From the Pastor: Corpus Christi Sequence
Last week we celebrated Corpus Christi on Thursday, the actual day of the celebration, and then on Sunday we celebrated the External Solemnity of Corpus Christi for the sake of those who could not make it on Thursday. I had mentioned on Thursday that it would behoove everyone to get a copy of the sequence (written by St. Thomas Aquinas) and read and study it. Although you will probably find a beautiful poetic translation in your missal, I want you to be able to compare it to a more literal translation, for it is very difficult to translate and keep the same meaning and doubly difficult to do so while also trying to keep a rhyme and meter in a foreign language. So here is one from Abbot Gueranger’s “The Liturgical Year”, a classic commentary on the Masses on the Church’s liturgical calendar of old. It isn’t as melodious as some other translations you might find, but it is powerful in Catholic teaching about the Eucharist! Praise thy Saviour, O Sion! praise thy guide and shepherd, in hymns and canticles. As much as thou hast power, so also dare; for he is above all praise, nor canst thou praise him enough. This day there is given to us a special theme of praise -- the living and life-giving Bread, Which, as our faith assures us, was given to the twelve brethren, as they sat at the table of the holy Supper. Let our praise be full, let it be sweet: let our soul’s jubilee be joyous, let it be beautiful; For we are celebrating that great day, whereon is commemorated the first institution of this Table. In this Table of the new King, the new Pasch of the new Law puts an end to the old Passover. Newness puts the old to flight, and so does truth the shadow; the light drives night away. What Christ did at that Supper, that he said was to be done in remembrance of him. Taught by his sacred institution, we consecrate this bread and wine into the Victim of salvation. This is the dogma given to Christians -- that bread passes into Flesh, and wine into Blood. What thou understandest not, what thou seest not, that let a generous faith confirm thee in beyond nature’s course. Under the different species, which are signs not things, there hidden lie things of infinite worth. The Flesh is food, the Blood is drink; yet Christ is whole under each species. He is not cut by the receiver, nor broken, nor divided: he is taken whole. He is received by one, he is received by a thousand; the one receives as much as all; nor is he consumed, who is received. The good receive, the bad receive, but with the difference of life or death. ‘Tis death to the bad, ‘tis life to the good: lo! how unlike is the effect of the one like receiving. And when the Sacrament is broken, waver not! but remember, that there is as much under each fragment, as is hid under the whole. Of the substance that is there, there is no division; it is but the sign that is broken; and he who is the signified, is not thereby diminished, either as to state or stature. Lo! the Bread of angels is made the food of pilgrims; verily it is the Bread of the Children, not to be cast to dogs. It is foreshown in figures: when Isaac is slain, when the Paschal lamb is prescribed, when Manna is given to our fathers. O good Shepherd! true Bread! Jesus! have mercy upon us: feed us, defend us: give us to see good things in the land of the living. O thou, who knowest and canst do all things, who feedest us mortals here below, make us to be thy companions in the banquet yonder above, and they joint-heirs, and fellow-citizens with the saints! Amen. Alleluia. With prayers for your holiness, Rev. Fr. Edwin Palka

“Gregorian Chats” —-
By now many of you will have heard about the chant week that our parish hosted last week for the young and young at heart. Believe it or not, we had 50+
children, teens, and adults spend 5 hours every single day singing and having some well-needed fellowship. What an absolute joy it was to hear so many people lifting their voices in praise to the Everlasting Father! Special thanks is owed to Mary Ann Carr-Wilson for traveling to share her talents with us, and to Jean Cantu for organizing it all - without them, this certainly wouldn’t have happened. Thank you! And thank you to the participants (And their parents for bringing them!) for jumping in head first and giving their all for such a worthy cause as passing on our musical patrimony to future generations. Now I expect to hear you all singing during High Mass :-)
Anders Bergmann Choirmaster, The St. Dunstan Schola
The garden affords a beautiful emblem of a Christian’s continu-al progress in the path of virtue. Plants always mount upwards, and never stop in their growth till they have attained to that maturity which the author of nature has prescribed: all the nour-ishment they receive ought to tend to this end; if any part waste itself in superfluities, this is a kind of disease. So in a Christian, everything ought to carry him towards that perfection which the sanctity of his state requires; and every desire of his soul, every action of his life, to be a step advancing to this in a direct line. When all his inclinations have one uniform bent, and all his labours the same tendency, his progress must be great, because uninterrupted, however imperceptible it may often appear. Even his temporal affairs must be undertaken with this intention, and so conducted as to fall within the compass of this his great design. The saints so regulated all their ordinary actions, their meals, their studies, their conversation and visits, their business and toil, whether tilling a garden or superintending an estate, as to make the love of God their motive, and the accomplishment of his will their only ambition in every action. By these is the soul daily more and more purified, and all her powers united to God, and made heavenly. These are properly the most sweet and beautiful flowers of paradise, or of a virtuous life.
