LITURGY CORNER
“Lord, Teach Us To Pray”
In the early church writing called the
Didache (The Teaching of the Twelve
Apostles, probably second century),
we have the first “commandment”
about prayer: to pray the Our Father
“as the Lord bids us in His Gospel…
pray in this way three times a day.”
Traditional prayer times would be up‐
on rising, at midday, and upon retiring.
How many of us take time throughout
the day to pause and pray? With such
busy schedules, this can be difficult.
Choosing a specific time and being
persistent about honoring that time
for prayer helps.

Our second collection on the 5th Sundays of the month benefits the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
St. Vincent de Paul has always been actively helping with the needs of our community.
The Alameda Deanery recently welcomed a refugee family from Afghanistan
and we are helping them transition to a new life here in the United States. St. Vincent de Paul purchased furniture from the St. Vincent warehouse and donated
these items to the refugee family.
♦ Our parish conference donated $1,000 to the Alameda County St. Vincent District to help supply backpacks and school supplies to 150 children from Oakland’s
poorest families.
♦ The St. Vincent de Paul “Tiny Tickets Program” is collecting partially used BART
tickets. When they are turned in, St. Vincent will receive 100% of the unused value
on each ticket. Parishioners can place these partially used tickets in the poor boxes at St. Philip Neri or
St. Albert the Great church.
♦
Thank you for your generous support of this parish ministry!
Mercy: the Heart of Peace will continue the movement that has inspired many men and women of religion to
gather together to pray for peace since the first meeting, called by Pope John Paul II, in Assisi in 1986.
Thirty years after the first meeting, the Spirit of Assisi reaches the West Coast of the United States in the
Diocese of Oakland. The Meeting will embody the message that peace lies at the heart of religion, and that
believers are called to be peacemakers and instruments of mercy.
"There is something positive you and I can do to promote
peace: by coming together to pray and give common witness
to our desire for peace"

Luke 11: 1 reads, “Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when He had finished, one of His disci‐
ples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray….” The curious disciple did not ask Jesus what He was
praying rather he asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. The Lord’s prayer, taught by Jesus to
His disciples in the Gospel, is the only prayer Jesus left us. The disciple who came to Jesus did not
say, “Lord, teach me how to pray”. He was speaking on behalf of his companions too.
In the Lord’s Prayer, we do not pray, “My Father in Heaven,” nor “give me today my daily
bread.” It is not for ourselves alone that we are to ask not to be led into temptation, to be deliv‐
ered from evil. Even in such a personal matter as our own sins ‐ and surely our sins are ours alone,
we are not to ask forgiveness only for ourselves, nor others for themselves. We are together to
ask forgiveness for all of us. “Forgive us our sins …” This sort of prayer may sound humorous be‐
cause it is such a distortion of the faith of the Church. Our faith is not self‐referential, like a closed
circle. The faith of the church opens out towards others.
The Our Father is a communal prayer. We live as disciples among all the members of Christ’s mys‐
tical body. The Church, like the faith, is not a closed circle. We, like the Holy Spirit, need to always
seek our own growth and of the Church. So in turn, we pray not only for the church, but for all in
our world. For this reason, Jesus taught his disciple and invites us to pray “Our Father, who art in
Heaven…”.
There is always the danger that we will look at religion as merely a relationship between God and
ourselves. We are, however, a sinful community, supporting one another in our search for salva‐
tion.
The Lord’s Prayer is so central to our Christian experience that St. Teresa of Avila is supposed to
have said, when asked how to be a true contemplative, “You must simply say the Lord’s Prayer…
but you must say it very, very slowly!” The implication is that we will never exhaust the wisdom
found in this wonderful prayer which is so special because it was given to us by Jesus himself.

Daegeon Chamber Choir was founded in 1996 by the current conductor Joseph An. It was
named after St. Andrew Daegeon Kim, the first Korean Catholic priest and a martyr. The mem‐
bers of Daegeon Chamber Choir have been devoting themselves to studying and presenting early
church music in historically informed performance styles, while most members are not full‐time
musicians. The choir's focus is on the Renaissance and Baroque eras. Its concert series, often
with period instrument ensembles, has been inviting the audiences to a musical pilgrimage to old
Germany, England, Italy, Flanders, and Bohemia. Notably in 2014 and 2015, the choir made the
Korea premieres of two masterpieces by the Bohemian composer Jan Dismas Zelenka, who had
been forgotten for centuries but is gaining popularity in recent decades. This October, Daegeon
Chamber Choir will give its 20th anniversary concert in Seoul and Incheon with Bach's Cantata 214
and Zelenka's Te Deum.
We are thrilled to have the Daegeon Chamber Choir join us
on Saturday, July 30, 2016 at St. Philip Neri at the 5pm mass.
Reception to follow in O’Brien Hall.
