A WALK THROUGH THE MASS: ENTRANCE THROUGH THE GREETING
DEACON IAN M. BOZANT
In order to foster a greater reverence for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it is important for us to begin by
looking at the Mass more deeply. So often, we approach Holy Mass as a routine—something we have done all our
lives. It can run the risk of losing a sense of awe and mystery, but if we really sat down to pray and think about
the Mass, we might be surprised at how much we do not know and how many things there are for us to meditate
upon simply in the prayers, gestures and rites of Holy Mass. It is in this light that we begin our look at the parts of
the Mass from beginning to end.
Once we have readied ourselves for the Sacred Mysteries through this interior prayer and commitment, the
first thing we witness is an entrance procession accompanied by music. Processions accompany all forms of religious worship and can be seen in many examples of the Church’s liturgical life: Holy Mass, Eucharistic Processions, Palm Sunday Processions with Palms, Funeral Processions, etc. In Scripture, we find examples of processions with the Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel 6, 1 Kings 8) and our Savior’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem
(Mark 11, Matthew 21, Luke 19, and John 12). In all of these examples, the procession is a sign of triumph and
royalty as well as a reminder of our own Christian pilgrimage from this life to our eternal reward. As such, it is
fitting that the procession marks the beginning of the celebration of Holy Mass. We witness the triumphal entry
of the standard of our salvation—the cross—and are reminded that this life is fleeting and is a preparation of the
life to come. Our posture during this procession is standing, which is drawn from Sacred Scripture when the people of Israel “would rise up and worship” each time Moses entered the Tent of Meeting where the Tabernacle was
located (cf. Exodus 33:7-11). The entrance chant that accompanies this liturgical procession has as its purpose the
fostering of a disposition of movement toward the great Sacrifice that is about to take place. Even here, we see
the idea of journeying being very important.
Immediately following the procession, the Priest and Deacon kiss the altar. Originally, they would kiss the
altar above the relics of the martyrs that were contained within the altar; however, even when relics are not present, the Priest and Deacon kiss the altar as a sign of reverence for the Sacrifice about to take place upon it. The
tradition of using relics in the altar stems from the early Christian community who would gather in secret to celebrate the Eucharist in the Roman catacombs upon the tombs of martyrs who had died in the persecutions. If incense is to be used, the Priest then incenses the cross and the altar, accompanied by the Deacon. Incense is used
because it is representative of the Christian’s prayer, enkindled in the heart by the fire of God’s love and exhaling
the odor of Christ, rising up as a pleasing offering in His sight and demanded by God for due worship in the Old
Testament (cf. Exodus 30:4).
Following this, we begin with the Sign of the Cross. This is one of the most important symbols used
throughout all of Holy Mass and it is fitting because it is this great mystery that we celebrate in the Mass—the Sacrifice of Calvary. The priest then greets the people and they respond with: And with your spirit. This response is
an acknowledgment by the congregation of the grace and presence of Christ who is present in the soul of the celebrant in a unique way by virtue of his ordination. The priest alone stands in persona Christi, in the person of Christ.
He is Christ Himself at the Holy Mass at the words of consecration so that he can truly say: This is My Body. Our
response is a recognition of this supreme grace. Additionally, this phrase comes directly from St. Paul’s Letters.
In both Galatians and Philippians, Paul wrote, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren.
Amen.” In the second Letter to Timothy, the apostle concludes with, “The Lord be with your spirit.” The last
words of the letter to Philemon are “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.” Again illustrating the
supremely biblical nature of the Mass and how we must come to know the Scriptures in order to fully participate
and understand the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Finally, we note the first time the priest extends his hands when he greets the faithful, saying, “The Lord
be with you.” This posture serves several purposes throughout the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that will be explained in each instance, but the one common meaning that it conveys throughout is this: it is an image of the
Crucifixion. The priest extends his hands in a small open posture reflective of the extended arms of Christ on the
Cross: the supreme meeting place between God and Man! Again, we note the abundance of images of the Cross
that are used at Holy Mass, reflecting the central nature of the Cross to our life, the life of the Church, and Holy
Mass itself!

