At the last minute you have been asked to include music your musicians have never played. You can't get into the Sacristy to turn on the sound because the Sacistan had a flat tire. The previous service has taken too long, so you know you wil not have time for the musicians to go over the new ofertory song with the people. A famous singing star is coming to Mass and wants to sing Amazing Grace as a solo, and the pastor said OK because he didn't want to ofend the hosting family who recently gave $10,000 to upgrade the P.A. system in the church. Third Principle: Mystagogy Entering into the Mystery of Faith Preguntas . Does this Liturgy point to, or encapsulize, a particular teaching? Do the songs, psalms, Prayer of the Faithful and various announcements have a unified theme? Does the music, in content and mood, fit the particular moment and flow of the Liturgical action? Is the over-al music seamless and unified? Does everything invite and encourage attentive participation by the people? Would this Liturgy reflect to a non-Catholic visitor what our Church teaches and stands for and how it should pray? Does this Liturgy in some way cause me to enter more intimately into the mystery of the presence of Christ in the Assenbly and in my personal life? In this Liturgy do I feel in touch with reality yet also in some way in a special realm?

  • R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines
    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines This year in the Religious Education Program we are re-instituting Prayer Requirements for each grade level. Please review the prayers required to be memorized, recited from text, \understood, or experienced for the grade that you are teaching (see p. 1) Each week, please take some class time to work on these prayers so that the R.E. students are able not only to recite the prayers but also to understand what they are saying and/or reading. The Student Sheet (p. 2) will need to be copied for each of your students, the student’s name placed on the sheet, and grid completed for each of the prayers they are expected to know, or understand, or recite from text, or experience. You may wish to assign the Assistant Catechist or High School Assistant to work, individually, with the students in order to assess their progress. We will be communicating these prayer requirements to the parents of your students, and later in the year, each student will take their sheet home for their parents to review their progress. We appreciate your assistance in teaching our youth to know their prayers and to pray often to Jesus… to adore God, to thank God, to ask God’s pardon, to ask God’s help in all things, to pray for all people. Remind your students that God always hears our prayers, but He does not always give us what we ask for because we do not always know what is best for others or ourselves. “Prayer is the desire and attempt to communicate with God.” Remember, no prayer is left unanswered!

  • Sacred Heart's
    Altar Servers Handbook Sacred Heart Catholic Church 21599 Parke Lane Grosse Ile, MI 48138 (734) 676-1378 January, 2014 SERVER'S PRAYER Loving Father, Creator of the universe, you call your people to worship, to be with you and each other at Mass. Help me, for you have called me also. Keep me prayerful and alert. Help me to lead others in prayer. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me. Keep me true to that trust. I make my prayer in Jesus' name, who is with us In the Holy Spirit. Amen. DEFINITION OF ALTAR SERVER It is a great privilege to serve at the Altar of our God and therefore Servers are chosen from those who display a desire for a more intimate relationship with our Lord and God, Jesus Christ who becomes present on the Altar, just as He was at the Last Supper. Accordingly, Servers have a solemn responsibility to do their assigned duties with dignity and reverence. Our parish has Altar Servers (boys and girls), who were baptized Catholic, have made their communion, in third grade or higher and have completed the altar servers training. Servers are encouraged to continue for as long as they will serve. All servers should come to Mass regularly and have a desire to serve at the Altar and assist Father in Mass. Servers are generally scheduled once a month but this may fluctuate according to needs. HOW SHOULD I DRESS WHEN I SERVE? † Clothes should be appropriate for church. Also, remember that it can get very warm while serving so dress according.

  • St. James Community of Faith the Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016
    St. James Community of Faith The Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016 Ministry, is first of all, receiving God’s blessing from those to whom we minister. What is this blessing? It is a glimpse of the face of God. ~Henri Nouwen Acolyte Ministry You are volunteering as a server at church. You light candles, hold the books, handle the vessels, and arrange the cloths. You help the other ministers focus on their work by simplifying their motions and eliminating distractions. You help the entire community celebrate Eucharist by your humble service. Your actions may seem routine, but everyone depends on you to do them without flash. When you serve well, no one notices you. People only notice when things go awry. Still, the Church relies on the assistance of adult servers. Whether in parishes, convents, monasteries, or chapels, adults serve Mass. They join in the prayer, and they assure the smooth execution of the liturgy. 1. Theology and History of the Server The word Eucharist means "thanksgiving". It comes from a Greek word. To this day, when modern Greeks say, "Thank you," they say Eucharisto." It is one of the most used words in the language. Mass is an act of thanksgiving. Through it we call to mind the great deeds God has done for us, and we express our gratitude for them. We do this especially in the prayers. The word Mass means "sending". It comes from the Latin words that conclude the service: Ite, missa est. It has been translated many ways, such as "Co forth, the Mass is ended." Or, more freely, "Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life." "Go, you have been sent." We call this part of Mass the dismissal, but it is not just a "sending from." It is a "sending to." We are not just ending our time of prayer together.

