Cam42 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Soooooo, Father preached his homily today by plucking Easter eggs off the altar of sacrifice. There were 5 of them....they all had something in them that apparently related to Christ. The 5th was empty, I assume to allude to the empty tomb....and he tossed it about three pews deep as a keepsake for some unwitting parishoner who caught it. The altar is just a table to hold things... Ughhh.... And I'm phishy for questioning these things....whatever....

MissScripture Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 And yet, Jesus was still present at Mass, and for that we should be joyful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 [quote name='MissScripture' timestamp='1303690766' post='2231975'] And yet, Jesus was still present at Mass, and for that we should be joyful. [/quote] On the other hand, I don't believe it makes Jesus happy to be so disrespected at the practices of our Church that are intended exclusively to worship Him. There is such grace in our Church, yet so much of it is flippantly ignored by those who just don't care enough. Those people who think that the Mass is about them, or all about "community". Yeah right. 1382 “The Mass is at the same time, and inseparably, the sacrificial memorial in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated and the sacred banquet of communion with the Lord’s body and blood. But the celebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice is wholly directed toward the intimate union of the faithful with Christ through communion. To receive communion is to receive Christ himself who has offered himself for us.” It's not about us, and it's not about doing what makes us happy, or what stirs the most emotion. Jesus told us "Do this in memory of Me." The Mass is for Jesus. It's not about us. It can never be about us. Before Him we are nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
