Sending Forth

The message in the Gospel today is initially difficult to reconcile with our image of Jesus as the Prince of Peace; or with his own actions in his life, meeting persecution and violence, even to death on a cross, with love and forgiveness. The idea that Jesus came to bring division and to set the earth on fire is challenging. But fire is not only destructive, fire can be purifying, fire can bring light to the darkness. When we understand Jesus’ words in the context of early Christianity we see that division was indeed a hallmark of the faith. The Romans viewed Christianity the way we would perceive a cult today, a marginalized, even dangerous, fringe group. For people to follow Jesus meant that they would be set against their friends and families and in danger of not only being ostracized, but executed. The Gospel message is not only a historical one, even today, we must expect to face persecution for our faith. In other parts of the world, people face the same dangers as the early Christians, imprisonment or death. Here in the United States, we are fortunate that religious freedom is such that we are unlikely to face such a dire consequence, but we do not escape division. If we consider our lives, we can all find moments when we have held to an unpopular tenet of our faith, defying a member of our family or a good friend, perhaps even losing that relationship. If we are truly living the message of the Gospels, lifting up the poor, the downtrodden, the marginalized, we are likely to experience marginalization ourselves. The idea that the Kingdom of God will welcome the poor and humble, while sending away the rich and powerful is not a popular one in our society, or any society where power and wealth are the dominant social forces. How can we prevail? First, we have the example of Jesus, who met persecution and prejudice with love and compassion. And we are on fire with our faith! St. Catherine of Siena said, “Be who God meant you to be, and you will set the world on fire!” How are you working to set the world ablaze with the Good News?

First Reading — They took Jeremiah and threw him into the cistern (Jeremiah 38:4-6, 8-10).

Psalm — Lord, come to my aid! (Psalm 40).

Second Reading — Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith (Hebrews 12:1-4).

Gospel — I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing (Luke

LITURGY VAULT “The liturgy is celebrated for God and not for ourselves;

it is His work; He is the subject; and we must open ourselves to Him” (Pope Benedict XVI, 3 October 2012).

THE ORDER OF MASS: THE LITURGY OF THE WORD – PART 12

The Homily

Following the solemn reading or proclamation of the Gospel comes the homily, which the Second Vatican Council taught that “the mysteries of the faith and the guiding principles of the Christian life are expounded from the sacred text, during the course of the liturgical year; the homily, therefore, is to be highly esteemed as part of the liturgy itself; in fact, at those Masses which are celebrated with the assistance of the people on Sundays and feasts of obligation, it should not be omitted except for a serious reason” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium (4 December 1964), n. 52).

“The Homily is based on the usual practice in a synagogue, such as was followed by Jesus at Nazareth. The Apostles also followed this custom when the faithful gathered for the Eucharist. The early Fathers continued the practice and several volumes of homilies are extant. The term relates primarily to preaching during Mass, which is reserved to priests and deacons. The catechetical and thematic sermon, another method of fulfilling the teaching office of the priesthood, has its place apart from Mass at some special place or time. Lay persons may preach this type of sermon in certain circumstances or in particular cases as prescribed by the Conference of Bishops” (Rev. Jovian P. Lang, OFM, Dictionary of the Liturgy (1989), p. 255).

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal says that homilies are “necessary for the nurturing of the Christian life. It should be an exposition of some aspect of the readings from Sacred Scripture or of another text from the Ordinary or from the Proper of the Mass of the day and should take into account both the mystery being celebrated and the particular needs of the listeners” (n. 65).

The celebrant gives the homily either at the chair (standing or sitting), or at the ambo (cf. General Introduction to the Lectionary, n. 26), after which “a brief period of silence is appropriately observed” (General Instruction of the Roman Missal, n. 66).

According to the General Introduction to the Lectionary, “[t]he purpose of the homily at Mass is that the spoken word of God and the liturgy of the eucharist may together become ‘a proclamation of God’s wonderful works in the history of salvation, the mystery of Christ’ (Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 35, 2). Through the readings and homily Christ’s paschal mystery is proclaimed; through the sacrifice of the Mass it becomes present. Moreover, Christ himself is also always present and active in the preaching of his Church” (n. 24).

“Whether the homily explains the biblical word of God proclaimed in the readings or some other text of the liturgy, it must always lead the community of the faithful to celebrate the eucharist wholeheartedly, ‘so that they may hold fast in their lives to what they have grasped by their faith’ (Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 10). From this living explanation, the word of God proclaimed in the readings and the Church’s celebration of the day’s liturgy will have greater impact. But this demands that the homily be truly the fruit of meditation, carefully prepared, neither too long nor too short, and suited to all those present, even children and the uneducated. At a concelebration, the celebrant or one of the concelebrants as a rule gives the homily” (General Introduction to the Lectionary, n. 24).

