The song of the angels, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” resounds from our lips at every Mass. There was a widespread belief in the first religions of the world that God stirred creation into being by a word, a song, a musical note. Music and a sense of God’s presence have always been inseparable. In the liturgy, your voice is invited into this song as the priest names the reasons for our praise. “Heaven and earth are full of your glory,” and we are not passive onlookers, but participants in this glory. Catholic prayer no longer assigns this angelic hymn to a choir, but gives it to you to sing. Even if your voice is thought to be suitable only for a well‑insulated shower

stall, you are called into this song. We are born to sing—just listen to a baby testing the full range of newly‑discovered vocal abilities. Soon we get shushed and hushed into quiet, and given lots of messages that our voices are unwanted, and that we need to raise our hands in order to be heard. All of that is overturned in liturgy, the place where God waits to hear us come alive in the song of all creation. In heaven, everyone’s in the choir; why not start practicing now? —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Bishop’s Services Appeal

The December report for the 2012—2013 Bishop’s Service Appeal

Represents 56.7% of our goal. Our donations & pledges total $24,141.

May God continue to bless you and yours for your continued support and generosity.

P aul’s most famous passage, his hymn to

love from 1 Corinthians 13, holds the key to the elusive

quest of God.

Do you want to feel God’s closeness immediately?

Love somebody.

Do you want to connect with Jesus as he hung on

the cross? Forgive somebody.

You can share in the witness of the martyrs by bearing all things, hoping all things, enduring all things. The gateway to God is love.

And oh, to be forgiven by one who doesn’t brood over injury, but rejoices in the truth! God lives there, where love masters pettiness,

or the sin-sick thrill of noticing when others get it wrong.

Do you want to connect with God one hundred percent of the time? Try love. It never fails.

A little boy was listening to a long

and excessively boring sermon in church. Suddenly, he eyes the red light of the sanctuary lamp.

Tugging on his father’s sleeve, he says, “Daddy,

when the light turns green, can we go?”
