TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The achievement of the late 1960s and early 1970s in enriching the “euchology” or “words of thanksgiving”

available in the Church’s prayer is important on many levels. Ecumeni-cally, it means that the Latin Rite now reflects the wealth of the East in having more than one prayer available to the Church. Pastorally, it actually acknowledges the place of the assembly in prayer, which is particularly clear in the Masses

with Children. In fact, the traditional prayers of the East-ern Church served as models for our new prayers. In the East, what we call the Eucharistic Prayer is called the anaphora, and there are three main families of anaphora. Each family has a different “recipe” for arranging the usual parts of these prayers. All anaphora have “intercessions” included, but the Churches of Antioch place them toward the end of the prayer, Alexandria pre-fers them at the beginning before the “Holy, Holy,” and Syria puts them at the very end. One branch of the Syrian family is unique in not mentioning the words of Jesus at the Last Supper. The Roman Canon we once prayed ex-clusively has some connection with the Alexandrian fam-ily, but once the signal for creativity was given, all the wealth of every prayer tradition was on the table, and our Sunday Mass has been greatly enriched.

Inside Our Sacred Space (By: D.D. Emmons)

AMBRY FOR HOLY OILS:

Each church stores holy oils for use in vari-ous ceremonies. New oils are blessed annu-ally during Holy Week by the Bishop at the chrism Mass and then distributed to par-ishes. The oils are: the Oil of the Catechu-mens, the Oil of the Sick and the Chrism. They are kept locked in an ambry, a French word meaning wall safe or cupboard. Our Catechism says, “The Sacred Chrism (myron), used in anointings as the sacra-mental sign of the seal of the gift of the Holy Spirit, is traditionally reserved and vener-ated in a secure place in the sanctuary. The Oil of Catechumens and the Oil of the Sick may also be placed there” (CCC, No. 1183). To be continued . . .

LISTEN TO YOUR DREAMS God visits Solomon in a dream, and the scrip-ture story nowhere tells us that Solomon awoke to have this conversation with God! So, still in his dream, Solomon answers God’s question about what he desires most, and God grants his request for wisdom in abundance. In our waking hours, we are much distracted by work, home, family, traffic, entertainment, and many worries. When we try to think about what we really want out of life, we have trouble even imagining what that might be. But deep inside, our real longings dwell, known to God and to the Holy Spirit. Our dreams, unencumbered by defenses, may hold clues to what our deepest needs are, or what both-ers us most. They could be God speaking.
