  • The Centrality of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at Christendom College
    THE CENTRALITY OF THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS AT CHRISTENDOM COLLEGE The Church teaches that the Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life”1 and that the celebration of the Mass “is a sacred action surpassing all others. No other action of the Church can equal its efficacy.”2 That is why “as a natural expression of the Catholic identity of the University. members of this community . will be encouraged to participate in the celebration of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, as the most perfect act of community worship.”3 Those central truths are taught and lived at Christendom College, a “Catholic coeducational college institutionally committed to the Magisterium”4 of the Church, in the following ways: The Celebration of the Sacred Liturgy The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass • Mass is offered frequently: twice daily Monday through Thursday, three times on MONDAY (Friday), twice on Saturday, and once on Sunday (the day on which we gather as one family). • Mass in the Roman Rite is celebrated in all the ways offered by the Church: in the Ordinary Form in both English and Latin, and in the Extraordinary Form from one to three times per week, as circumstances permit. • The Ordinary Form of the Mass is celebrated with the solemnity appropriate to each feast, utilizing worthy sacred vessels and vestments, and drawing upon the Church’s rich tradition of chant, polyphony, and hymnody. • The Ordinary Form of the Mass is celebrated reverently and with rubrical fidelity. • No classes or other activities are scheduled during Mass times. • The majority of the College community attends daily Mass regularly and with great devotion.

  • First Fridays and Eucharistic Adoration
    First Fridays and Eucharistic Adoration Let us be generous with our time in going to meet him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease.” – Pope John Paul II Why First Friday? In the seventeenth century, Jesus frequently appeared to St. Margaret Mary in France. One of the promises He revealed spoke of first Fridays: “In the excess of the mercy of my Heart, I promise you that my all powerful love will grant to all those who will receive Communion on the First Fridays, for nine consecutive months, the grace of final repentance: they will not die in my displeasure, nor without receiving the sacraments; and my Heart will be their secure refuge in that last hour.” Today, Holy Mass on First Friday is devoted to the Sacred Heart and to the Precious Blood of Jesus. The Eucharist is also taken to shut-ins on this day. Sources: Catholic Encyclopedia and The Catholicism Answer Book What is Eucharistic Adoration? After morning mass, the Eucharist is displayed on the altar in the monstrance. This Presence is honored by having at least one person remain in vigil while it is displayed. While adoration can occur with the Eucharist in the tabernacle, being able to see the Eucharist adds to the intimacy of this time. As the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops notes, “Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church.” The Saint John Paul II Eucharistic Adoration Association points out that this practice was expected to continue after Vatican II: “(In) Mysterium Fidei..

  • Prayers of Reparation
    PRAYERS OF REPARATION An Act of Reparation to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament Pope Pius VII granted an indulgence to everyone who, with contrition for his sins and with devotion, says the following Act of Reparation to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament Jesus, my God, my Saviour, true God and true Man, with that most profound homage with which the faith itself inspires me, I adore and love Thee with my whole heart, enclosed in the most august Sacrament of the Altar, in reparation for all the acts of irreverence, profanation, and sacrilege, which I may ever have been so unhappy as to have committed, as well as for all such like acts that ever have been done, or which may be done, though God forbid they should be, in ages yet to come. I adore Thee, therefore, my God, not indeed as Thou deservest, nor as much as I am bound to adore, but as far as I am able; and I would that I could adore Thee with all the perfection of which all reasonable persons are capable. Meantime I purpose now and ever to adore Thee, not only for those Catholics who adore Thee not, and love Thee not, but also in the stead of, and for the conversion of all heretics, schismatics, impious atheists, blasphemers, impostors, Mahometans, Jews, and idolaters. Jesus, my God, mayest Thou be ever known, adored, loved, and praised every moment, in the most holy and divine Sacrament. Amen. I adore Thee every moment, O living Bread of Heaven, Great Sacrament! Jesus, Heart of Mary, I pray Thee send Thy blessing on my soul.

  • Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church Stewardship of Time and Talent
    BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC CHURCH STEWARDSHIP OF TIME AND TALENT Dear Parishioners, “What return can I make to the Lord for all he has given me?” The Stewardship process helps us to answer this question posed in Psalm 116. This insert presents the various activities that make up the ministries of Blessed Sacrament Parish. More than ever, we need your participation to make the body of Christ a living, breathing reality. I ask you to consider what is a precious commodity—your time. Time is the one thing over which we actually have some control. Please take the time to sit down with your family and discuss how you can more fully participate in our parish life. Our Father has endowed each of us with special talents. Review your own treasury of resources and decide how they can best serve God. Some of our ministries are fully functional; others need leadership. No matter how small you may think your contributions are, any committee would be eager to have your help. Along with my thanks for your life with us, I add the prayer that your giving will always be generous and your joy in serving will always be great and full. Pax, Fr. Joe OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE WORSHIP Eucharistic Ministers (Sick & Homebound) We go to the hospitals, nursing homes and visit the homebound. Eucharistic Ministers carry the Body of Christ to parishioners and nursing home residents who cannot attend Mass. The time of the weekly visits is flexible. Altar Flowers The flower guild enhances the beauty of our church with its weekly flower arrangements and continual upkeep of flowers and plants in the church and social hall.
