Note the actions of Abraham as he greeted the Lord in the presence of three men who appeared near his tent. He ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them. He bowed to the ground as he met them. He and Sarah, his wife, hastened to prepare a meal and bring food and water to their guests. In the Gospel story, Jesus friend Mary sat at his feet in order to listen to him St. Albert the Great Sacred Heart of Jesus Eucharistic Adoration Chapel is open 7 days per week 8:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. We invite Parishioners and visitors to attend a Holy Mass in the Chapel, every third Saturday of the Month at 7:00 a.m. LET US PRAY FOR THE SICK speak. How do we welcome and reverence the Lord? What do our actions show? Do we remember the Lord s presence in the Blessed Sacrament? How do we welcome the Lord in the scripture readings? How do we acknowledge his presence in our brothers and sisters, both at Mass and afterwards? Whether we kneel, stand, or sit in the Lord s presence, may our hearts and minds always be attuned to him.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The French Revolution is hardly a treasure in our story, yet in 1789 it began to dismantle the way the world was organized: feudalism. The collapsed society had three basic divisions: those who work, those who fight, and those who pray. There wasn t a great deal of movement among the ranks, yet one way to move out of the workers and the fighters was in the direction of the folks who prayed. These were the First Estate, the clergy. One of the key persons in any manor or village was the priest. He could read, at least a bit, and so was the source for pronouncements and news from government and Church. He was assigned to celebrate the sacraments frequently and in conformance with certain rules. Seminaries did not exist before the Reformation. Astute Protestant reformers then forced the Catholic world toward a more educated and able clergy. Before that, young men apprenticed with a priest to learn the essentials, and would be presented to the bishop for ordination. Other priests emerged from the university system, where students were required to be invested as clerics. Still others were monks, ordained not so much for ministry outside the monastic walls, but to offer Mass only for the intentions of the community s benefactors. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. MERCY Among the attributes of God, although they are all equal, mercy shines with even more brilliance than justice. Miguel de Cervantes SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM INFORMATION Page 5 Page 5
