Si lent & ReverentPrayer vs. Welcomingbef ore Mass St ar t s!

Years ago the cus-tom upon entering thechurch building beforeMass began was to recog-nize the presence of Godin the Blessed Sacramentin the Tabernacle and tospend time in silent prayerto prepare us for the sacredmysteries we were to cele-brate in the Eucharist.

Another spiritual value

that grew out of the SecondVatican Council was to havea Welcoming Spirit tothose who arrived to worshiptogether and to share thewarmth of the presence ofGods Family together in theHouse of God.

These two customs cansometimes create a tension

SOME THOUGHTS ON WORSHIPALGUNOS PENSAMIENTOS SOBRE LA ADORACIN


2/11

for those who seek to worship togetherbut ap-proach worship from two sides.

Perhaps there is a solution in the middleground that can best help us who worship withtwo different expressions of Gods Love. Hereat St. John the Baptist we are blessed with twoworship spaces. Perhaps for those who arrive

early our Chapel (Old Church) could be a spacewhere we try to have an atmosphere of rever-ence and prayer. There is usually soft medita-tive music that is played there during theweekend services. For those of us who enter inthat space we might try to be quietly aware of those who have stopped to pray.

We have a wonderful space in the Narthex of the Big Church building where Ministers ofHospitality are there to greet those who enter. This is a very fitting and welcoming gesturethat sometimes has special meaning to those who are visiting St. Johns or are new to our par-ish community or who have been away from the Church for some reason and find that warmthto be the touch that they need to feel that God loves them, that we as a Christian Community

do care for them and that they feel drawn back to us and the beauty of the Mass. Even if weare not a Minister of Hospitality we are all called to share the warmth of the Risen Christ withothers who worship with us. It is a wonderful gesture of Gods love to make an attempt eachweekend to greet someone we have not previously met in church, especially someone we havenot seen before to make us The House Where All Ar e Welcome.We are all called to helpmake our parish a vibrant Parish Community to foster a sense of Hospitality in all that we do.There is always an opportunity to do more. The mission for all of us is to be Ministers of Hospi-tality, to extend a genuine and warm welcome to all who visit the community, t o reach outin dedicated serv i ce wi t h a welcoming spir i t of inc lusion t o al l of our br ot her s and sister sin Chri st .It has become our parish custom to welcome all newcomers, and visitors are askedto stand and be recognized at the beginning of each mass.

And what of the body of the Big Church where we do gather for Mass? Well, if conversa-tion does continue into this Worship Space we might try to be aware of those who are presentin prayer, preparing themselves for Mass, and if we feel we need to, to speak with a low, a softvoice as to not to distract others present.

Here, too, it is good to remember that arriving early and bringing us to that Calm Spacewithin our Hearts is also important. Some parents find this a good time to teach small childrento begin to learn to Center Themselves in Prayer before Mass begins, to help them and us toseek the Gift of the Piety, or Reverence, that is one of the gifts given to us in Confirmation.

St. Teresa of Avila (by the way, the stained glass window above the south front door in theChapel is of St. Teresa) had such a deep prayer life that she could go into a church buildingwhere there was great commotion and tune them out in prayer. Yet few of us have attainedthis depth of prayer, especially our children.

One nun used to give children a spiritual tool to calm them down upon entering church ofkneeling down and saying in silence the APOSTLES CREED. It both helped to calm them and toteach them this FIRST of the Churchs CREEDs, and the CREED that is prayed at the beginning ofthe Rosary. (If you wish to embrace this practice you can find the APOSTLES CREED on the second pageof our parish hymnals.) Another nun would have her children kneel down in silence and examinetheir consciences and then in silence say an ACT of CONTRITION, helping to prepare them forthe PENETENTIAL RITE of the Mass. Could these be tools of preparation for Mass for Adults?

tensin para los que buscan adorar juntos, pero acercarse a la adoracin de estas dos tradiciones.

