PASTOR’S MESSAGE 3

Congratulations to all of our First Communicants and Confirmandi! The Reception of Holy Communion at Mass The Church understands the Communion Procession, in fact every procession in liturgy, as a sign of the pilgrim Church, the body of those who believe in Christ, on their way to the Heavenly Jerusalem. All our lives we who believe in Christ are moving in time toward that moment when we will be taken by death from this world and enter into the joy of the Lord in the eternal Kingdom he has prepared for us. The liturgical assembly of the baptized that comes together for the celebration of the Eucharist is a witness to, a manifestation of, the pilgrim Church. When we move in procession, particularly the proces-sion to receive the Body and Blood of Christ in Communion, we are a sign, a symbol of that pilgrim Church "on the way." The Communion Procession is an action of the Body of Christ. At Christ's invitation, extended by the priest acting in Christ's person: "Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb," the members of the community move forward to share in the sacred meal, to receive the Body and Blood of Christ which is the sign and the source of their unity. In fact, each time we move forward together to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord, we join the countless ranks of all the baptized who have gone before us, our loved ones, the canonized and uncanonized saints down through the ages, who at their time in history formed a part of this mighty stream of believers. Over and over again the prayers of the liturgy and the norms of the General Instruction emphasize this fundamental concept of the unity of the baptized, stressing that when we come together to participate in the Eucharistic celebration we come, not as individuals, but as united members of Christ's Body. In each of the Eucharistic Prayers, though the petition is worded in slightly different ways, God is asked to send his Holy Spirit to make us one body, one spirit in Christ; the General Instruction admonishes the faithful that "they are to form one body, whether in hearing the Word of God, or in taking part in the prayers and in the singing..." (no. 96). It describes one of the purposes of the opening song of the Mass as to "foster the unity of those who have been gathered" (no. 47), and says of the Communion Chant that "its purpose [is] to express the spiritual union of the communicants by means of the unity of their voices, to show gladness of heart, and to bring out more clearly the 'communitarian' character of the procession to receive the Eucharist" (no. 86). It is difficult for some of us to embrace this emphasis on Mass as the action of a community rather than an individual act of my own faith and piety, but it is important that we make every effort to do so. Christ himself at the Last Supper pleaded with his Father: "Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are... as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us..." (John 17:11, 21). Baptism has joined us to Christ and to one another as the vine and its branches. The life of Christ, the Holy Spirit, animates each of us individually, and all of us corporately and guides us together in our efforts to become one in Christ. Finally, the fact that the Communion Procession is a profoundly religious action tells us some-thing about the way in which we should participate in this procession. We are the Body of Christ, moving forward to receive the Christ who makes us one with himself and with one another. Our procession should move with dignity; our bearing should be that of those who know they have been redeemed by Christ and are coming to receive their God! It seems appropriate to conclude this reflection on the Communion Procession and the reception of Communion with a quotation from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1396: In Baptism we have been called to form but one body. The Eucharist fulfills this call: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread” (1 Cor 10:16-17): If you are the body and members of Christ, then it is your sacrament that is placed on the table of the Lord; it is your sacrament that you receive. To that which you are you respond “Amen” (“yes, it is true!”) and by responding to it you assent to it. For you hear the words, “the Body of Christ” and respond “Amen.” Be then a member of the Body of Christ that your Amen may be true (St. Augustine, Sermon 272: PL 38, 1247). -Excerpts from the USCCB article "The Reception of Holy Communion at Mass"

.PHÚC ÂM: Ga 15, 1-8 "Ai ở trong Thầy và Thầy ở trong người ấy, kẻ ấy sinh nhiều trái". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan. Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu phán cùng các môn đệ rằng: "Thầy là cây nho thật, và Cha Thầy là người trồng nho. Nhành nào trong Thầy không sinh trái thì Người chặt đi, còn nhành nào sinh trái thì Người tỉa sạch để nó sai trái hơn. Các con đã được tỉa sạch nhờ lời Thầy đã nói với các con. Các con ở trong Thầy, và Thầy ở trong các con. Cũng như nhành nho tự nó không thể sinh trái được, nếu không dính liền với cây nho; các con cũng vậy, nếu không ở trong Thầy. "Thầy là cây nho, các con là nhành. Ai ở trong Thầy và Thầy ở trong người ấy, kẻ ấy sẽ sinh nhiều trái, vì không có Thầy, các con không thể làm được gì. Ai không ở trong Thầy, thì bị vứt ra ngoài như ngành nho, và sẽ khô héo, người ta sẽ thu lại, quăng vào lửa cho nó cháy đi. Nếu các con ở trong Thầy, và lời Thầy ở trong các con, thì các con muốn gì cứ xin, và sẽ được. Đây là điều làm Cha Thầy được vinh hiển là các con sinh nhiều trái, và như thế các con trở nên môn đệ của Thầy". Đó là lời Chúa.

.Evangelio Juan (15,1-8) En aquel tiempo, dijo Jesús a sus discípulos: «Yo soy la verdadera vid, y mi Padre es el labrador. A todo sarmiento mío que no da fruto lo arranca, y a todo el que da fruto lo poda, para que dé más fru-to. Vosotros ya estáis limpios por las palabras que os he hablado; permaneced en mí, y yo en vo-sotros. Como el sarmiento no puede dar fruto por sí, si no permanece en la vid, así tampoco vo-sotros, si no permanecéis en mí. Yo soy la vid, vosotros los sarmientos; el que permanece en mí y yo en él, ése da fruto abundante; porque sin mí no podéis hacer nada. Al que no permanece en mí lo tiran fuera, como el sarmiento, y se seca; luego los recogen y los echan al fuego, y arden. Si per-manecéis en mí, y mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, pedid lo que deseáis, y se realizará. Con esto recibe gloria mi Padre, con que deis fruto abundante; así seréis discípulos míos.»
