COMMUNION SERVICE

will be celebrated in lieu of the

9am Morning Mass

Question: On our pulpit there is an eagle,

a lion, an angel, and a bull. What do they represent?

Answer:

Each symbol represents a Gospel. These symbols helped people to

differentiate the Gospels at a time when most people could not read. The image of a man or angel rep-resents the Gospel of Matthew and signifies Christ's human na-

ture. The lion, a symbol of royalty and power, represents the Gospel

of Mark and denotes Christ the King. The ox or calf, the sacrificial victim, represents the Gospel of

St. Luke and highlights the priestly character of Christ's mission. The eagle stands for the Gospel of St.

John because his theology is much more developed than the three

synoptic Gospels. Just as an eagle soars above the earth, so John's theology soars above the other

Gospels. The symbols for the Syn-optics probably come from how

each one begins. One of the initial lines of the Gospel of Mark be-

gins: "A voice of one crying out in the desert." In the wilderness you can hear the roar of the lion for miles around. Matthew's Gospel opens with the genealogy of Je-

sus, and represents Jesus' human roots. The Gospel of Luke opens with the story of Zechariah the

high priest who offered a sacrifice of a bull on behalf of the nation.


WHY DO WE DO THAT?

CATHOLIC TRADITIONS EXPLAINED

Attention Business Owners, Professionals and Self Employed

We would like to thank our current advertisers for renewing their ad and thereby continuing their support of our church. Our bulletin is a primary way we use to

communicate with you. Through our arrangement with the Liturgical Publications Inc, the church does not pay for the bulletin printing, which saves us thousands of dollars every year. Our bulletin is supported through the generosity

of the advertisers—many of whom are our own church parishioners or members of our local community. Please support our advertisers with your patronage.

Tell the business owner that you appreciate their support of our church through their advertising in the bulletin. We print 750 bulletins every week and on

Christmas and Easter 1250. This is a quick, practical, and business savvy way to reach many people.

A strong and vibrant bulletin is good for our community and a strong business community is good for our church.

To obtain information about advertising in our bulletin, please contact the church office or call Michelle Arden directly

@ 1-262-207-2516 or email: [email protected]. Michelle will be present at our parish from May 1st to May 4th

if you would like to stop in and ask questions. Keep in mind; our advertising sponsors make the bulletin possible.
