MASS WITH BISHOP DIOCESE OF SUPERIOR When Bishop celebrates Mass, it can sometimes look a little different. Here are a few ways and reasons why. MITRE (MIGHT·ER) This is a symbol of a Bishop's authority and leadership of the Church. He wears it 4 times during the Mass. Can you spot them all? - During the opening/ closing procession - Listening to the readings - Preaching the homily - Final blessing ZUCCHETTO (ZO͞ OˈKEDŌ) This is what Bishop wears under his mitre. He will take it off during the Eucharistic Prayer as a sign of respect for Jesus in the Eucharist. Cardinals and Popes also wear zucchetto's but you can tell who they are by the color. - Bishops - magenta - Cardinal - red - Pope - white INCENSE When a Bishop says Mass, there is an option to use incense. Incense is burned to create a sweet smelling smoke. The smoke symbolizes our prayers going up to God in Heaven. Incense also symbolized purification (cleansing) which is why it is directed toward important things including the altar, the Gospel book, and people! When it is directed toward people, we should make the sign of the cross as a sign of receiving the blessing. CROSIER (KROW·ZEER) A Crosier is carried by Bishop during the Mass. It is shaped like the staff that were used by shepherds. This is an outward sign of their ministry as shepherds of God’s people. All of the people of a diocese are considered to be a part of the bishop's flock and he is in charge of caring for them. PONTIFICAL BLESSING & PROCESSIONAL BLESSING A blessing by the priest is something that happens at the end of every Mass. Bishop's are able to give a special blessing called a 'pontifical blessing'. We get to participate in this blessing using responses that remind us of God's goodness. V. Blessed be the name of the Lord. R. Now and forever. V. Our help is in the name of the Lord. R. Who made heaven and earth. V. May Almighty God bless you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. R. Amen. At the end of Mass, Bishop will process out of the church just like a priest. There is one difference to watch for though. Bishop will bless people as he walks out by making the sign of the cross with his hand. We can show that we receive the blessing by making the sign of the cross too. Prayer for Bishop God, eternal shepherd, you tend your Church in many ways and rule us with love. You have chosen your servant, James, to be a shepherd of your flock. Give him a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he build your Church as a sign of salvation for the world. MEET OUR BISHOP - His full name is Most Reverend James Patrick Powers. - His Birthday is February 6th. - He is one of seven brothers and sisters. - He grew up on a farm in Hammond, WI. - He has been a priest for over 30 years! - He is the 11th Bishop of the Diocese of Superior. - Each bishop has their own motto. His is “LEAD ME, LORD, BY YOUR LIGHT.” and comes from Psalm 85. - Every bishop also has a coat of arms with symbolism unique to them. This tradition dates back to a time when this was how you identified things about a person without needing to read. - Upper Left - Lake Superior - Lower Left - French missionaries who evangelized to this region - Upper Right - James is symbolized by the shell, and Patrick by the shamrock - Lower Left - Love of the northwoods and America. FACTS ABOUT BISHOPS - The Pope is the bishop of Rome. He is the one who appoints all the other bishops. - Jesus's 12 apostles were the first bishops of the Catholic Church. All of the bishops in the Church today can trace their roots back to one of the Apostles. - Just like priests are father's to their parish, Bishops are like a father for all of the priests in a diocese. - Traditionally, Bishops are referred to as "Your Excellency" although this is generally only used for special occasions now. - Bishop's have a lot of responsibility to guide the Church closer to heaven, so we should respect and pray for them! .

    The Goodnewsletter A Newsletter for Members of St. Ann, St. Vincent de Paul & St. Patrick Parishes Stannlenox.org/[email protected] 134 Main St., Lenox, MA 01240 (413) 637-0157 Volume 4 - Issue 2 September 2016 A NOTE FROM OUR PASTOR . On June 20th, our first parish meeting was held in the Family Center. There were some 55 people in attendance. To prepare for the parish meeting a survey was posted on the parish website and available for parishioners to answer. Some submitted an available paper survey. The results are posted on the parish web site and will remain available for anyone to consult throughout the year. Some 58 persons answered the survey. The results ran to some 50+ pages. A synthesis of the material will be posted on the website soon. However, I urge everyone to read the survey responses. All of the responses were well thought out and cogently expressed. There seems to be a remark- able consensus on many mattes and a thoughtful disagreement on others. At the parish meeting, fortunately, it turns out; I was not able to present a synthesis of the survey because I could not hook up my laptop to the projector. As a happy consequence the conversation among the participants begins right away, based upon what they wanted to express and not as a response to my presentation. The conversation was spirited and fruitful. Participants focused on three overriding issues: faith formation, stabilizing our financial situation, and outreach in general but particularly to youth and young adults. A variety of views were expressed and differences were very respectfully express and received.

  • How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear?

    How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear?

