  • Daily Homily 11 August 2021
    Daily Homily St. Clare of Assisi, Abbess Memorial Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time, Wednesday 11 August 2021 USCCB Daily Readings The third saint for this week… St. Clare of Assisi. She is shown in one of our new windows in church here and of course her sisters live close by on Rocky River Drive. She is the friend and contemporary of St. Francis of Assisi. Both lived in that medieval town of Assisi, both from nobility, prestige, and wealth. Both, however, also somewhat deflated by all of that. Clare heard of the conversion of Francis to live another way of life… the life of poverty and prayer. She was taken up by that and at the age of 15, under the guise of night, she fled to join Francis and his growing group. Her family was angered by this and tried to bring her back home, but they were eventually convinced of her seriousness in her new found vocation. Sixteen days later her sister, Agnes, joined her. After the death of her father, her mother, renouncing all of her worldly wealth, joined Clare as well. The Poor Clares, as they would be known, lived a life of seclusion and much silence. They committed themselves to prayer and to any work that needed to be tended to that they could do. Their greatest commitment was to Gospel poverty. Really the only thing they owned would be the clothes on their back. Even their monastery and property, was owned by the Benedictines at the time. However, Clare especially became quite wealthy with wisdom and counsel, even popes and cardinals would come to consult with her.

These aspects were reflected in the iconographie program of the iconostasis. The sanctuary dOOIS are the only part of tt.e Patmlan iconostases bearing figurative decoIatlon. The study of the themes on the doors reveals an iconographie program with strong lituIglcal character. Furthermore, this program encompasses the entire range of the ~tical syrrbol1sm pertaining to the iconostasis.

  • Vestments and Sacred Vessels Used at Mass
    Vestments and Sacred Vessels used at Mass Amice (optional) This is a rectangular piece of cloth with two long ribbons attached to the top corners. The priest puts it over his shoulders, tucking it in around the neck to hide his cassock and collar. It is worn whenever the alb does not completely cover the ordinary clothing at the neck (GI 297). It is then tied around the waist. It symbolises a helmet of salvation and a sign of resistance against temptation. 11 Alb This long, white, vestment reaching to the ankles and is worn when celebrating Mass. Its name comes from the Latin ‘albus’ meaning ‘white.’ This garment symbolises purity of heart. Worn by priest, deacon and in many places by the altar servers. Cincture (optional) This is a long cord used for fastening some albs at the waist. It is worn over the alb by those who wear an alb. It is a symbol of chastity. It is usually white in colour. Stole A stole is a long cloth, often ornately decorated, of the same colour and style as the chasuble. A stole traditionally stands for the power of the priesthood and symbolises obedience. The priest wears it around the neck, letting it hang down the front. A deacon wears it over his right shoulder and fastened at his left side like a sash. Chasuble The chasuble is the sleeveless outer vestment, slipped over the head, hanging down from the shoulders and covering the stole and alb. It is the proper Mass vestment of the priest and its colour varies according to the feast.

  • Designated EM Directions Before Mass Unlock the Tabernacle And
    Designated EM Directions Before Mass Unlock the tabernacle and leave the key in it. Check the ciborium to see how many hosts are left from the previous Mass. A full ciborium is about 250 hosts. We want about 200-250 leftover in the tabernacle. The new larger hosts have caused us to over-judge the actual amount in the tabernacle and this leaves us critically short after mass. • HOSTS: Be sure to use the new larger communion hosts in the square plastic containers (not the sleeved ones). Estimate the appropriate amount of hosts for that mass plus the desired 200-250 leftover amount. Place the largest diameter host on top of the communion hosts in the large ciborium. NOTE: At some of the masses when more than 500 unconsecrated hosts are needed you will need to use an additional ciborium and place it along with the large ciborium at the gifts table. The large ciborium cannot safely hold more than 500 without the danger of spillage. • WINE: Pre-pour the appropriate amount wine into the appropriate number of cups. DO NOT OVER FILL WINE CUPS ( trays in cabinet above sink ) Use a small cruet for the priest’s wine (about 1.5 to 2 ounces) • Take the large ciborium and the small wine cruet to the gifts table in rear of chapel. • Take the empty ciboria (one for each Host server less the number of ciboria in the Tabernacle) to the left side of the left credence shelf. For example, if it is a 4Host/4Cup setup you would have 3 empty ciborias plus the one in the Tabernacle.

  • The Christmas Creche, the Nativity Or Manger Scene, Will Soon Celebrate Its Eight Hundredth Anniversary
    st 1 ​ Advent Meditation, Yr. B Rev. Fr. Rufus Kenny ​ th November 29 2020​ ​ The Christmas Creche, the Nativity or Manger scene, will soon celebrate its eight hundredth anniversary. This beloved Catholic tradition traces its origins back to St. Francis of Assisi in the year 1223. It may be hard to believe but in Assisi Italy, during St. Francis’s day, Catholics were dealing with spiritual problems not so unlike our own. St. Francis saw how the Christmas season was quickly losing its sense of sacred and becoming secularized. From his saintly point of view, it seemed as though the people of his day had replaced the newborn king’s birth with a shallow commercialism. People were more concerned with buying and giving gifts than worshipping God. St. Francis desired to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas: The adoration of Christ. Long before cars would bear those popular bumper stickers, that remind people to “Keep Christ in Christmas,” St. Francis provided his town with an advertisement that would spread around the entire world, namely the first Christmas Creche. His goal was to lift people’s minds and hearts from their ordinary wordily ways of thinking and desiring, and pull them up into a heavenly space—One that is filled with grace and conversion. ​ ​ His hope was to draw people back to God by reminding them that this story concerning the child Jesus is not a dead fact of history but a living reality, not something locked in the past but something alive and made present mystically through the grace of the sacraments.
