Today s custom of placing this portion in a tabernacle for prayer and adoration by the faithful cannot be traced back much beyond the year 1,000, much to almost everyone s surprise. There is simply no historical evidence of the Blessed Sacrament being present in a church for the purpose of having the faithful visit it or pray before it earlier in the church s history. People did visit, of course, but the center of their attention was the altar, symbol of Christ s sacrifice and the touchpoint between heaven and earth. Shrines and devotional altars abounded in medieval churches, but anything we might describe as a Blessed Sacrament chapel would be hard to find. Amazingly, the Eucharist was first kept in private houses for the purpose of Holy Communion at home. As for church, the custom gradually developed of suspending a vessel shaped like a dove somewhere in the church, often over the altar. In the hovering bird, a few hosts, enough to satisfy the pastoral needs of the dying, would be secreted. The priest would lower the dove on a pulley as needed, but it wasn t a focus of devotion by visitors to the church. It was simply a way of reassuring bishops who were nervous about safeguarding the Eucharist. The dove solution caught on in England and France after Crusaders came in contact with the custom in their travels in the Orthodox East. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

(justuandi@verizon.net) Welcoming Ministry Phyllis Simonich (phyllis.simonich@verizon.net) NEXT SUNDAY S READINGS First Reading -- Thus says the LORD GOD: I will open your graves, have you rise from them, and settle you on your land. (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Psalm -- With the Lord there is mercy and fullness of redemption (Psalm 130). Second Reading -- If Christ is in you, the spirit is alive even if the body is dead because of sin (Romans 8:8-11). Gospel -- Lazarus, dead for four days, came out of his tomb when Jesus called his name. Many of those who had seen what had happened began to believe in Jesus (John 11:1-45 [3-7, 17, 20-27, 33b-45]).

St. Julie Billiart Penitential Service March 27th at 7:00pm We will be holding our Lenten Penance Service on March 27, 2017.

Below is a guide to explain and aid you in your examination of conscience. CONSCIENCE Our examination of conscience helps us to reflect on our lives and our relationship with Jesus.

6 St. Julie Billiart Penitential Service March 27th at 7:00pm We will be holding our Lenten Penance Service on March 27, Priests from our deanery and the seminary will be present for this sacrament. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to help prepare for the celebration of Christ s Resurrection. Below is a guide to explain and aid you in your examination of conscience. CONSCIENCE Our examination of conscience helps us to reflect on our lives and our relationship with Jesus. Where are we falling short? Where must we change our lives so that our actions are more in line with how Jesus would want us to act? We must review the Ten Commandments. How am I doing with these guidelines in my life? Am I trying to live my life as Jesus would want me to? What changes would Jesus want me to make right now? Confession Am I prepared to confess my sins and to take responsibility for my actions? Contrition When I confess my sins do I give my heart to Jesus and ask for His forgiveness? Do I realize that as a result of my sins, I am separated from my God? Absolution As I prepare to receive absolution, am I prepared to make a resolve to avoid those things in life that separate me from God? The Sacrament of Penance helps us to prepare for Christ s coming. The Sacrament is always available, waiting for you and helping you to walk in the light of Jesus grace.
