THE HEAVENLY BANQUET The mountain of the Lord described in today’s first reading is a place where there is no more hun-ger, no more weeping, and no more division of any kind. We need to pause and ponder these images every now and then, especially given the fact that we live in such a fractured world. The responsorial psalm continues to paint a picture of a place where only goodness and kindness flourish. These read-ings describe the heavenly banquet, to which God calls each of us through baptism and continues to call us throughout our lives. Let us “RSVP” to God’s invitation and live our lives consistent with gospel values so that one day we will be welcomed to the table of the kingdom. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In 1971, the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship completed a survey of the presidents of the national liturgical commissions around the world. How were children doing in the liturgical reform? Probably to their surprise, the cardinals learned of special weekday Masses for children designed to teach them how to participate on Sun-day, Masses with separate components for chil-dren. The decision was made quickly to develop adaptations for Masses where children were a ma-jority of the assembly. Changes would include a simpler structure, understandable texts, a simpli-fied Lectionary, more active participation, and most surprisingly, new Eucharistic Prayers. By 1973 the work was done, and with very specific advice from Pope Paul VI, including the need for two new Eucharistic Prayers, the Directory for Masses with Children was published on December 20, a timely Christmas gift for the children of the world. The prayers are the first to be written fresh in a modern language—not Latin, but French and Ger-man—then translated into English, Italian, and Spanish. With a sense of caution, these new pray-ers were approved for three years, until 1977, but it soon became apparent that they had truly been em-braced. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. YOUR ACTIONS COUNT- Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give luster, and many more people see than weigh. —Earl of Chesterfield GOD’S GOODNESS- Let us throw ourselves into the ocean of God’s goodness, where every failing will be cancelled and anxiety turned into love. —St. Paul of the Cross

DIVINE MERCY CONT. Souls perish in spite of My bitter Passion. I am giving them the last hope of salvation; that is, the Feast of My

Mercy. If they will not adore My mercy, they will perish for all eternity. Secretary of My mercy, write, tell souls about this great mercy of Mine, because the awful day, the day of My justice, is near. (965) In the Old Covenant I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart. I use punishment when they themselves force Me to do so; My hand is reluctant to take hold of the sword of justice. Before the Day of Justice I am sending the Day of Mercy. (1588)First, do not fight against a temptation by yourself, but disclose it to the confessor at once, and then the temptation will lose all its force. Second, during these ordeals do not lose your peace; live in My presence; ask My Mother and the Saints for help. Third, have the certitude that I am looking at you and supporting you. Fourth, do not fear either struggles of the soul or any temptations, because I am supporting you; if only you are willing to fight, know that the victory is always on your side. Fifth, know that by fighting bravely you give Me great glory and amass merits for yourself. Temptation gives you a chance to show Me your fidelity. (1560)
