SHARE THE BURDEN<br />

C ome to me, all you<br />

who labor and are burdened, and<br />

I will give you rest” (Matthew<br />

11:28). These words of our Savior<br />

seem to be <strong>in</strong> stark contrast to the<br />

previous chapter from the same<br />

Gospel, when we were told that if<br />

we do not take up our crosses, we<br />

are not worthy of Christ.<br />

Connect<strong>in</strong>g these two messages<br />

might help us on our faith<br />

journeys. Be<strong>in</strong>g a follower of<br />

Christ surely means that we must<br />

embrace the cross, <strong>in</strong> its mystery<br />

of both suffer<strong>in</strong>g and triumph.<br />

This is someth<strong>in</strong>g that we need<br />

not do alone, for the burden is<br />

often too heavy for us to carry by<br />

ourselves. Who, then, do we turn<br />

to We can turn to the Body of<br />

Christ - the community of<br />

disciples gathered for worship.<br />

When we f<strong>in</strong>d the burden too<br />

heavy, let us remember that we<br />

can share that burden with our<br />

Christian sisters and brothers,<br />

who can help br<strong>in</strong>g us rest.<br />

PART I<br />

REVISED ROMAN MISSAL<br />

THE INTRODUCTORY RITES<br />

The Gloria<br />

(Glory to God)<br />

The Gloria was not orig<strong>in</strong>ally<br />

<strong>in</strong>tended to be a regular part of<br />

Roman (Lat<strong>in</strong> Rite) Mass. It was<br />

one of many ancient Christian<br />

hymns composed <strong>in</strong> imitation of<br />

other scriptural lyrics, such as the<br />

psalms. Although it found its way<br />

<strong>in</strong>to the Mass on an occasional basis<br />

(Christmas liturgy, Ord<strong>in</strong>ations,<br />

Masses presided by bishops, and<br />

select festivals), it was not until late<br />

<strong>in</strong> the sixth century that it was<br />

accepted by the Church to be sung<br />

at all festive Masses. Its orig<strong>in</strong>al<br />

place <strong>in</strong> the Mass was that of a song<br />

or hymn to be sung by the people <strong>in</strong><br />

the assembly, rather than by an<br />

exclusive choir or select members of<br />

the clergy. There are three parts to<br />

the Gloria: 1. The song of the angels<br />

at the Nativity of Jesus. 2. Praise of<br />

God. 3. Invocation of Christ. through<br />

- out the text are echoes of the<br />

Nicene Creed, which affirms the<br />

ancient orig<strong>in</strong>s of this hymn.<br />

Are we excused from<br />

Mass dur<strong>in</strong>g vacation<br />

T his is actually a<br />

common and unfortunate misconception.<br />

As Catholics, we are bound to<br />

attend Mass every <strong>Sunday</strong> and other<br />

Holy Day of Obligation anywhere<br />

the Catholic rite is celebrated either<br />

that day or the even<strong>in</strong>g before<br />

(Canon 1247, 1248). Only a grave<br />

cause such as the unavailability of a<br />

priest or an <strong>in</strong>firmity may excuse us.<br />

One primary reason for<br />

attend<strong>in</strong>g Mass is to receive Jesus’<br />

Body and Blood. That’s not just an<br />

obligation but an amaz<strong>in</strong>g gift. The<br />

Church doesn’t want us<br />

to miss an opportunity to<br />

meet with Christ for any<br />

avoidable reason.<br />

However, go<strong>in</strong>g to Mass<br />

at a local church can be a fun way to<br />

experience the local customs of<br />

places we visit. While the Mass itself<br />

doesn’t change, parishes may have<br />

different ways of greet<strong>in</strong>g visitors,<br />

s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g different hymns, or even<br />

offer hospitality after Mass that can<br />

help you get tips for places to visit<br />

while you are there.<br />

A VACATION IS NO VACATION WITHOUT MASS<br />

Does your summer vacation sometimes <strong>in</strong>clude tak<strong>in</strong>g a vacation from Mass F<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g a Mass when you are away from home ,<br />

or fitt<strong>in</strong>g it <strong>in</strong>to a summer schedule can mean mak<strong>in</strong>g special efforts. Here are four reasons to fit Mass <strong>in</strong>to your summer rout<strong>in</strong>e:<br />

1. Wherever Mass is said anywhere <strong>in</strong> the world, millions of people you don’t know are pray<strong>in</strong>g<br />

for you and with you. Where else can you get that k<strong>in</strong>d of help<br />

