TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — If you share your food with the hungry,

provide housing for the homeless, then light shall break

forth upon you (Isaiah 58:7-10).

Psalm — The just man is a light in the darkness to the

upright (Psalm 112).

Second Reading — My message to you, says Paul, was not

clever words of wisdom but the proclamation of Christ

crucified (1 Corinthians 2:1-5).

Gospel — You are the salt of the earth, the light of the

world. In your good deeds your light shines before others,

leading them to glorify God (Matthew 5:13-16). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997,

GOD’S SUMMONS If we are not able to witness concretely to the love

of Christ in our lives, then we are truly salt that has

gone tasteless. Our flavor and impact are lost. How

difficult it is to get them back again.

In the late 1940s the Christophers movement began

in the United States. The Christophers’ motto, “It is

better to light one candle than to curse the darkness,”

attracted many through the Christophers’ effective use

of the media, advertising, and the encouragement of its

members to proclaim Christ in the workplace.

Jesus calls us to be that candle and to set ourselves

in the most visible place. Jesus, who brought eternal

light to the world, tells us that we, too, are the light of

the world. Through our words and actions we must let

our light shine in the sight of all so that in seeing our

good works, everyone may give praise to God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Part 2 of the 4-week “Mass” series:

Liturgy of the Word

The “Scripture” part of the Mass

(The Sunday readings are on a 3-year

cycle: Year A = Matthew, Year B =

Mark, Year C = Luke. This means that

a majority of the readings for that

year, especially in Ordinary Time, are

taken from that Gospel. The Gospel of

John is used in each of the years,

especially during Lent and the Easter

Season; because Mark’s Gospel is so short, John is used for five

weeks in Ordinary Time of that year. 2014 is Year A,

Matthew; next year, 2015, will be Mark and 2016, Luke, and

then in 2017 back to Matthew).

1. First Reading

We sit, like students, to listen to the First Reading, which is

taken from the Jewish Scriptures (Old Testament), except

during the Easter Season, when it is from the Acts of the

Apostles. This reading is NOT continuous, but is selected to

match the theme of the day’s Gospel or the Feast of the day.

2. Responsorial Psalm

We respond with a Psalm (or one of the Jewish or Christian

Scriptural Canticles); this is selected to reflect back on the

theme of the First Reading. It is meant to be sung, usually

antiphonally, that is, back and forth between a cantor (or

choir) and the assembly.

3. Second Reading

This reading is ALWAYS from the Christian Scriptures (New

Testament) -- usually from one of Paul’s letters. It has an

‘independent’ theme -- separate from the First Reading and

Gospel OR it is chosen to highlight an aspect of the Feast Day.

It is continuous, that is, read chapter by chapter -- week by

week. In Year A, in Ordinary Time, we will read from 1

Corinthians, Romans, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians.

4. Gospel Verse

We stand -- as “at attention” to prepare to hear the Gospel

proclamation; there can be a procession of The Book of the

Gospels. This is very short, usually one verse from the Gospel,

looking forward to the Gospel message. It is meant to be sung;

in Lent, the “Alleluia” is replaced with another antiphon.

5. Gospel

We continue standing; we mark our foreheads, lips and hearts

with a cross. This reading, like the Second, is continuous: this

year reading chapter by chapter through The Gospel of

Matthew. This is the pre-eminent reading!

6. Homily

We sit -- in order to “learn”. It is meant to be a sharing on the

reading and not a “Bible Class” but a challenging exhortation

to apply and live the lessons of the Scripture Readings.

7. Profession of Faith

We stand. This is not so much a prayer as a declaration of

what we believe; 2 options: the Nicene or the Apostles’ Creed.

8. Prayer of the Faithful (or Intercessions)

We continuing standing. The people/assembly are the

“Faithful”. The petitions might include the following: a) for the

needs of the Church; b) for public authorities and the salvation

of the whole world; c) for those burdened by any kind of

difficulty; d) for the local community.

Next week: Liturgy of the Eucharist.

Have a good week!

NEW BEGINNINGS A Ministry of Hope, Healing and

Consolation

New Beginnings is a Bereavement

Ministry designed to provide support to

Christian individuals who have

experienced traumatic loss in their lives.

The grieving process can cause a sense of feeling

disconnected, dismayed and can fill the individual with a

sense of hopelessness and despair. New Beginnings offers

several services that will gently accompany the bereaved

and the parish community in their adjustment to the fact of

death and to the sorrow this entails.

HOPE Catholic Funeral Mass Planning and Coordination -

Our faith reminds us of the sure and certain hope that our

loved one who died in Christ will rise with him on the last

day. A compassionate and non-judgmental funeral

coordinator will guide you in planning a beautiful funeral

liturgy for your deceased loved one. You will be assisted

in choosing Scripture readings and hymns that express our

Christian hope in Christ’s saving death and resurrection.

Contact: Patti Fitzpatrick 702-459-7778

HEALING Grief Facilitation -

“Blessed are they who mourn; they shall be

consoled” (Matthew 5:3)

This support group offers trained individuals to help the

bereaved understand the process of grief. In these classes,

individuals examine their feelings during this intense

period and look at coping mechanisms to move through

the process feeling guided and not alone. The service has

structured classes on various topics and also offers

sessions for participants to examine their experiences and

share with others in a safe environment led by a facilitator.

Contact: Susie Cram 702-459-7778

CONSOLATION Helping the Bereaved -

“If one member suffers in the body of Christ which is the

Church, all the members suffer with that member” (1 Cor.

12:26)

When a member of Christ’s Body dies, the faithful are

called to a ministry of consolation to those who have

suffered the loss of one whom they love. This is an in-

service offered to help individuals who are close to, work

with, or know someone who has suffered a loss, but who

are not sure how to help the bereaved. The instructor will

teach the participants the stages of grief, describe normal

grief behavior and share ways to journey with the

individual they want to help or support.

Contact: Susie Cram 702-459-7778

Music Notes

from Debbie Just a few notes! First of all, we bid a fond goodbye to Laura

Tucker, who has been the cantor at 10 am Mass since Holy Spirit

began! Laura has accepted a job in the Attorney General's Office

in Reno! We wish her the best of luck, and will miss her. Also,

we are looking for percussionists who might be interested in

playing at Mass. We already have a set of bongos and other

percussion, and beginning next month, we will have access to a

drum set every weekend - now, we just need some folks to play

them! If you are an experienced drummer/percussionist, please

call or e-mail me! I'd love to hear from you! Lastly, if you would

like to join our music ministry, there's always room! We could

especially use some help at the two evening Masses. Rehearsals

are held on most Wednesdays at 7:30! (they usually last about an

hour!) We would love to share the song with you! Just give me a

call so that I have enough music ready (459-7778 ext. 103).
