voice parts are currently being accepted. An interview and audition is required for all potential choristers. The ability to read music proficiently, while THE CATHEDRAL: certainly a benefit, is not a requirement to join the choral ensemble. However, the ability to attend weekly rehearsals (Thursday A SYMBOL OF UNITY evenings) and attendance on Sunday mornings (9:45 a.m.– 11:45/12:00 p.m.) is a requirement. One of the important works of the Cathedral parish is to pray for all of the parishes, institutions, ministries and people of the Diocese of Manchester. This week, we celebrate the feast of Saint NEW WAYS TO PRAY Ignatius of Loyola. We pray for the Jesuit community in New Hampshire on the feast of Saint Ignatius and the people of Saint Ignatius of Loyola parish in Somersworth. For many of the holiest people in history, listening was a major part of their prayer. To practice Just Listening, find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for 10-15 minutes. Sit or kneel in a comfortable, upright position. Take several deep breaths and be SANCTUARY LAMP aware of the air coming in and out of your lungs and notice the quiet around you. Ask God what he would like to tell you and the world about the social issues you are concerned about. Try to

sense God’s love and other feelings for you, your community and For the Souls in Purgatory the world. You may wish to sit in stillness, or you might try writing down what you think God might be saying to you and to your community/world. JULY 26, 2015
