Have You Lost Someone You Love? Grief Support Workshop

Join us for a 6-week grief support workshop “Surviving Grief in the Holiday Season”. The death of a loved one is unlike any other. The holidays can be a particularly painful time when we are missing someone we love. Whether the death was sudden and tragic, or one with warning and preparation, the reality of death leaves most of us shocked, confused, and sad. These feelings may last for years. Grieving people need time and space to honor their grief. Your loss may be recent, or it may have been

From Fr. Dan, Administrator

Dear Friends,

We stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters in their anguish, and we condemn the atrocious shooting afflicted upon them in the synagogue in Pittsburgh. We further condemn all forms of anti-Semitism, and all prejudice. We pray for the victims, the wounded (including the police), and the family and friends of the victims.

Voting Day is this Tuesday. May the wisdom and love of God’s Holy Spirit guide our choices.

“Bishop Accountability” tops the agenda of the U.S. Catholic bishops meeting being held Tuesday, November 12 through Thursday, November 14. Much was achieved in the area of “Priest Accountability” by the U.S. bishops in 2002, but very little with regard to bishops. Let us pray that this 2018 meeting will achieve “Bishop Accountability,” both in terms of committing abuse and cover-ups of abusers. May the expertise of the Catholic laity play a huge role in the procedures envisioned. May the protection of minors and vulnerable adults be the number one priority!

Sharing Jesus: The most wonderful thing in my life is my personal relationship with Jesus, lived within

his family, the Church. I’m not going to let some abusive priests, or some bishops who covered up, steal away my relationship with Jesus and his family the Church. Nor will I let them take away my desire to share this with those I love.

Climate Change: “The Presidents of six continental Bishops’ Conferences have signed a document appealing to government leaders to take immediate action to tackle climate change, in an effort to avert catastrophic effects of the climate crisis. It’s not something which is far away: it is something that is now. Climate change is not about statistics, about degrees, it’s about people.” (Vatican News).

Sports: We are the Champions! Our beloved Red Sox won the World Series in five games! This is the fourth time in 15 years – that is spectacular! Alex Cora, Steve Pearce, David Price and so many more came through for the BoSox! Yippee! As I write this (Monday afternoon), I am confident the Pats will beat the Bills, and I think we will likely send Green Bay packing (get the pun?) tonight. Aaron Rodgers is good, but he is no Tom Brady! BC is ranked in the top 25. The Celts and Bruins are off to a decent start.

Love and God bless you! Fr. Dan

Thank You from Monsignor Dennis Sheehan

This is one of the rare moments when I find it hard to put my thoughts and feelings into words. So here goes! The celebration of my ordination anniversary and birthday you all organized, served, hosted and carried out was for me a singular expression of God's ever-moving grace. As I observed, most priests I know are not comfortable being the center of attention. Our customary role is to lead a celebration for someone else...baptism, wedding anniversary. Our greatest privilege is to lead the celebration weekly and daily of the Lord's Eucharist with all of our communities. While the celebration was at least partly about me, my 80th birthday and 55th year as a priest, it was also about you and the great part these parishes have played in my years.

As a child, I had family in Newton Centre and often went to "the Bishop's Mass" on Sundays at Sacred Heart. I first came to Our Lady's as a resident while serving an office assignment in 1990. So these communities are really for me at this stage my home and family. You certainly brought that home with your enthusiasm, generous sharing and prayerful good wishes a few weeks ago.

Thanks for all the decorating, cooking, arranging, rehearsing and preparation. I will be singing my grateful praises of you before the Lord for all the years that remain to me.

On to the next 80 or 55! Don't place limits on the providence of God!

With love and gratitude to you all now and always,

~ Msgr. Dennis Sheehan

The Mass for Millennials: Prayers after Communion “Stick-to-itiveness is one of the more inelegant words in the English language, but I have a special fondness for it …I have also found that it is one of the marks of Christian discipleship and have learned to admire those who exemplify it.” (Eugene H. Peterson, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society)

There are at least three streams of cultural influence work-ing against Christians who desire stick-to-itiveness—who want their faith to have true staying power.

The first stream is the cultural influence of the status quo, which insists that a life of faith is mostly confined to young students and parents of children. If you have spent any time leading or participating in youth ministry in the past few decades, you know the statistics. After high school, church attendance drops significantly. And it tends to stay there for a while, at least until you get married and have kids and want to raise them “properly.”

The second stream is our general hurried pace, and our celebration of this hurried pace. Our days are packed. We move from one activity to the next with little to no time for reflection. I recently taught a group of High School students the practice of Lectio Divina. We quickly discov-ered that the most difficult aspect of this practice for mod-ern Christians is the period of silence after we have read, meditated, and prayed. Like everything else we do, there is a tendency to get in, hear from God in prayer and through Scripture, and then get out and move on with our lives. We have to fight everything within us to choose to sit, in silence, to allow the words to sink in.

The third stream of cultural influence that is detrimental to our development of a spiritual stick-to-itiveness is our love for noise. Like many of our loves, this one is—for many of us—actually a love-hate relationship. We wake up and reach for our phones in order to catch up on what we might have missed while we were sleeping. We are standing in line and instinctively reach into our pockets to check the time on our phones, and are met with notifica-tions demanding our attention. Minutes later, we put our

phone back into our pockets, only then realizing that we still do not know the time. We recognize how life-draining these habits are, but we cannot find a way to avoid them.

So what are those of us who recognize these streams within our own lives to do to combat them? What about for those within the church who are living in the no-man’s-land of young adulthood who—if you believe the statistics—are a dwindling crowd?

Those of us who desire a faith that lasts despite the challenges addressed above have a liturgical ally in our fight against these three streams: the Prayers after Communion and—by extension—the time we spend waiting for the Prayers after Communion.

Let’s be honest: everyone has somewhere to be. The aver-age parishioner has had a busy weekend, and has a loom-ing week ahead of them. Their favorite team has already begun to play, or the rest of their friends are already at lunch waiting for them. It is very convenient to slip out the door after receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus; it may also be working against the very aspect of our faith that needs the most attention at this point in our lives.

Forcing ourselves to kneel and pray while we wait for others to finish receiving Communion goes against each of the streams mentioned above. Rather than being an inconvenience, we can view this time as a gift from God to pause and be still in the presence of Jesus. There is nothing to accomplish in this time. No demands to be met. We simply wait, and pray.

At the end of our time of waiting, the Priest prays one of several Prayers after Communion that themselves also help combat the three streams. As an Anglican Christian living in the English-speaking world, I cannot help but close with one of the Post-communion Prayers found in the 1979 Book of Common Prayer.

Against the status-quo of dwindling church membership among millennials, we are asked to pray: “Thank you for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living

members of the Body of your Son.”

Against the tendency to rush out the door and move on to other activities, we are reminded that we are actually be-ing sent out of our Parish by God: “to do the work you

have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful wit-nesses of Christ our Lord.”

Against our dependency on being fed by the noise of daily life we thank God “for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ.”

While it was originally written for an audience of college and graduate students, the beauty of the Mass is something that we can all consider and savor. We hope that you enjoy these reflections, consider prayerfully how you are called to engage or reengage in the Mass, and share these words with your loved ones. Timothy P.
