found herself driving by herself from her home in Great Bend to the Bishop DeFalco Retreat Center in Amarillo.

“It was such a peaceful time,” Paula said, careful not to disclose too much about the experience.

The retreat is based in part on the Cursillo retreat experience. As well as faith-building, the ACTS experience focuses on commu-nity-building. In some regions, the ACTS retreat is presented as a par-ish retreat. But for more sparsely populated areas such as southwest Kansas, Paula imagines the retreat to be more diocesan-wide, as it is in Amarillo.

The name comes from ACTS 2, 42-47, which describes devot-ing oneself to the teachings of the apostles, to fellowship, to reaching out in loving service, and sharing the “breaking of the bread.”

Each ACTS retreat begins on Thursday evening with a “send-off” by family and friends and the ACTS community, and concludes on Sunday with Mass held at St. Mary Cathedral in Amarillo. It is run by a specially chosen director, co-

director and spiritual companion, including a team of 27, all of whom have attended a previous retreat. The directors choose a Scripture passage, and then design the retreat around that passage.

Although she said she hasn’t had the privilege of serving on a team, she has been at the “send-off” and closing Mass for several retreats. The men’s retreat provides a special joy for Paula.

“Women go willingly,” she said, laughing. “Men are usually coerced. When my husband went, all the way to Amarillo he was talking about the lamb going to the slaughter. He was a convert and had never been to anything remotely like that.

“To see the men on ‘send-off’ night, you can tell they really wish they weren’t there. Then, when you go to the closing Mass, they are different people. You can tell they’ve been filled with the Holy Spirit. It just amazes me! When my husband’s retreat was finished, he had a whole dif-ferent attitude. He told Bishop [John] Brungardt that the retreat changed his life.”

By DEANNA JONESDeanna Jones works in Pastoral Ministry at

the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe. She is enrolled in the Master of Arts in Theology program at Newman University. She is originally from Memphis, Tenn.

I attended an ACTS retreat in November of 2009. I was at an interesting place in my life....

I had finished a year of mission work in Mexico and had recently moved to San Antonio. Shortly after becoming involved with St. Mark the Evan-gelist Parish, I kept hearing more and more about this “ACTS” retreat that was so popular in the archdiocese. I was finally convinced to go, and the timing could not have been more perfect.

Even though I had given a year of service as a missioner, I was still searching for something, longing for something. The retreat experience was an incredible reminder that what I was so hungry for was God. Even though I knew that God loved me and cared for me, the weekend seemed to be full of moments where God kept whispering “This is how much I love you!” Somehow in the busyness of moving from one place to another, I had forgotten that.

Throughout the weekend I met amazing women from all walks of life and we shared an experience that bonded us in a special way. Although it has been almost two years since my ACTS retreat, I look back and see how God used that experi-ence to draw me closer to Him and to help me prepare for the journey ahead. ACTS not only helped renew my faith, but it also gave me the inspiration to really live my faith and encouraged

me to serve the Body of Christ. I highly encourage men and women to become involved in the ACTS retreat program. Not only does it transform one heart at a time, but it really builds up a sense of community and faith within the parish.

FIRST: As there is no day when both of the beings would be lying, at least one of them must have spoken the truth. They both speak the truth only on Sunday. However, the Lion would then be lying in his statement, so it couldn’t be said on Sunday. So exactly one of them lied.

If the Unicorn was honest, then it would have to be Sunday - but previously we proved this wrong. Thus only the Lion spoke the truth when he met Alice on Thursday and spoke with the Unicorn about Wednesday.

Father Warren Stecklein presided.

Father Hilgartner said. Until the late 16th century, holy books were reproduced by hand by

monks, making widespread distribution of sacred texts impractical. But long before the first missal was promulgated, a desire for consis-

tency in worship began to emerge. Some Mass prayers can be traced to the third century, said Rita Thiron, director of the Office of Worship in the Diocese of Lansing, Mich., citing the second eucharistic prayer, which dates to about 215.

In a series called “Welcoming the New Roman Missal” on the Lan-sing diocesan website, Thiron wrote that by the fourth century worship became more formalized because of a growing concern for orthodoxy. That concern led to standardization of prayers and readings in various rituals.

By the seventh and eighth centuries the sharing of prayer texts be-came more common, Father Hilgartner said. Sacramentaries also were assembled, the most notable being the Old Gelasian Sacramentary in the seventh and eighth centuries and the Gregorian Sacramentary in the late eighth century.

In 785, Pope Hadrian I gave a copy of the Gregorian Sacramentary to Charlemagne, king of the Franks, who unified liturgical practice in Western Europe by expanding the Sacramentary’s use among faith communities across the continent.

At the same time, Latin was becoming the language of the church. Father Daniel Merz, associate director of the USCCB’s Secretariat of Divine Worship, explained that the use of Latin took several hundred years to emerge, beginning in the third century; by the 10th century it was widespread.

“But even in Rome it’s interesting that the first several hundred years you can see there was this concern to have the language be in the language of the people,” he said.

After the Council of Trent it would be more than four centuries before the Roman Mass saw significant changes. Even though several popes granted concessions to missionaries to allow Mass to be celebrated in local languages to aid in evangelization -- including Mandarin in China in the early 14th century, Arabic for the Carmelites in Persia in 1624 and Iroquoian for the Jesuits in 1773 near modern-day Montreal -- Mass changed little until Vatican II.

The first document to emerge from Vatican II in 1963 was the Con-

stitution on the Sacred Liturgy (“Sacrosanctum Consilium”), which called for “full, conscious, and active participation” of all people in the liturgy. The missal reflecting those principles, known as the Missal of Paul VI, was approved in 1969.

That missal was translated into English by 1973 by the International Commission on English in the Liturgy, known as ICEL. It was slightly revised in 1975 with the addition of new eucharistic prayers for rec-onciliation. That English translation appeared in 1985 and remains the missal in use until Advent.

But some Vatican officials felt that version of the missal could be improved and set about working on still another translation.

In 2001, the third translation was issued. It incorporates the changes that will take effect at Advent. It took ICEL nearly a decade to translate the changes into English and gain Vatican approval, but not without tension.

Diocesan-based liturgists Ronzio and Thiron both have included a discussion of liturgical history in their workshops on implementing the translation after initially hearing from people who perceived the translation as betraying Vatican II’s promise. With knowledge of his-tory, the anger has largely disappeared, they said.

“One of the things (people) appreciate most about the Catholic faith is tradition,” Thiron said. “When they see tradition is being preserved, they’re comfortable with that.”

Revised Roman MissalContinued from Page 3

Father Scully said. “This church says it, every time we look at it.”

The structure, he added, also reflected the build-ers’ practical faith, “that they were not in the least bit ashamed that Catholicism was the path to their salvation.”

Dodge City Bishop John Brungardt celebrated the Mass and afterward told the gathering that his great-

grandparents were among those builders who toiled three years to construct the massive church.

Back then, each communicant 12 years of age and older was asked to deliver six wagon loads of native stone to the building site.

“There were a lot of Brungardts,” the bishop said, “so there’s lots of Brungardt stones in here.”
