Attention All Volunteers: including Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers
and Ushers
In an effort to bring awareness about the vulnerability of children, and having a desire to protect the children, our Diocese has implemented a program entitled “Protecting God’s Children.” It is diocesan policy that all individuals who interact with children in any capacity within our church and school attend a “Protecting God’s Children” workshop and agree to a Criminal Background Check.
We are having a workshop here at Visitation on Wednesday, August 31, 2016, at 6:30 #.". in the Hospitality Room of the Parish Center. You need to register for the workshop online by going to: dioceseofjoliet.org. You will find at the bottom of the page an icon that says “Promise to Protect – Pledge to Heal”. Click on that. On the left-hand side of the page you will see “Virtus – Pro-tecting God’s Children”. Once you click on that, you will be taken to a page that allows you to see the workshop schedule. Again, our workshop is listed for August 31 at 6:30 #.". Please follow the directions at the top of the page to register for the workshop.
As you can see, there are many workshops scheduled throughout the diocese. If you can’t attend ours, please register for another one. We have enough room for thirty people. Just so that you know, we do not provide babysitting services. Also, once the workshop is started, latecomers will not be admitted and will be asked to reschedule.
If you have any questions, please contact me at the rectory.

News from the P.I.T. – Priest in Training
We are blessed at Visitation Parish to have two newly ordained men to the Holy Orders of Diaconate; Deacon Michael O’Ryan and Deacon Mike Iozzo. Being able to witness their ordination only brings great memories of my own ordination that happened merely three months ago. In the ordination rite both deacons were able to select two ordained men to vest them as a deacon, or in my ordination I had two priests vest me as a priest.
One priest I had selected to vest me was a priest I en-countered in college. He was an instrument of God’s love for me in the Sacrament of Confession. But, before he was a priest, he was a competitive weight lifter in high school and college! I was recently told one of his stories of how he annihilated the competition only to come home to see his Dad reading the paper. With pride in his heart, he told his dad about his great victory. His dad, unfazed, lowered the paper and said, “Son, physical strength is the weakest kind of strength.” His dad, who is a construction worker, raised the paper and continued to read. His dad took his son’s pride and humbled him. It seems kind of harsh not to share the joy of his son, but his dad was teaching him the ultimate lesson, one needs to turn to the Lord for true strength. Some say it may have worked because his son turned out to be a very holy priest.
In a certain sense, the Scripture this weekend is making that same point! God always exalts the lowly, the poor, the humble. And those who hold themselves in high esteem, filled with pride, are always humbled before the Lord. So the question the Gospel asks us is which one are you? Are you prideful and exalt yourself highly, or are you meek and humble of heart? For the Lord encourages us now, more than ever, to be humble before Him and others! Maybe it’s time for us to fall to our knees before our Crucified Lord and acknowledge the greatest strength of all, God’s uncon-ditional love for us!

Inspiration for the Week
Humility, rooted in a true knowledge of ourselves and our willingness to put the needs of others before us, is the hallmark of the Christian. Being truly humble allows us to bring a depth of wisdom to our relationships with God and others so that they can always be in proper order and on proper course.

