The Mass Explained (Part 6)

The Liturgy of the Eucharist

Washing of Hands: After the bread and wine are prepared, the presider washes his hands. This may originally have been a practical action following the presentation of the gifts when the gifts included various foods for the poor - often livestock such as ducks, chicken and so forth. In Judaism, washing hands was highly ritualistic. Remember the criticism that the apostles received for not washing. It was done precisely in a certain way for purification - but only in the spiritual sense. The early church used it as a reminder of our need to be cleansed from sin.

The priest says the following prayer: “Lord, wash away my iniquities and cleanse me from my sins.” The prayer is called the Lavabo and is taken directly from Psalm 51, verse 2.

The priest than invites the congregation to participate in offering the gift to God by saying: “Pray, brethren [brothers and sisters] that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.” The people respond, “May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church.”

The priest then says a brief prayer over the gifts, dedicating them for the sacrifice. The prayer is called the Secreta which means “secret.” The word secreta comes from the word secernere which means “to separate” or “to set apart.” The prayer sets the gifts apart for the celebration of the Eucharist.

The Eucharistic Prayer: We now begin the Eucharistic prayer - the core of the Mass. This prayer derives from an ancient Jewish prayer form called berakah. This means “blessing” and it occurred in two forms. An informal and formal form. The Eucharistic prayer has the same structure as the formal berakah, beginning with standard opening invocations of praise and thanks (“Let us give thanks to the Lord our God”, recalling God’s wondrous works, especially in Jesus, offering petitions and concluding with the doxology “Through him, …”

The Preface: The priest prepares the spirit of the people by saying in the preface, “Lift up your hearts.” The preface used to be thought of as sort of an introduction, like the beginning of a book. But it is not really something you say before the Eucharistic prayer, but more fittingly, it is a thanksgiving proclaimed before the community. Most missalettes show only four standard Sunday prefaces, but the preface section of the Roman Missal contains many prefaces for the needs of various Masses including: Advent I, II; Nativity I, II, III: Epiphany, Lent I, II, II, IV; Passion I, II; Easter I, II, II, IV, V; Ascension I, II; Ordinary Time I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII; Eucharist I, II; Virgin Mary I, II; Apostles I, II; Saints I, II; Mar- tyrs I, II; Pastors; Virgins and Religious; Common Preface I, II, III, IV, V, VI; For the Dead I, II, III, IV, V.

The preface is introduced with: “The Lord be with You” (Ruth 2:4, Judges 6:12, Luke 1:28) “And with your spirit” (Ruth 2:4) “Life up your hearts” (Psalm 32:11, Psalm 31:24) “We lift them up to the Lord” (Psalm 13:5, Psalm 28:7) “Let us give thanks to the Lord our God” (Psalm 106:1, 107:1) “It is right and just” (1 Chr. 29:13)

Holy, Holy, Holy (Sanctus) After the preface which begins the Eucharistic Prayer, the congregations responds to this initial praise with the Holy, Ho- ly, Holy. This hymn is drawn from Isaiah 6:2-3, which describes Isaiah’s vision in the Temple around the year 740BC. It was used in the Jewish liturgy even before its use in Christian worship, so it is one of the most ancient elements in the Eucharist. The second half of the text (“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest.”) is the acclamation used by the people during Christ’s entry into Jerusalem when his crowds of disciples held palms as he entered the city.

Hosanna comes from the Hebrew Hosiahna and literally means “Give salvation.” In the highest is a Hebrew expression which means Hosanna to God who lives in the highest of heavens. In Latin, Hosanna is Sanctus. The Sanctus is a sym- phony of unity, which gathers together into one praise the cosmic universe, the angelic world, the saints of heaven and the Church of the earth.

Its origin is feel marginalized, even unwelcome--inviting them to come lost in those days when Jerusalem was restored as a sacred city, at the time of home. But with all this mercy, why today's mayhem? "Do the Roman Emperor Constantine (c. 285 you think I have come to establish peace on earth? No, I -337). By then it had been a pagan city tell you, but rather division" (Luke 12:51).

--Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. On the hill itself was the "Place of Dormition," the spot of Mary's "falling asleep," where she had died. The "Tomb of “Misericordes sicut Pater” Mary" was where she was buried. At this time, the "Memory (Be Merciful as your heavenly Father) of Mary" was being celebrated. Later it was to become our Feast of the Assumption. In the seventh century, it began to be celebrated in Rome under the title of the "Falling Asleep" ("Dormitio") of the Mother of God. Soon the name Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults was changed to the "Assumption of Mary," since there was more to the feast than her dying. It also proclaimed that she “For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, had been taken up, body and soul, into heaven. says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope.” Jeremiah That belief was ancient, dating back to the apostles them- 29:11 selves. What was clear from the beginning was that there

Vocation Corner: The Olympics

Currently we are right in the middle of the Olympics and if you’ve been watching you’ve certainly heard stories of dedication, perseverance, and commitment to training. I am often impressed at just how focused these athletes are towards achieving their goal of being the best that they can possibly be. It reminds of my St. Paul’s exhortation to the Corinthians where he says: “Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win. Every athlete exercises discipline in every way. They do it to win a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.” A gold medal is nice, but eternal life and sainthood is infinitely better. But what we have to ask ourselves is whether or not our dedication to living for Christ is as consistent as Olympic athletes are to their training programs! All great athletes not only stay the course and persevere when things get tough, but they also have to set aside some of their own plans and desires because they understand that there is a bigger goal to keep in mind. So too they know the importance of check- ing in with their trainers as they progress. Do you speak to your trainer and follow His advice for your training in sanc- tity? Or to put it differently: Do you follow God’s prompt- ings for what He calls you to each day? Or do you decide for yourself? The stakes are high and we only get one chance, so make sure to train right by letting God lead you and by truly dedicating yourself to whatever mission He calls you to.

Baptism of Infants or children under 7 years of age: To schedule a Baptism, please begin by calling the parish office. Baptism is celebrated on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month immediately after the 11AM Mass. Please consider scheduling your child’s Baptism before your child is born to ensure an opening in the month of your choice. In addition, a Baptismal preparation class is required for the parents. This class is offered on the 1st Sunday of each month after the 9AM Mass. Sign-up is required and you may take the class before your child is born.

Sacrament of Marriage: At St. Patrick, couples planning to marry need to meet with the Pastor before a wedding date can be set. Please contact the parish office to setup an initial meeting at least 6 months prior to any requested marriage date. This initial meeting will give you an overview of the requirements for marriage and the preparation required. At least one of the couple, or their parents, must be registered parishioners for at least 6 months and be active participating members of St. Patrick Church in order to be married at the church. Both individuals must be at least 19 years of age. Page 10 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Liturgical Ministry Schedule
