Mass is not a social gathering. Those who recognize the Real Presence of the Lord in the Church show respect, reverence, and pride.

5 WEEKDAY READINGS SCRIPTURE INSIGHTS MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 2017 ST. SIXTUS II, POPE ST. CAJETAN, PRIEST NUMBERS 11:4B-15 MATTHEW 14:13-21 And he was transfigured before them. What awesome, mysterious words! Though unfamiliar to us, early Christians would have recognized the idea of transfiguration. In Jewish apocalyptic tradition, concerned with revelations about the end of time, the verb metamorphoo pointed to the miraculous change of form to be experienced by God s faithful in the age to come after a time of intense earthly suffering. Although that verb isn t used in the vision of the prophet Daniel, the scene he pictures bears some similarities to the Gospel scene: one Like a Son of Man is given glory and kingship by God ( the Ancient One ). The phrase Son of Man in its most generic meaning, a human being here refers to an exalted figure who comes in triumph at the end of time. The title is commonly used for Jesus in the Gospel accounts (see Matthew 16:27). All three synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) situate the event on a mountain. In biblical tradition, human beings usually encounter God on mountains. The Transfiguration account in Matthew (as in Mark) comes just after Jesus prediction of his Passion and his teaching that disciples must be prepared to follow the same way. It also follows Peter s confession that Jesus is the Messiah, and so this majestic scene of Jesus in the presence of Moses and Elijah (who represent the Law and the Prophets), his face glowing, as did Moses face when he received the Commandments, reinforce Peter s insight that Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is transformed into a glory, or brilliant light, evoking the radiance of God. The transformation experienced at that moment was but a preview and perhaps a preparation for the glory that would be his when he rose from the dead. TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 2017 ST. DOMINIC, PRIEST NUMBERS 12:1-13 MATTHEW 14:22-36 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2017 ST. TERESA BENEDICTA OF THE CROSS, VIRGIN & MARTYR NUMBERS 13:1-2, 25 14:1, 26-29A, MATTHEW 15:21-28 THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 2017 FEAST OF ST. LAWRENCE, DEACON & MARTYR 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-10 JOHN 12:24-26 FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2017 ST. CLARE, VIRGIN DEUTERONOMY 4:32-40 MATTHEW 16:24-28 SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 2017 ST. JANE FRANCES DE CHANTAL DEUTERONOMY 6:4-13 MATTHEW 17:14-20 How many references to light can you find in all of the readings? What do you make of them? At what other time have we heard the same words from God about Jesus? When have you had a transfiguration experience? What was it like? Aunque no hay un Código de Vestimento escrito sobre cómo deben vestirse los fieles cuando asisten a la Misa, el sentido común dicta vestimento adecuado y modesto y un ambiente de silencio y devoción cuando en la Presencia Real del Señor. La Misa no es una reunión social. Aquellos que reconocen la Presencia Real del Señor en la Iglesia muestran respeto, reverencia y orgullo.
