MASS • COMMUNION

In the Gospel today we find Jesus at the last supper with his disciples. Knowing that he will soon be making the ultimate sacrifice of love, laying down his life, he gives them a new commandment, “Love one another.” In this moment Jesus knows that the work of the disciples is about to become much more difficult. No longer will they be seen as followers of Jesus because they are literally following him around, they will need another unifying sign and Jesus says that this will be their love for one another. “As I have loved you, so also should you love one another.” How does Jesus love us? Jesus’ very presence was and is love, he loved us not only in his death, but also in every moment of his life on earth, and he continues to love us with his presence as he promised, in the community of the faithful, in the Word of God, and in the Eucharist. While the commandment to love is simple, it is not necessarily easy. In the formation of the early church there was dissent and controversy: as the followers of Jesus began to form communities and share the Good News with others there was more than a little strife among various factions. Indeed, the entire history of the Church, to the modern day, is full of its share of in fighting and partisanship. But the proof of our discipleship is not how right, or how righteous we are, it is how we love one another, within our families, within our Church family, in our communities and in the world. How do you show love to those closest to you? How can we make our parish community more loving, so that we will be known as followers of Jesus by our love?

First Reading — Paul and Barnabas reported how God had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles (Acts 14:21-27). Psalm — I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God (Psalm 145). Second Reading — God’s dwelling is with the human race (Revelation 21:1-5a). Gospel — This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:31-33a, 34-35).

LITURGY VAULT “The liturgy is celebrated for God and not for ourselves;

it is His work; He is the subject; and we must open ourselves to Him”

(Pope Benedict XVI, 3 October 2012).

THE ORDER OF MASS: THE COLLECT – PART 1

After the Glória, or the Kýrie, follows the Collect, which concludes the Introductory Rites of the Mass.

“Next the priest invites the people to pray. All, together with the priest, observe a brief silence so that they may be conscious of the fact that they are in God’s presence and may formulate their petitions mentally. Then the priest says the prayer which is customarily known as the collect and through which the character of the celebration is expressed. In accordance with the ancient tradition of the Church, the collect prayer is usually addressed to God the Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, and is concluded with a trinitarian ending… The people, uniting themselves to this entreaty, make the prayer their own with the acclamation, Amen” (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, n. 54).

Formerly (and briefly) known as the “Opening Prayer”, the Collect is “the principal prayer, that is, the peculiar prayer of the day or of the feast” (Rev. Dr. Nicholas Gihr, The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (1902), p. 407).

“Like the Mass prayers in general, this prayer… is not merely a private prayer of the priest, but a liturgical one, that is, a public prayer which the celebrant recites in the name and by the commission, as well as according to the ordinance of the Church, and with a special intention for the welfare of the whole Christian people” (Rev. Dr. Nicholas Gihr, The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (1902), p. 409).

The celebrant invites the congregation to pray by saying “Let us pray” (Latin: Orémus). This is an invitation to pray together “in common”, which the celebrant directs both to himself and to all those present. This is the moment when we “collect” all our individual prayers into one.

“As a collective prayer, the Collect is still considered under another aspect. It is considered, namely, as a prayer which in comprehensive brevity (compendiosa brevitate) embodies the most important petitions, that is, the sum or idea of all that we, in consideration of the day’s celebration, especially seek to obtain from God” (Rev. Dr. Nicholas Gihr, The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (1902), p. 409-410).

“The content and structure of the oration is unvarying. It begins with an address or invocation to the Father, followed by praise of Him or reference to some Divine attribute or act as reason for the prayer; the petition, short, simple, and definite, usually supported by a motive, is of general nature since each individual has already formulated a particular petition during the previous silence.

“The concluding doxology offers the prayer to the Father through the priestly mediation of His Son and in unity with the Holy Spirit. The congregation’s assent is voiced with the ‘Amen’ to the prayer spoken by the celebrant in their name. The word is a Biblical affirmation, meaning ‘so may it be’, and signified ratification and acceptance” (Rev. Jovian P. Lang, OFM, Dictionary of the Liturgy (1989), p. 467).

La Palma Crosses

The pine forest town of La Palma in El Salvador, is prized for the beauty of its mountains and the craftsmanship of its local artisans. Colorful scenes include depictions of the town's natural landscape mountains, trees, animals, and houses as well as community participation in traditional activities and festivals.

