Blessed Advent, Gerry Tomlinson, Education Chair CDA Court #2574
Treasures of the Church, Wednesday, December 6 at 7:00PM – Treasures of the Church is a ministry of evangelization of the Catholic Church. Run by Fr. Carlos Martins of the Companions of the Cross, its purpose is to give people an experience of the living God through an encounter with the relics of his saints in the form of an exposition. Each exposition begins with a multi-media presentation on the church’s use of relics that is scriptural, catechetical and devotional, leading to a renewal of the Catholic faith for many people. After the teaching, those in attendance have an opportunity to venerate the relics of some of their favorite saints. Your are encouraged to bring your articles of devotion (such as rosaries, holy cards, etc.) and pictures of ill friends/family members which you will be able to touch to the reliquaries as a means of intercession. An exposition involves some 150 relics, including those of St. Maria Goretti, St. Therese of Lisieux (the “Little flower”), St. Francis of Assisi, St Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Faustina Kowalska. The supreme highlight is one of the largest relics of the Church’s claim to the True Cross in the world and a piece of the Veil that, according to sanctioned tradition, is believed to have belonged to Our Lady.

Vocation Intercession: Let us pray that all those who serve may always be faithful witnesses of Christ’s love and examples of charity and compassion.
Come Lord Jesus! Turning Toward the Lord: In the rapidly-approaching Season of Advent the Church exhorts us to prepare the way for the Lord’s coming.
Liturgy is the public worship of God. Liturgy is not something we create. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (called in the Eastern Catholic Church the “Divine Liturgy”) is a gift given to us by God, handed down to us through Apostolic tradition. Pope Benedict XVI taught that real liturgy implies that God reveals how we can worship Him and requires some kind of “institution” not arising from our own creativity (which would just be mere self-affirmation).
The priest, in persona Christi, mediates and intercedes for the people to God. From earliest times in the Church this was done in the Mass with the congregation and the priest facing liturgical East. This “orientation” (from the Latin for East) is a simple expression of looking to Christ as the meeting place between God and man. The rising sun – historically and in Scripture symbolizing the coming of Christ – rises in the East (orient) which calls to mind the rising of the Son of God from the dead and His coming again.
The tradition of facing East in Christian liturgy goes back to the very beginnings of the Church. Such a reality of a sacred direction in prayer was practiced by the Jews who faced Jerusalem in prayer.
Most churches in the early Church were built, when possible, facing East so that priest and congregation would face in the same direction, namely, towards the East. Even those churches where it was not possible to physically face East, at least symbolically priest and people were turned together toward the Lord.
It is clear, then, that the practice of priest and people together facing in the same direction during the Mass – facing the Lord who rises in the East – has been the universal custom of the Church since earliest times. Although today we are accustomed to it, the practice of the priest facing the people (versus populum) during the Eucharistic Prayer of the Mass – which is actually addressed to our Heavenly Father – is a most recent innovation allowed as an option approximately 50 years ago. The Church never mandated this change and, in fact, the “how-to manual” for the celebration of the Mass – the General Instruction of the Roman Missal Third Typical Edition along with the Roman Missal itself – presume that priest and people together are facing the same direction for most of the Mass!
¡Ven Señor Jesús! Volverse hacia el Señor: Rápidamente se nos acerca la temporada de Adviento la Iglesia nos exhorta a preparar el camino para la venida del Señor. La Liturgia es la adoración pública de Dios. La liturgia no es algo que nosotros creamos. El Santo Sacrificio de la Misa (llamado en la Iglesia Católica del Este “ La Liturgia Divina”) Es un regalo dado a nosotros por Dios entregada a nosotros a traves de la tradición Apostólica . El Papa Benenedicto XVI enseño que la verdadera Liturgia implica que Dios revela como debemos adorarlo y requiere algo de ”institución“ no derivada de nuestra propia creatividad (que seria mera autoafirmación ). El sacerdote, in persona Christi, mediante y entercede por la gente de Dios. En los tiempos tempranos de la Iglesia esto era hecho durante la Misa con la congregación y el sacerdote mirando litugicamente hacia el Este. Esta “orientación “(del Latín para el Este)es una simple expresión mirando al Cristo como el lugar de un encuentro entre Dios y el hombre. El sol levantándose - historicamente y en las Escrituras simboliza la venida de Cristo - levantándose en el Este ( oriental)cual llama a la mente el levantamiento del Hijo de Dios de la muerte y su venida otra vez. La tradición de frente al Este en la Liturgia Cristiana va hacia los primeros principios de la Iglesia. La realidad de una dirección de sacreto en oración fue practicada por los judíos que se enfrentaron a Jerusalén en oración. En las mayoría de las iglesias en la Iglesia primitiva eran construidas, cuando sea posible, frente al Este para que el sacerdote y la congregación enfrentaran en la misma dirección, normalmente, hacia el Este. Incluso aquellas iglesias donde no era posible físicamente dar la cara al Este, por lo menos simbólicamente el sacerdote y el pueblo volteavan juntos hacia el Señor. Es claro, entonces, que la práctica de sacerdote y personas juntas en la misma dirección durante la Misa -hacia el Señor que se levanta en el Este - ha sido la costumbre universal de la Iglesia desde los tiempos más tempranos. Aunque hoy estamos acostumbrados a ella, la práctica del sacerdote frente a la gente (versus populum) durante la Oracion Eucarística de la Misa-que en realidad se trata a nuestro Padre celestial - es una innovación reciente permitió como una opción hace aproximadamente 50 años. La Iglesia nunca mandato este cambio y, de hecho, el "cómo - al manual" para la celebración de la Misa-La Instrucción General del Misal Romano tercera edición típica junto con el Missal Romano sí mismo-precedir que juntos el sacerdote y el pueblo hacia la misma dirección para la mayoría de la Misa!
