Celebrating the Priesthood and the Gift of the Eucharist

Next weekend is a big day for our Archdiocese and for our two parishes. Of the five men to be ordained priests, we have had the joy and honor of walking with two of them along the road of their vocation: Deacon Dan Zinger and Deacon Denis Nakkeeran. Ordination. I invite and encourage you to come and pray with them and with one another in ways that we can. On next Saturday, August 1, at 10 AM, Cardi-nal Sean O'Malley will ordain them in the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Because space is limited by covid regulations the ordination is not open to the public but it will be televised on CatholicTV which is on cable channel 268 You can watch this at home or you can join us at Saint John's. There we will be to-gether in a spirit of joy and prayer watching the ordi-nation on our big screen, and in air-conditioned comfort! Doors will open at 9:30 AM. First Masses. We invite you to the first Masses which Father Dan and Father Denis will celebrate the next day. On Sunday, August 2, Father Dan Zinger will cele-brate his first Mass at Saint Thomas at 12 PM noon. This will be a bilingual Mass for all in the American and Brazilian communities. Following the Mass Fa-ther Dan will offer his first blessing to those who come in the area outside the church. If you would like to join us please go to our website to sign up. This is important because of the limited space. Father Denis Nakkeeran will offer his first Mass on Sunday afternoon at 3:00 PM at Saint John's Church, followed by a reception in Mary's park where he will give his first priestly blessing. Again it is important for you to sign up on our website so we can plan ac-cordingly. On the following weekend, our new priests will switch churches and Father Denis will celebrate the 10 AM Mass at Saint Thomas and Father Dan will offer the 10 AM Mass at Saint John's.

The Gift of the Eucharist. We are more than ever aware of the need for priestly vocations. We recently began a special Year of the Eucharist in the middle of a pandemic which separated us from the Lord and from one another when we could not celebrate Mass together. Without priests there can be no Eucharist and without people we were not able to give the Lord all the glory and honor of participating as a communi-ty in the great mystery of the death and resurrection of his Son in this holy sacramental sacrifice of the altar. Over the next several weeks I will be continuing my series of reflections: Eucharist: Holy Food for Holy People. These articles will focus a lot on the celebra-tion of the Eucharist, the Mass, where we encounter the risen Lord in every way that he comes to us: in the people gathered, in the priest presiding, in the scrip-tures proclaimed and preached, and in the Eucharistic prayer and communion when Jesus offers himself to the Father and then to us as our Bread of Life. Over fifty years have passed since the bishops of the whole world met under the leadership of two saints, John XXIII and Paul VI to guide our church to meet the challenges of our modern world. The first major document that came from Second Vatican Council was the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, from which emerged the Mass in the form we know it to-day. Understanding how we celebrate the Eucharist and why is a key to entering more deeply and fruitful-ly into the mystery of the Eucharist and to making it the source and summit of our Catholic life which it must be. In today's bulletin is a very fine article, The Gift of the Liturgical Reform, (see pg.10) about the reforms of the liturgy that came about after the Council. I have asked permission of the author, Mary Healy, to re-print it and she very graciously agreed. Many of the changes in the Mass that were made were not well explained or introduced in some parishes, resulting in anger and rejection on the part of some and poor im-plementation on the part of others. In places today liturgy has become a battleground instead of the place where we find unity, strength and hope. Please take time to read the installments of this article. May it stimulate a healthy, positive grasp of what God is do-ing when we gather at Mass. God bless. Fr. John