Tal vez hay una solucin en el punto medio que mejor nos que adoran a dos expresiones di-ferentes del Amor de Dios puede ayudar. Aqu en San Juan Bautista hemos sido bendecidos condos espacios de culto. Quizs para los que llegan temprano a nuestra Capilla (Iglesia Vieja) podr-a ser un espacio en el que tratamos de tener un ambiente de reverencia y oracin. Por lo ge-neral, la msica meditativa suave que se toc all durante los servicios de fin de semana. Paraaquellos de nosotros que entrar en ese espacio que podramos tratar de ser en silencio tanto de

aquellos que han dejado de orar.Tenemos un espacio maravilloso en el Atrio del edificio de la Iglesia Grande, donde los Mi-

nistros de Hospitalidad estn ah para saludar a los que entran. Este es un gesto muy apropia-do y acogedor que a veces tiene un significado especial para aquellos que visitan San Juan Bau-tista o son nuevos en nuestra comunidad parroquial o que han estado alejados de la Iglesia poralguna razn y encontrar esta ternura a ser el toque que necesitan sentir que Dios los ama, quenosotros, como comunidad cristiana preocupamos por ellos y que se sienten atrados de nuevoa nosotros y la belleza de la Misa Incluso si no estamos un Ministro de la Hospitalidad que todosestamos llamados a compartir el la ternura de Cristo Resucitado con otros que adoran con no-sotros. Es un maravilloso gesto de amor de Dios para hacer un intento cada fin de semana parasaludar a alguien que no hemos conocido antes en la iglesia, en particular con alguien que no

hemos visto antes para hacernos "La Casa donde T odos son Bienv enidos."Todos estamos lla-mados a ayudar a hacer de nuestra parroquia una comunidad parroquial vibrante a fomentar unsentido de la hospitalidad en todo lo que hacemos. Siempre hay una oportunidad de hacer ms.La misin de todos nosotros es ser Ministros de Hospitalidad, para extender una genuina y cli-da bienvenida a todos los que visitan la comunidad, par a al czar en el serv ici o dedicado conun espr it u acogedor de i nclusin a t odos nuest r os hermanos y hermanas en Cr ist o."se haconvertido en nuestra costumbre parroquial para dar la bienvenida a todos los recin llegados yse les pide a los visitantes a ponerse de pie y ser reconocidos en el comienzo de cada misa.

Y qu hay dentro de la Gran Iglesia donde nos reunimos para la Misa? Pues si la conver-sacin no continuar en este espacio de adoracin que podramos tratar de ser consciente de los

que estn presentes en la oracin, preparndose para la Misa, y si sentimos que necesitamos,para hablar con una voz suave y baja que no distraer a los dems presentes.

Es bueno recordar que llegar temprano y nos trae a ese "Espacio Tranquilo dentro de nues-tros corazones" tambin es importante. Algunos padres encuentran un buen momento para en-sear a los nios pequeos comienzan a aprender a "Centrar de s mismos en la oracin" antesde la Misa, para ayudarles ellos y nosotros a buscar el don de la piedad, o reverencia, que esuno de los dones dados a nosotros en la Confirmacin.

Santa Teresa de vila (por cierto la vidriera sobre la puerta de entrada al sur de la capilla es deSanta Teresa) tena una vida de oracin tan profunda que poda entrar en un edificio de la igle-sia, donde haba un gran alboroto y tranquilamente ignorar todo distraccin, mientras que enla oracin. Sin embargo, pocos de nosotros hemos alcanzado esta profundidad de la oracin,sobre todo a nuestros hijos.

Una monja le gustaba dar a los nios un instrumento espiritual para calmarlos al entrar enla iglesia de rodillas y decir en silencio el "'CREDO de los APSTOLES". Es ambos ayud a cal-mar a ellos y ensearles esto PRIMERO de los CREDOS de la Iglesia. (Si desea abrazar esta

prctica se puede encontrar CREDO de los APSTOLES en la segunda pgina de nuestros himna-rios parroquiales.) Otra monja tendra sus hijos se arrodillan en silencio y examinar sus con-ciencias y luego en silencio y decir "acto de contricin" , lo que ayuda a prepararlos para el AC-TO de CONTRICIN de la Misa. Podran ser estas instrumentos de preparacin de la masa paralos adultos?
