Words in the Roman Missal, Third Edition
Some of the words used in the new translation of the Mass may be unfamiliar to some Catholics. The following
list of definitions may help to increase your understanding of the rich theology that underlies these texts.
Abasement: The lowering of one of higher rank. Jesus abased himself in that, though he was God, he lowered himself and
became a human being so that he might save us from our sins (see Phil 2:6-11).
Adoption: In Baptism, the Holy Spirit transforms us into children of the Father, thereby making us his adopted sons and
daughters in the likeness of his eternal Son (see Eph 1:3-6). In this way, the faithful are made “partakers in the divine
nature (cf. 2 Pt 1:4) by uniting them in a living union with the only Son, the Savior” (Catechism of the Catholic Church [CCC],
no. 1129). In the sacraments, we become the sons and daughters of God by adoption through Christ Jesus.
Angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim, thrones and dominions: Spiritual, personal, and immortal creatures,
with intelligence and free will, who glorify God and serve him as messengers of his saving plan. Traditionally, the choirs of
angels have been divided into various ranks, including archangels, cherubim, seraphim, thrones, dominions, principalities,
and powers (see Col 1:16).
Chalice: From the Latin word “calix” meaning “cup” (see Ps 116:13; Mt 20:22; 1 Cor 10:16). The use of this term in the
Liturgy points to the chalice’s function as a particular kind of cup and indicates the uniqueness of what it contains, the very
Blood of Christ.
Clemency: The loving kindness, compassion, or mercy that God shows to sinners.
Communion: Our fellowship and union with Jesus and other baptized Christians in the Church, which has its source and
summit in the celebration of the Eucharist. By receiving Jesus in Holy Communion, we are united to him and one another
as members of his Body.
Consecration: The dedication of a thing or person to divine service by a prayer or blessing. In the Mass, “consecration”
also refers to the words spoken by the priest whereby the bread and wine are transformed into the risen Body and Blood of
Jesus.
Consubstantial: The belief, articulated in the Nicene Creed, about the relationship of the Father and the Son: that “in the
Father and with the Father, the Son is one and the same God” (CCC, no. 262).
Contrite: To be repentant within one’s heart and mind for sins committed and to resolve not to sin again.
Covenant: A solemn agreement between human beings, between God and a human being, or between God and a people
involving mutual commitments or promises. In the Old Testament, God made a covenant with the Jewish people. Jesus,
through his death and Resurrection, made a new covenant with the whole of humanity. One enters into this new covenant
through faith and Baptism.
Damnation: Eternal separation from God’s love caused by dying in mortal sin without repentance.
Godhead: The mystery of one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Homage: The honor, respect, and reverence due to another. Homage is especially due to God, for he is eternal, all good,
all holy, and all loving.
Implore: To plead, beseech, or ask with humility. This is an example of the self-deprecatory language in the Roman Missal
that helps to express our dependence on God. We humbly beg the Father to hear and answer our prayers, for we ask them
in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of Jesus.
Incarnation: The Son of God assumed human nature and became man by being conceived by the Holy Spirit in the
womb of the Virgin Mary. Jesus is true God and true man. As man, the Son of God obtained our salvation. The use of this
term in the Nicene Creed indicates that Jesus’ birth has a significance beyond that of any other human birth.
Words in the Roman Missal, Third Edition (con’t)
page 3
Ineffable: That which cannot be conceived or expressed fully (see 1 Cor 2:6-9). One cannot, for example, adequately
describe in concepts and words the mystery of the Trinity or the mystery of the Incarnation.
Infusion: The Holy Spirit is poured into the hearts and souls of believers, and so they are filled, or infused, with grace.
Intercessor: One who makes a petition on behalf of others. Our unique intercessor is Jesus Christ, who intercedes on our
behalf with the Father (see Rom 8:34). The priest at Mass acting in the person of Christ intercedes on behalf of the whole
Church.
Justification: The gracious action by which God frees us from sin and makes us holy and righteous before him.
Lord, God of Hosts: From the word “sabaoth,” hosts are the invisible powers that work at God’s command over heaven
and earth.
Mediator: One who unites or reconciles separate or opposing parties. Thus, Jesus Christ is the “one mediator between
God and the human race” (1 Tm 2:5). Through his sacrificial offering he has become high priest and unique mediator who
has gained for us access to the Father through the Holy Spirit.
Merit: The reward that God promises and gives to those who love him and who by his grace perform good works. One
cannot earn justification or eternal life; they are the free gifts of God. Rather our merit is from God through Christ in the
Holy Spirit. The Father freely justifies us in Christ through the indwelling of the Spirit; and Christians, by the same Holy
Spirit, are empowered to do good works of love and justice. In cooperating with the Holy Spirit, the faithful receive further
grace and thus, in Christ, cooperate in the work of their salvation.
Oblation: A gift or sacrifice offered to God.
Only-Begotten Son: This title “signifies the unique and eternal relationship of Jesus Christ to God his Father: he is the
only Son of the Father (cf. Jn 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18); he is God himself (cf. Jn 1:1)” (CCC, no. 454). Jesus is the Son of God not
by adoption but by nature.
Paschal: Referring to Christ’s work of redemption accomplished through his Passion, death, Resurrection, and Ascension.
Through the Paschal Mystery, Jesus destroyed our death and restored us to life. The Paschal Mystery is celebrated and
made present in the Liturgy so that we can obtain the fruit of Jesus’ death and Resurrection, that is, the forgiveness of our
sins and the new life of the Holy Spirit.
Patriarchs: Title given to the venerable ancestors or “fathers” of the Semitic peoples, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who
received God’s promise of election.
Precursor: One who comes before as a herald. John the Baptist is the precursor of Jesus.
Provident grace: The free and undeserved gift that God gives us as he protects and governs all creation.
Redemption: Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer because he frees us from our sin through his sacrificial death on the
Cross.
Temporal: What pertains to this world of time and history, as opposed to what pertains to God, such as our new life in
Christ through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Venerate: To show devotion and respect to holy things and people. Catholics venerate relics and saints. Veneration must
be clearly distinguished from adoration and worship, both of which pertain solely to the Trinity and Jesus as the Son of
God.

