#33 TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME August 16, 2015

AT THE TABLE

Jesus says, “I am the living bread . . . whoever eats this bread (my flesh)

will live forever” — John 6:51

In today’s first reading, Wisdom is imagined as a woman rich in poise

and grace. She moves smoothly and confidently about her tem-ple-like home. She doesn’t flutter about, nervous with worry. Wisdom sends her maidens to invite all to her open house. The guests do not possess any particular genius or insight. They need only be a people of good will and common sense. They are summoned to leave behind foolishness and to find for themselves a place at Wisdom’s table. There they may and can eat and drink deeply. Today’s Gospel draws us back to the table of the Eucharist. Jesus addresses those who seek to understand his words and, sadly, those who seek to avoid them. As people born of God, we are called and equipped to seek God’s will and act on it.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION If the alb is the premier baptismal garment, then why are there so many other styles of vesture in evidence in our par-ishes? In some places, altar servers and other ministers might wear a garment, usually black, called a cassock. Over that is normally worn a white garment (a “surplice”), reminiscent of the alb but much shorter, often of starched linen and trimmed with lace. The cassock is not a liturgical garment, but a clerical robe. Its origins lie in the religious habit of monks. By the late Middle Ages, diocesan priests and clerics increasingly were encouraged to emulate religious priests. Very small boys were often apprenticed to monasteries, especially for music educa-tion, and would be invested with a cassock and sometimes even inducted into the ranks of clerics. For centuries before the Reformation, it was required that all men entering higher education be clerics, and so the cassock and its variations became familiar academic garb. At the Refor-mation, many ministers retained a form of the cassock as ordi-nary dress, rejecting liturgical garments. In the seventeenth century, the English Civil War was in part provoked by the Archbishop of Canterbury’s insistence that ministers wear sur-plices. Although the Episcopal Church now retains “cassock and surplice” as the normal dress for lay men and women as-sisting at liturgy, Catholics are increasingly attentive to the deeply traditional treasure of the alb, our baptismal robe, when special liturgical vesture is needed. —Rev. James Field ANNIVERSARY CONGRATULATIONS Parish blessings and good wishes are extended to Stanley and Gertrude Sagosky on the celebration of their 62nd Wedding Anniversary. May God continue to bless their marriages with good health and happiness.

own with fullness of faith in the family of God. . Welcome! R.C.I.A. BEGINS SOON Some of you reading this parish bulletin were never bap-tized; some were reared as members of other Christian denomi-nations. Some were baptized Catholic, but you were never instructed in the faith. Some may have been attending Mass, at least occasionally with Catholic family members or friends.

THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY INTO HEAVEN

Solemnity - August 15th

In 1950, Pope Pius XI declared what Catholics had long believed: After Mary’s death, God raised her body. She lives with God for ever. On Assumption Day we rejoice that this broken world will be made new again. The barren, the poor, the unloved and even the dead will be raised into glory. Assumption Day sometimes is thought of as Mary’s “harvesting” into heaven. This is a

day to thank God for the bounty of growing things. Many churches gather baskets of garden vegetables, herbs and flowers around a statue of Mary. We remember Mary’s song of praise from the Gospel of Luke, “The Lord has lifted up the lowly. The Lord has filled the hungry with good things.”
