Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum habitare fratres in unum.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is, when friends live together in unity. Such unity is fragrant as the precious oil poured upon the head and falling down over the head of Aaron, down to the collar of his robes. Such unity is plentiful as the dew of Mount Hermon, descending upon the hills of Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, and life for evermore.

C o l l e c t LITURGY OF THE WORD
R ea d i n g I Acts 9:26-31
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple. Then Barnabas took charge of him and brought him to the apostles, and he reported to them how he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus. He moved about freely with them in Jerusalem, and spoke out boldly in the name of the Lord. He also spoke and debated with the Hellenists, but they tried to kill him. And when the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him on his way to Tarsus. The church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was at peace. It was being built up and walked in the fear of the Lord, and with the consolation of the Holy Spirit it grew in numbers.

R ea d i n g II I Peter 5:1-4
Hermanos: Me dirijo ahora a los pastores de las comunidades de ustedes, yo, que también soy pastor como ellos y además he sido testigo de los sufrimientos de Cristo y participante de la gloria que se va a manifestar. Apacienten el rebaño que Dios les ha confiado y cuiden de él no como obligados por la fuerza, sino de buena gana, como Dios quiere; no por ambición de dinero, sino con entrega generosa; no como si ustedes fueran los dueños de las comunidades que se les han confiado, sino dando buen ejemplo. Y cuando aparezca el Pastor supremo, recibirán el premio inmortal de la gloria.

Un día, al atardecer, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: “Vamos a la otra orilla del lago.” Entonces los discipulos despidieron a la gente y condujeron a Jesús en la misma barca en que estaba. Iban además otras barcas. De pronto se desató un fuerte viento y las olas se estrellaban contra la barca y la iban llenando de agua. Jesús dormía en la popa, reclinaro sobre un cojín. Lo despertaron y le dijeron: “Maestro, ¿no te importa que nos hundamos?” El se despertó, reprendió al viento y dijo al mar: “¡Cállate, enmudece!” Entonces al viento cesó y sobrevino una gran calma. Jesús les dijo: “¿Por qué tenían tanto miedo? ¿Aún no tenien fe?” Todos se quedaron espantados y se decían unos a otros: “¿Quién es éste, a quien hasta el viento y el mar obedecen?”

For Catholics As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.
For Our Fellow Christians We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ’s prayer for us “that they may all be one” (John 17:21).
Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844 § 4). Members of the Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of communion by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 § 3).
For Non-Christians We also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family.
For Those Not Receiving Holy Communion All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.

Grand choeur dialogue Eugène Gigout (1844-1925) His Excellency The Most Reverend Wilton D. Gregory Seventh Archbishop of Washington
rchbishop Wilton D. Gregory was born December 7, 1947 in Chicago to Wilton Sr. and Ethel Duncan Gregory; he has two sisters, Elaine and Claudia. He attended Saint Carthage Grammar School, where he converted to Catholicism. He attended Quigley Preparatory ASeminary South, Niles College (now Saint Joseph’s College Seminary) of Loyola University and Saint Mary of the Lake Seminary.
He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago on May 9, 1973, and three years after his ordination began graduate studies at the Pontifical Liturgical Institute (Sant’ Anselmo) in Rome. There he earned his doctorate in sacred liturgy in 1980.
After having served as an associate pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in Glenview, Illinois, as a member of the faculty of Saint Mary of the Lake Seminary in Mundelein and as a master of ceremonies to Cardinals John Cody and Joseph Bernardin, he was ordained an auxiliary bishop of Chicago on December 13, 1983.

