           WITH WHICH TO VIEW

 Father Tim Keeney Saint Anne Catholic Church November 2011
Basic Gospel

 We are all about the death and resurrection of
 Jesus



 How we participate in    his death and
 resurrection is the story of our spiritual lives



 Our identity with Christ is accomplished and
 sealed by the Holy Spirit
The Paschal Mystery

  All ministry helps people experience the
   Paschal Mystery—the death and
   resurrection of Christ

  All ministry takes place in the dynamics of
   the Trinity—love and self-gift for the sake of
   the other

  Priests are, par excellence, ministers, and
   by our baptism all are ministers through
   our common priesthood
The Liturgy

          We have to be aware of how:

 Liturgy is an asset for    The language of the New
 people                      Roman Missal draws us
                                   into a deeper
 In today’s culture
                                   understanding of:

Liturgy                               Experience

 A standard ritual        A designed service
 which everyone            which can contain many
 accepts that allows       points of novelty and
 people to enter it        which attempts to induce
 from many different       certain emotions and
 emotional and personal    perspectives in the

Worship Experience
      Audience
Passive recipients of
what is being presented
 Different styles of
        celebrating

        The words of the text
        are starting points
        needing a rhetoric to
        communicate meaning

        The Mass is formed as a

THE     series of calls and
        responses between the
        priest and the
MASS    congregation
The Language of the New Missal

      Closer to the Latin
      More Poetic
      Draws upon ancient prayers of the
         Church
        Emphasizes our humility before God
        Emphasizes the Holiness of God
        More Theological
        More Scriptural
        More unified with other languages
The Dynamics

The Eucharist is an interactive experience

    that is fundamentally evangelizing:

       we call people to conversion,

        we celebrate commitment,

           we send people forth.

The Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father,
through him all things were made.
The Creed

For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was
crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day,
in accordance with the Scriptures.
The Creed

He ascended into heaven and is seated
at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge
the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,
the giver of life, who proceeds from the
Father and the Son, who with the Father
and the Son is ad0red and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
The Creed

I believe in one, holy, catholic and
apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the
forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to
the resurrection of the dead and the
life of the world to come.
                            Amen

Response


 THE SECOND
  RESPONSE
TO THE WORD
   OF GOD
  IS AT THE

The Offertory


I give myself,          “By the mystery of this
  we give                water and wine may we
  ourselves                       come to share
  to God in                       in the divinity
  response                        of Christ who

  The W O R D                      himself to

                                   humanity.”
The Offertory

 Fruit of the earth



 Fruit of the vine



 Work of human hands
The Offertory


The Offertory is the GIFT OF ONE’S
                SELF,
   one’s resources, one’s being,

         in response to the

          LOVE OF GOD
The Offertory


 More radical than “tithing”
 More radical than “free will offering”
 More radical than “be generous”
 with your resources



WE ARE ASKING CATHOLICS
  TO GIVE THEMSELVES
The Offertory


We are not just asking
people to “support the
parish”(pay bills),
but to support the
Kingdom of God
which we believers
try to serve
The Offertory


WHAT IS GOD ASKING OF ME?

 AM I NOT LIKE ABRAHAM, MOSES,

   JEREMIAH, ESTHER, JUDITH,

  TOBIT, PETER, JOHN, PAUL?
The Offertory




WILL I SAY “YES” TO GOD?
The Doxology

3rd Word and Response

The “GREAT AMEN” in
 response to the
 Doxology sums up the
 aims of stewardship
 and discipleship
 expressed through the
 Eucharistic Prayer
The Eucharistic Prayer

Preface Dialogue
The sacrifice is not only the death of Jesus,
 not only the elements that bring us into
 unity with Jesus’ death and resurrection,
  but also the people are identified with
          Jesus’ eternal self-giving

  creation reaches fulfillment
The Communion Rite


4th Word and Response


  THE RECEPTION OF
     COMMUNION
   IS A RESPONSE TO
  THE WORD OF GOD
The Communion Rite



     I become Christ’s body
         I live Christ’s life
The Communion Rite

 More than just a receiving of the Body of
 Christ (passive)




 Also a commitment to become the Body of
 Christ—on the part of the congregation and
 on the part of the individual disciple (active)
The Communion Rite

Will I take to myself the body of Jesus?
   The body that was broken?

Will I take his chalice to my lips?
    The chalice that is shed for the life of all?

Will I live Christ’s death so I may live his life?
     Will I live his life in the world?
The Communion Rite



                                lord I am
Behold the Lamb of God
The Communion Rite



 Communion is our way of accepting
      the challenge of Jesus,
    “UNLESS YOU TAKE UP
   YOUR CROSS EVERY DAY,
YOU CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLES”
The Concluding Rites


5th Word and Response




    THE DISMISSAL IS OUR FINAL

   RESPONSE TO THE WORD OF GOD
The Concluding Rites

Dismissal           Commitment

“Go and announce      “I will live my
 the Gospel of           faith in the
 the Lord”                     world”
The Concluding Rites

 We are not church mice


 We are not monks


 We go forth into the world (world having both
 good and bad meanings)

 We go forth to be Christ’s Body in the World
The Concluding Rites




                     hi
Dismissal
The Concluding Rites


Dismissal is our        Dismissal is our
 accepting the          commitment to
 fundamental            live out the
 idea of                meaning of the
 MISSION                Mass
 at the heart of        throughout the
 discipleship           week as disciples-
                        family, work,
                        friendship, civic
                        life
Celebration



The problem of automatic pilot ~
priests and people “go through the
routine” and, worst of all, they
look like they are just going
through the routine
CELEBRATION

Celebrate the Mass as if it were your first Mass

Celebrate the Mass as if it were your last Mass

Celebrate the Mass as if it were your only Mass
At every Mass


 There are seekers
 There are people thinking about returning
 There are grieving people
 There are spiritually starving people
 There are people from groups that are
 on the edge—young adults, parents
By my participation and
how I participate at Mass,
am I willing to be part of an
evangelizing community?
