ELECTION YEAR, QUOTES, FIRST THINGS FIRST
In this Election Year we should practise tolerance
and good grace, as we endure the words of politicians and the media.
Next, a couple of quotes. We'll try to make this regular,and
words from "Why we do the things we do" - there are 75 items, tell us if you like this sort of thing.
"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.
I just wish that he didn't trust me so much."
Mother Teresa
"Prayer is the laying aside of thoughts"
CE 399 Evagrius Pontius
"Why we do the things we do"
First Things First
The initial part of the Mass (The introductory Rites) is
an important time for gathering and preparation.
The entrance song helps to open the celebration, unite
us as a body and lead our thoughts towards the mystery of God's love which we have come to celebrate. The Priest's greeting (The Lord be with you) and the congregation's response (And also with you) affirms that Christ is present in our midst.
This is a time for focusing on the importance of the
opportunity to worship that lies before us.