Celebrando el Sacerdocio y el Don de la Eucaristía

El próximo fin de semana es un gran día para nuestra Arquidiócesis y para nuestras dos parroquias. De los cin-co hombres que serán ordenados sacerdotes, hemos te-nido la alegría y el honor de caminar con dos de ellos por el camino de su vocación: el diácono Dan Zinger y el diácono Denis Nakkeeran. Ordenación. Los invito y animo a que vengan a rezar con ellos y entre ellos de la manera que podamos. El próximo sábado 1 de agosto, a las 10 a.m., el cardenal Sean O'Malley los ordenará en la Catedral de la Santa Cruz. Debido a que el espacio está limitado por las nor-mas del COVID, la ordenación no está abierta al públi-co, pero será televisada en CatholicTV, que está en el canal de cable 268. Puedes ver esto en casa o puedes unirte a nosotros en San Juan Bautista. ¡Allí estaremos juntos en un espíritu de alegría y oración observando la ordenación en nuestra pantalla grande, y en la co-modidad con aire acondicionado! Las puertas se abrirán a las 9:30 a.m. Primeras misas. Te invitamos a las primeras misas que el padre Dan y el padre Denis celebrarán al día siguiente. El domingo 2 de agosto, el Padre Dan Zinger celebrará su primera misa en Saint Thomas a las 12 del mediodía. Esta será una misa bilingüe para todos en las comuni-dades estadounidense y brasileña. Después de la misa, el padre Dan ofrecerá su primera bendición a quienes vengan al área fuera de la iglesia. Si desea unirse a no-sotros, visite nuestro sitio web para registrarse. Esto es importante debido al espacio limitado. El Padre Denis Nakkeeran ofrecerá su primera misa el domingo por la tarde a las 3:00 PM en la iglesia de San Juan, seguida de una recepción en el parque de Maria donde dará su primera bendición sacerdotal. Nuevamen-te, es importante que se registre en nuestro sitio web pa-ra que podamos planificar en adecuadamente. El siguiente fin de semana, nuestros nuevos sacerdotes cambiarán de iglesia y el Padre Denis celebrará la Misa de las 10 AM en Santo Tomas y el Padre Dan ofrecerá la Misa de las 10 AM en San Juan el Bautista

El Don de la Eucaristía. Somos más conscientes que nunca de la necesidad de vocaciones sacerdotales. Recientemente comenzamos un Año especial de la Eu-caristía en medio de una pandemia que nos separó del Señor y de los demás cuando no podíamos celebrar la Misa juntos. Sin sacerdotes no puede haber Eucaristía y sin personas no pudimos darle al Señor toda la gloria y el honor de participar como comunidad en el gran mis-terio de la muerte y resurrección de su Hijo en este sa-grado sacrificio sacramental del altar Durante las próximas semanas continuaré mi serie de reflexiones: Eucaristía: comida sagrada para la gente santa. Estos artículos se centrarán mucho en la cele-bración de la Eucaristía, la Misa, donde nos encontra-mos con el Señor resucitado en todas las formas en que viene a nosotros: en las personas reunidas, en el sacer-dote que preside, en las escrituras proclamadas y predi-cadas, y en La oración eucarística y la comunión cuan-do Jesús se ofrece al Padre y luego a nosotros como nuestro Pan de Vida. Han pasado más de cincuenta años desde que los obispos de todo el mundo se reunieron bajo el liderazgo de dos santos, Juan XXIII y Pablo VI para guiar a nues-tra iglesia a enfrentar los desafíos de nuestro mundo moderno. El primer documento importante que vino del Concilio Vaticano II fue la Constitución sobre la Sagra-da Liturgia, de la cual surgió la Misa tal como la cono-cemos hoy. Comprender cómo celebramos la Eucaristía y por qué es clave para entrar de manera más profunda y fructífera en el misterio de la Eucaristía y convertirla en la fuente y cumbre de nuestra vida católica que debe ser. En el boletín de hoy hay un artículo muy bueno, El Don de la reforma litúrgica, sobre las reformas de la liturgia que surgieron después del Concilio. Le pedí permiso a la autora, Mary Healy, para reimprimirlo y ella estuvo muy de acuerdo. Muchos de los cambios en la Misa que se hicieron no fueron bien explicados o introducidos en algunas parroquias, lo que provocó enojo y rechazo por parte de algunos y una implementación deficiente por parte de otros. En los lugares hoy, la liturgia se ha con-vertido en un campo de batalla en lugar del lugar donde encontramos la unidad, la fuerza y la esperanza. Tómese el tiempo para leer las entregas de este artículo. Que estimule una comprensión sana y positiva de lo que Dios está haciendo cuando nos reunimos en la misa. Dios los bendiga. . Padre John

