LIVING THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK
The flesh is our old self of yesterday and the one we left behind in baptism. It is the self of doubts and fears, sin and error, reluctance, untamed passion, and errors in judgment. It is also the self of missed opportunities and roads untraveled. Although we were baptized many years ago, every day is another day to live, not according to the flesh of yesterday with its regrets and misgivings, but rather to live the life of the spirit of today and tomorrow.
The burdens of our personal baggage and of life itself can weigh us down. The love of Jesus Christ and the life of the spirit can pick us up, refresh us, and provide us with the hope for new opportunities and discoveries. Because we have been baptized in Christ, we need not be anxious about what we did or did not do yesterday or anxious about what will come tomorrow. We need only to seek out the love that is before us, around us, and in us and learn.
Today is your day to paint life in bold colors;
set today's rhythm with your heart-drum;
walk today's march with courage;
create today as your celebration of life.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
ENCOURAGING WORDS FOR THE WEEK
14th
Sunday In Ordinary Time - St Thomas Parish 5
WHY DO WE DO THAT?
Catholic Life Explained
Question:
Why do priests kiss the altar
at the start of Mass?
Answer:
Our churches and chapels are filled with
symbols. We might think of the more
common symbols (like the crucifix,
statues, stained-glass windows, vestment
color and altar cloths) as well as major
symbols (such as the paschal candle and
the baptismal font). But there are some
things that we can take for granted in our
sacred spaces, because unfortunately, they
seem to just be part of the building,
including three of the main symbols of our
liturgy: the ambo (lectern), the chair for
the priest celebrant, and the altar.
These three objects are placed in a
specially designated area called the
sanctuary. They are the places where the
Word of God is proclaimed, where the
priest prays and presides at the
celebration, and where the bread and wine
are offered by the priest during the
Eucharistic Prayer. Although each of these
objects is sacred because of the role they
play in our worship, the altar holds a
special place. In a document containing
the rules and instructions for the Mass —
the ―General Instruction of the Roman
Missal‖ — we read: ―The altar on which
the Sacrifice of the Cross is made present
under sacramental signs is also the table of
the Lord to which the People of God is
called together to participate in the Mass,
as well as the center of the thanksgiving
that is accomplished throughout the
Eucharist‖ (no. 296).
One of the ways that we recognize the
importance of the altar is when the priest
and deacon kiss the altar at the beginning
of Mass. Kissing is an ancient act of
devotion. Remember, we also kiss the
cross on Good Friday, and the deacon or
priest kisses the ―Book of the Gospels‖
after the Gospel is proclaimed. This act of
devotion reminds us that the altar is a
symbol of Jesus, the ―living stone‖ (see 1
Peter 2:4), the foundation stone of our
faith. It is a symbol gesture, but it is a
powerful reminder of the One on whom
our faith is built and in whose name we
gather as the ―household of faith‖ (see
Galatians 6:10).

PRAY & REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS
Peace & Healing
Great God, who has told us "Vengeance is mine," save us from ourselves, save us from the vengeance in our hearts
and the acid in our souls.
Save us from our desire to hurt as we have been hurt, to punish as we have been punished, to terrorize as we have been terrorized.
Give us the strength it takes to listen rather than to judge, to trust rather than to fear, to try again and again to make peace even when peace eludes us.
We ask, O God, for the grace to be our best selves. We ask for the vision to be builders of the human community rather than its destroyers. We ask for the humility as a people
to understand the fears and hopes of other peoples.
We ask for the love it takes to bequeath to the children of the world to come more than the failures of our own making. We ask for the heart it takes
to care for all the peoples of this world as well as for ourselves.
Give us the depth of soul, O God, to constrain our might, to resist the temptations of power to refuse to attack the attackable, to understand that vengeance begets
violence, and to bring peace--not war--wherever we go.
For You, O God, have been merciful to us. For You, O God, have been patient with us. For You, O God, have been gracious to us.
And so may we be merciful and patient and gracious and trusting with these others whom you also love.
This we ask through Jesus, the one without vengeance in his heart. This we ask forever and ever.
- Amen