    How Do Cardinals Choose Which Hat to Wear? By Forrest Wickman March 12, 2013 6:30 PM A cardinal adjusts his mitre cap. Photo by Alessia Pierdomenico/Reuters One-hundred-fifteen Roman Catholic cardinals locked themselves up in the Vatican today to select the church’s next pope. In pictures of the cardinals, they were shown wearing a variety of unusual hats. How do cardinals choose their hats? To suit the occasion, to represent their homeland, or, sometimes, to make a personal statement. Cardinals primarily wear one of three different types. The most basic hat is a skullcap called the zucchetto (pl. zucchetti), which is a simple round hat that looks like a beanie or yarmulke. Next is the collapsible biretta, a taller, square-ridged cap with three peaks on top. There are certain times when it’s customary to put on the biretta, such as when entering and leaving church for Mass, but it’s often just personal preference. Cardinals wear both of these hats in red, which symbolizes how each cardinal should be willing to spill his blood for the church. (The zucchetto is actually worn beneath the biretta.) Some cardinals also wear regional variations on the hat, such as the Spanish style, which features four peaks instead of three. On special occasions, such as when preparing to elect the next leader of their church, they may also wear a mitre, which is a tall and usually white pointed hat. The mitre is the same style of cap commonly worn by the pope, and it comes in three different styles with varying degrees of ornamentation, according to the occasion.

  • Symbols of the Bishop

    Symbols of the Bishop

    SYMBOLS OF THE BISHOP THE BISHOP'S CHAIR The cathedral houses the bishop's throne, or cathedra, (which is the Latin word for "seat" or "chair"). In the ancient world, the chair was not only the symbol of a teacher but also of a magistrate. Thus, the cathedra symbolizes the bishop’s role as teacher and as the governing authority of the diocese. CROSIER The crosier is a pastoral staff that is conferred on bishops (and abbots). The top of the staff is curved to remind the bishop of the shepherd’s crook and of his pastoral care of the people entrusted to him. It symbolizes the bishop’s duty to keep watch over his whole flock, sustaining the weak and wavering, solidifying the faith, and leading those gone astray back into the true fold. ZUCCHETTO The zucchetto is a skullcap worn as part of the liturgical and choir dress of the pope, cardinals, bishops, abbots and priests. During the 13th century, it was developed to cover the tonsure (portion of hair that is shaved when a man entered into the clerical state.) The pope wears a white zucchetto; cardinals, a red zucchetto; and bishops, a purple zucchetto. Black is reserved for all others. PECTORAL CROSS The pectoral cross is worn by the pope, cardinals, bishops and abbots. Tradition holds that reliquaries of the True Cross were worn over the heart; hence, the modern day custom of it being worn over the breast (pectus). The pectoral cross reflects the dignity of the office of bishop or abbot. The cross is either worn suspended from a ceremonial cord at liturgical services or on a chain with his clerical suit.

  • 'Stewards of the Mysteries' Mystery of Holy

    'Stewards of the Mysteries' Mystery of Holy

    ‘Stewards of the Mysteries’ Mystery of Holy Priesthood and Church Hierarchy “As the Father has sent me, even so send I you.” - John 20:21 Christ is the Image of the Father as one of the Holy Trinity. Before His ascension into heaven, Christ bestowed His Holy Spirit upon His Apostles and consecrated them to represent Him upon the Earth, with the Lord Himself acting through them. The Apostles ordained bishops after them as their successors. Just as Christ was surrounded by the Apostles on this earth, whom He also sent out as His hands and feet, so also the Apostles and bishops after them ordain presbyters (priests) who surround them in the Liturgy and are sent to perform the Holy Mysteries (except ordination and consecrating Holy Chrism oil). The deacons are ordained for angelic service in the Holy Altar, and in the Church generally. “As the Father has sent me, even so send I you.” - John 20:21 “Let nothing be done apart from the bishop. Without these three orders [deacons, priests, bishops] you cannot begin to speak of a church.” - St. Ignatius of Antioch (d. 108 A.D.) Bishops: Successors to the Apostles, as icons of Christ. Priests (Presbyters): Surround the bishop as the Apostles surrounded Christ, and in like manner are sent out by the bishop to serve the Holy Mysteries and preach the Gospel as icons of Christ under the bishop’s leadership. Deacons (literally ‘servants’): Represent the Holy Angels serving at the Altar of God. The bishop stands before the Holy Altar, and the priests surround the bishop around the Altar as the Apostles surrounded Christ.

The Corsini Family Members of the Corsini family settled in Florence in the middle of the 13th century, attaining leading roles in government, the law, trade and banking. During that time, the Republic of Florence became one of the mercantile and financial centres in the Western world. Along with other leading families, the Corsini name was interwoven with that of the powerful Medici until 1737, when the Medici line came to an end. The Corsini family can also claim illustrious members within the Catholic Church, including their family saint, Andrea Corsini, three cardinals and Pope Clement XII. Filippo Corsini was created Count Palatine in 1371 by the Emperor Charles IV, and in 1348 Tommaso Corsini encouraged the foundation of the Studio Fiorentino, the University of Florence. The family’s history is interwoven with that of the city and its citizens‚ politically, culturally and intellectually. Between 1650 and 1728, the family constructed what is the principal baroque edifice in the city, and their remarkable collection of Renaissance and Baroque art remains on display in Palazzo Corsini today. The Corsini Collection: A Window on Renaissance Florence paints a rare glimpse of family life and loyalties, their devotion to the city, and their place within Florence’s magnificent cultural heritage. Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is delighted that the Corsini family have generously allowed some of their treasures to travel so far from home.
