Corpus Christi 2018 Most holy Body X Blood of Christ

“ He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me and I in him.” —John 6:56

Extremely slow, juxtaposing beautiful chords—representing the love God shows the world by offering His Son for the remission of sins—with notes in the pedal line representing the drops of Christ’s blood from the cross. Time seems to be completely suspended in the meditation on the meaning of the Eucharist—the heavenly banquet. Understanding this organ meditation takes prayer & concentration. Messiaen was a mystical composer from France.

Following this weekend, our choir disbands for the summer. Many thanks to them for the commitment of their time to our music ministry.

(This means that you—the Assembly—are also the CHOIR.)

S aint Augustine recounts in his autobiography, Confessions, an experience he had during the singing of the Mass: “How I wept, deeply moved by your hymns, songs, and the voices that echoed through your Church! What emo-

tion I experienced in them! Those sounds flowed into my ears, distilling the truth in my heart. A feeling of devotion

surged within me, and tears streamed down my face — tears that did me good”. How can we explain this over-whelming and transforming experience that led one of our greatest saints to the Church? Clearly, this was much more

than a man simply being moved by a well-performed song. His entire being was penetrated

and transformed through music. How can this be?The Catechism of the Catholic Church (1157) makes a direct reference to Saint Augustine’s experience when it teaches that the

music and song of the liturgy “participate in the purpose of the liturgical words and actions:

the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful.”

THE WEIGHT OF THE HOLY MASS: A TRUE LIFE STORY

You will never want to miss attending Mass after

reading this!!!!!!

The following TRUE STORY was related to Sr. M. Veronica Murphy by an elderly nun who heard it from the lips of the late Reverend Father Stanis-

laus.

One day many years ago, in a little town in Luxembourg, a Captain of the Forest Guards was in deep conversation with the butcher when an elderly woman entered the shop. The butcher broke off the conversation to ask the old woman what she wanted. She had come to beg for a little meat but had no money. The Captain was amused at the woman and the butcher. “Only a little meat, but how much are you going to give her?” he wondered. “I am sorry I have no money, but I’ll hear Mass for you”, the woman told the butcher. Both the butcher and the Captain were indifferent about religion, so they at once began to scoff at the old woman’s idea. “All right then”, said the butcher. “You go and hear Mass for me and when you come back I’ll give you as much as the Mass is worth”.

The woman left the shop and returned later. She approached the counter and the butcher said. “All right then we’ll see.” He took a slip of paper and wrote on it ‘I heard a Mass for you.’ He placed the paper on the scales and a tiny bone on the other side, but nothing happened. Next he placed a piece of meat instead of the bone, but still the paper proved heavier. Both men were beginning to feel ashamed of their mockery but continued their game. A large piece of meat was placed on the balance, but still the paper held its own. The butcher, exasperated, examined the scales but found they were alright. “What do you want my good woman? Must I give you a whole leg of mutton?” At this he placed the leg of mut-ton on the balance, but the paper outweighed the meat. A larger piece of meat was put on, but again the weight remained on the side of the paper. This so impressed the butcher that he was converted and promised to give the woman her daily ration of meat. As for the Captain, he left the shop a changed man and became an ardent lover of daily Mass. Two of his sons became priests, one a Jes-uit and the other a Father of the Sacred Heart.

Father Stanislaus finished the story by -

saying, “I am from the Religious of the Sacred Heart and the - Captain was my father.” From this incident the Captain became a daily Mass attendant and his children were trained to fol-low his example. Later, when his sons became priests, he advised them to say Mass well every day and never miss the Sacrifice of the Mass through any fault of their own. (www.francismary.org)

We are celebrating the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. The Feast sums up three important confessions about our Faith. First is that God became physically present in the per-son of Christ. True God and True Man. Sec-ondly, God continues to be present in His peo-ple as they form the Mystical Body of Christ in his church. And thirdly, the presence of God under the form of bread and wine is made available to us on the altar at Mass and pre-served there for our nourishment and worship. During His ministry on earth, Jesus said, “I am the living bread that came down from Heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh for the life of the world.” The institution of the Lord’s Supper is the ultimate act of love of Je-sus towards his disciples and all others who believe in him. Happy Feast!!!!!!
