Mission Statement of St. Dominic Church As members of St Dominic Church, we are called through our baptism to give witness to
the presence of the Holy Trinity by accepting the Gospel message of Jesus Christ as part of
our daily lives. Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel; to teach and share our faith; and to
show the love of God to all through our daily lives.
January 15, 2017 ~ Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
THREE MISSIONS
Today we begin with one of the “servant songs” from the book of Isaiah, a song prophetic of
Jesus’ ministry of service. Isaiah’s mission is not only to bring back the children of Jacob to
gather in Israel; it is also to be “a light to the nations” (Isaiah 49:6). Jesus Christ, as servant, will
be the fulfillment of the ancient prophecy and the basis of the new.
This Sunday we begin a series of readings from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. Here Paul is
identified by his mission: he is an apostle of Jesus Christ. The church at Corinth to whom he
addresses this letter is also identified: it is part of the universal church of God. The Corinthians
are called to holiness, as are all Christians.
Though the feast of the Baptism of the Lord was celebrated last Monday, today’s Gospel
also alludes to the importance of that event. The reading emphasizes that Jesus “outranks” John:
his baptism in the Spirit will eradicate sin. Jesus accepts John’s baptism, even though it is he
himself who is the Lamb of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

You are always in our hearts, minds

Eucharist at St. Dominic.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As soon as Christmas ends, people begin planning for
Easter! Originally, the source of our Paschal Triduum was
but a single liturgy extending from Saturday sundown to
sunrise on Easter Sunday. The two days leading up to the
liturgy were days of fast, not only for the elect, but for the
church preparing to baptize them. A fifth-century pope
explained that the church imitated the apostles, who were
in hiding with their grief from the arrest of Jesus, and
therefore sacraments, even penance, were forbidden.
Inevitably, though, people wanted to come together,
and so eventually a Liturgy of the Word developed for
Good Friday. This was the first step toward today’s shape
of the Triduum, and gradually new ideas were embraced,
including the veneration of the cross and a simple
Communion service. Interestingly, the Word remained
central, since we know that in those days the pope did not
receive Communion at this liturgy, even though the faithful
had that option. In the other churches of Rome, priests and
people received Communion under both species. Although
the custom of Communion on Good Friday took hold, it
did not endure past the Middle Ages. The central liturgies
of the year slowly unraveled and disappeared from parish
life. Remember that there were no seminaries in those
days, and books were a rare luxury. Most priests could
only manage to celebrate a simple “low” Mass, and few
parishes could afford the ritual books that would guide a
priest through the complex forms. Holy Week remained
important in private devotion, but for a time the liturgies
virtually disappeared.
