Clergy Thoughts !This is the last in my series on praying with the Body, Mind and Voice. I have discussed Procession and Posture. Today will discuss gestures.!!

Making the Sign of the Cross. We begin and end Mass and most of our pr ivate prayers with the Sign of the Cross. Because it was his death on the Cross that Christ redeemed humankind, we trace the Sign of the Cross on our foreheads, lips and hearts at the beginning of the Gospel, pray-ing that the Word of God may be always on our lips, on our minds, and in our hearts. The cross reminds us in a physical way of the Passion Mystery we celebrate: the Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.!!Bowing. Bowing signifies reverence, respect, and gratitude. In the Creed we bow at the words that commemorate the Incarnation. We also bow as a sign of reverence before we receive Communion. The priest and other ministers bow to the altar, a symbol of Christ, when entering or leaving the sanctuary. As a sign of respect and reverence even in our speech, we bow our heads at the name of Jesus, at the mention of the Three Persons of the Trinity, at the name of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and at the name of the saint whose particular feast of memorial is being observed. !!Genuflecting. As a sign of adoration, we genuflect by br inging our r ight knee to the floor . Many people also make the Sign of the Cross as they bend their knee. Traditionally, Catholics genuflect on entering and leaving the church if the Blessed Sacrament is present in the sanctuary of the Church. !!Orans. The pr iest frequently uses this ancient prayer posture, extending his hands to his sides, slightly elevated. Orans means ‘praying’. Early Christian art frequently depicts the saints and others standing in this posture, offering their prayers and surrendering themselves, with hands uplifted to the Lord in a gesture that echoes Christs outstretched arms as he offered himself on the Cross.!!

The Church sees in these common postures and gestures both a symbol of the unity of those who have come together to worship and also a means of fostering that unity. We are not free to change these postures to suit our own individual piety; for the Church makes it clear that our unity of posture and gestures is an expression of our participation in the one Body formed by the baptized with Christ. When we stand, kneel, sit, bow and sign ourselves in common action we give witness that we are indeed the Body of Christ, united in body, mind and voice.!!

Eucharistic Corner

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Who-ever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world" Jn. 6:51. The sixth chapter of the Gospel of John contain the Bread of Life discourse, in which Jesus states that His flesh and blood are true food and drink come down from Heaven which must be eaten to have eternal life. That statement was a decisive point for many of Jesus’ disci-ples, who then turned back from following Him. Take this time to examine our own beliefs. If we truly believe the Eucharist is actually Christ’s Body and Blood, and we receive God (God, who has the power to create the uni-verse) into our physical body every Sunday, how should this change the way we live? _____

Picnic & a Hike!Topic: “Family Portrait: !

Understanding the Generations”!

Let’s start off summer with a walk on the Ernst Trail! Tuesday, June 5th we’ll meet at the trailhead off of Rt. 19 south (From the intersection of 322 and Rt. 19, go 1.9 miles to Krider Rd. Turn left on Krider, & the Ernst Trail is .2 miles on the right). We’ll have a picnic supper at 6:00 pm followed by a brief talk, then head out for a walk on the Ernst Trail. Anyone can come, walk at your own pace or if you like, bring your bike! For planning purpos-es, please call Amy if you plan to attend. 333!2274 ext. 2. ____ It’s parish directory time! We are in the planning stages of having a new tri!parish directory done in the late summer (no exact dates are set yet). The directory will have all three churches in their own section, but put together in one book. LifeTouch will be coming three sep-arate times to set up at each parish.� For this endeavor to run smoothly we’ll need people to help on the actual pic-ture days by taking a 2!3 hour slot to man tables and sign people in. There will be more information in the coming weeks, but if you would like to help out, please contact Amy 333!2274 ext. 2. Thank you! ____ Queen of Heaven: Mary’s Battle for You: �Thursday, June 7th, from 6:00 ! 7:30 pm at St. Mary Center.
