The Pastor is IN...

Today we will finish looking at the items in the sanctuary of the Church. Again, there is nothing redundant within the House of The Lord. Every item used for and in worship draws us into the sacred mysteries being celebrat-ed. It is our prayer here at St. Edward that these articles regarding The Mass help all who read them know of God’s great love for them in the Sacrament of the Altar and that all of the deepest longings of the human heart can be satiated at the Table of the Lord.

Ambo: In its Greek original, the word ambon simply means a rim or raised area. A raised platform called a migdal, frequently translated as “pulpit” in scripture, is mentioned in the Book of Nehemiah (8:4), and Solomon is recorded as having constructed a bronze platform upon which he stood at the consecration of the Temple (2 Chron 13).

According to the mind of the Church, the ambo extends in the visual realm the mission of the proclamation of the sacred scripture which “expresses the Father’s love that never fails in its effectiveness toward us” (LM 4). More than a lectern and more than a pulpit, an ambo gives a glorified visual amplification of the minster of the word who sacramentalizes Christ himself speaking to his people.

Sanctuary Lamp: In the Old Testament God commanded that a lamp filled with the purest oil of olives should always burn in the Tabernacle of the Testimony without the veil (Exodus 27:20, 21). The Church prescribes that at least one lamp should continually burn before the tabernacle not only as an ornament of the altar, but for the purpose of worship. It is also a mark of honor. It is to remind the faithful of the presence of Christ, and is a profession of their love and affection.

Altar Candles: Candles have always been used in the Church in a symbolic way. From ancient times the lighted candle has been seen as a symbol of the light of Christ. This is clearly expressed at the Easter Vigil, when the deacon or priest enters the darkened church with the

single Easter candle. Jesus came into our world of sin and death to bring the light of God to us. He expressed this idea clearly in the Gospel of John: “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).

Besides offering a meditation on light, candles in the Catholic Church are traditionally made of beeswax. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “The pure wax extracted by bees from flowers symbolizes the pure flesh of Christ received from His Virgin Mother, the wick signifies the soul of Christ, and the flame represents His divinity.” The requirement to use candles that are, at the very least partially made with beeswax, is still present in the Church on account of this ancient symbolism.

In the end, while candles may seem antiquated and unnecessary, the Church believes that the natural beauty of candles can have a spiritual impact on our souls. The Church, in her wisdom, realizes the power behind the symbolism of using candles and how they can reignite a drooping spirit and fill it with the fire of divine love.

Presiders Chair: Together with the altar and ambo, the celebrant’s chair is considered one of the three principal liturgical furnishings in the sanctuary of every Catholic church, and frequently, the Church’s official documents give short theological explanations about the nature of each. The altar, for instance, stands as an image of Christ exercising his priestly office and gives a foretaste of the heavenly banqueting table. The ambo signifies the dignity of the Word of God proclaimed and magnifies its importance. The chair, too, has its own role to play: the cathedra, or bishop’s chair, signifies the teaching, governing and sanctifying role of the bishop in his diocese as successor of the apostles.

By extension, every priest celebrant’s chair in a parish church signifies the priest’s headship during the sacred liturgy and his mission to sanctify and govern those in his care. The priest in his parish sacramentalizes Christ presiding as the head of the Mystical Body, and his chair indicates this role. As such, it is more than an everyday chair.

When properly designed, all liturgical things lead the minds of the faithful from material things to invisible spiritual realities they manifest. That completes our look at items used at Mass, what is worn for the celebration of Mass and the place where Mass is celebrated. I hope you enjoyed it, and even learned a little more about what you see and how it is used to direct our thoughts to God.

St. Edward, pray for us. Treu in Christus, faithfully in Christ, Fr. Rod

Please Pray For:

LESSONS FROM THE ASSUMPTION OF MARY

Growing in holiness is similar to training in a sport. We need someone to show us how we can live our faith well. Mary is a model of sanctity. She shows us how to be faithful to God’s will, living each day with confidence in God’s mercy and love. At the Nativity,

in Jesus’ public ministry, and at the Crucifixion, we see her steadfast trust. She allows the Lord to use her life to accomplish his plan for her and for all of us. In the Preface of the Mass for the Assumption of Mary, we pray: “For today the Virgin Mother of God was assumed into heaven as the beginning and im-age of your Church’s coming to perfection and a sign of sure hope and comfort to your pilgrim people.”

It is this image of holiness that we strive to imitate. In the office, at home, or in our community, we look for signs of God’s grace that call us to an ever great-er love of him and each other. A greater awareness of God is a sign of our conversion of heart that lives the lessons Mary teaches.

2020 “TONS of PRAYERS”

Dear Parishioners of St. Edward,

My name is Jeremy Leber and I will be in the eighth grade at St. Edward this coming school year.

St. Edward Parish has been so supportive of our military and the TONS of Prayers effort. The TONS of Prayers prayer chain for our soldiers started seven years ago with almost 700 prayer strips being sent to Kosovo. Last year almost 6,300 prayer strips were shipped to Kuwait. What a special delivery to read all your kind and encouraging words! Your support means so much to the soldiers especially when they are so far from home. Thank you for bringing them peace and comfort.

As with many activities this year, TONS of Prayers will look a little different. Due to the virus, we are not sending a prayer chain this year. Instead, we are asking you to pray daily for our military. The military chaplain we spoke with encourages us to pray not only for our soldiers, but for their families and our veterans.

Dear God, we thank you for allowing us to be blessed with this life of safety. Please help the people that make this possible and keep them safe from all

illness and harm. Provide them peace and comfort while they are away on duty. May we never fail to show our respect and thanks for all those who have served and for all of

those who have made sacrifices to ensure our freedoms including the

families of our soldiers and all veterans.

Amen. - Jeremy Leber
