The sentiments bear examination again and again. Recently, I had the opportunity to talk with our Candidates and Catechumens in the parish RCIA program on the subject of Liturgy. Here are just a few of my thoughts on the subject. The word liturgy comes to us from the classical Greek word leitourgia meaning "public work. In college, a Theology professor told me to think of Liturgy in terms of collective responsibility the work of the people of God. From that meaning, it s clear all of us have a part to play in our worship (Liturgy). In all its forms then, Liturgy is NOT just the responsibility of the clergy. It s also NOT solely the responsibility of the Lectors, Servers, Ushers, Extraordinary Eucharistic Ministers, Cantors or Choirs. The work of Liturgy must be shared by all the faithful including everyone in the pews and even those who cannot attend due to ill health or other limitations. The prayer of ALL the People of God is equally important and needed. To illustrate, I d like to share what I ve been reading recently. The late Trappist Abbot of Mepkin Abbey in South Carolina, Fr. Francis Kline, wrote a book titled Lovers of the Place: Monasticism Loose in the Church. In the book, Fr. Francis provides an allegory about Liturgy in which the whole assembly, people from every walk and station of life, are gathered together in an eternal act of worship that transcends time and space where every eye is on the Lamb and all our worship is submerged in Him. If we think of our role in Liturgy in worship of the Lamb as being part of that ongoing, transcendent prayer, it s easy to see that the attentive participation of everyone is a vital part of our prayer and the prayer of the whole Church. No one can be left out and no one should withhold their participation. One other thing comes to mind. If the act of Liturgy is ongoing and perpetual in every age and in every place, then we are never really separated from it. Made as we are in the Image and Likeness of God, it s plain that we re always part of that act and that says a lot about our days and lives. Every moment can be a participation in the sacred act every day can be a day spent in communion with the Lamb and all who worship him. Just one question remains. Do I live my life do we live our lives in a way that reflects that idea? Do we live all our moments mindful of just how connected we are to Jesus and to each other? Might not Liturgy be more than just a Sunday thing? Might not all the moments of our lives be sacred moments?

Page Eight St. Peter s Church, Mansfield, Ohio January 12, 2014 CALLED TO SERVE The status of God s beloved Son is not one he clings to. It is one he shares. All of us are called to be sons and daughters of God. In Jesus, we can all claim God s favor. The second reading makes this clear. Here we read of the baptism of Cornelius and his household. Peter s speech recalls the anointing of Jesus by the Holy Spirit and the great power that swept through Israel and onto the doorstep of the Gentile Cornelius. As for his household, so for us. There is an end to our work on earth, to our baptismal vocation and the honorable work we do. But there is no end to the saving life given to us through baptism. There is no end to the life of the children of God; there is no end to God s compassion, which we know in Christ Jesus. There is no end to our status as chosen and beloved people of God. Because of Jesus life, death, and resurrection, we are forever among those on whom God s favor rests. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Through the centuries, artists and craftspeople have depicted Jesus baptism in the Jordan River by John. At first in mosaics and frescoes, and later in tapestries, stained glass, and paintings, the scene is familiar. Jesus is standing waist - high in flowing water. Above him, standing on dry land, John the Baptist pours water over Jesus. The first artists to depict this were sketching from memory. This is exactly how most people were baptized in the early days: as adults, standing or kneeling in the water, with water poured over their heads. This method of baptizing, called immersion, is the favored way today. An adult enters a font, or an infant is lowered a bit into the water supported by a parent s hand, and water is poured or splashed over them. The treasures of baptistry art attest that submersion, or plunging beneath the water s surface, is not really in our tradition, and that infusion, the mere pouring of a few drops of water, yields too narrow an understanding of what it means to be plunged into Christ s life. Jesus Christ has gone before us into the water, and waits for us there with abundant gifts. No wonder the tradition calls for abundant symbols! Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