Archbishop Gregory has served in many leading roles in the United States church. In November 2001, he was elected president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) following three years as vice president under Bishop Joseph Fiorenza of the Diocese of Galveston- Houston. During his tenure in office, the crisis of sex abuse by Catholic clergy escalated; and under his leadership, the bishops implemented the “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.”
He has served on the USCCB’s Executive and Administrative Committees, the Administrative Board, the Committee on Doctrine and the United States Catholic Conference Committee on International Policy. He previously served as the chairman of the Bishops’ Committees on Personnel, Divine Worship and the Third Millennium/Jubilee Year 2000 from 1998-2001, and Liturgy from 1991- 1993.
Archbishop Gregory has written extensively on church issues, including pastoral statements on the death penalty, euthanasia/physician-assisted suicide and has published numerous articles on the subject of liturgy, particularly in the African-American community. Archbishop Gregory has been awarded nine honorary doctoral degrees. He received the Great Preacher Award from Saint Louis University in 2002; Doctorate of Humanities from Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois (2002-2003); Sword of Loyola from Loyola University of Chicago (2004); Doctorate of Humane Letters from Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama (2005); Doctorate of Humane Letters from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio; Doctorate of Humane Letters from McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois; Doctorate of Humanities from Fontbonne University in St. Louis, Missouri; Honorary Law Degree from Notre Dame University (2012); and the Chicago Catholic Theological Union Honorary Doctorate from Saint Louis University (2013).
In 2006 he joined an illustrious group of preachers with his induction into the Martin Luther King Board of Preachers at Morehouse College, Atlanta. At the National Pastoral Life Center in Washington, D.C., Archbishop Gregory was honored with the Cardinal Bernardin Award given by the Catholic Common Ground Initiative (2006).

Significance
The dexter impalement (on the observer’s left) displays the arms of the Archdiocese of Washington, which consist of a shield quartered in blue and red, charged with a cross bottony - each limb terminating in three knobs - quartered in gold (yellow) and silver (white), based on the cross in the arms of Maryland. The cross, in the traditional papal colors, together with the red, white and blue of the overall design, symbolizes the presence of the Catholic Church in Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital, and in the Maryland counties of Montgomery, Prince George’s, St. Mary’s, Calvert and Charles.
In the first quarter is a silver crescent, a traditional symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patroness of the Archdiocese, and patroness of the United States under the title of her Immaculate Conception. The three six-pointed silver stars in the second quarter are taken from the arms of Pope Pius VI, who reigned at the time of the Declaration of Independence. The three five-pointed silver stars in the third quarter are adapted from the arms of George Washington. In the fourth quarter, the man’s face between two wings in silver represents the “man” envisioned in Ezekiel 1 and Revelation 4, a traditional symbol of Saint Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist, the patron of the Cathedral.
The sinister impalement (on the observer’s right) displays the personal arms of Archbishop Gregory, adopted when he was appointed as Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago and used by him as Bishop of Belleville and as Archbishop of Atlanta.
On a silver (white) field is a cross of black on green on red. These colors are known as the African- American colors, and by their use on the cross Archbishop Gregory honors the religious and racial heritage that has come to him from his parents, Wilton and Ethel (Duncan) Gregory.
In the first quarter is a raven, to honor the Archbishop’s Benedictine education at the Pontifical Liturgical Institute Sant’ Anselmo in Rome. The black bear in the second quarter is taken from the arms of His Eminence, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, his principal episcopal consecrator. The fleur-de-lis in the third quarter, here in red, is taken from the arms of the Mundelein Seminary in Chicago, where Archbishop Gregory was both a student and faculty member. In the fourth quarter a golden phoenix coming forth from red flames honors the City of Chicago, reborn after the Great Fire of 1871.
Behind the arms is placed a gold double-traversed processional cross, symbolic of the archiepiscopal rank. Over the whole achievement is a bishop’s hat, or galero, with ten tassels pendent on each side, in four rows, all in green, also for an archbishop.
For his motto, Archbishop Gregory chose “We are the Lord’s,” taken from St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, which expresses his deep Christian belief that in all that we are, and in all that we do, “we are the Lord’s” (Romans 14: 8).
The arms of the Archdiocese of Washington were devised in December 1947 by William F. J. Ryan (1903-1981) of New York, and slightly modified in September 2001, when the cross bottony was substituted for the original cross of chain links in silver. The emblazonment of the modified version of the arms was undertaken by Anthony W. C. Phelps (1931-2005) of Cleveland, Ohio. Archbishop Gregory’s personal arms were devised by Rev. Mr. Paul J. Sullivan, Permanent Deacon of the Diocese of Providence. Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
