Lower the Nets – Closing RiteYou can let us know you've listened here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=p4tfwKotGUCwzFhJyZWf3Jwac4iA34ZHn6whLWZ8SFVUNUJESzU3Mk9LMko2M1ZLT00xOVpXT1g5Mi4u.

  1. Introduction
  2. Abiding Together
    1. After we receive Holy Communion it is the best time to abide with Jesus in personal prayer with Jesus in THE Heart (both from the heart and really He is one with us)
    2. Jesus sits in victory, and we sit with Him (cf Lk 22: 28-30)
      1. We’ve hopefully spent ourselves over the course of the week being the mouth, hands, and feet of Jesus and ‘are those who have continued with Him in the trials)
      2. We’ve eaten and drunk with the Lord Jesus at table
  3. Now we sit to set things right (to judge). Sitting here is not done out of lazyiness but a symbol of the co-missioning because of what comes next. (Blake used to think it was holier to kneel until the final prayer but my attitude has changed)
  4. Go in peace as “The Great Permission”
    1. Bishop Barron homily about Genesis and God’s permission to everything in the garden except what brings death
    2. Go and have life and share it
    3. So opposed to “ugh, God demands all these things and prohibits all these things.”
  5. Quote from Mother Mary Francis book that was a good challenge for Sr. Fiat Marie
    1. What have you done with your vocation? (not accusation or judgement)
    2. What have you done with your baptismal promises? With forgiveness? With the Eucharist? With Confirmation?
      1. Not that WE DO IT ALL
      2. Have we entrusted our life to that grace or is it MY life and MY plans
    3. Trust in God’s providence as He sends you out and be open to grace and following where He calls.
  6. Lower nets challenge: Make attending at least one daily Mass as a family a habit

Fr. Ben Holdren, describes prayer as shifting our focus off of ourselves and onto God. At the heart of prayer is our relationship with the Living God. From that flows our identities, Beloved Sons and Daughters. Secure in our identities we cooperate with Him in our Mission. We falter when we seek after our own mission first, thinking our identity is found in this world, and cultivating our relationships to secure this false identity.

In this month's episode Sr. Fiat Marie and Blake Vajgrt reflect on the Liturgy of the Eucharist, its nature and our participation in it.

You can let us know you've listened to this month's podcast here: February Response Form.

Lower the Nets – Liturgy of the Eucharist

  1. Intro – February – hearts, Mardi gras, love and celebration – perfect for Eucharist!
  2. Importance of Mass in your family
    1. Students in the school and CCD are taught the Eucharist is the source and summit of Christian life
    2. Baptism consecrates you (sets apart) for priesthood (praise of God) which finds its fulfillment in the Mass
    3. Invitation to go to Mass
    4. We must change our schedule and prioritize to live this reality, but is not this what God does? Change our lives?
  3. Prayer over offering
    1. Words all about changing what is natural into divine.
    2. We prepare to offer ourselves too. Our goal is to ‘place’ ourselves on the altar too.
  4. Eucharistic prayer
    1. These are in entrance into Jesus’ prayer to the Father at the Last Supper. The prayers are offered on our behalf by the Priest in Persona Christ.
      1. This is why you’ve maybe see Mass offered Ad Orientem…the priest isn’t talking to us but to the Father
      2. This is also why the Eucharistic Prayer can be said silent other than the word of institution
    2. They encapsulate the inner dynamic, conversation, and desires of God.
    3. Eucharistic Prayer 4 retells all of the history of Salvation, it is soaked with Scripture. For when the hour had come for him to be glorified by you, Father most holy, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end
  5. Memorial Acclamation
    1. One of the most solemn parts of the Mass because it is a strong reminder of what we participate in by what we proclaim and participate in.
    2. We shouldn’t lose sight that it is a call and response. We should marvel at this ‘Mystery of Faith’ which is said by the Priest.
  6. Great Amen
    1. Let it be done unto me according to your word. We enter into Jesus’ prayer and are prepared to follow after Him.
    2. Literally, we prepare to become one with Him as we are divinized by the Eucharist.
      1. Offering the Lamb for the whole world (Fr. Gaitly)
    3. Our yes to participation in His sacrifice
  7. Conclusion
    1. Bow head at the Name of Jesus, Mary, and Saint of the Day. It is Training for active listening.
    2. Respond with force at the Great Amen!

Thank you to the generous artists at Uppbeat who've provided music for our intro and outro.

In this month's episode, Sr. Fiat Marie and Blake reflect on how the Creed bridges the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist as well as how the Offertory Rite prepares us for deeper communion with the Trinity. You can let us know you've listened here: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=p4tfwKotGUCwzFhJyZWf3Jwac4iA34ZHn6whLWZ8SFVURUdYWFpFVkNGRE9RTjRJVFFJM0FHVVc5Uy4u. 

The Creed & Offertory RiteJanuary Podcast outline

  1. Introduction
  2. Creed as a Bridge
    1. The Shema is the first Creedal statement of our Faith.
    2. It is the same creed that Jesus would have known and that he even highlights when asked what is the greatest commandment. With the full revelation of God in the Person of Jesus Christ, his words, and actions the Creed becomes fuller as we encounter the person of Jesus Christ.
    3. The Catechism states, “We do not believe in formulas, but in those realities they express, which faith allows us to touch. The believer's act [of faith] does not terminate in the propositions, but in the realities [which they express]." (CCC 170).
    4. Our worship and encounters with the Living God through Scripture and His witnesses change belief and those beliefs change our actions.
  3. Intercessions
    1. In the Universal Prayer or Prayer of the Faithful, the people respond in some sense to the Word of God which they have received in faith and, exercising the office of their baptismal Priesthood, offer prayers to God for the salvation of all. It is desirable that there usuallsy be such a form of prayer in Masses celebrated with the people, so that petitions may be offered for holy Church, for those who govern with authority over us, for those weighed down by various needs, for all humanity, and for the salvation of the whole world.
  4. Offertory and preparation of the gifts
    1. Start of Liturgy of Eucharist
    2. Simple/small taking in all/large
    3. How are they produced?
      1. Sun, earth, time, animals, our hands and work, trucks driving
      2. The earth, ourselves, our work
      3. Eastern churches a family makes the bread
      4. Giving what we have received (circle of awe and gratitude example)
      5. They represent us
    4. Mingling rite
      1. They become Jesus
    5. Jesus, transform us into you
  5. Close
