We wish everyone a very blessed, safe and happy summer. Do Re Me by Paul Turner John the Baptist is ultimately responsible for the names of the notes in the musical scale. In the eighth century, and unknown poet and composer wrote a hymn in Latin to observe the feast of the birth of John the Baptist (June 24). Here are the words of his first verse: Ut queant laxis / resonare fibris / Mira gestorum / famuli tuorum, / Solve polluti / labii reatum, / Sancte Ioannes. This verse asks St. John the Baptist to loosen our voices to praise God, just as the voice of his father, Zechariah, was loosened. Zechariah had been mute throughout Elizabeth's pregnancy, only getting his voice back after John was born. In the 11th century, musician Guido ofarezzo noticed something about the melody of that hymn. The first note of each phrase begins one pitch higher than the preceding one, spelling out the first six notes of the scale. As you can see, the Latin symbols associated with them are ut-re-mi-fa-sol-la. Guido gave the pitches those names, basing them on the hymn to John the Baptist. The first letters of the final two words (Sancte Ioannes) eventually gave the name to the seventh pitch, originally called "si." It was later altered to "ti" just as "ut" was changed to "do" probably because it was more pleasant to the ear. The hymn is still part of the official evening prayer of the Roman Catholic church. Near the longest day of the year, when the sun starts it's the descent, the notes mark their ascent. John the Baptist said of Jesus, "he must increase; I must decrease." As the decreasing light of day recalls the birth of John the Baptist, the ascending notes of the scale point the way towards Jesus Christ.
August 3, 2014 St. Florian Parish Page 5 Year of Sacraments One Word at a Time Año De Los Sacramentos De Palabra En Palabra Gather We do not go to God one by one. God has decided to gather us as his holy people in the Church, which is the Body of Christ. When we celebrate the sacraments, we do so as God s Church. Even though our experience may be deeply, deeply personal, for example, when we confess our sins and receive forgiveness or feel the presence of Jesus in Holy Communion, our experience is never just ours alone. We are all a part of the Body of Christ, joined and built up together. If God has decided to gather us as his people in the Church, then we are called to join that gathering. When we come together, for example, to celebrate the sacraments and worship God, we do so with generous and willing hearts. We support each other, pray for each other, and encourage each other. We also accept in faith the sacramental rituals and prayers entrusted to the Church. Reunir No acudimos a Dios uno por uno. Dios ha decidido reunirnos como su Pueblo sagrado en la Iglesia, que es el Cuerpo de Cristo. Cuando celebramos los sacramentos, lo hacemos como Iglesia de Dios. Si bien nuestra experiencia puede llegar a ser profundamente personal, por ejemplo, cuando confesamos nuestros pecados y recibimos el perdón o cuando sentimos la presencia de Jesús en la Sagrada Comunión, nuestra experiencia nunca es solo nuestra. Todos somos parte del Cuerpo de Cristo, unidos y edificados en conjunto. Si Dios ha decidido reunirnos como su Pueblo en la Iglesia, entonces somos llamados a participar en esa reunión. Cuando nos reunimos, por ejemplo, para celebrar los sacramentos y alabar a Dios, lo hacemos con un corazón generoso y dispuesto. Nos apoyamos los unos a los otros, rezamos los unos por los otros y nos alentamos los unos a los otros. También aceptamos en fe los rituales sacramentales y las oraciones encomendadas a la Iglesia.
