The various "orders" within the church carried forward the apostles' ministry, but also allowed for a measure of creativity. The sacrament we call "holy orders" evolved somewhat slowly. At first, it made sense for Christians to use the forms they knew, adapting them to new situations. Synagogues, for example, were administered by a board of "elders," translated into Greek as presbyteros. We know from the Acts of the Apostles that a system of presbyters was a normal feature of church life from earliest days. They stood in relationship to another order, that of "overseers," translated into Greek as episkopos, giving us the English "bishops." The bishop was the shepherd, the faithful tender of the flock, one who offered the Eucharist, forgave sins, and maintained the bond of charity. Just as the deacons were the chief advisers for the charitable life of the church, so were the presbyters meant to advise the bishop on the spiritual life of the faithful. They were trusted advisers at first, not pastors or priests as we understand those terms today. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
St. Vincent de Paul Church Page Three Sunday, May 29, 2016 A NOTE FROM FR. NORM It is appropriate that we celebrate this feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ on Memorial Day weekend. The heart of our faith is remembrance we celebrate Eucharist primarily because Jesus said at the Last Supper on the night before he gave his life for us Do this in memory of me. We remember in a special way all those who have given their lives for the cause of peace, justice, and freedom. We remember all our departed loved ones who sacrificed on a daily basis to care for us, to show us by their example how to follow the Way of Jesus, the way of other-centered love. Please consider coming to Mass on Monday, Memorial Day, at 9 AM. What a significant and meaningful way to make this national holiday a genuine holy day of remembrance, of gratitude, and of deepening our awareness of the Communion of the Saints. There will be no 6:30 AM Mass that day. As the summer season is upon us, let us remember that Jesus walks with us 24/7 as our risen Lord and best friend.
