Corpus Christi. This Sunday’s celebration is the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of
Christ. In this celebration, we look at Christ the victim. Jesus Christ, who obediently
did the Father’s will, died on the Cross as the only sacrifice for the redemption of the
sins of humanity.
The Mass is a sacrifice. At the holy sacrifice of the Mass, Jesus is the victim, the
Body and Blood that we share at Holy Communion. The Body of Christ that we
receive as the Eucharist is also called host.
Here is an interesting excerpt from Alateia, which is a modified write-up of the
reflection of Fray José Ariovaldo da Silva, OFM, about how the Eucharist also came
to be known as host:
“The Romans referred to a vanquished enemy offered to the gods as a hostis.
The term became common in Western Christianity because of its use in the Vulgate to signify sacrifice.
Thus “host” came to refer to the greatest victim of human aggression: God-made-man, crucified and
risen.
Christians adopted the word “host” to refer to the immolated Lamb who was risen and present in the
Eucharist. It came to signify the reality that Christ himself unveiled at the Last Supper: “This is my body …
this is my blood, poured out for you.”
The consecrated bread is thus a “host,” the true host, the true victim, the Body of the Risen One, once
mortally assaulted by human evil and now alive among us, surrendered to us as food and drink: Take and eat.”
o0o
Reverence to the Paschal Victim. I wonder how we truly believe that Christ is truly present in the
Eucharist. Observing our practices, I somehow dismissed the possible truth that we have misunderstood the
sacredness of the Eucharist that we receive at Mass and the Eucharist that we reserve in the Tabernacle or the
Eucharistic Adoration Chapel.
Fray da Silva observes that “much of the significance of the word “host” has been lost, and it has come
to refer simply to the circular piece of unleavened bread, both before and after consecration.”
At the Mass, we are invited to a full and conscious participation in the mysteries we celebrate. This
invitation is sound due to the very nature of the focus of the celebration. The Body and Blood of Christ, the
sacrifice for the redemption of humanity, must be held with high respect and honor due to the very nature of
the mystery that the Eucharist is. Fray da Silva said, “To adore this “host” is to surrender oneself to the
mystery so as to live it day after day. And to enter into Communion with this “host” is to assimilate this
mystery in the whole of our being so as to become like Christ: a victim, given in service to our brothers.”
o0o
To make Eucharistic adoration our devotion, we have the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel made for 24
hours/seven days available. Consider visiting the chapel and experience the benefits of being in communion
with Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament. Also the altar of reservation (Tabernacle) is now placed in the
sanctuary, the place of reverence for the reserved Body of Christ. The Tabernacle in the sanctuary invites us to
draw ourselves fully to the celebrations we do every Sunday.
Corpus Christi. La celebración de este domingo es la Solemnidad del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. En esta
celebración, nos fijamos en Cristo la víctima. Jesucristo, que hizo obedientemente la voluntad del Padre, murió en la cruz
como el único sacrificio por la redención de los pecados de la humanidad.
La misa es un sacrificio. En el santo sacrificio de la misa, Jesús es la víctima, el cuerpo y la sangre que
compartimos en la Santa Comunión. El Cuerpo de Cristo que recibimos en la Eucaristía también se conoce como la
hostia.
(continua en la pagina próxima)
He aquí un extracto interesante desde Alateia, que es un relato modificado de la reflexión de Fray José Ariovaldo
da Silva, OFM, acerca de cómo la Eucaristía también llegó a ser conocido como la hostia:
"Los romanos se referían a un enemigo vencido ofrecido a los dioses como hostias.
El término se hizo común en el cristianismo occidental debido a su uso en la Vulgata para significar el sacrificio.
Así la "hostia" llegó a referirse a la mayor víctima de la agresión humana: Dios hecho hombre, muerto y
resucitado.
Los Cristianos adoptaron la palabra "hostia" para referirse al Cordero inmolado que fue resucitado y presente en
la Eucaristía. Que vino a significar la realidad de que Cristo mismo dio a conocer en la última cena: "Este es mi cuerpo ...
esta es mi sangre, derramada por vosotros."
