    Herald of Good TIDINGS

    2016 Herald of Good TIDINGS “Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah, ‘Behold your God!’” Isaiah 40:9 Fear of the Past Do you remember February 2015? Do you remember the shoveling? The snow? As I write this, another Nor’easter is predicted. All the anchor people on TV are bringing up February of last year. They say, “Here it is, the start of snow, it will be just like last year. Oh, woe is me, we are doomed let us all fall down on our face and wail in lamentation.” Well, maybe they do not SAY the last part, but from their tone of voice it is strongly implied. Winter is very annoying to a modern American. Winter makes us plan based on weather. If it snows, we might have to can- cel plans. If it snows, school will be cancelled. We will have to make plans to care for the kids. I planned to stay up north for three days in January, but the first night it fell to -13°F and I ran out of propane at 4 a.m. So I decided being home was better then freezing in a trailer or buying a ton of propane. It is good from time to time for weather, a good fill in for God, to change our schedule. When the weather is too bad it is good to ask, “Do we really need to do this?” That is a good question to ask often.

  • Mass Stipend Guidelines to Our Parishioners

    Mass Stipend Guidelines to Our Parishioners

    Mass Stipend Guidelines to Our Parishioners From the very beginnings of the Church, it was customary for the faithful to donate the bread and wine to be used in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. In time, offerings of money were substituted for the actual bread and wine. Money given in excess of what was necessary for the procuring of the bread and wine was used to assist the poor and, eventually, to support the clergy. Thus, it became customary for the priest to accept from the faithful a donation (formerly called a “stipend”) in return for remembering a specific intention in the celebration of a Mass. Through this voluntary offering, the donor seeks spiritual benefits that God may bestow upon the persons or concerns that are specially held in prayer at the Mass. What is more, the Code of Canon Law (canon 946) notes that the donor himself benefits: “Christ’s faithful who make an offering so that Mass can be celebrated for their intention contribute to the good of the Church, and by that offering they share in the Church’s concern for the support of its ministers and its activities.” According to the Council of Trent (1545-1563) , the Mass “is quite properly offered according to apostolic tradition not only for the sins, punishments, satisfactions and other needs of the faithful who are living, but also for those who have died in Christ but are not yet fully purified” (Session XXII, Chapter 2). The deep faith and ardent charity of the parishioners of Parish of the Precious Blood manifests itself in the numerous Mass offerings you donate to the parish, especially for your beloved deceased.
