The Shape <strong>of</strong> the Mass<br />
FEAST OF FAITH<br />
In the renewal <strong>of</strong> the liturgy that followed the Second<br />
Vatican Council, the full, conscious, and active<br />
participation <strong>of</strong> the assembly was the primary consideration.<br />
By participation, the Council Fathers did<br />
not mean just joining in the singing and the spoken<br />
responses, but active engagement and prayerful<br />
understanding <strong>of</strong> the rites. They envisioned a transparent<br />
liturgy, a worship that spoke so directly to the<br />
hearts and minds <strong>of</strong> the faithful that it would require<br />
no explanation at all.<br />
The liturgy itself is the best possible catechesis on<br />
the liturgy. What does the liturgy teach us? It shows<br />
us the ministry <strong>of</strong> Jesus continuing in the present.<br />
He gathers a community. He calls us to prayer and<br />
repentance and praise. He teaches us with the very<br />
word <strong>of</strong> God. He does not send us away empty, but<br />
sets before us a marvelous banquet, feeding us with<br />
his very body and blood. Then he sends us forth to do<br />
what he has done--to give ourselves for others, not<br />
just in words, but in deeds. The Mass is the pattern <strong>of</strong><br />
our Christian lives.<br />

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time<br />
If we itemized the top eight things that bring us happiness,<br />
what items might show up on the list? A hefty bank account?<br />
A Caribbean cruise or African safari? A shopping<br />
mall marathon? Season tickets for the hometown team?<br />
A new car? If we already have some <strong>of</strong> these things, most<br />
likely we know they don’t bring us true happiness. Fact is,<br />
they probably bring us more aggravation--items to return<br />
or repair, one more object for people to argue over. Today’s<br />
scriptures point us toward the things that bring us true joy.<br />
The words <strong>of</strong> all three passages conflict with our society’s<br />
conviction that fortune, fame, and power are the soughtafter<br />
treasures <strong>of</strong> life. God’s ways are not the ways <strong>of</strong> our<br />
popular culture, after all, and today’s readings help point us<br />
in the right direction.<br />

LOS CAMINOS DE DIOS<br />
Si listáramos las ocho cosas principales que nos traen<br />
felicidad, ¿qué pondríamos en la lista? ¿Una abultada<br />
cuenta en el banco?, ¿un crucero por el Caribe o un safari<br />
en el África?, ¿un maratón de compras en las tiendas?,<br />
¿boletos de temporada para ver el equipo local?, ¿un<br />
automóvil nuevo? Si ya poseemos algunas de estas cosas,<br />
casi seguro ya sabemos que no nos traen verdadera<br />
felicidad. El hecho es que probablemente nos traen más<br />
engorros, pues hay cosas que devolver o reparar, un objeto<br />
más que sea motivo de pelea. Las lecturas de hoy apuntan<br />
a cosas que nos traen verdadera alegría. Las palabras<br />
de los tres pasajes son contrarias a las convicciones de<br />
nuestra sociedad de que la fortuna, la fama y el poder son<br />
los codiciados tesoros de esta vida. Los caminos de Dios<br />
no son los caminos de nuestra cultura popular, después de<br />
todo, las lecturas de hoy nos señalan el camino acertado.<br />