O dom da eucaristia. Estamos mais do que nunca conscientes da necessidade de vocações sacerdotais. Recentemente, começamos um ano especial da Eu-caristia no meio de uma pandemia que nos separou do Senhor e uns dos outros quando não podíamos cele-brar a missa juntos. Sem padres não pode haver Eu-caristia e sem pessoas, não fomos capazes de dar ao Senhor toda a glória e honra de participar como co-munidade no grande mistério da morte e ressurreição de seu Filho neste santo sacramento sacramental do altar. Nas próximas semanas, continuarei minha série de reflexões: Eucaristia: Alimento Santo para os Santos. Esses artigos se concentrarão muito na celebração da Eucaristia, a Missa, onde encontraremos o Senhor res-surreto de todas as formas que ele vier a nós: nas pes-soas reunidas, no sacerdote que preside, nas escrituras proclamadas e pregadas, e em a oração e a comunhão eucarística quando Jesus se oferece ao Pai e depois a nós como nosso Pão da Vida. Mais de cinquenta anos se passaram desde que o mun-do inteiro dos bispos se reuniu sob a liderança de dois santos, João XXIII e Paulo VI, para guiar nossa igreja a enfrentar os desafios do mundo moderno. O primeiro documento importante que veio do Concílio Vaticano II foi a Constituição sobre a Sagrada Liturgia, da qual emergiu a Missa da forma que a conhecemos hoje. Compreender como celebramos a Eucaristia e por que é a chave para entrar mais profundamente e frutuosa-mente no mistério da Eucaristia e torná-la a fonte e o cume da nossa vida católica que deve ser. No boletim de hoje, há um artigo muito bom, O presente da reforma litúrgica, sobre as reformas da liturgia que ocorreram após o Concílio. Pedi permis-são à autora, Mary Healy, para reimprimi-la e ela con-cordou muito gentilmente. Muitas das mudanças na Missa que foram feitas não foram bem explicadas ou introduzidas em algumas paróquias, resultando em raiva e rejeição por parte de alguns e má imple-mentação por parte de outros. Hoje, em alguns lugares, a liturgia se tornou um campo de batalha em vez do lugar onde encontramos unidade, força e es-perança. Reserve um tempo para ler as parcelas deste artigo. Que estimule uma compreensão saudável e positiva do que Deus está fazendo quando nos reuni-mos na Missa. Deus abençoe. Pe. John

Celebrando o Sacerdócio e o dom da Eucaristia

O próximo fim de semana é um grande dia para nossa arquidiocese e para nossas duas paróquias. Dos cinco homens a serem ordenados sacerdotes, tivemos a alegria e a honra de caminhar com dois deles no caminho de sua vocação: o diácono Dan Zinger e o diácono Denis Nakkeeran. Ordenação. Convido e encorajo você a orar com eles e uns com os outros da maneira que pudermos. No próximo sábado, 1º de agosto, às 10 horas, o cardeal Sean O'Malley os ordenará na Catedral da Santa Cruz. Como o espaço é limitado por regulamentos do Covid19 , a ordenação não é aberta ao público, mas será televisionada na TV Católica, que fica no canal a cabo 268. Você pode assistir em casa ou se juntar a nós na Saint John's. Lá estaremos juntos em um es-pírito de alegria e oração, assistindo a ordenação em nossa tela grande e com conforto com ar condiciona-do! As portas serão abertas às 9:30 da manhã . Primeiras missas. Convidamos você para as primeiras missas que o padre Dan e o padre Denis celebrarão no dia seguinte. No domingo, 2 de agosto, o padre Dan Zinger cele-brará sua primeira missa na paróquia São Thomas, às 12 horas. Será uma missa bilíngue para todos nas co-munidades americana e brasileira. Após a missa, o padre Dan oferecerá sua primeira bênção àqueles que vierem à área fora da igreja. Se você deseja se juntar a nós, visite nosso site para se inscrever. Isso é im-portante por causa do espaço limitado. O padre Denis Nakkeeran fará sua primeira missa no domingo à tarde, às 15 horas, na igreja de Saint John, seguida de uma recepção no parque de Mary, onde ele dará sua primeira bênção sacerdotal. Nova-mente, é importante que você se inscreva em nosso site para que possamos planejar adequadamente.