FAITH FORMATION
Faith Matt-ers
By Matt Pozen—Director of Parish Faith Formation
The History and Development of the Mass (August 28, 2016)
Page 5
Let’s continue our look at the structure and flow of the Tridentine mass, the Latin mass which flowed from the Council of Trent (1545-1563) and lasted until Vatican II (1962-1965). (Remember that all of the texts of the mass, except the homily, were spoken or sung in Latin.) The mass was divided into two parts: the Mass of the Catechumens (Introductory Rites, Scripture readings, homily, Creed) and the Mass of the Faithful (eucharistic prayer and communion.) Last week we explored the introductory rites at the beginning of the Tridentine mass, so let’s move on from there.
The Scripture readings began with the priest going to one side of the altar, “the epistle side”, and proclaiming the first reading. In the Tridentine mass there were only two Scriptur-al readings, the Epistle and the Gospel. Both of these were from the New Testament, so the Old Testament was never read at mass (except for the Psalms that we sang.) The priest read the epistle in Latin, facing the altar, with his back to the people. He ended with the words, “Dominus vobis-cum” (“The Lord be with you”), to which the servers re-sponded, “Et cum spiritu tuo” (“And with your spirit.”) Then the choir broke into the Gradual or Sequence. This was based on a Psalm or Scripture, but it was not sung in the re-sponsorial style that we are accustomed to today. Then the priest proceeded to the other side of the high altar to read the Gospel, usually from Matthew. After this he gave a homily in the language of the people. Since the people couldn't hear or understand the Scripture readings, the homily was rarely based on these. Rather, in the homily the priest tended to fo-cus on some kind of doctrinal or moral teaching, oftentimes one of the articles of the Creed or one of the 10 Command-ments. Since churches were not air conditioned back then, many priests skipped the homily in the heat of the summer.
After the homily the choir sang the Creed, which began: “Credo in unum Deo” (“ I believe in one God…”). There were no Prayers of the Faithful in the Tridentine mass, so at this point the “Mass of the Catechumens” transitioned into the “Mass of the Faithful” with the offertory (preparation of the altar and gifts). The priest went to the high altar and kissed it (from this point on the priest had his back to the people). Then he took the paten with the large host on it, ele-vated it, and prayed that God would accept this “spotless host” in atonement for the sins of all present. Next he took the chalice, poured wine and a bit of water, and prayed a sim-ilar prayer of offering. After incensing the altar and gifts, the priest washed his hands at the side of the altar, praying that God would cleanse him of his sins that he might worthily offer the eucharistic sacrifice. Then he kissed the altar and said, “Oratres fratres” (“Pray brethren, that our sacrifice may be acceptable…”), to which only the servers responded. After silently offering the “Secret” prayer, which today is known as the Prayer over the Gifts, the priest began the Preface Dia-logue: “Dominus vobiscum” (“The Lord be with you”), to
which only the servers responded, “Et cum spiritu tuo” (“And with your spirit”). Then the priest prayed the Preface, a long prayer of praise and thanksgiving that led into the Roman Canon (the sole eucharistic prayer of the Roman Catholic Church from 600 to 1965.) At this point the bells were rung and all knelt for the singing of the Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Ho-ly).
The Roman Canon began with the priest saying, “Te igi-tur” (“We humbly pray”), and then he made three signs of the cross over the gifts as he prayed that God would accept the sacrifice on behalf of the Holy Catholic Church through-out the world. Then the “commemoration of the living” was followed by the “invocation of the saints”, where Mary, Jo-seph, Peter, Paul, the apostles, and early popes and saints of the Roman church were mentioned by name (a total of 24 names). Then the bells were rung again as the priest began the “oblation prayers”, when he extended his hands over the gifts, made the sign of the cross over them five times, and asked that they might become the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Notice that there was no invocation of the Holy Spirit over the gifts in the Roman Canon, as there are in the eucha-ristic prayers of the eastern churches. In the western Church and its Roman Canon, the sense was that words of Christ at the Last Supper recited by the priest was what change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, rather than the invocation of the Holy Spirit. Since Vatican II, the Ro-man Catholic Church has added 12 new eucharistic prayers to its repertoire, and all of these contain an invocation of the Holy Spirit over the gifts.
After the oblation prayers in the Roman Canon, the priest then prayed the words of consecration. These words have not changed in the Vatican II ritual, other than being spoken out loud by the priest in the vernacular language, facing the peo-ple. Since these were uttered silently in the Tridentine mass, the bells were rung in order to signal this most sacred mo-ment of the mass. In the Tridentine mass there was no Me-morial Acclamation after the consecration (such as, “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.”) Rather, the priest simply continued on with the rest of the Roman Canon. In this second half of the prayer the priest explicitly offered up to the Father the consecrated bread and wine, and asked that this sacrifice might be accepted by God like the gifts of Abel, Abraham, and Melchizedek from the Old Testament. Then prayers for the dead were offered, asking that they and us might be admitted into the company of the saints in heav-en. Fifteen saints of the early church were mentioned by name, and seven of them were women. Finally, the Roman Canon ended with a great doxology, offered to the Father through, with, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. To this the choir and people responded with the “Great Amen.” Next week we’ll look at the concluding rites of the Tridentine mass.

*How long have you been a Visitation parishioner?
My family and I have been parishioners at Visitation for almost 17 years.

riage this weekend. We have three children: Emily, 13 yrs., Sylvia, 11 yrs., and Will, 7 yrs. They all attend school at Visitation.
*What do you enjoy about CCW?
What I enjoy most about the CCW is getting to know other women of the parish through CCW social and service events. I love knowing that there are so many great women in our community who share our beautiful faith.
*How do you “let your faith radiate” into the com-munity? What are some volunteer roles you have taken on?
Last year, I served on the CCW board as treasurer. Throughout the year, I met and worked with so many in-credible women who gave generously of their time and talents. It inspired me to share the gifts and talents God has given me to help others in our community.

Visitation Mission Statement Visitation Parish, a Roman Catholic Community in the Diocese of Joliet-in-Illinois, seeks to draw all to Jesus Christ, reve-lation of the Father and font of the Holy Spirit, by celebrating the Sacraments, educating people of all ages in the Truths of the Catholic Faith, and reaching out to those who are physically, emotionally or spiritually in need.
New Parishioners, Welcome! Call or stop in the Rectory Office to register as a member of Visitation Parish.
Baptisms Most Sundays at 1:30 #.". Parents are required to take a Baptism Preparation Class beforehand. Classes are held every other month, so please plan ahead. Call the Rectory for information. Marriages Arrangements must be made at the Rectory at least six months in advance. Catholic parties must obtain a NEWLY issued certificate of their Baptism and then contact the Rectory before making any other
arrangements. Weddings scheduled at 12:00 or 2:00 #.". on Saturday. NO Sunday Weddings. Funerals It is the responsibility of the parish to bury their dead. The funeral director will contact the parish
regarding arrangements. No specific offering is required for the parish in connection with the funeral liturgy. Perpetual Adoration Chapel The Perpetual Adoration Chapel of Our Lady, Mother of the Eucharist, is available 24 hours a day for private prayer and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, exposed on the Altar. The Chapel is located in the Convent building (south of the church). St. Peregrine Novena Devotions in honor of Saint Peregrine, the patron saint of those who suffer with cancer are held the third Monday of every month at 7:00 #.". in the church.