2. Attend<strong>in</strong>g Mass connects you to the Communion of Sa<strong>in</strong>ts - the sa<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> heaven, the souls <strong>in</strong><br />

purgatory and believers on earth. That’s powerful company.<br />

3. After Jesus ascended <strong>in</strong>to heaven, his followers formed the early Church to keep his message<br />

alive. Every time you attend Mass, you keep Jesus’ message alive.<br />

4. God commanded us to keep holy the Sabbath, and Mass is the way a Catholic fulfills that<br />

requirement. If God tells you to do someth<strong>in</strong>g, it’s a good idea to do it.<br />

ST. BRENDAN CHURCH<br />

Pastor’s Corner<br />

Priests’ <strong>St</strong>udy Week<br />

As a way to provide cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g education for priests, each year the Archdiocese offers a study week dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the 2 nd and 3 rd week of June. So half the priests of our Archdiocese attended the 2 nd week and the other half<br />

attended the 3 rd week. With the implementation of the 3 rd edition of the Roman Missal on the horizon<br />

(Advent of 2011), the theme for this year’s <strong>St</strong>udy Week was “The Spirituality of Mass.” It was a wonderful<br />

way for us to reflect on the mass that we pray each day and to ga<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>sights from different theologians.<br />

Our guest speaker was Dr. Bob Hurd, who currently teaches at Santa Clara University, had taught at <strong>St</strong>.<br />

Patrick’s Sem<strong>in</strong>ary, and had at one time been a sem<strong>in</strong>arian. At the Sem<strong>in</strong>ary, he was one of my favorite<br />

professors because he has the gift of <strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g difficult topics with clarity, and he br<strong>in</strong>gs a joyful spirit to<br />

his work. You might also be familiar with his name because he has composed and published many songs<br />

found <strong>in</strong> our music issue, songs such as “Envia tu Espiritu” and “I want to Praise your Name.”<br />

Among the different topics discussed was the use of chants <strong>in</strong> the Revised Roman Missal. Although the new<br />

missal does not require us to use only chant music, but it was discussed as the Revised Missal <strong>in</strong>cludes them<br />

and makes it available among a repertoire of different music that we already use. A few th<strong>in</strong>gs stood out for<br />

me <strong>in</strong> our discussion of the Liturgy of the Word. In an article by Mariano Magrassi, O.S.B. entitled “Pray<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the Bible: An <strong>in</strong>troduction to Lectio Div<strong>in</strong>a,” he wrote that:<br />

Prayer is, first of all, listen<strong>in</strong>g. So if we are truly listen<strong>in</strong>g, then we are already pray<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

The ultimate goal of listen<strong>in</strong>g is obedience, total submission to the Word of God.<br />

The mystery of the Word reveals its secrets not from teachers’ desks, but <strong>in</strong> churches and <strong>in</strong> the lives of<br />

the sa<strong>in</strong>ts. And the Bible is not only a book to read, to learn, to pray over… it is essentially a story to be<br />

relived.<br />

Perhaps the most <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>in</strong>g that happened all week, was try<strong>in</strong>g to pray the mass <strong>in</strong> the “new” form each<br />

day. Although we have discussed the changes and understood them, however, it is certa<strong>in</strong>ly difficult to break<br />

old habits. For example, the new response to “The Lord be with you,” is “and with your spirit.” It is a<br />

response pray<strong>in</strong>g that the Spirit of God that the priest received at ord<strong>in</strong>ation, may also be with him as he<br />

celebrates the mass. Inevitably, many of us revert back to the current response of “and also with you.”<br />

Even though we had a booklet to help us with our responses, however, juggl<strong>in</strong>g between that and our song<br />

sheet showed us it was a little difficult. So we got a taste of how our parishioners might feel with the<br />

upcom<strong>in</strong>g changes and thought of different ways to make the transition less traumatic and smooth.<br />

Fr. Paul Zirimenya, who is deaf and serves at <strong>St</strong>. Benedict <strong>Parish</strong> for the Deaf, said through an <strong>in</strong>terpreter<br />

that to calm his community who is anxious over any changes <strong>in</strong> their lives, that there are only 15 changes<br />

<strong>in</strong> the New Missal that will affect them. He said that once people knew this, that calmed many of their fears.<br />

The committee plann<strong>in</strong>g with me for the upcom<strong>in</strong>g changes recommended that dur<strong>in</strong>g the month of October,<br />

we discuss these upcom<strong>in</strong>g changes with you at Mass. Thank you for your support of the Archbishop’s<br />

Annual Appeal that has made study weeks like these available to us.<br />

With prayers and bless<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />

Fr. Dan<br />

Happy 4 th of July!