El pan es consagrado, pues, una "hostia", la verdadera hostia , la verdadera víctima, el Cuerpo del Resucitado,
una vez mortalmente asaltado por la maldad humana y ahora vivo entre nosotros, se entregó por nosotros como alimento
y bebida: Tomar y comer ".
o0o
Reverencia a la Víctima pascual. Me pregunto cómo realmente creemos que Cristo está realmente presente en la
Eucaristía. La observación de nuestras prácticas, de alguna manera desestima la posible verdad que hemos entendido mal
el carácter sagrado de la Eucaristía que recibimos en la misa y la Eucaristía que reservamos en el Tabernáculo o en la
capilla de Adoración Eucarística.
Fray da Silva observa que "gran parte del significado de la palabra" hostia "se ha perdido, y se ha llegado a
referirse simplemente a una pieza circular de pan sin levadura, tanto antes como después de la consagración."
En la misa, se nos invita a una participación plena y consciente en los misterios que celebramos. Esta invitación
es escuchado debido a la propia naturaleza del enfoque de la celebración. El cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo, el sacrificio
por la redención de la humanidad, deben realizarse con gran respeto y honor debido a la naturaleza misma del misterio
que es la Eucaristía. Fray da Silva dijo: "Adorar a esta" hostia "es entregarse al misterio para vivir día tras día. Y para
entrar en comunión con esta "hostia" es asimilar este misterio en la totalidad de nuestro ser con el fin de llegar a ser
como Cristo: una víctima, dado en el servicio a nuestros hermanos ".
o0o
Para hacer la adoración eucarística nuestra devoción, tenemos la capilla de Adoración Eucarística que se ha
hecho 24 horas / disponibles los siete dias. Considere la posibilidad de visitar la capilla y experimentar los beneficios de
estar en comunión con Cristo presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. También en el altar (Tabernáculo) que esta colocado
ahora en el santuario, el lugar de respeto y reservado al Cuerpo de Cristo. El Tabernáculo en el santuario nos invita a
entregarnos plenamente a las celebraciones que hacemos todos los domingos.

For the repose of the souls of all the faithful departed: George Poorman, Randall
Here is the concluding part of the previous article written by Fr. Richard Heilman which I have included in the bulletin in parts. In the previous issues of the bulletin, Fr. Heilman was talking about his epiphany to
the sense of the sacred when he was assigned in a parish. In his assignment as a parish priest, he discerned
about the “situation’ of the liturgy and found that worship has never been in disarray due to differing approaches done with the Mass after the Vatican II. Fr. Heilman is convinced that to go back to the sacred, one must
experience awe to the glory of God. Awe and wonder before the Lord, he said, is an effective way to receive
the blessings of the Holy Spirit. But the evil one has designed tactics that take us away from this awe and wonder. The two strategies of the evil are 1. Cut us off from supply lines and 2. Divide and conquer. Here is the
continuation and final words of Fr. Heilman.
AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL THOSE LOOKING
TO RESTORE A SENSE OF THE SACRED (Part IV)
Fr. Richard Heilman
April 11, 2016
THE STRATEGY
2) Divide and conquer – The second modern tactic of the devil is actually the very ancient military
strategy of “divide and conquer.” This strategy is defined as one that separates a force that would be stronger if
united. As we said, the devil is roaming around like a lion that sizes up the herd to find the easiest target. He is
also watching to see who is separated from the herd. Large, coordinated forces are difficult to defeat. If the
enemy can separate us into small units or individuals, he can more easily defeat each one.
In 1957, just two years before the call for the Second Vatican Council and the crisis of faith that
followed, and just before the revolutionary decade of the 1960s, Sister Lucia (the primary seer at Fatima) said:
“The devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Blessed Virgin, as he knows what it is
that offends God the most, and in a short space of time will gain for him(self) the greatest number of souls.
Thus the devil does everything to overcome the souls consecrated to God, because in this way he will succeed
in leaving the souls of the faithful abandoned by their leaders, thereby the more easily will he seize them.”
