FEAST OF FAITH Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus:

Song of Heaven

The words of the Sanctus are rooted in the

scriptures. They recall the song of the seraphim in the

prophet Isaiah’s vision of God in majesty: “Seraphim

were stationed above; each of them had six wings:

with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled

their feet, and with two they hovered aloft. ‘Holy,

holy, holy is the LORD of hosts!’ they cried one to the

other. ‘All the earth is filled with his glory!’ ” (Isaiah

6:2-3). They recall the Gospel accounts of Jesus’

entry into Jerusalem: “Hosanna to the Son of David;

blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord;

hosanna in the highest” (Matthew 21:9). Yet the

liturgy adds something new to these ancient texts. The

seraphim sang, “the earth is filled with his glory.” But

the liturgy proclaims, “heaven and earth are full of

your glory.” In the Eucharist, earth and heaven meet.

For a moment in time, we join in the song that the

angels sing for all time. The Sanctus raises us to

heaven, but does not remove us from the earth. It is

the song of the King who took on our human flesh so

that we might share in his divine life. —Corinna Laughlin, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

gymnasium-classroom extension. There are brochures

available at the doors of the Church. Anyone wishing to

make a donation toward this effort is asked to contact the

PREPARING FOR THE NEW TRANSLATION OF THE MASS

Why a New Translation?

On the First Sunday of Advent, November 27,

2011, Catholic parishes in the United States will begin

praying the texts of the Mass using a new English

translation of The Roman Missal. Many people have

wondered why the Church is implementing a new

translation of the prayers of the Mass. The Mass is the

very core of Catholic life; its prayers express our Catholic

beliefs. The more clearly we can express those beliefs, the

more our faith can grow and be nourished. When the Mass

was first translated into English some forty years ago, it

was understood that the translation would have to be

assessed and revised from time to time. Since then, a

number of Church leaders, most prominently the late

Blessed Pope John Paul II, have expressed the opinion that

the 1960s translations of the Latin were done in haste.

After the Second Vatican Council, when the Church

throughout the world began praying the Mass in the

languages of the people rather than in Latin, translations

from the Latin were in immediate demand. In contrast, the

new translation that we will now be using has taken nearly

a decade to produce and, as Pope John Paul II desired, it is

closer to the original Latin. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

KID’S PAGE Prayers and history of the Church

______________________ August 7, 2011 Today we remember Saint Victricius (vik-TREE-she-us) who died in 407. He and his friend Martin of Tours were Roman soldiers. When they decided to become Christians, they put down their weapons and refused to remain in the army. They were beaten and treated as deserters. Victricius became a wandering preacher in what is now France, and then was elected bishop. He was known as a peacemaker. Later, he wrote of his life, “I inspired the wise with love of peace, I taught it to the teachable, I explained it to the ignorant, I imposed it on the obstinate, insisting on it in season and out of season.” Reading: Zechariah 9:9-10 Listen to the words of the prophet Zechariah. The Lord says this: Everyone in Jerusalem, celebrate and shout! Your king has won the victory, and he is coming to you. He is humble and rides on a donkey. He comes on the colt of a donkey. I, the Lord, will take away war chariots and horse from Israel and Jerusalem. Bows that were made for battle will be broken. I will bring peach to nations, and your king will rule from sea to sea. His kingdom will reach from the Euphrates River across the earth. The Word of the Lord. Reflection: Why is it so hard to think of kings who do not use war or the threat of war? Do I prefer leaders who are fierce in the schoolyard or neighborhood? Is peacefulness the same as weakness? Why is peacemaking so difficult, when all people want to be at peace? Prayer: The Lord reigns; let the earth rejoice; Let many coastlands be glad! Clouds and thick darkness surround the Lord; The Lord’s lightnings light up the world; The earth sees and trembles. The heavens proclaim God’s justice and all the peoples behold God’s glory. Rejoice in the Lord, O you faithful and give thanks to God’s holy name!

August 7, 2011 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

______________________ August 12, 2010

Today we celebrate “Brother Sun.” He warms our planet and fills it with things necessary for life and growth. But during August, the sun may be a bit too generous. Hot sunny days can be scorchers, when gardeners long for cool rain. The sun is many things to us, but above all it is our giant lantern. Light has come to represent joy, knowledge, innocence, love and life itself. The sun is a powerful icon of God, whom we call “Light of Light” and “Light of the World.” We look forward to the end of the world, when, according to the Bible, God will be all the light we need. Reading 1 John 2:7,8-13,14

Listen to the words of the first letter to John My dear friends! You can see the darkness fading away and the true light already shining. If we claim to be in the light and hate someone, we are still in the dark. But if we love others, we are in the light, and we don’t cause problems for them. If we hate others, we are living and walking in the dark. We don’t know where we are going, because we can’t see in the dark. Children, I am writing you, because your sins have been forgiven in the name of Christ. Parents, I am writing you, because you have known the one who was there from the beginning. Young people, I am writing you, because you are strong. God’s message is firm in your hearts, and you have defeated the evil one. Reflection: What does John mean by “the true light [is] already shining”? How is having my sins forgiven like coming into the light?

On August 11 & 12, the earth’s orbit takes us through a cloud of rocks left by a comet. If we look in the sky before dawn, we can see falling stars called “Saint Lawrence’s tears” because they appear close to his feast day (August 10). It is also called the Perseid meteor shower.