ONE MINUTE MEDITATIONS<br />

Write a note<br />

There is someth<strong>in</strong>g special about receiv<strong>in</strong>g a note<br />

of encouragement or praise. <strong>St</strong>. Paul wrote one to<br />

Timothy to encourage the young m<strong>in</strong>ister <strong>in</strong> his work:<br />

“I yearn to see you aga<strong>in</strong>, recall<strong>in</strong>g your tears, so that I<br />

may be filled with joy” 2 Timothy 1:4. Unlike a comment<br />

that is heard only once, a letter or note can be reread.<br />

Consider send<strong>in</strong>g an old fashioned note of encouragement,<br />

consolation, praise, or love.<br />

Plan a good day<br />

Spend a few m<strong>in</strong>utes each morn<strong>in</strong>g plann<strong>in</strong>g for<br />

a good day. Picture, <strong>in</strong> detail, how you will spend the<br />

next 24 satisfy<strong>in</strong>g hours. Imag<strong>in</strong>e yourself do<strong>in</strong>g good<br />

and be<strong>in</strong>g a bless<strong>in</strong>g to others. Then do all you can to<br />

enjoy the day.<br />

Hol<strong>in</strong>ess for all<br />

Accord<strong>in</strong>g to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta,<br />

hol<strong>in</strong>ess is the birthright of every human person. She<br />

said, “Hol<strong>in</strong>ess is not a luxury for a few, but a simple<br />

duty for everyone.”<br />

PRAY WITH ALL YOUR HEART<br />

Even the most prayerful person falls upon dry periods <strong>in</strong><br />

prayer. It can become rout<strong>in</strong>e, automatic, or even feel like<br />

work. Yet prayer is lift<strong>in</strong>g our hearts and m<strong>in</strong>ds to the<br />

one who loves us most. With that <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d, try alter<strong>in</strong>g<br />

your prayer rout<strong>in</strong>e.<br />

<strong>St</strong>art with confession. It may seem<br />

unnecessary to confess s<strong>in</strong>s to the one<br />

who sees our thoughts but prayerful<br />

confession breaks down barriers between<br />

us and God. When we are will<strong>in</strong>g to hold<br />

back noth<strong>in</strong>g from him, we can s<strong>in</strong>cerely<br />

and humbly ask for forgiveness. Then we<br />

pray with a clean heart and a clear<br />

conscience.<br />

Offer forgiveness. Ask God to forgive all those who<br />

have trespassed aga<strong>in</strong>st you, all who have caused you<br />

suffer<strong>in</strong>g or given you <strong>in</strong>sult or <strong>in</strong>jury. Forgive them <strong>in</strong><br />

prayer and ask God to bless and help them.<br />

Pray fervently. Your Father is listen<strong>in</strong>g, so make a petition,<br />

beg God’s favor, ask for his bless<strong>in</strong>g. Know that he<br />

hears your requests and will grant all that is good for you.<br />

Feastday: July 6<br />

Patron of youth, young women,, purity, and<br />

victims of rape<br />

Born: 1890<br />

Died: 1902<br />

Born <strong>in</strong> Cor<strong>in</strong>aldo, Ancona, Italy, on October 16<br />

1890; her farmworker father moved his family to<br />

Ferrier di Conca, near Anzio.<br />

Her father died of malaria and her<br />

mother had to struggle to feed her<br />

children.<br />

In 1902 an eighteen-year-old<br />

neighbor, Alexander, grabbed her<br />

from her steps and tried to rape<br />

her. When Maria said that she<br />

would rather die than submit,<br />

Alexander began stabb<strong>in</strong>g her with<br />

a knife. As she lay <strong>in</strong> the hospital, she forgave Alexander<br />

before she died.<br />

Her death didn't end her forgiveness, however.<br />

Alexander was captured and sentenced to thirty<br />

years. He was unrepentant until he had a dream that<br />

he was <strong>in</strong> a garden. Maria was there and gave him<br />

flowers. When he woke, he was a changed man,<br />

repent<strong>in</strong>g of his crime and liv<strong>in</strong>g a reformed life.<br />

When he was released after 27 years he went directly<br />

to Maria's mother to beg her forgiveness, which she<br />

gave. "If my daughter can forgive him, who am I to<br />

withhold forgiveness," she said.<br />

When Maria was declared a sa<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong> 1950, Alexander<br />

was there <strong>in</strong> the <strong>St</strong>. Peter's crowd to celebrate her<br />

canonization. She was canonized by Pope Pius XII<br />

<strong>in</strong> 1950 for her purity as model for youth.<br />

She is called a martyr because she fought aga<strong>in</strong>st<br />

Alexander's attempts at sexual assault. However, the<br />

most important aspect of her story is her forgiveness<br />

of her attacker -- her concern for her enemy extend<strong>in</strong>g<br />

even beyond death.<br />
