Mo<strong>the</strong>r’s Day<br />
<strong>May</strong> 8, 2011<br />
You have made known to me <strong>the</strong> paths <strong>of</strong> life;<br />
You will fill me with joy in Your presence.<br />
—Acts 2:28<br />
The New Mass<br />
One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> big <strong>the</strong>mes <strong>of</strong> Vatican II was <strong>the</strong> role <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong> in our lives as Christians. To be a follower<br />
<strong>of</strong> Jesus is not to “fly solo,” but to find Jesus along with <strong>the</strong> entire community <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r disciples.<br />
“Where two or three are ga<strong>the</strong>red in my name, <strong>the</strong>re am I in <strong>the</strong>ir midst.” A good portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Vatican II<br />
documents <strong>the</strong>refore speak <strong>of</strong> how <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong> lives in <strong>the</strong> modern world and how Christians must connect to<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong> in order to connect with Christ.<br />
The Third Eucharistic Prayer <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mass incorporates many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se truths as it speaks <strong>of</strong> how<br />
Christ’s redemptive work bears fruit for us through our life in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong>. The first aspect <strong>of</strong> this is that <strong>the</strong><br />
more we come close to Christ, <strong>the</strong> more we become one in and through <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong>. “…Grant that we, who<br />
are nourished by <strong>the</strong> Body and Blood <strong>of</strong> your Son and filled with his Holy Spirit, may become one body, one<br />
spirit in Christ.”<br />
What a pr<strong>of</strong>ound truth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> spiritual life! The Eucharist connects us in an ever deeper bond, not only<br />
with Christ, but also with o<strong>the</strong>r Catholics. The more we become one with <strong>the</strong> Eucharistic Body <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord,<br />
<strong>the</strong> more we become one with his Mystical Body, which is <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong>. The two, by Christ’s will are inseparable.<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Paul</strong> speaks <strong>of</strong> this extensively to <strong>the</strong> Corinthians (1 Cor 10:16), “The bread that we break, is it not a<br />
participation in <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong> Christ? Because <strong>the</strong>re is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> one bread.” Or to paraphrase <strong>the</strong> first Letter <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>. John, you can’t say that you want to be one with<br />
Lord while saying at <strong>the</strong> same time that you want nothing to do with those who follow <strong>the</strong> Lord.<br />
This also explains a practice which many find puzzling or even <strong>of</strong>fensive. Why are only Catholics allowed<br />
to receive Holy Communion? Many feel that Communion just means that everyone is special and<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore everyone should be invited. The <strong>Church</strong>, however, sees much more to it than a sign <strong>of</strong> welcome.<br />
Following <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Paul</strong>’s teaching, to receive Communion is to cement one’s bond with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong>; it is to “renew<br />
one’s vow” made at baptism to live as a member <strong>of</strong> Christ within <strong>the</strong> Catholic <strong>Church</strong>. One with <strong>the</strong> Eucharist;<br />
one with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong> – <strong>the</strong> two are inseparable. Because <strong>of</strong> that truth, Holy Communion cannot be <strong>of</strong>fered<br />
to those who are separated from <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong> without violating <strong>the</strong> very meaning <strong>of</strong> this sacrament <strong>of</strong><br />
unity.<br />
