Works of Mercy and The Sacrament of Reconciliation

Posted on by

We had the Sacrament of Penance or The Sacrament of Reconciliation today. (Review: Blest Are We book pages: 164-168 Chapter 14)

Order-of-Confession

As a class we said the Act of Contrition (p.14):

My God,

I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
In choosing to wrong and failing to do good,
I have sin against you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intended, with your help,
to do penance
to sin no more,
and avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.
In His name, my God have mercy.

The New Commandment and the Works of Mercy Pages 215-221 Chapter19

(In class,  we did a Works of Mercy relay race. Each team member took a Saint Patrick Bottled water and wrote one of the works of mercy down on the board. Then he /she would pass the bottle on to his/her teammate to write a work of mercy on the board. this would continue until all 7 of the works of mercy were on the board.)

The Corporal Works of Mercy

  • Feed the hungry;
  • Drink to the thirsty;
  • Clothe the naked;
  • Shelter the homeless;
  • Visit the sick;
  • Visit those in prison;
  • Bury the dead.

 

The spiritual works of mercy are:

  • Teach the ignorant;
  • Help others do what is right;
  • Give advice to the doubtful;
  • Be patient with others;
  • Forgive injuries;
  • Comfort those who suffer;
  • Pray for the living and the dead.

Thank you

Continuation of Beatitudes and Doing God’s Will

What do the Commandments Mean?

Although the Protestant 10 Commandments are slightly different than the Catholic version, this is a good handout: http://www.biblewise.com/kids/fun/what-do-commandments.php

Non-Catholic Christians are called Protestants.

In the Catholic version of the Ten Commandments :

      • Catholic Commandment 1:  I am the Lord your God, You shall not have other gods besides me.  Includes  (Protestant Commandment 2) Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image.
      • Catholic Commandments 9 and 10 are combined together in the Protestant version:
        You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife.
        You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor

Ash Wednesday

Posted on by

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent. It is a season of penance, reflection, and fasting which prepares us for Christ’s Resurrection on Easter Sunday, through which we attain redemption.

Why we receive the ashes

Following the example of the Nine vites, who did penance in sackcloth and ashes, our foreheads are marked with ashes to humble our hearts and reminds us that life passes away on Earth. We remember this when we are told

“Remember, Man is dust, and unto dust you shall return.”

Ashes are a symbol of penance made sacramental by the blessing of the Church, and they help us develop a spirit of humility and sacrifice.

No CCD tonight.

Blest Are They Lyrics

1. Blest are they, the poor in spirit; theirs is the
kingdom of God. Blest are they, full of sorrow; they
shall be consoled.

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

2. Blest are they, the lowly ones: they shall inherit the
earth. Blest are they, who hunger and thirst; they shall
have their fill.

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

3. Blest are they, who show mercy; mercy shall be theirs.
Blest are they, the pure of heart; they shall see God!

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

4. Blest are they, who seek peace; they are the children
of God. Blest are they who suffer in faith; the glory of
God is theirs.

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

5. Blest are you, who suffer hate, all because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, yours is the kingdom of God; shine
for all to see.

Rejoice, and be glad! Blessed are you, holy are
you! Rejoice and be glad! Yours is the kingdom of God!

Adoration

This is our Adoration Chapel on Pomfret Street. Here is the Live Feed: http://173.163.188.10/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=1199

IMG_6605Fr. Forrey, Eucharist Adoration

IMG_6472

 

 

 

Tonight we are to have Adoration at Marsh Drive.

IMG_4402

Because Roman Catholics believe that Christ is truly present (Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity) in the Eucharist, the reserved sacrament serves as a focal point of adoration. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (item 1377) states that: “The Eucharistic presence of Christ begins at the moment of the consecration and endures as long as the Eucharistic species subsist.”[50][51]

Preparing the Children

  • The sign of the cross
  • Embrace moments of silence mixed with a few words from Holy Scripture or meditations to help the adorers listen to Jesus in the silence of their hearts
  • Offer intentions silently and then take turns sharing our petitions aloud.
  • Let the children know their adoration is VERY IMPORTANT

Short Phrases of Adoration

Short phrases of adoration can be done anytime or anywhere

  • Hello Jesus!
  • Lord, I adore You; I bow in Your Holy Presence.
  • Why are we here? Because Jesus invites you!
  • Jesus, I give You my heart!
  • He only wants a few minutes. Can we give that to Him?
  • Lord, I adore You. I respect Your Holy Presence.
  • Look at the Host and the crucifix. What is the difference?

  • How does He reduce Himself to be present in a little piece of bread?
  • Nothing is impossible to God!
  • My God, My God, I love You in the Most Blessed Sacrament!

Baptism in our Church:


We visit the Baptismal Font in the Sanctuary
The Pascal candle and the Sacramental Chrism oils are store in the Ambry—
(the special glass cabinet on the wall).


Holy Water (Symbol of the Holy Spirit)is kept on the left and poured over the catechumenate (person to be baptized) into the basin on the right. The center drain leads right to the ground so the holy water will not be dumped into the septic. The baptized person receives a Candle–“Receive the Light of Christ” and puts on a White Garment–“Putting on Christ”

Confirmation in the Spirit. Our Baptismal vows are strengthened. Chapter 10 pp.120-124

If we have time we will reenact a baptism in the church
