Catholic Mass Today - Daily Mass Today - Saturday , September 18 2021

impart to your servants we pray o lord the gift of heavenly grace that the feast of the nativity of the blessed virgin may bring deeper peace to those for whom the birth of her son was the dawning of salvation through our lord jesus christ your son who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the holy spirit god forever and ever a reading from the letter of paul to the romans we know that all things work together for good for those who love god who are called according to his purpose for those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters and those whom he predestined he also called and those whom he called he also justified and those whom he justified he also glorified the word of the lord thanks be to god with delight i rejoice in the lord with delight i rejoice in the lord i trusted in your steadfast love my heart shall rejoice in your salvation with delight i rejoice in the lord i will sing to the lord because he has dealt bountifully with me with my light i rejoice in the lord the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to matthew an account of the genealogy of jesus the messiah the son of david the son of abraham abraham was the father of isaac isaac the father of jacob jacob the father of judah and his brothers judah the father of peres and zara by tamar perez the father of hezron hezrun the father of aram aram the father of aminadab aminadab the father of nashon [Music] nashon the father of salman salman the father of boaz by rahab boaz the father of obed by ruth obed the father of jesse and jesse the father of king david and david was the father of solomon by the wife of uriah solomon the father of rehoboam rehoboam the father of abijah abhija the father of assaf asaph the father of jehoshaphat jehoshaphat the father of joram joram the father of uzziah uzziah the father of jotham jotham the father of ahaz ahaz the father of hezekiah hezekiah the father of manasseh manasseh the father of amos amos the father of josiah and josiah the father of jaconiah and his brothers at the time of the deportation to babylon and after the deportation to babylon jekoniah was the father of salath neil silathial the father of zerubbabel zerubbabel the father of abedud abid you the father of eliakim eliyakim the father of azor azor the father of zadok zadok the father of akim akim the father of elihud eliot the father of eleazar eliezer the father of matthan [Music] nathan the father of jacob and jacob the father of joseph the husband of mary of whom jesus was born who is called the messiah now the birth of jesus the messiah took place in this way when his mother mary had been engaged to joseph but before they lived together she was found to be with child from the holy spirit her husband joseph being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace planned to dismiss her quietly but just when he had resolved to do this an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and said joseph son of david do not be afraid to take mary as your wife for the child conceived in her is from the holy spirit she will bear a son and you are to name him jesus for he will save his people from their sins all this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the lord through the prophets look the virgin shall conceive and bear a son and they shall name him emmanuel which means god is with us the gospel of the lord so how did i do you have to rehearse this one and well said this way sometimes if my pronunciation's not perfect you may not have noticed matthew structures the genealogy very deliberately in three sets of fourteen generations he leaves people out he emphasizes others and even if we do hear some of the names that don't always bring familiarity near the conclusion of the set of 14 in each group we hear important details about david becoming king of a unified israel about the deportation to babylon about the father of joseph so our ears perk up and we have a kind of a way of approaching the text what's the purpose of genealogy in the biblical setting to remind us that jesus has a lineage he's a real person jesus is a real person who has a lineage just like you and for and i do he didn't just fall from the sky without a context it's a consequence of the incarnation that he is born having relatives just like you and me here in our cathedral very the first window outside the sacristy on the top depicts the parents of mary and mary depicted as a very young girl so that is saint anne and saint joe came [Music] with their child mary and the names joachim and anne and everything that the tradition talks about regarding mary's birth you won't find it in the four gospels it comes from another gospel written in the first century that was not included in the canonical lists like matthew mark luke and john and this is a gospel that is known in scholarship as the proto-gospel of saint james so its attribution was to the apostle james that certainly would not stand up to scrutiny today but uh discerning even in the early centuries when the church heard it not everything in it resonated with what they believed to be true about the gospel and jesus that doesn't mean that the proto-gospel of saint james contains no truths but they are not of the level at the same as the canonical gospels of matthew mark luke and john but there in the proto-gospel of saint james is the details regarding mary's you can easily find it just google it you can read it in about 10 minutes i had to read it in the seminary it's most interesting the important thing i guess for us is you know when mary was born did anne and joakim did mary herself know everything that god had planned and laid out in his desire for her no they didn't it was revealed to mary the tradition is in ancient palestine that the age of betrothal for a female would have been about 15 years old so we can see the annunciation story mary being about that age when she becomes aware and she's taken aback by you know gabriel's announcement that god desires her to be the mother of god's only son so lying latent is she must learn this so upon her birth whatever way her parents understood her life to be a gift a blessing there was still much that was not known and in this way you know all of us contain kind of god's will within us whether we fulfill it whether we realize it whether we are obedient to it but god has a plan for you and for me that was revealed from the very moment of our conception and then at different stages in our life we are asked to know embrace but also given the freedom to reject even what god desired of us so today is a celebration of our faith a reminder that mary too was born into a context she is the recipient of a singular grace she is born without original sin in her immaculate conception but the point is she still has a context she still must learn how to please god in this broad sense she has to be taught her prayers she has to have a religious upbringing as well as a human upbringing just like every everyone here every every person has to have so there's something deeply human about today's feast we can lean on to the mother of god and saying help me lord in my family life help me in my marriage help me in my work help me in general because mary too had a context in which she was born that's good news so let's ask for the help of the mother of god today as we each in our own way seek to please and follow god's will for us invoking the intercession of the blessed virgin mary let us bring our needs and prayers to the lord for the church may her unity in christ shine brightly as an example of god's peace hospitality and love let us pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for those who hold political office may god bless their efforts in protecting life in all its stages let us pray to the lord lord hear our prayer for the gift of heavenly grace that the feast of the nativity of the blessed virgin mary may bring deeper peace to those for whom the birth of her son was the dawning of salvation let us pray to the lord lord hear