YEAR OF FAMILY AND FAITH
Amos deals with the excesses of greed ingrained
within each of us. Yet, none of our excesses is
missed or forgotten by the Lord.
The Gospel follows the theme presented by
Amos. In order to remain “stable” in the senses
of Society, we are tempted to work both God and
Man at the same time. If one fails, we are able to
negotiate with the other. We find ourselves doing
that at any given time in our lives.
Where are we making our choice daily, God or
Man?

Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Weekend of September 21/22 2013
In Jesus’ parable of the Unjust Steward, we
encounter a financial manager who has wasted his
master’s wealth and faces dismissal from his
position. To overcome the crisis confronting him,
the steward reduces some very considerable debts
owed by poor neighbors to his master in order to
help them out. Though the steward has sinned
against God and his master by squandering what
belongs to someone else, both the prudent way in
which he goes about resolving the crisis coupled
with relieving people who are in need can be seen
as a way to better steward the gifts entrusted to us
by God. Although good stewards today acknowledge that they may never use their God- given gifts
in a way that completely conforms to the demands
of the Gospel, a commitment to using their gifts
with prudence and for the purpose of helping their
neighbors wins God’s favor.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The Lord never forgets the sins of
those who take advantage of the poor (Amos 8:4-7).

We Are Called to Meet the Needs of Others
Our Stewardship of Ministry emphasis begins soon, and you will receive introductory material concerning
our effort in the mail. Through your study, you will learn more about this aspect of our Total Stewardship
program and have the chance to indicate your level of involvement, prayerfully considering the parish
ministries in which you’d most like to participate. In the first century, Jesus sent the disciples to focus
on the needs of others. As his followers, the disciples proclaimed the Gospel, healed the sick, cast out
evil spirits, and more. In obedience to that call, we too evangelize, we educate, we heal, and we work to
separate the sacred from the profane. Please begin to pray about your response.
Jesus encountered the poor, the needy and the hurting everywhere he went, and—especially as they
found in him the Healer, Restorer, and Redeemer—they found him often. Today, though we live in
communities blessed with almost unprecedented plenty, just as the Lord promised, we will always have
the poor and the needy with us. To his disciples, the Lord’s call was clear. “Proclaim the truth,” Jesus said.
“Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, and drive out demons.” It was a set of specific instructions
addressing particular needs. In the days ahead, you will have the opportunity to personalize your
commitment too, serving in particular ministries. We are called to meet the needs of others.
Living Stewardship Now
Decide which ministries and charities you will give your time and skills to in the year ahead. Call,
e-mail, or fill out a card to sign up. Keep track of your commitment, week by week.

PRIORIDADES
En la primera lectura, el profeta Amós se enfurece
contra todos aquellos tan avarientos que cierran sus ojos y su
corazón a las necesidades de los pobres entre ellos. Ganarse un
dólar es una cosa, dice Amós. Hacerlo a costa de los
desamparados es algo completamente distinto.
En la segunda lectura, Pablo nos recuerda nuestra
responsabilidad y deber de rezar. Hace un llamado a incluir a
todos en nuestra oración –una oración que debe distinguir la
vida diaria de los cristianos.
En el Evangelio, Jesús describe el intenso esfuerzo de
un astuto sirviente que ve aproximarse un “recorte” de
personal. Jesús lo admira y se pregunta por qué tanta astucia se
limita al mundo de los negocios. Jesús no entiende por qué
quienes buscan una “posición” en el Reino de Dios no son tan
ingeniosos y tan recursivos.

de octubre, mes del rosario. La Madre de Dios ha
pedido que la gente del mundo rece el rosario todos
los días para aumentar el número de conversions a
Dios y alcanzar una paz verdadera. Voluntarios
estarán regalando rosarios, escapularios y CDs
conteniendo los misterios gozosos, luminosos,
dolorosos y gloriosos.
Nuestra Feria de Artes Manuales será el sábado, 5 de
octubre de 9:00am- 5:00pm. Venga a disfrutar con su
familia y obtenga sus manualidades favoritas a precios
módicos. Si usted quiere participar como vendedor, todavia
hay espacio disponible. Llame al Centro Parroquial para
más información.
La mejor forma de apoyar a nuestros seminaristas es orar por ellos. Por favor,
oren esta semana por:

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
