Bishop’s Guidelines for Masses
-The use of six feet of social distancing, the wearing of masks (highly encouraged), the use of hand sanitizer and the frequent sanitation of facilities are measures that continue to be recommended by State and Federal health authorities. We will continue these practices in our parishes.
-Consistent with the above, we will also continue to keep Holy Water fonts empty, not place hymnals or other written materials in pews, require ministers of Holy Communion to be masked, skip the Sign of Peace and not administer the Precious Blood.
-Pastors may decide to distribute Communion at the normal time during the Mass. Bulletins distributed after Mass.
Gospel Meditation
Be still and know that I am God. Silence is sacred. Silence speaks the language of the soul and is the foundation of all life and eternity itself. Silence takes us beyond the limits of our minds and allows us to seek and to love the essence of all love, perfect love, and being. In silence, we can be non-verbally present to things and to God in ways that words cannot accomplish. We can discover, encounter, and be present to truths that our minds struggle to conceive and then set aside the boxes we put around things when comprehending them is challenging. We can know the unknowable and touch eternity when we encounter the core silence in our souls.
It is in silence that all of the barriers that divide us disappear. There is no more “yours” and “mine” but only the oneness of “ours.” There is no longer a need to “figure things out,” and we tap into our desire to simply let things be. Silence is creative and powerful and gives us hope. Silence is God’s greatest blessing. God became one with humanity in silence. It allows us to be one with all of creation, with the moon and the stars and all of the creatures God has made. The smallest particle of creation radiates with beauty. Silence allows us to soar beyond ourselves and connect in ways that the mind can only imagine. When all is quiet, we begin to see that it is only our fear that keeps us from the Lord. It is our fear that causes us to sink and to fail. We can hear the gentle whisper that tells us to reach for God’s hand. We discover that we yearn for the salvation and wholeness that only God can give to us. Be still my soul and be at peace.
Bits & Pieces:
However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in Paradise. Love your life.
Henry David Thoreau