“Strike the shepherd and the sheep scatter” (Zec 13:7). There’s no doubt that the devil has focused his assault
on the religious leaders of our day. While these leaders may have had noble intentions of charity and pastoral
sensitivity, the results have been devastating. Decades of lenient, non-confrontational leadership have left the
faithful feeble and prone to be “conformed to the pattern of this world” (Rom 12:2). St. Augustine once said,
“Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.”
The unfortunate laxity of discipline has permitted confusion and strife where there should be clarity
and harmony, an authentic unity based on the truth. As a result, the modern trend among those who believe and
teach falsehoods that directly contradict the Church’s teaching is to consider these pockets of dissent as merely
“differing tribes” within the Catholic Church. In this deceptive tribal system, those who believe in and teach
all that the Church teaches are then considered extreme among these tribes.
Right or wrong, religious leadership seemed to calculate that it is better to refrain from “charged
issues” for fear of offending some or even losing members. However, St. Peter Canisius cautioned: “Better that
only a few Catholics should be left, staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they should, remaining
many, desire as it were to be in collusion with the Church’s enemies and in conformity with the open foes of
our faith.”
It is counter-productive if we have “some” parishes looking to restore a sense of the sacred, while
others do not. This is a growing phenomenon that only sees parishioners picking and choosing the parish
“doing the Mass” the way they like. It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. The older we get, the more we
tend to stick with “the way we have done it before.” For the most part, we are seeing older adults choosing the
modernized version of the Mass because they have grown accustomed to it. In the meantime, young adults find
this modern version kitschy and mundane, and many end up leaving the practice of their faith altogether.
However, there is growing evidence that, when these younger adults find parishes who are working hard to
restore a sense of the sacred, they return to the faith. Younger adults seem more open and drawn to this sense
of the sacred that assists them in breaking through to that trigger gift of awe and wonder.
Because of these differences, parishes then end up making their “directional choice” based on “what
will attract the most,” rather than what is actually the right thing to do. Since older adults tend to maintain their
practice of the faith, most parishes resist losing their parishioners to the neighboring parish by working toward
a restoration of the sense of the sacred.
It is time to “rally the troops” … to get on the same page. It’s time to assemble a coalition of leading
experts in our time to formulate “the plan” to “Restore a Sense of the Sacred.” There are obvious names that
come to mind: Cardinal Burke, Bishop Schneider, Fr. John Zuhlsdorf, and a score of Cardinals, Bishops,
priests and laity who understand this critical need in our time; a time that is witnessing a mass exodus from the
pews, and is allowing a multitude of souls to be in peril of eternal damnation. It’s time for this coalition to
work with Cardinal Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the
Sacraments, in designing the plan that all parishes will be instructed to follow.
Is this the first move? One would hope. But, if this call for a coalition would, at first, go unheeded,
would that then mean developing a petition to circulate, in order to emphasize the widespread call for such a
coalition?
IN CONCLUSION
I wrote this letter as a simple parish priest who laments, day by day, the many souls being swept away
by secular trends and fads (inside and outside of our Church), leaving their souls in great peril of eternal
damnation. I can’t find it in me to just sit by and allow that to happen, while I am convinced there is, in fact, a
solution to save many of these souls. Some find it easy to talk about such things as “the Church does not so
much move in years, but in centuries,” as a way to dismiss our need to do anything drastic in our times. While
that may be true, I also know that the disintegration of the liturgy and the stripping out of our churches were
inflicted, virtually, overnight. Call me a dreamer, but I believe this restoration can occur as quickly as did the
disintegration.
Finally, for those who believe such a restoration is too difficult; that such things as sacred music is
beyond the talents of most typical parishes, I wanted to share this video entitled “Cor Mariae Choir sings Ave
Verum Corpus” on Youtube. (Look it up.) These eight teenage girls from rural Wisconsin had virtually no
professional training. Yes … they were self-taught. They just decided this was important, and proceeded to go
about to make it happen.
Where there is a will, there is a way!

