TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

It’s Independence Day week, and there is a link worth tracing between the Declaration of Independence and the language of liturgy. One of the signers of the Declaration on that July 4 long ago was Charles Carroll, probably the wealthiest man in the colonies and one of the few Catholics on the political scene. As a flourish to his signature, he sought to distinguish himself from other prominent citizens bearing the same name by penning “Charles Carroll of Carrolltown”—a defiant “come and get me if you dare” postscript aimed at the British. Carroll’s brother John was a priest and patriot who in 1789 was given the task of organizing the Catholic Church in this country. By 1791 he had assembled a synod, or assembly of delegates, to launch that task formally. Archbishop Carroll wanted to gain acceptance of our faith by American people who mistrusted our customs and could not comprehend our liturgy. He made the amazing proposal to Rome that our liturgy should be prayed not in Latin, but in the vernacular, English. His wish was denied, but one hundred sixty years later, his deep desire helped the American bishops and scholars at the Second Vatican Council to win the vote in favor of the vernacular not just for the United States, but for the Church throughout the world.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Hace algunos años, el cantante de rock Carlos Santana y el grupo roquero Maná ganaron un premio en los “Latin Grammys” por su canción: “Corazón espinado”. Esta bella canción es de un hombre que lamenta el dolor que una mujer le ha causado. No la puede olvidar, porque ella le ha dejado el corazón espinado. Esta canción siempre me recuerda al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, corazón rodeado por una corona de espinas e inflamado por el amor que le tiene a su mujer, la Iglesia, es decir, nosotros. La devoción al Sagrado Corazón proviene de una monja francesa, santa Margarita María Alacoque a quien Jesús le mostró su corazón en junio de 1675. Jesús le dijo que su corazón arde de amor por los seres humanos, pero los cristianos sólo lo ofendemos con insultos, ingratitud e indiferencias. ¿Cuántas veces, como Iglesia o como individuos, le hemos espinado el corazón al Señor? Y aun así, la imagen del corazón espinado e inflamado de Jesús nos sigue cantando y llamando para que seamos suyos. Si regresamos a él, Jesucristo nos promete doce bendiciones de paz, consolación, fervor y otras gracias.

The Assembly’s Book

Ritual Song / Second Edition

There are three principal liturgical books of the Catholic liturgy that comprise the Missal: The priest’s book or the Sacramentary, the Deacon’s book or the Lectionary and the Assembly’s book: the Hymnal. Each role; Priest (celebrant) Deacon (Reader) and Assembly has important and integral roles to fulfill. Each has its book to help fulfill that role.

Our new Ritual Song hymnal is such a book that includes music that has withstood the test of time; it has the best of new music and the most successful mass settings and service music written since the implementation of the Revised Order of Mass in 2010. The hymnal has an expanded repertoire of music for rituals surrounding the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, funerals, weddings, Stations of the Cross and other popular forms of prayer and devotions. With an expanded repertoire of music in the Lectionary Psalter (three different settings) our hymnal helps us to meet the musical needs of our community embrace a broad range of worship styles. These include a broad range repertoire from Gregorian chant to the latest compositions from a host of publishers representing the needs of the 21st century Church, and a diversity of languages for multilingual worship services. Making this hymnal a state of the art hymnal from a host of publishers representing the needs of the 21st century church. We here at St. Clement of Rome would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the generous donors who have supported our new hymnal project by dedicating a hymnal in honor of a loved one.

FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTIONS July 7

We are offering our regularly scheduled morning Rosary and Mass in atonement for sin and for the conversion of the United States. We invite you to join us for these First Saturday devotions at 7:45.

VOCATION CHALICE SIGN-UP

If you are interested in signing up to take the vocation chalice for a week, please stop by the Parish Center at 887-7821. Many weeks are available from July through the end of the year.

O LORD, BE MY HELP Today we encounter readings that draw us into the mystery of suffering and death. In the past few years we have witnessed the devastation of life and property through earthquakes and hurricanes. So many lifted their lament to God, simply asking, “Why?” This is an honest expression of anger toward a God who we believe is the giver of life. When we lose a loved one, we can wonder why the presence of Christ is not enough to make that person rise, even from death, as did the little girl in today’s Gospel passage. Again we raise our voices and ask, “Why?” At moments such as these, let us make the prayer of the psalmist our own: “Hear, O Lord, and have pity on me; O Lord, be my helper.” Let us pray that our mourning will one day be turned into dancing.

HORA SANTA El próximo jueves, 5 de julio, tendremos una Hora Santa en español a las 7:00 PM en nuestra iglesia. Comenzaremos con la exposición del Santísimo y concluiremos con la Bendición del Santísimo a las 8:00. ¡Todos están invitados a adorar a nuestro Señor en esta tradición de los primeros jueves!

AYÚDAME, SEÑOR

Hoy escuchamos lecturas que nos acercan al misterio de sufrimiento y muerte. En los últimos años hemos sido testigos de la devastación de vidas y propiedades a manos de tsunamis y huracanes. Muchos elevaron su lamento a Dios y preguntaron: “¿Por qué?” Esta es una expresión sincera de ira hacia un Dios que creemos da la vida. Cuando perdemos a un ser querido, puede que nos preguntemos por qué la presencia de Cristo no es suficiente para hacer que esa persona resucite, incluso de entre los muertos, como la pequeña niña del pasaje del Evangelio de hoy. Entonces alzamos la voz y preguntamos: “¿Por qué?” En momentos como estos, debemos acudir a la oración del salmista: “¡Escucha Señor y ten piedad de mí; Señor, socórreme”. Recemos para que nuestro luto algún día se convierta en danza.