O Lord our God,
We thank you for bringing us together as husband and wife.
We ask your Spirit to open our hearts, and we ask your Son to teach us to love.
To grow in communion with you and each other is what we desire.
Grant us the will to welcome and accept each other, the perseverance to keep our
promise to always be present to each other, and the generosity to give unselfishly
day after day. Grant us the humility to ask forgiveness, the courage to forgive,
the compassion to console, and the care to heal. Grant us eagerness to serve
without expecting to be served. With your help our unity will grow to resemble your
communion, and our hearts will be filled with joy. This we ask through Jesus, your
Son and our brother. Amen.

FEAST OF FAITH
The Sign of Peace
“Greet one another with a holy kiss,” wrote Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 16:20), and he said the same thing to other
communities as well. The holy kiss, the sign of peace, has been a hallmark of Christians from the very beginning. In giving and
receiving the sign of peace, we are not giving something of our own, but something that Christ has given to us. “Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give to you,” Jesus told his disciples (John 14:27). Jesus comes to us when we gather together in community. We
celebrate the Eucharist not just to receive spiritual nourishment to help us on our solitary way to salvation, but to be transformed into
one body, the Body of Christ in the world. As we receive the Eucharist, we are not only united to Christ; we are united to each other.
It is never easy to live in community, and we hurt each other on the way. So we need to turn to each other in a sign of reconciliation
and forgiveness, to look into each other’s eyes, and give and receive the peace that is not ours, but Christ’s. —Corinna Laughlin, © Copyright, J. S.

Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
For the Ride Home
Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 2, 2011
Scripture
My friend had a vineyard on a fertile hillside; he spaded it,
cleared it of stones, and planted the choicest vines; within it he
built a watchtower, and hewed out a wine press. (Isaiah 5:1,2)
You brought a vine out of Egypt; (Psalm 80:9)
Have no anxiety at all, (Philippians 4:6)
They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
(Mt 21:39)
Reflection
Are perfectly laid plans always realized as anticipated?
Have you ever learned more when a plan failed?
After a plan fail miserably did you find another alternative?
Was Jesus dying on the cross the failure it was perceived to be?
Is perceived success or failure the only end and the only
measure?
If I want only pure water, what does it matter to me whether it be
brought in a vase of gold or of glass? What is it to me whether the
will of God be presented to me in tribulation or consolation, since I
desire and seek only the divine will. (St. Francis de Sales)1

OURS
We live in a time when politicians, heads of corporations, bankers, and
others have acted with outrageous greed and selfishness, and there
have been devastating consequences. Add to that the troubles in our
Church, and we wonder if there has ever been a worse time than this.
The answer is yes: in the fourteenth century the bubonic plague killed
half the population of Europe; in 1960, forty million people died of
famine in China. The list of violent, tyrannical rulers stretches from
the Roman Emperor Caligula and Ivan the Terrible to Hitler, Stalin,
and Mao Tse Tung. The world harbors all kinds of evil, and nowadays
we hear about it very fast. But there is much more room for hope than
we might think. Matthew was writing his Gospel for a community of
Jewish Christians whose new faith set them apart from other Jews. All
were living under the oppressive rule of Roman conquerors. The
vineyard Matthew speaks of is like the world. God resembles the
landowner, who created it and made it fruitful. So who are the evil
tenants? For Matthew’s community it was these Jewish leaders who
grasped at power, collaborated with Rome, and cooperated in the
killing of God’s Son. But the Kingdom cannot be taken by force, and
those who wreak havoc in God’s world will face God’s justice in this
life or the next. In the meantime, it is our task to tend the Lord’s
vineyard. We can each contribute, from the smallest deeds of charity
in our own daily lives, to exercising morality and ethics in the work
place, to acting as responsible citizens, and striving to welcome and
love the forgotten, the lost, and the most oppressed among us. Never
lose heart and never give up; the Kingdom is ours.

Pope St. Pius V
established this feast in 1573.
The purpose was to thank God
for the victory of Christians
over the Turks at Lepanto—a
victory attributed to the
praying of the rosary. Clement XI extended
the feast to the universal Church in 1716.
The development of the rosary has
a long history. First, a practice developed
of praying 150 Our Fathers in imitation of
the 150 Psalms. Then there was a parallel
practice of praying 150 Hail Marys. Soon a
mystery of Jesus' life was attached to each
Hail Mary. Though Mary's giving the rosary
to St. Dominic is recognized as a legend,
the development of this prayer form owes
much to the followers of St. Dominic. One
of them, Alan de la Roche, was known as
"the apostle of the rosary." He founded the
first Confraternity of the Rosary in the 15th
century. In the 16th century the rosary was
developed to its present form—with the 15
mysteries (joyful, sorrowful and glorious).
In 2002, Pope John Paul II added the
Mysteries of Light to this devotion.
Comment:
The purpose of the rosary is to help
us meditate on the great mysteries of our
salvation. Pius XII called it a compendium
of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesus—
his birth, life, death and resurrection. The
Our Fathers remind us that Jesus' Father is
the initiator of salvation. The Hail Marys
remind us to join with Mary in
contemplating these mysteries. They also
make us aware that Mary was and is
intimately joined with her Son in all the
mysteries of his earthly and heavenly
existence. The Glorys remind us that the
purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity.
The rosary appeals to many. It is
simple. The constant repetition of words
helps create an atmosphere in which to
contemplate the mysteries of God. We
sense that Jesus and Mary are with us in
the joys and sorrows of life. We grow in
hope that God will bring us to share in the
glory of Jesus and Mary forever.

BLESSED SACRAMENT
Do you have a desire to be closer to Jesus?
Would you like to have a more intimate relationship with Jesus?
Have you ever just sat in the presence of Our Lord?
Have you ever wanted to just “get away from it all”, but did not know where to go?
We have just the place for you! We would like to invite you to visit Jesus in our Perpetual Adoration Chapel (located in the
Parish Office). What a special gift we have, to be able to be in His presence - any time, any day. He is there . . . waiting for
you! He desires for you to come and visit Him and He is only asking for one hour. Just think of all the ways He has been
there for you, won’t you come and visit? Please call Sr. Rosa Maria at 439-0124 ext. 112 to schedule your hour.
