Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time
From the Desk of the Pastor
The readings for this Sunday remind us of the role of humility in our search to discern God’s presence and call in our lives. Both Jesus and
The New Roman Missal: A few people have followed the news and will sometimes ask me about the New Revised Roman Missal and how it will change the tests and responses of the
Communion from the Cup: Why is drinking from the cup so important? It has to do with the sacramental sign. These signs open up the mysterious and wonderful action of God in our midst. That is why we want to make our signs strong – so that they will bear the weight of the mystery they contain. And this is why we are invited to share communion under both kinds in the first place. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal states that: “Holy Communion has a more complete form as a sign when it is received under both kinds. For in this manner of reception a fuller light shines on the sign of the Eucharist banquet.” Now the Eucharistic sign is not just the bread and the wine. The sign is eating the bread (body) and drinking the wine (blood) together at the Lord’s Table. With communion in the form of bread alone, however valid that remains, the Eucharistic sign is weakened.
Liturgical Ministries: Several weeks ago, I submitted all the names of the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and Lectors as the Diocese requested. If you have been “nominated” by me to serve as a Eucharistic Minister or Lector, please be sure to register for the Ministry Training by visiting covingtondiocese.org and clicking the Worship and Liturgy Office page. If you wish to become a Eucharistic Minster or Lector, please call the rectory.
An unknown author said, “Those who can, do. Those who can do more, volunteer.” And, Elizabeth Andrew said, “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.” As Pastor, I am constantly amazed and humbled by how much gets done in and around the parish by the hands and hearts of volunteers. I am very grateful!
Fr. Joe
What is honor? We esteem some people either for their office or for their accomplishments. Yet an individual that one person may greatly honor could just as easily be held in little renown by someone else. Some people would swoon to have a Hall of Fame football player sit at table with them, while for others the opportunity would hold very little interest. Before we get swept up in the fame and glory of this world, it might be good to consider what honor really is—something fleeting, even if it should last untarnished through life. True honor belongs to those who enter the
Stewardship Expressions
Good Stewards are formed by other good stewards! “I do not know where you are from?” What will we do if Jesus speaks those worked to us when we finally meet him? Will our face go pale and our knees buckle? What if Jesus asks us, “But what did you learn? Did you eat and drink in the company of the hungry, the homeless, the naked, the oppressed, the diseased? Do they know where you are from?” If people in need in our world know where we are from, Jesus will know where we are from. He will recognize us right away. He will be anxiously waiting for us to enter into his presence. Jesus is very clear: “People will come from the east and the west and from the north and the south and will recline at the table in the