A MESSAGE FROM JUNIPERO SERRA SCHOOL PRINCIPAL: STEVE HENDERSON

One of my favorite Gospel stories is in the Gospel of Luke, The Boy Jesus in the Temple. I like this part of the Gospel because I imagine and visualize the boy Jesus. What a wonderful and amazing child he must have been! As I am a teacher and now as a school principal, I imagine Jesus in school. I think in the Gospel of Luke we get the closest account of what he must have been like in perhaps the fourth, fifth or sixth grade.

“After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.” Luke 2:46

Here is Jesus modeling being a good student! Listening to teachers and asking questions, the very definition of how to engage in active learning!

I am thinking of this because Carmel Mission’s Junipero Serra school starts next Tuesday August 20th. This last week teachers have worked to prepare the school and their classrooms for the students. There has been much energy and excitement and now we are ready!

I invite you to join us for the Opening Ceremony. Here is the schedule:

8:00 Principal Henderson- Welcome speech 8:05 Blessing of new school American flag by

Father Paul 8:10 Student council color guards raise the flag 8:15 All school Pledge of Allegiance 8:20 Principal Henderson Motivational Speech 8:30 Closing Prayer 8:35 School begins and Parents are invited to stay

for Q&A with Mr. Henderson

I thank you for your sense of Stewardship and your great generosity. —Fr Paul, Pastor

LA CONQUISTADORA ~ OUR LADY OF BETHLEHEM The statue of Our Lady of Bethlehem, located in the chapel on the left side of the Basilica, is an original artifact of the Carmel Mission and is California’s first statue arriving in 1769. It is the oldest statue of Our Lady on the west coast of America.

The Archbishop of Mexico City gave the beautiful statue to the Inspector General of New Spain who gave it to Fr. Serra and Capt. Gaspar de Portolá for the expedition to Alta California. She was to be the patron of the expedition and was called La Conquistadora. This was a common custom of many of the Spanish expeditions.

While the literal translation of La Conquistadora into English may sound like the “Lady Conqueror”, that is not what the Spanish language intends according to scholars. The name most closely suggests that she is Our

Lady of the Conquest of Alta California but even that conveys only the image of Spanish arms. It reflects little of the joy of bringing her presence and good fortune to the new lands which was the intention.

The oldest shrine to Our Lady in the US is a 28 inch tall, carved wooden statue in the Cathedral of St. Francis in Santa Fe, New Mexico also called “La Conquistadora.” Carved in Spain, she arrived with early colonists in 1625. The statue was installed in the mission church of The Assumption. The Fiesta de Santa Fe, the nation’s oldest community celebration, incorporates this statue in its annual celebration.

In 1955, Fr. Algelico Chavez of Santa Fe proposed that their statue go to Los Angeles for the Marian Year celebration. Mission Curator Harry Downie suggested that our Conquistadora go to Los Angeles to meet the Conquistadora of Santa Fe which was an old Spanish custom of having 2 virgins of different towns meeting each other halfway. Fr. Chavez questioned the authenticity of our Conquistadora but after much discussion and investigation of historical records, it was agreed that our Mission had the La Conquistadora of California which came 144 years after the La Conquistadora of Santa Fe.

This insight into the Mission history was provided by the Carmel Mission Docent Association. If you would like to find out more about becoming a Docent, please contact Nancy Hardy at [email protected] or 831-624-8846.

Dear Friends of Carmel Mission,

How does one describe the sound of joy and happiness, the sound of energy and exuberance, the sound of friendship and fun?

For me, when our Junipero Serra School is back from the summer break, and the students gather in the playground, their voices describe all of the above, and more...

Our wonderful school, the school with a Mission, is located in a beautiful place, an historic place, a sacred place. We have not spared any effort to make that place as safe and secure as possible.

Students at our school receive a Catholic education, which focuses on the development of the whole person, body, mind and spirit. They learn about the greatest teacher who ever lived, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. They not only learn about Him, but they develop a relationship with Him, which has a huge influence on their behavior.

We are truly blessed with our teachers, who are among the most dedicated teachers you will find anywhere. We are also blessed with our new Principal, Mr. Henderson, who has already shared some of his exciting plans with our parents, our teachers and our parishioners. He realizes that our school is a good news story that needs to be told more often and to more people. He has already made his own the saying associated with the first teacher in this sacred place - St. Junipero Serra

“Always forward, never back”.

Our school depends on the support of people like you. Without your faith in Catholic education and your willingness to donate to that great cause, we would not be able to continue. Please feel free to contact either Mr. Henderson or myself to learn more about our wonderful school.

May those joyful playground sounds echo in our hearts and minds, and may we say a prayer of gratitude to God for giving us all those people in our lives who taught us well.

Blessings,

Fr. Paul
