August 8, 2021—Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time page 4 A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WHAT, HOW AND WHY Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus: Song of Heaven The words of the Sanctus are rooted in the scriptures. They recall the song of the seraphim in the prophet Isaiah’s vision of God in majesty: “Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and “Do not grieve the Holy Spirt.” with two they hovered aloft. ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LĔėĉ of hosts!’ they Your faithful response to your cried one to the other. ‘All the earth is ϐilled with his glory!’ ” (Isaiah vocation gives joy to the heart of 6:2-3). They recall the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem: “Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is he who comes in the name of God. Perhaps priesthood or the Lord; hosanna in the highest” (Matthew 21:9). Yet the liturgy adds consecrated life awaits you. something new to these ancient texts. The seraphim sang, “the earth is Contact ϐilled with his glory.” But the liturgy proclaims, “heaven and earth are Fr.

The Sanctus raises us to heaven, but does not remove us from the earth. It is the song of the King who took on our human ϐlesh so that we might share in his divine life.—Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CIVIL DISCOURSE

“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God.” These words bring us up short! What could we be doing to grieve the Holy STEWARDSHIP Spirit? Alas, the same things THOUGHTS that the Ephesians were doing in the time of Paul, that “Get up and eat or the journey will is, ϐighting, shouting, reviling be too much for you!” 1 Kings 19:7 each other with fury, anger, and malice. Just tune in to talk radio some day or observe some “road rage” on the expressway. If we who are partakers of the Body of Christ can treat one another this God knows that committing to a way, what does that mean about our belief in Christ’s message of stewardship lifestyle is difϐicult. peace and reconciliation? The Eucharist is the sacrament of unity. However, we were not designed to It is communion with God and with each other. A good ϐirst step do it on our own, we need His help. would be to speak civilly to each other, even in disagreement! Fortunately, God gave us the Copyright © J. S.

Through the gift of the Eucharist, St. Joseph obtain for the Church we join our sacriϐice with the and for the world, as well as for each us, sacriϐice of the Holy Mass and the blessing of the father, Son, and receive the strength and courage to Holy Spirit. be His joyful disciples. —St. John Paul II