forever and ever the lord be with you lift up your hearts let us give thanks to the lord our god it is truly right and just our duty and our salvation always and everywhere to give you thanks lord holy father almighty and eternal god and to praise bless and glorify your name on this feast day of the nativity of the blessed virgin mary for by the overshadowing of the holy spirit she conceived your only begotten son and without losing the glory of virginity brought forth into the world the eternal light jesus christ our lord through him the angels praise your majesty dominions adore and powers tremble before you heaven and the virtues of heaven and the blessed seraphim worship together with exaltation may our voices we pray join with theirs in humble praise as we acclaim holy holy holy lord god of hosts heaven and earth are full of your glory hosanna in the highest blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord hosanna in the highest you are indeed holy o lord the fount of all holiness make holy therefore these gifts we pray by sending down your spirit upon them like the dewfall so that they may become for us the body and blood of our lord jesus christ at the time he was betrayed and entered willingly into his passion he took bread and giving thanks broke it and gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and eat of it for this is my body which will be given up for you [Music] in a similar way when supper was ended he took the chalice and once more giving thanks he gave it to his disciples saying take this all of you and drink from it for this is the chalice of my blood the blood of the new and eternal covenant which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins do this in memory of me the mystery of faith we proclaim your death o lord and profess your resurrection until you come again and therefore as we celebrate the memorial of his death and resurrection we offer you lord the bread of life and the chalice of salvation giving thanks that you have held us worthy to be in your presence and minister to you humbly we pray that partaking of the body and blood of christ we may be gathered into one by the holy spirit remember lord your church spread throughout the world and bring her to the fullness of charity together with francis our pope brian joseph our bishop and all the clergy remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection and all who have died in your mercy welcome them into the light of your face have mercy on us all we pray that with the blessed virgin mary mother of god with blessed joseph her spouse with the blessed apostles and all the saints who have pleased you throughout the ages we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life and may praise and glorify you through your son jesus christ through him and with him and in him oh god almighty father in the unity of the holy spirit all glory and honor is yours for ever and ever amen at the savior's command and formed by divine teaching we dare to say our father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil deliver us lord we pray from every evil graciously grant peace in our days that by the help of your mercy we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our savior jesus christ lord jesus christ who said to your apostles peace i leave you my peace i give you look not on our sins but on the faith of your church and graciously grant her peace and unity in accordance with your will who

sacred mysteries as she rejoices in the nativity of the blessed virgin mary which was the hope and the daybreak of salvation for all the world through christ our lord because i won't be here tomorrow i think father craig is with you tomorrow and friday next week next wednesday would be the 15th now is your time to tell me you got the dates wrong father now i think next wednesday is the 15th so that's the feast day of our lady of sorrows and we have an old tradition in the diocese that we typically have mass at holy cross cemetery that day i guess last year i can't remember if it happened or not it is going to happen this year i think the the the style of it is going to be more of an outdoor mass and then maybe after the mass don't quote me on this totally yet there might be access to the chapel especially for those who have never been inside the small chapel that's in the cemetery and that's better you know for covid and all that kind of stuff being outdoors so next wednesday there will be the usual 12 15 mass i'm celebrating it and then at you know around five maybe i got the time total a little bit off it could be five or five fifteen can't remember uh bishop dunn will be down at the cemetery and i could be joining him i think so i'll see you there but i just wanted to put that heads up now because so many of you enjoy it uh just to put it on your radar and i'll make another announcement through the weekend and you can phone the office or check the das and website too for info on that so the lord be with you and may almighty god bless you the father and the son and the holy spirit the mass has ended go in peace have a good day everyone