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ –
Corpus Christi – May 29
"When, in adoration, we contemplate the
consecrated Host…we discover the greatness of this gift,
but we also discover the Passion, the Cross of Jesus and
His resurrection." (Pope Benedict XVI, Corpus Christi,
6/15/06) "The feast of Corpus Christi is a propitious
occasion to deepen one's faith and love of the
Eucharist…(nourish yourselves frequently with the
Body and Blood of Christ, our spiritual food). You will
advance on the path of holiness." The Eucharist is
"support, light and consolation in trial and suffering."
Find in this sacrament "the spiritual energy to live the
great love of Christ of which he gave us proof when
giving us His Body and Blood." "I invite the Christian
community to join this ceremony of profound faith in the
Eucharist which is the precious treasure of the Church
and of humanity." (Pope Benedict, 6/14/2006)
Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel

Infant Baptism Class
For those from birth thru first
grade
A note from the Director:
A great big thank you to all the catechists who led our children through
another year of faith formation. With their help, our parish was able to
serve almost 200 children from the age of 3—6th grade. This number
includes over 100 children receiving First Reconciliation and First Eucharist
this year! As this was my first year in this position, I was able to spend
time observing and learning how this program works. One thing that was
resoundingly clear was the amount of caring and preparation put in by
each catechist. The children of our parish were definitely in good hands! I
was additionally pleased to witness the commitment and support from the
families and parishioners. It is through all our parish family working
together that we continue to build our faith community for many
generations. I am excited to see where the next few years will take us!

Marriage Enrichment Presentation…
Presentation by
Martin Gay, MS, LPC, NCC
St. Mary’s Parish
Gathering Space
706 Ellsworth SW, Albany
7:00 – 8:30pm
Wednesday, June 1, 2016, Relationship Skills for Couples:
Sexuality. In this workshop we’ll examine the strong association between sexual satisfaction and
relationship satisfaction, and demonstrate the role of effective communication in fostering sexual
satisfaction. We’ll also discuss how differences in sexual desire can be managed, and how changing life
circumstances, such as stress and having children, can impact on sexuality. We’ll describe the nature of
common sexual problems. We’ll describe and challenge some common myths that may lead to unrealistic
sexual expectations.
There is no cost, but please call 541-926-1449 to register ahead. Thank you.
Tetzel’s Celebration
June 5th beginning at 11am
Thank you to those who chipped in to make this celebration possible for Tetzel! Tetzel has been such a big
part of our parish, especially with the youth, we want to let him know in no uncertain terms how much we
appreciate him and wish him well. Please join us at his Mass of Thanksgiving for becoming a priest on
Sunday, June 5th at 11am. Immediately following there will be a reception in the Gathering Space and the
Gym. Thank you so much for helping make this a terrific day of Thanksgiving for Father Tetzel!
See you there!
Notice of Upcoming Big Events & Crowded Parking
Just to give everyone a heads-up about crowded seating and parking conditions for the following event:
June 5th - Graduation Mass will be at the 8:30 am Mass with a reception following, then Tetzel will have his
Thanksgiving Mass as a new priest at 11 am, with a LARGE reception to follow.
At all Masses this day, participants can expect snug seating and packed parking. With the receptions
between, there won’t be the usual clearing of cars between Masses. We recommend those who have the
option of attending Saturday evening Mass instead of the ones mentioned above may not only be more
comfortable, but would also lighten the load for participants in the big events. Anyone who will be attending
the big events - maybe you can work out carpooling? Or - just expect to park a ways out. We hope to block
off more parking for those who need to park closer for health reasons. Please respect any cones or signs that
are posted. Thank you for your understanding.
St. Mary’s will honor veterans at our 8:30am Mass Monday,
May 30th. There will be coffee and cookies in the Gathering
Space after Mass. You are then invited to participate in the
local ceremonies to honor our veterans.
The ceremony in Timber Linn will last about an hour, there
will be a guest speaker from the command staff of the
Oregon National Guard followed by the laying of wreaths to
honor those who have died in service to their country. Taps
will be sounded by bugle, and a NROTC Honor Guard will fire
a 21 gun rifle salute. Following the ceremony, all attendees
and participants in the ceremony will retire to Post 10 of the
American Legion for a free spaghetti luncheon.
