STEWARDSHIP BULLETIN REFLECTION
“Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous; it is not pompous.”
(1 Corinthians 13:4)
DO you get jealous? Do you focus more
on the things that other people have
than on the gifts that God has given to
you? Are you pompous? Do you acquire
more possessions to impress others? At
times we are all guilty of these things.
Pray for more humility. Pray to become
less “self-centered” and become more “God-centered”.

The Teachings of the Church
CONSTITUTION ON THE SACRED LITURGY (SACROSANCTUM CONCILIUM)
CHAPTER II
THE MOST SACRED MYSTERY OF THE EUCHARIST
53. Especially on Sundays and feasts of obligation there is to be
restored, after the Gospel and the homily, "the common prayer" or
"the prayer of the faithful." By this prayer, in which the people are to
take part, intercession will be made for holy Church, for the civil
authorities, for those
oppressed by various needs,
for all mankind, and for the
salvation of the entire world.
54. In Masses which are
celebrated with the people,
a suitable place may be
allotted to their mother
tongue. This is to apply in
the first place to the
readings and "the common
prayer," but also, as local
conditions may warrant, to
those parts which pertain to
the people, according to the
norm laid down in Art. 36 of
this Constitution.
Nevertheless steps
should be taken so that the
faithful may also be able to
say or to sing together in
Latin those parts of the
Ordinary of the Mass which
pertain to them.
And wherever a more
extended use of the mother
tongue within the Mass
appears desirable, the
regulation laid down in Art.
40 of this Constitution is to
be observed.
55. That more perfect
form of participation in the Mass whereby the faithful, after the priest's
communion, receive the Lord's body from the same sacrifice, is
strongly commended.
The dogmatic principles which were laid down by the Council of
Trent remaining intact, communion under both kinds may be granted
when the bishops think fit, not only to clerics and religious, but also to
the laity, in cases to be determined by the Apostolic See, as, for
instance, to the newly ordained in the Mass of their sacred ordination,
to the newly professed in the Mass of their religious profession, and to
the newly baptized in the Mass which follows their baptism.
56. The two parts which, in a certain sense, go to make up the
Mass, namely, the liturgy of the word and the eucharistic liturgy, are
so closely connected with each other that they form but one single
act of worship. Accordingly this sacred Synod strongly urges pastors
of souls that, when instructing the faithful, they insistently teach
them to take their part in the entire Mass, especially on Sundays and
feasts of obligation.

“The same Spirit who
inspired the Gospels and
who acts in the Church also
inspires the preacher to hear
the faith of the God’s people
and to find the right way to
preach at each Eucharist.
Christian preaching thus
finds in the heart of people
and their culture a source of
living water, which helps
the preacher to know what
must be said and how to
say it. Just as all of us like
to be spoken to in our
mother tongue, so too in the
faith we like to be spoken to
in our “mother culture,” our
native language (cf. 2 Macc 7:21, 27), and our
heart is better disposed to
listen. This language is a
kind of music which
inspires encouragement,
strength and enthusiasm.”
