Q: Why do Catholics say "Thanks be to God" at thend of Mass in response to, "The Mass is ended. Go
n peace?"A: We leave the assembly and the church buildingut we carry something with us. A newly marriedouple leave their wedding ceremony but carry their
marriage with them. And what happens in the daysnd years after the wedding gives deeper meaning tohe symbols they have exchanged (for example, theirings) at the wedding.

They make up a com-unity, which is in its turn evangelizing. The command to the Twelve to go out and proclaim the Good News isso valid for all Christians, though in a different way. Moreover, the Good News of the kingdom which is

our lives during the week gives deeper meaning tothe ritual actions we have celebrated at Mass. As wecarry daily our brokenness for love of the crucified,we find ever deeper meaning in the broken bread. Aswe pour out our lives in love for the homeless andthe alienated, we find meaning in the cup poured out.It is only in relation to our daily lives that the fullmeaning of the ritual actions of the Mass becomes

ST. Benedictines Day
Last July 11, the Catholic Church celebrated St. Bene-
dictines Day.
Benedict was born into a distinguished family in cen-tral Italy, studied at Rome and early in life was drawnto the monastic life. At first he became a hermit, leav-ng a depressing worldpagan armies on the march,
the Church torn by schism, people suffering from war,
morality at a low ebb.
He soon realized that he could not live a hidden life ina small town any better than in a large city, so hewithdrew to a cave high in the mountains for threeyears. Some monks chose him as their leader for awhile, but found his strictness not to their taste. Still,the shift from hermit to community life had begun forhim. He had an idea of gathering various families ofmonks into one Grand Monastery to give them the benefit of unity, fraternity, permanentworship in one house. Finally he began to build what was to become one of the most famousmonasteries in the worldMonte Cassino, commanding three narrow valleys running to-
ward the mountains north of Naples.
The Rule that gradually developed prescribed a life of liturgical prayer, study, manual laborand living together in community under a common father (abbot). Benedictine asceticism isknown for its moderation, and Benedictine charity has always shown concern for the peoplen the surrounding countryside. In the course of the Middle Ages, all monasticism in the
West was gradually brought under the Rule of St. Benedict.
Today the Benedictine family is represented by two branches: the Benedictine Federationand the Cistercians. He is Patron Saint of Europe, Kidney disease, Poisoning, Schoolchil-
dren.

A Study on the Book of Colossians.
The book of Colossians was written by the Apostle Paul during the first century. The letter was writtento the church in Colosse, a city located about 100 miles east of Ephesus. It appears that Paul nevervisited Colosse, but their faith became known to him. Though he was not a part of their spiritual birth,he remained a significant part of their spiritual growth, as is evidenced by his letter to them.
With only three chapters, the book of Colossians is filled with fundamental truths related to Christian
doctrine, and mirrors much of the teaching in Ephesians. The first two chapters focus on the truth thata believer's perspective should be filtered through Christ. There were three major threats to their spiri-tual lives that Paul wanted them to be aware of: philosophy, legalism and carnality.
In regards to philosophy, Pau's concern was that there were those who wanted to lead the believers inColosse astray with empty deceit and knowledge. But Paul's instruction to the Colossians was that inJesus Christ alone could be found all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. They were to recognizethat they were complete in Christ, lacking nothing. They were to be established in their faith in Christrather than give ear to worldly principles.
As for legalism, they were not to get wrapped up in the food they ate or drank, or the festivals theychose to celebrate or not celebrate. Paul was warning against false teachers among them who still im-posed regulations based on Mosaic Law. But Paul's instruction to them included a reminder that Christalready fulfilled the Law, there was no further need for them to perform works of the flesh to gainfavor with God. The self-imposed religious practices held no value in and of themselves, even thoughthey appeared wise and prudent. Rather, they robbed believers of their freedom in Christ.
Finally, as for carnality, there were practices in the spiritual walk of the Colossians that Paul urgedthem to leave behind. Practices such as fornication, idolatry, anger, filthy language, lying, and suchhad been creeping into the company of believers. Paul taught them that these things were not charac-teristics of a new man in Christ.
Having dealt with all of these, Paul then addresses the characteristics of a new man. He instructs themn the things they were to put on, such as forgiveness, humility, love, and tender mercies. They were to
feed on and live in the Word, and to let everything they do be done in the name of Christ. Paul furthernstructed them in the proper roles and relationships of husbands and wives, children, and servants and
masters, as well as encouraging them to continue in prayer and discreet behavior. They were to be anexample to the unsaved, with gracious speech, and wise conduct.
The book of Colossians sets the standard for the lordship and deity of Jesus Christ, the primary doc-trine that had been under attack among the believers at Colossae. The focus of Paul's letter was tobring the Colossians back to the foundational truth that Christ is the head, and everything and everyoneelse was to fall in line after Him. Paul knew that if this truth was not re-established, all other parts oftheir spiritual walk would be affected. Christ was to be a part of every area of their lives, and His pres-ence was to be evidenced by their obedience to His words. Paul desired to see the Colossians grow intheir faith, and move ahead in their walk with Christ. This desire motivated him to write this letter, oneof his most unique and personal communications found in the New Testament.
