TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

The fact that many monastic churches do not have a prominent tabernacle shapes the patterns of liturgical prayer. Monastic communities often protect the ancient value of “receiving from the same sacrifice,” meaning that the communicants are assured that what they eat and drink in the Holy Mysteries actually comes from the same cele-bration. It surprises many to learn that the Church does not foresee, nor does it provide for, Communion of the faithful from the reserved Sacrament. Liturgical laws have long defended your right to receive from the same sacrifice, the same Mass, that you attend. At one time, of course, the bread for the Eucharist was the ordinary bread of the day, except unleavened, probably prepared at home. It was broken and distributed to the faith-ful. Early on the loaf itself was referred to as the hostia in Latin, meaning the “sacrifice,” the same word for the sacri-ficial animal in Jewish worship, and for Jesus as the Lamb of God. By giving his life on the cross, Jesus became the hostia for us. To this day in the Greek Church, one of the tasks of the priest’s wife is to bake the bread for the Divine Liturgy, sometimes in a bakery oven dedicated to that pur-pose and called a “Bethlehem.” Today’s familiar individual hosts first appeared in the eleventh century at about the time when tabernacles were coming into use. The turn away from “bready” bread al-lowed the hosts to be reserved since they did not spoil like regular bread, and made the annual “Easter duty” counts easier. —Rev. James Field, © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER May 7, 2017, Year A

THE CALL OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD The Twenty-third Psalm, today’s responsorial psalm, is arguably the best known of all the psalms. The line that reads “Even though I walk in the dark valley / I fear no evil; for you are at my side / with your rod and your staff / that give me courage” (Psalm 23:4) connects this week’s scriptures to the wonderful story of the road to Emmaus, which we heard last week. The Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is constantly at our side. He calls us each by name, beckoning us into a deeper relation-ship with him. That call, issued to each of us at the moment of our baptism, carries with it the promise of the Good Shepherd: “I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). —Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

AT OLVSTA

...And what a week it was! OLV was filled to capacity and then some for all of its services during Holy Week. Many commented at how they thought the “crowds” were much larger this year than last. Much planning and hard work took place to make it all happen in such a way that people left our parish with their “minds and hearts lifted up to God.” Thanks to my fellow Clergy for all their assistance in-cluding our priests in residence, in making our liturgies ones that inspired as well as made so many glad that they spent Holy Week with us for all or part. Special Thanks to Fr. Sovis for fine job he did as Mas-ter of Ceremonies at all our liturgies. Thanks to Carlos, Edith, Janel, Marcial, Nancy & Patricia and our volunteers for all their hard work not only during Holy Week but throughout the year. Thanks to Don Barnum & Mick Tucci, our Organists and Choirmasters for all their hard work which paid off with truly beautiful liturgies which helped our parish really “lift up our minds & hearts to God” during Holy Week. Thanks to Ellen Wright who play & sings at our 1:15 daily Mass. Thanks to our Canoni Chorale & our Schola Cantorum Choirs for inspired singing during Holy Week that gave glory to God and left many wanting more. BTW....our well-attended Holy Season concert was universally praised by those in attendance...including the clergy! Thanks to our lectors, servers, and ushers who assisted in making our liturgies exceptional. Again, Thanks to Carlos, who because of his dedication to our parish, made everything run so smoothly while at the same time keeping our church operative and clean. Many parishioners/friends and visitors commented on how beautiful our Church was for the Holy Week & Easter. Thank you Fr. Sovis, Frs. Cortezano & Kofi & Carlos for decorating the Church & especially the Sanctuary so beautifully at OLV & Marcial, Edith and Nancy for doing likewise at Saint Andrew. Finally, thanks to all of you for belonging to OLVSTA. Your presence is keenly felt and your generosity is very much appreciated. With every good wish for you and yours as we continue our journey of faith this holy season. ~Fr. Myles P. Murphy Pastor