We care about the environment, and protect the forest, so most of La Palma items are fashioned out of recycled wood and cardboard.

The distinctive style of La Palma's unique crafts is the result of a collaboration of skilled carpenters, designers and painters.

Jane Stanford Did you know that the Carmel Mission has a connection to Stanford University? Well, it is a little indirect but thanks to the two people who established Stanford University in memory of their son, we received substantial support for the restoration of the Mission.

Leland and Jane Lathrop Stanford founded Stanford University in 1887. Stanford had been the 8th Governor of California and a US Senator (1885-1893) in addition to his significant business success. He was a director and major stockholder of the fabled Del Monte Hotel in Monterey. It heralded the beginning of the Monterey Peninsula as a tourist destination. During this period, Jane Stanford was active in promoting and supporting the restoration and history of the Carmel Mission.

The Mission was in a state of abject despair and ruin: time and weather had dissolved the old adobe walls and the stone church had been stripped of its roof tile. The supporting timbers had collapsed but the 5 foot thick stone walls survived and remained intact. The Mission was an administrative “dependency” of San Carlos Cathedral in Monterey, and its pastor, Fr. Angelo Casanova, was dedicated to restoring the Mission. Fr. Casanova initiated a campaign to place a new roof on the Mission to keep it from deteriorating further. Mrs. Stanford had formed a friendship with Fr. Casanova, was deeply interested in his work and was a major contributor to that effort.

Between 1880 and 1884 sufficient funds were raised to put new roof on the church. On August 24, 1884 a dedication ceremony was held which marked not only the new roof but also the first major step in the renaissance of the Mission. Symbolically, but also sadly, this celebration took place 100 years after the death of Junipero Serra and 5 months after the death of her son, Leland Stanford, Jr.

Jane Stanford maintained her connections with Fr. Casanova, her interest in the history of the Mission and its important place in California history. She commissioned the design and construction of a statue of Fr. Serra which is now located within the grounds of the Presidio.

This insight into the Mission history was provided by the Carmel Mission Docent Association. If you would like to find out more about becoming a Docent, please contact Nancy Hardy at [email protected] or 831-624-8846.

Dear Friends of Carmel Mission,

During the month of May, we Catholics reflect on the significant role that a young Palestinian girl played in the history of Salvation. While still in her teens, Mary was asked by the Angel Gabriel to consent to give birth to the Son of God.

Her “fiat”, her assent, her words: “Let it be done to me according to your word”, opened the way for the Son of God to come among us, and thereby gave us the greatest insight into the nature of God, until we see Him face to face.

Earlier this month, I was given the gift of a pilgrimage to the Marian Shrine of Lourdes, France, led by the Knights of Malta. Lourdes is a very special place for me and each time I visit the Grotto of Massabielle, my faith is strengthened. I first went there on pilgrimage when I was still in High School in Dublin, Ireland.

The purpose of that first pilgrimage was to pray for vocations to the priesthood. I was never the same after leaving Lourdes, in that the call to priesthood became fixed in my mind, and, despite my many efforts to dislodge it, and focus on other secular career paths, I could no longer escape it. I felt the call to say Yes to God.

Lourdes is a place where I feel closer to God. Despite the rather crass commercialism of the town itself, there is something sacred about a visit to the Grotto at night, when most pilgrims have retired for the evening. Mary, under the title of Our Lady of Lourdes, always has a message for me, as I pray at the very place where she appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.

With hundreds of candles flickering in the night, and the sound of the River Gave in the background, she gently whispers to me: Keep on saying Yes! Despite my doubts, my discomfort, my disappointment about what has been happening in our Catholic Church, I find that my faith has been fortified and I am up for the next challenge. I am never the same after a visit to Lourdes.

But just don’t take my word for it. Ask any pilgrim who has been to Lourdes and they will tell you that in that sacred place, healings happen and hope is restored.

You were with me in Lourdes, in my thoughts, in my prayers, in the intentions that some of you gave me to place at the Grotto. You were in my heart, as Mary reminded me that each of you reveals a different aspect of God’s love for His people.

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

Saint Bernadette, pray for us.

Fr. Paul
