TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The readings today center on mindfulness, awareness of where we stand in God’s plan. The mountain of
Sinai carries a message of the majesty and distance of
God, while Jesus’ presence as host of the banquet speaks
of intimacy and mystery. September’s shadow calls us all
to mindfulness as we prepare to return to life outside of
summer. The Christian life holds these two places of
knowledge of God in careful balance. Even in the accounts of the Passion we see the table of the upper room
in balance with the Mount of Olives.
Altar means “high place,” yet it is also a table.
The former liturgy of the Latin Rite began with the priest
bowing at the foot of the altar’s three steps, chanting Introibo ad altare Dei, or “I will go to the altar of God,”
followed by the altar servers’ response, “The God who
gives joy to my youth.” Many parishioners can recall and
recite this scene by heart. As with so many things in liturgy, there are layers of meaning in our worship. The altar
table evokes memories of the high places once reserved
for encounter with the holy, and the intimacy of the table
where hospitality draws us to share food and drink.

puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