  • A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
    A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.

Dear friends in Christ, during Lent we have been preparing by works of love and self-sacrifice for the celebration of our Lord’s Paschal Mystery. Today we come together to begin this solemn celebration in union with the whole church throughout the world. Christ enters his own city to complete his work as our Savior; to suffer, to die, and to rise again. Let us go with him in faith that, united with him in his sufferings; we may share his risen life.

  • The Penitential Rite & Kyrie
    The Mass In Slow Motion Volumes — 7 and 8 The Penitential Rite & The Kyrie The Mass In Slow Motion is a series on the Mass explaining the meaning and history of what we do each Sunday. This series of flyers is an attempt to add insight and understanding to our celebration of the Sacred Liturgy. You are also invited to learn more by attending Sunday School classes for adults which take place in the school cafeteria each Sunday from 9:45 am. to 10:45 am. This series will follow the Mass in order. The Penitential Rite in general—Let us recall that we have just acknowledged and celebrated the presence of Christ among us. First we welcomed him as he walked the aisle of our Church, represented by the Priest Celebrant. The altar, another sign and symbol of Christ was then reverenced. Coming to the chair, a symbol of a share in the teaching and governing authority of Christ, the priest then announced the presence of Christ among us in the liturgical greeting. Now, in the Bible, whenever there was a direct experience of God, there was almost always an experience of unworthiness, and even a falling to the ground! Isaiah lamented his sinfulness and needed to be reassured by the angel (Is 6:5). Ezekiel fell to his face before God (Ez. 2:1). Daniel experienced anguish and terror (Dan 7:15). Job was silenced before God and repented (42:6); John the Apostle fell to his face before the glorified and ascended Jesus (Rev 1:17). Further, the Book of Hebrews says that we must strive for the holiness without which none shall see the Lord (Heb.

  • Guidelines for Lectors Archdiocese of New York
    October 2014 Guidelines for Lectors Archdiocese of New York Prepared by the Office of Liturgy of the Archdiocese of New York The Guidelines which follow are intended to offer a synthesis of ecclesial documentation concerning the role of the lector within the celebration of the sacred liturgy. As well, they highlight several aspects of this ministry as it is to be carried out within the Archdiocese of New York. These guidelines are directed primarily to pastors and others who oversee the ministry of lectors in the Archdiocese of New York. !1 October 2014 History and Role of the Lector Since the earliest days of the Church, Christians have gathered together to hear the Word of God proclaimed within the celebration of the liturgy. Over the centuries, various groups of persons have been entrusted with this task of reading the Word of God. For example, in the second century, the church began to develop a number of "minor orders." Those who received these orders were responsible for performing various ministerial functions in the liturgy, including that of reading the Word of God. In the first centuries of the Church's history, these lectors were often laymen. However, by the early middle ages, those who were enrolled in the minor order of lector were predominantly clerics studying for the priesthood. In 1972, as a part of the post-conciliar liturgical renewal, Pope Paul VI replaced the minor orders with the ministries of lector and acolyte (Ministeria quaedam). Following the ancient tradition of the Church, these ministries were reserved to men. However, those who exercised these ministries were no longer to be ordained, but simply instituted into these roles.

  • Acolyte Training Information
    When you serve God by serving as an acolyte, you are doing more than carrying a flame to the altar candles. You are symbolically bringing the light of Christ’s spirit into the worship service. I hope that by serving as an acolyte, you will be filled with a sense of spiritual meaning and fulfillment. You will make new friends, have fun, and through your commitment grow in service to our church. I hope this manual will provide a quick reference for you as you begin your journey as an acolyte. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our acolyte coordinator, Jill Ingram @ 650-8607 or [email protected]. You have made an important promise to First United Methodist Church by agreeing to serve as an acolyte. I welcome you and thank you for helping in this very significant position. Background An acolyte is a person who assists in the worship service. Normally, the acolyte serves by lighting and extinguishing the candles on the altar table and by carrying in the cross. Occasionally, an acolyte also may assist in other portions of the worship service. It is the custom in our church for acolytes to be young boys and girls who are in about the third through seventh grades. However, teens and adults also may serve as acolytes. DID YOU KNOW? The acolyte ministry originated from Old Testament times. The Scriptures tell us of the prophet Samuel assisting Eli the priest, and of Elijah being assisted by Elisha. The word “acolyte” comes from the Greek word “akolouthos,” which means a servant or attendant who waits on another.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
