TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

W e’ve seen how the rescue of Eucharis c Prayer II from the mists of history changed the style of our prayer, introducing a sleek simplicity to the prayer said aloud by the priest. Remember, before the re‐form of our prayer in the late 1960s, the priest whispered the words of the Roman Canon, Eucharis c

Prayer I. His voice was not amplified, his back was to the people, who could only tell what was going on by a shi in his posture as he bowed and genuflected and as bells were rung to indicate his progress through the prayer. With the emergence of the new prayers, some feared that the old prayer would be lost forever if it weren’t somehow changed. The reformers asked that it be streamlined a bit by omi ng the repeated “Through Christ” at the end of various intercessions, and trimming the list of somewhat obscure saints. The new edi on therefore brackets parts of the two lists of saints in the prayer, unfortunately dropping all the women from the second set. The decision was also made to keep the Lord’s words at the consecra on exactly the same in every Eucharis c Prayer, although there is precedent for more variety. On November 2, 1968, Pope Paul VI signed off on the plan of the new Mass, and by April 1969, the publica on of the revised order of Mass was announced. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S.

24th Sunday in Ordinary Time September 17, 2017

Forgive your neighbor’s injustice; then when you pray,

your own sins will be forgiven.

— Sirach 28:2

FORGIVENESS

N early ten years before, a son and fa‐

ther had parted ways when the busi‐

ness they shared went bankrupt. The

son blamed the father. They did not speak to each

other again.

Then the father became seriously ill. The

mother called the son and told him he had be er

come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the

hospital room. The father mo oned his son to him

and whispered: “Did you ever think you could do

anything that would keep me from loving you?”

Resentment and anger are foul things, the first

reading from Sirach tells us. Remember the last

things. Stop ha ng. Live by the commandments.

As Saint Paul writes to the Romans, we are to live

for the Lord and die for the Lord.

Jesus’ parable in today’s Gospel reminds us of

God’s compassion. The immense sin of humanity

has been forgiven and stricken from the record.

We are to forgive others in the same way.