The Gardener of God This film tells the inspiring story of Gregor Mendel (1822 - 1884),

who is considered the father of modern genetics, a science that changed the world. He was a Catholic priest and Augustinian monk who lived in the

nineteenth century in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Starring Christopher Lambert as Mendel, the movie reveals how he combined his vocation as a priest and training as a scientist to impact the world by courageously following his passion for the truth. From the beginning he realized that his great scientific discovery could be used in a wrong way, and he sought the help of a benefactor and friend, the princess Hanna von Limburg, who supported him in his work and vocation, and helped spread the knowledge of his discovery

around the world. Mendel was a man of contemplation and of action, a dedicated priest and visionary scientist who is an important witness for contemporary society on how faith and science are not in conflict with each other.

The Gift of the Liturgical Reform MARY HEALY

“Now that a half-century has passed, the time is ripe for a calm, charitable,

and theologically substantive discussion about the liturgical reforms."

Fifty years ago this Advent, on November 30, 1969, the reform of the Eucharistic liturgy called for by Vatican Council II and prom-ulgated by Pope Paul VI went into effect, and Catholics around the world celebrated Mass for the first time in a form very different from what they had known.

Much has happened since then. The decades of ecclesial tumult and chaos following Vatican Council II were followed by a period of relative stabilization during the pontificates of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, then by a return of confusion and polarization dur-ing the present pontificate. Meanwhile, the western world has witnessed a precipitous decline in practice of the faith, even as the Church grows rapidly in Africa and other parts of the developing world.

Western culture, having banished God to the margins, has become a culture increasingly marked by an absence of the sacred — a culture of superficiality, of banality, of perpetual noise and stimulation, of relentless focus on the body and material things. It is a disenchanted world that has left many people, especially the young, with an intense longing for beauty and transcendence. The ab-sence of the sacred has crept into Church as well. Many Catholics have been distressed by the experience of liturgical abuses and irreverent, bland liturgies where few people — or even the celebrant — seemed aware of the sacred mystery in which they were participating. Last summer’s Pew survey, showing that less than two-thirds of Catholics who attend Mass weekly believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, is one more sobering sign of a crisis in the faith.

One way the thirst for the sacred is being expressed is in a groundswell of enthusiasm for the Extraordinary Form of the Mass (also called the Tridentine Mass, or the Mass celebrated in accordance with the 1962 Missal of St. John XXIII), the liturgy as it existed prior to the reforms of Vatican II. Those who are drawn to the Extraordinary Form speak of its beauty, its aura of mystery, and its connection to centuries of tradition.

In some quarters, the extolling of the older usage is unfortunately accompanied by a denigration of the reformed liturgy and even a vilification of Vatican II itself. Now that a half-century has passed, the time is ripe for a calm, charitable, and theologically substan-tive discussion about the liturgical reforms.

It has become common to blame today’s lack of Eucharistic faith and fervor on the revised rite. Critics rightly point to certain weak-nesses such as collects that are less expressive of God’s majesty, and the omission of important biblical texts from the lectionary. Another unfortunate change is the elimination of the Octave of Pentecost, giving the impression of downgrading the great solemnity that culminates the Easter season. The primary problem, however, is not the reformed rite itself but its flawed implementation, due to poor — and, in some cases, catastrophically defective — theological and spiritual preparation among clergy and laity alike. Too often, the liturgical changes were accompanied by a downplaying of the notion of sacredness. A casual attitude toward the liturgy was fostered, and beautiful churches were “wreckovated.” Lukewarm liturgy has, tragically, obscured the authentic renewal called for by the Council itself.

The Council’s mandate for liturgical reform sprang from a great renewal in biblical, patristic, and liturgical theology that took place in the early twentieth century. The goal was ressourcement: to revitalize the life of the Church by drinking deeply from the wells of Scripture and Tradition, which would in turn better enable the Church to proclaim the Gospel anew to the modern world. As Pope John Paul II and other participants attested, the Council was an experience of a “new Pentecost” in which the breath of the Holy Spirit blew through the Church, leading her to rediscover the treasures of her ancient heritage.

