Four Reasons Your Child

Should Be An Altar Server1. Your child will enjoy an inside look at the Mass. Altar

Servers learn exactly what each part of the Mass means.

Often, parish priests will offer a walk through explaining

every piece of vestment and all the articles used in the

Mass.

2. Vocation, whether to the married or religious life, starts

with personal experience. Your daughter or sons faith lifewill be enhanced by participation.

3. Working with other altar servers and participating in

Ministry events helps to build community and lasting

friendships.

4. Serving is a great opportunity to learn how to lead. Altar

Servers often mentor other servers.

"From that hour onward,

the disciple took her into

his care." May the same

be said of us? Do we

welcome Mary into our

homes? We really should

bring her with full rights

into the home which is

our life, our faith, our

affections, our

commitments, to

recognize the maternal

role which is proper to

her, that is, a function of

guidance, admonition,

exhortation, or even of

silent presence only, whih

is sometimes enough to

inspire strength and

courage on its own...

After Jesus' ascension,

the first disciples

gathered with "Mary, the

mother of Jesus." So,

she was also there, in

their community. Indeed,

perhaps it was she who

gave it cohesion. And the

fact that she is descripted

as the 'mother of Jesus"

shows how much she

was linked with the

personality of her Son. It

shows, in other words,

that Mary always reminds

us of the slavific value of

the work of Jesus, our

only Saviorin our act of

faith as well.

BRINGING MARYINTO OUR HOMES

And the second is

like unto it, Thou

shalt love thy

neighbor as thyself.

In the family of God, Mary safe-

guards each one's difference with-

in the communion among all. Atthe same time, she can be a teach-

er to us of availablility to the Ho-

ly Spirit, of trembling participa-

tion in Christ's total dedication to

the will of the Father , of intimate

sharing, above all, in the Son's

Passion and in assured spiritual

fecundity. "There is your mother."

Let everyone feel these words as

addressed to himself and herself,

and so find confidence and drive

forever more decisive and serene

progress upon the committed path

of one's own life.

Mary says to us today: "I am the

servant of the Lord. Let it bedone to me as you say". (Luke

1:38). And with those words, she

expresses what was the funda-

mental attitude of her life; her

faith!John Paul II.
