The Revised Order of Baptism of Children – Part 3

, By

We continue our pastoral commentary on the second edition of the Order of Baptism of Children [OBC]. We return to the ritual at the Liturgy of the Word. Interestingly, paragraph 44 mentions all are seated for the “Biblical Readings and Homily,” even though the readings given in OBC 44 are all gospels. These are the […]

Eucharistic Witness (November/December 2020)

, By

John Thomas Lane, SSS Highland Heights, OH In my prayer life I can be very “literal” with God, basing my prayers on the sacred Scriptures as well as the many liturgical terms that surround my life. When I first learned in kindergarten that the Greek word “Eucharist” translated into the English word “thanksgiving,” I was […]

Memorial of the holy Guardian Angels How close can you get to God? Are we ever close enough?!? How is that bond and relationship in these days of even greater stress and anxiety? When loved ones die, many grieve and share that they have a new “guardian angel” in heaven to watch over them. It’s […]

There are many places in the gospel documenting the encounters Jesus and his disciples had with the scribes and Pharisees. Why did he “hang out with them?” Or did they follow him like reporters, asking questions? To learn? Interested or not? These keepers of the law, ritual, and tradition were like us: stewards of God, […]

The Revised Order of Baptism of Children – Part 2

, By

We continue our review of the second edition of the Order of Baptism of Children [OBC] and the general introduction of the order. Regularly, liturgists are wonderful about reading choices for solemnities, saints, and sacraments included in Eucharist. Paragraph 29 of the general introduction discusses the use of the particular Sunday Mass readings and an […]

Frequently during the liturgical year, we hear this reading to “take up our cross” and follow the LORD. Each day we embrace our cross and see where it takes us. Perhaps this is a stark reminder that each day we are also called to “let it go.” “Let It Go” is one of the most […]

Feast of Saint Thomas, Apostle Another first Friday and another apostle to reflect on: one who began with one reputation and ended with another. This apostle chose to take a doubting moment in his life and transform it into an evangelization lifetime, going to the ends of the earth (well, India), to spread his faith […]

Memorial of Saint Boniface We use the word “apostle” to describe the primary disciples of Jesus. Primary, and yet since the early church we attribute others this title, too, because of their charism to share the mission of Christ. Today we celebrate the “Apostle to the Germans,” Saint Boniface. His heart and soul were filled […]
