By the 1940s, many Catholics were learning to follow along with the actions of the priest by means of a bilingual missal, with Latin on one side and English on the other. Drawings of the priest s position at the altar, moving from one side to the other, or bowing or standing with uplifted hands at the center, helped the readers stay on track. The Roman Canon is a long prayer, and since it was done every day for every occasion, priests had a way of galloping through it. Even though long, its structure is fairly simple, with the consecration and sacrifice clearly marked out. Sadly, this surviving prayer had triumphed over many treasures of our tradition that emphasized other dimensions of Eucharist. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy in 1963 did not call directly for new Eucharistic Prayers, but that direction was inevitable. Discussion began almost immediately, and by 1967 the Vatican approved three new Eucharistic Prayers. In 1974, the Congregation for Worship unveiled the experiment of two Eucharistic Prayers for Masses of Reconciliation, and three for Masses with Children. At last, a period of creativity and enrichment had begun. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM This program is designed for children in grades K-8th attending public school. Catechism classes (CCD) are held: Saturday 10 AM-12 Noon Confirmation Class: Mondays from 6:30 PM 8 PM All children who have already received the Sacraments are asked to attend. Knowing the basics of our Catholic teachings and religion requires more than three or four years of Religious Education, because it is the Formation of faith for life. The program includes instruction for First Eucharist and Confirmation. We had a good number of children in 2007-2008, however, we feel that there are still many children in our parish boundaries attending public schools who are not attending our Religious Ed. Program. Please help us spread the word. It s everybody s responsibility. RCIA for Children and Youth ages 7-17 who need the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist: Tuesday 5:15-6:30 PM Registration begins Aug 16-Sept 20. Classes begin Sept. 27, 2008.

WELCOME TO HOLY NAME OF JESUS PARISH, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA Page 5 Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS LIKE... Jesus speaks in several parables today about the reign of God, including images from several groups of people in order to make his message clear to all who hear. The kingdom of God is like a man who sows good seed. The kingdom of God is like a person who plants a mustard seed. The kingdom of God is like a woman who adds yeast to her flour. All of these very human activities bring home the fact that the reign of God is already among us, working in small ways to bring about mysterious but very great results. Good and evil are allowed to grow together until the end, lest the good be destroyed with the evil. There is a lesson for us here. It is not that we shouldn t oppose evil when we see it, but that in our zeal to make our world perfect by human force, we must be careful not to destroy the work that God is doing. It is not for us, but for God to judge what is to be kept and what destroyed, and even though we think we know the difference, we must be cautious not to disturb God s carefully planted goodness in others. Violence can never be the means of justice. SMALL YET POWERFUL Likewise, the reign of God is like something very small, almost unnoticeable until we begin to see the results. The tiny mustard seed, which can be planted by any person (even a child), grows to be a large tree, amazing to all. A tiny amount of yeast, when added to flour, becomes invisible until it begins to make the whole dough rise, doubling or tripling its volume, and becoming bread in the oven s heat. Let us not judge what we see, but trust that God s work in the world is gentle and quiet, the results known only in the final chapter. We seek, in humility, to watch for the Spirit working in the ordinary activities of our lives.
