THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASS THE LAVABO

I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass Thy altar, O Lord. That I may hear the voice of Thy praise, and tell of all Thy wondrous works. I have loved, O Lord, the beauty if Thy house, and the place where Thy glory dwelleth.

Just as the priest prayed that his lips should be purified before speaking the words of the Gospel, so he now purifies his hands to prepare them to touch what will soon become the Body of Christ. Hands which are to touch the most sacred Body of Our Lord can never be sufficiently pure, so the washing signifies the purity and innocence necessary to approach the sacred mysteries, while the praying of Psalm 25 asks for the spiritual help of God for a pure state of soul.

According to Jewish custom on the Day of Atonement, the High Priest was permitted to enter the Holy of Holies to burn incense, and to sprinkle the altar with the blood of the sacrifices. To prepare for this honor, he spent six days in the temple precinct, purifying himself, and memorizing every detail of the ceremony. The night before, he kept a vigil, fasting and reading from the Psalms. Then on the day itself, he washed his entire body five times, and his hands and feet ten times.

Similarly, in the New Testament, we observe the custom of washing frequently. At the wedding feast of Cana, six stone water pots were set aside for the ritual of purification. Mary Magdalene washed the feet of Christ when the house-holder did not offer. And, at the Last Supper, Our Lord Himself, rose from his place, and washed the feet of his disciples in order to teach them humility.

We also need to prepare to enter the presence of our God, even though we have been washed in the water of our Baptism. In the Confiteor, we cleansed our hearts as we prayed that our sins would be washed away. We renew the Faith we received at Baptism in the Creed. So now that we are drawing near to the heart of the Mass, the symbolic washing calls upon the Holy Ghost to purify us further; so that our bodies may become a fitting vessel for the Body of our Lord.

Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked, nor my life with men of blood. In whose hands are iniquities; their right hand is filled with gifts. But, I have walked in my innocence; redeem me, and have mercy on me.

Liturgical Calendar: August 2 - August 9, 2015

Dear Guests & Visitors, Welcome!

Canon Denis Buchholz and the faithful of the Oratory welcome you to St. Patrick’s church. We hope that you will be able to fully appreciate the beauty of the classical Roman Catholic liturgy.

According to our liturgical tradition, and the norms in effect, Holy Communion is received on the tongue and (if possible for you) kneeling. All visitors who are not practicing Catholics in full communion with the Church, are kindly asked not to receive Holy Communion. Holy Communion is a sign of unity and communion of heart and mind with Jesus and with the Church He founded. To communicate, it is essential to have been baptized into the Ro-man Catholic Church, to embrace all the teachings of the Faith, and to live them. Thus the soul is in the state of grace, fully alive, and able to receive Jesus truly present in the Sacred Host with His precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.

To receive more information about the Oratory, or if you desire to become a member of the Roman Catholic Church, please contact the rectory. St. Patrick Oratory is an apostolate of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest in the Diocese of Green Bay. Any contributions are very much appreciated, and are tax deductible.
