OLG public Mass re-opening guidelines

1. During the time of the Corona virus pandemic, Archbishop Naumann has given Catholics in the Archdiocese a dispensation from attending in person public Mass. 2. Anyone feeling uncomfortable coming back to public Mass knowing the risks involved should stay home, especially those in high risk groups such as people with serious underlying medical conditions & the elderly. 3. Those consciously choosing to take the risk to attend public Mass must wear a mask and bring their personal hand sanitizer and a towel to cover the upper part of the pew in front of you that you will touch during Mass. 4. During consecration time, all people will stand up, or be seated if unable to stand up for long, so that you avoid touching the kneelers. 5. A six feet social distance must be kept from other people. Only those living in the same household can sit together in proximity. 6. Mass cannot last more than 45 minutes as directed by Archbishop Naumann. There will be no congregational singing, only an accompanist & a cantor. 7. People cannot congregate socializing before or after Mass per Archdiocese and CDC guidelines. Please go home immediately after Mass. The Church will be sanitized after mass to be ready for the next group. 8. Holy Communion will be given only in the hand. 9. OLG can only safely accommodate 48 people seated in the pews using every 3rd pew keeping the 6 foot distance in between people to comply with Archdiocesan & CDC guidelines. 10. Access to the church will be only through the main front entrance. 11. Please call the Church office (232-5088) be-tween 1:00-3:30pm Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thurs-day to register to attend Mass.

*Thanks for your cooperation, patience & understanding as we go through this unprecedented time!!

CONFESSIONS The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be celebrated on Wednesdays from 6-8 pm in the Activity Center. Please bring a mask and be brief.

MEDITACIÓN DEL EVANGELIO

Setenta veces siete, son muchas las veces que hay que perdonar. Perdonar no es fa cil, y Pedro lo sabí a, por eso propone una cifra cuantitativa. Sin embargo, Jesu s va ma s alla de esa cifra, dando una respuesta inesperada. “Jesu s, le contesto: No te digo siete, sino setenta y siete veces”. (Mateo 18:21-22). Enseguida, Jesu s, narra como ensen anza cateque tica la para bola del que no perdono a su compan ero. El perdo n no debe tener lí mites, lo decimos todos los dí as al rezar el Padrenuestro. Perdonar al hermano, a la hermana, al amigo, a la esposa, al esposo de corazo n, sinceramente, sin medida. Difí cil ¿verdad? Todo el relato de la para bola, muestra un contraste muy grande, entre la persona que debe mucho y la bondad del rey. Al perdonarle todo sin esperar nada a cambio. Ya perdonada la deuda, surge el hecho de un compan ero que debí a poco y e ste se pone muy exigente que le pague. La ensen anza aquí es ver la infinita misericordia de Dios que supera la exigencia del compan ero ingrato con su amigo. El Sen or Jesu s, nos perdona en el Sacramento de la Reconciliacio n. El confesarse no ha pasado de moda como muchos creyentes piensan. El Papa Francisco dice que: “Dios nunca se cansa de perdonar, somos nosotros los que nos cansamos de pedir perdo n”. ¿Cua ntas veces acudes al Sacramento de la Reconciliacio n? Cuando perdonas ¿lo haces desde el fondo de tu corazo n? Pidamos, al Sen or en la Eucaristí a de este Domingo, que nos de la gracia de saber perdonar al que nos ofende. ©LPi

GOSPEL MEDITATION What right do we have to limit the amount and degree of for-giveness we show to others when we are so desperately in need of it ourselves? In not wanting someone who hurt us to downplay or forget the gravity of their wrong, we cling to an-ger, resentment, and wrath as a way of maintaining control. It is a way to acknowledge and express our deep hurt. We fail to realize that in doing so we hold ourselves hostage to these destructive feelings and actually become mired in the bond-age of sin. All we gain is further alienation from ourselves, others, and especially God. We are no longer free but tethered to all of this unresolved negativity. Don’t we really want to let it go? The fact is that we need to. A good self-reflective posture will quickly show us that when the shoe is on the other foot and we are the ones in need of forgiveness, we desire it above anything else. This is especial-ly true with our relationship with God. It is hypocritical to want one thing for ourselves and something else for another. Yet, many act in precisely this way. Perhaps we think that in offering forgiveness, even for the most grievous of wrongs, somehow excuses the person of their wrong and makes it almost acceptable. This is what makes revenge, retaliation, and punishment so attractive. We see forgiveness as being an eraser that easily wipes away the offense without consequence. Or, we may believe that in of-fering forgiveness I must somehow forget the wrong and open myself as a victim of even greater possible hurts in the future. In fact, forgiving my sister or brother of their wrongful ac-tions or attitudes involves none of this. It does not erase any-thing or position me vulnerably as a doormat to be walked on. Forgiveness is an act of freedom that restores honest dia-logue, shares true, and heartfelt feelings and acknowledges the consequences of an action. It admits that the wrong has caused a hurt that must be healed and squarely positions re-sponsibility on the offender. The act of forgiveness recognizes our sinfulness and brokenness. It also admits that the most saintly among us is capable of doing very grave and deep harm to another person. It sees that we all can be victims of our passions and works in progress that deserve unlimited chances to get it right. With forgiveness, I release myself from the bonds of negativity and pursue a path of restoration, wholeness, and healing. I do not forget the wrong nor do I dismiss it. Sometimes, we have to stay far away from the one who hurt us. But we can still heal internally and be free. For the one who wants to be forgiven and the one who needs offer forgiveness, the journey can be an adventure in learning what brought us to this place and what is needed to move forward. This is exactly how God treats us. Why would we not want to do the same for others? ©LPi