The revised liturgy is the fruit of that renewal. It is in some respects closer to the liturgy as celebrated in the first millennium than is the Tridentine Mass. It is the Ordinary Form of the Mass in the Latin Rite given to the faithful by the Church, the form in which more than 95 percent of Roman Catholics celebrate Mass today. A greater appreciation for what the Council did, and why, can help Catholics deepen their love for the gift of the Mass and, in the words of John Paul II, “rekindle Eucharistic amazement.”

If you missed the FINAL

talk in the 5 part series

to begin The Year of the Eucharist With Seminarian Joe Ferme

Visit our Facebook page to watch the video. here are some highlights from Joe’s talk. Thank You and Enjoy!

"In other words, Jesus promises this Divine Indwelling at the same time when He

institutes the gift of the Eucharist and the Apostles themselves receive their First Communion. There’s a connection.”

“Action follows being, and our being re-created, as it were, by grace such that

we participate in the very life of God, enables us to then act like God, and

by grace we grow in that likeness.”

“The presence of such consolations when they come point us to the invisible reality that takes

place. We’ve grown in grace and charity, but the real grandeur is that God dwells in us, and that

Holy Communion has intensified this dwelling.”

“St. Elizabeth of the Trinity knew that God was dwelling within her, and not in some vague way. It is true that we

speak about God being omnipresent – that is, everywhere. But this is not

what cap vated Saint Elizabeth so intensely.

Rather, it is the fact that the Trinity can dwell in the

ra onal creature – in us – in a special way.”

“Being in a state of grace means that we possess sanctifying grace, which is our

share in the divine life. Thus, when we do not have this sanctifying grace due to mortal sin, we no longer share in the

divine life. Hence the name mortal sin. No sanctifying grace, no supernatural charity, no Divine Indwelling.

This is the tragedy of sin.”

“God became man, so that man might become God. Our becoming God, so to speak, consists in this

sharing in His life, even now on earth, by grace, by which we know and love Him. Heaven is less a prize that we

receive at the end of our life for being good, and is much more a continua-tion and ful llment of the way that we lived our life on earth. We know and love God here below, and that is brought to completion in Heaven.”

Presents St. Elizabeth of the Trinity & the Divine Indwelling

St. Elizabeth of the Trinity is the most recently canonized Carmelite saint. This vivacious young French woman, marked

with profound spiritual depth, entered Carmel at age 21 and died a short five years later. Her life and writings speak of the

powerful mystery of God dwelling within our souls. In this episode, Fr. Michael-Joseph of St. Thérèse is joined by

Br. Joseph of the Holy Family to discuss St. Elizabeth's spiritual insights about this Divine Indwelling.

In her book, Eucharistic Miracles, author Joan Carroll Cruz documents 36

such miracles which occurred from 800 AD to the present day. Pictures and photo-

graphs of the miracles, the churches they took place in, and the people involved are also included, adding the final touch to a

comprehensive, detailed, and extraordinary overview of these miraculous happenings.

The Angelus

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord. R. Be it done unto me according to thy word. Hail, Mary…

V. And the Word was made flesh. R. And dwelt among us. Hail, Mary…

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

The Angelus prayer celebrates the awesome mystery of the Incarnation of Jesus. The Baltimore Catechism says, “God did not abandon man after Adam fell into sin, but promised to send into the world a Savior to free man from his sins and to reopen to him the gates of heaven…. By the Incarnation is meant that the Son of God, retaining His Divine nature, took to Himself a human nature; that is, a body and soul like ours.”

The prayer as we know it dates back to the 16th century, but during the Middle Ages, the custom of praying three Hail Mary's in a row goes back to at least the 12th century. At a meeting of Franciscans in 1279, St. Bonaventure suggested the praying of three Hail Mary's after Compline (Night Prayer) while meditating on Our Lord’s Incarnation, and the ringing of a bell before the prayers.

Especially in days past, this prayer was prayed at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m., and accompanied by the ring-ing of church bells. Per-haps you have seen the famous oil painting “The Angelus” by Jean Francois Millet (painted between 1857 and 1859). In this lovely painting, a couple working in a field pause, bow their heads, and pray the Angelus at the end of the day’s work.
