The Pastor is IN...
In our visual age, the power and beauty that small details can (or should) have may be lost on us. The vestments the priest wears are truly symbols that can lead us to God and towards a great and more beautiful participation in His mysteries. They also help us to recall the mission that all priests have. When the priest vests (gets dressed) for Mass he is literally putting on Christ as it is truly Christ the High Priest who is the celebrant of every Mass as the priest acts in persona Christi capitis (in the person of Christ the Head). As he vests, he is reminded of this through not only the symbolism of the vestments but also the special prayers attached to each one. Just like in our baptism every believer puts on Christ so the priest, in a unique way, does this every time he celebrates The Eucharistic Liturgy.
Amice: (Latin: amictum which refers to a covering in the sense of military headgear) is the first part of the liturgical attire worn under the alb. Nnow optional, the amice is a rectangular cloth placed over the shoulders, tucked in around the neck over the priest’s street clothing and secured around the waist with two cloth ribbons. The amice was originally a cape that the priest wore over his head known as the “helmet of salva-tion” (Ephesians 6:17). This is given witness to by the prayer the priest would recite when putting on the amice: “Place upon me, O Lord, the helmet of salvation, that I may overcome the assaults of the devil.” It also recalls the cloth that the Roman soldiers used to blindfold Jesus while they beat him. As time would have it the amice was also seen as having more practical uses. In the middle-ages it was used as a scarf to keep the priest’s neck warm in the cold drafty churches. Another practical use was to protect the expensive gold embroidered vestments of the middle-ages from the sweat and body oils of the priest.
Alb: (Latin: albus meaning white) Worn over the amice. The alb symbolizes the garment of the newly baptized, also the purity of soul required for Mass, (Matthew 5:8), in addition, the garment in which Pilate clothed Christ. The prayer that can be offered when donning the alb references Revelation 7:14, “Make me white, O Lord, and cleanse my heart; that being made white in the blood of the Lamb I may deserve an eternal reward.”
Cincture: (from the Latin for girdle or belt) The cincture is the cord used to gather the alb at the waist. Usually white, but it can be the color of the day or liturgical season. In the symbolism of the liturgical vestments, the cincture represents the virtue of self-mastery, which St. Paul also counts among the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). The corresponding prayer, taking its cue from the first Letter of Peter (1:13), saying, "Gird me, O Lord,
with the cincture of purity, and quench in my heart the fire of concupiscence, that the virtue of continence and chastity may abide in me.”
Maniple: A length of cloth hung over the left arm, symbolizing several things: the chains that bound Jesus' hands, the burden of sin, the fatigue of priestly service. It developed from a handkerchief type cloth, which St. Alphonsus Liguori noted was often needed by priests to wipe away their tears during the celebration of the Mass. While it fell into disuse after the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council it was never abrogated and can be used today. The prayer while putting on the maniple is “May I be made meritorious, O Lord, to bear a maniple of weeping and sorrow, so that I might receive with exaltation labor's reward.”
Stole: A cloth hanging around the neck recalling the rope tied around Jesus that led Him through the streets of Jerusalem to His crucifixion. The stole is an article of enormous importance, which, more than any other garment, indicates the state of ordained office. Like the cincture, the stole can be, and, usually is, the color of the day, or liturgical season. Putting on the stole, the priest recites this prayer, "Lord, restore the stole of immortality, which I lost through the collusion of our first parents, and, unworthy as I am to approach Thy sacred mysteries, may I yet gain eternal joy.”
Chasuble: (from the Latin word casula meaning “house”) The outer and the last of the vesture, also is the color of the day or the liturgical season. The traditional symbolism of the chasuble is that it represents charity covering a multitude of sins, as this liturgical vestment covers the individuality of the priest with the priestly role of the High Priest, Jesus Christ. The chasuble also symbolizes the royal robe thrown over Jesus by the Roman soldiers as they mocked Him and crowned Him with thorns. The prayer for when donning the chasuble is; “O Lord, who has said, "My yoke is sweet and My burden light," grant that I may so carry it as to merit Thy grace.”
The chasuble has gone through many different designs over the centuries. Even today one may see a Canonical, Bernadine Gothic, Modified Gothic, French, Spanish, German, Austrian, Polish, Swiss, Galican or American Roman style vestment. Any and all of these are permitted to be worn by a priest or bishop celebrating Mass.
We’ll continue next week with liturgical colors.
St. Edward, pray for us. Treu in Christus, faithfully in Christ, Fr. Rod

I was thinking the other day what a great
time it is to be a person of faith.
Given the fact that we seem to be living in
a post-truth era, a time when identifying
and knowing what is the truth about any
given issue seems to be all but impossible.
When I was growing up in the 60’s and
70’s it seemed as though people expected
others under most circumstances to tell
the truth as best they knew it, even politi-
cians, perhaps only by way of naivete of
their constituents, were expected to be
truthful and sincere in their claims. The
media, which consisted of TV, Newspaper,
and Radio for the most part, prided itself
on a level of objectivity and fairness in
reporting, and any bias, if exposed, was
treated with disdain. This is not to say that
we could trust everything we heard
reported but the overall sense was that
news was real and not fake, and that the
truth was more likely than not present in
what was reported.
Today of course that is not the case. We
live in a world dominated by biased
reporting, fake news, and social media,
that reflects a seemingly total disregard
for the truth in any area of reporting or
discussion. Instead of a sense of absolute
or real truth there is a new concept of
relative or relational truth which defines
the truth of the matter in terms of what
one person or another believes to be true
in light of their experience. Therefore I can
claim whatever I wish with regard to a
profession, group, or class of people and
as long as I believe it based on my
experience of that group, real or imagined.
I can present whatever I choose as truth
and anyone who dares disagree or counter
my freedom of expression will be dealt
with severely.
This is why it is wonderful as Catholic
Christians to have a legitimate, undeniable
source of truth available to us in this truth
starved world. For in Jesus Christ the
whole of God’s truth has been made
manifest. As disciples of Jesus we are
called to continue in his word so to know
the truth that will make us free, the truth
that sanctifies (CCC 2466). And this truth,
that is Jesus Christ and the sacramental
life he offers us in the church, is
exceptionally comforting during this
seemingly truth absent chaotic period we
are living in.
Having grown up in South Florida, when I
first moved to Steubenville, Ohio at age 33
I had no experience whatsoever with
snow. So when I got caught driving my
young family through a major snow storm
on a day trip to Columbus, Ohio, I was to
say the least, quite uncomfortable. While
the storm continued to rage, and major
interstates were closed, my sister-in-law
offered us respite in her newly rented,
although not yet furnished, apartment.
With bare walls, a carpeted floor, a
working furnace, and little else, I was
never so happy and comfortable to have a
place to stay until the storm was over and
the roads were cleared.
In this credibility snowstorm of fake-news
and half- truths that rages around us, our
faith and our Lord offer us much more
than an unfurnished apartment of truth.
He invites us into the mansion of His word
and offers us the banquet of his Body and
Blood. A source of undeniable truth and
comfort that will carry us through this
period of doubt and uncertainty with a
cornerstone anchored faith that can only
come from He who is the way, the truth,
and the life.
So in spite of the challenges that surround
us, both outside and inside the church,
with confidence in the Holy Spirit’s
guidance, it is a time worthy of hope filled
celebration. For our light of truth still
shines brightly in the darkness, leading us
forward and calling us home.
