UNDERSTANDING THE MASS

Submitted by Deacon Sid Starr

 

The next action at Mass is the Homily (Greek for "explanation"). The Gospel and Homily are very sacred and therefore are presented by a bishop, priest, or deacon, who are successors of the apostles. Having prepared themselves with several years of spiritual formation and scripture study, they present insights into the Lord's word, what it meant in Jesus' time and what it might mean for us today. The homily is rooted in ancient Jewish custom; readings from Scripture were explained by the rabbis. Jesus himself practiced this custom (Luke 4:15; 4:18-30; and Mark 1:21.)

​

LEGION OF MARY

This is a reminder that the Legion of Mary is open to both women and men. Meetings are each Thursday at 9:00 AM. If you do not wish to be an active member but would still like to participate, auxiliary membership is open to everyone. The only requirement is the daily recitation of the rosary. Please consider joining. If interested contact Robin Abbott at 918-638-2642 or by email: robinabott2008@gmail.com. Please also join us for First Saturday Mass held on the first Saturday of each month.

​

​THE LIVING ROSARY

The Living Rosary is a circle of 20 'associates', each of whom pledges to pray one decade for a specific mystery, every day for life*. (Missing a day does not constitute a sin, but should not occur through willful neglect). In this way, each circle of 20 'associates' prays an entire Rosary every day, forming a perpetual 'living Rosary'! Better still - each Living Rosary associate receives the benefits, graces, and strength of praying an entire Rosary, every day! Please say your decade every day for the general intentions of 'St. Patrick's/Our Lady of the Lake Parish Families' and for your personal intentions (this will include praying for each others' personal intentions). During the months of May and October, we encourage all parishioners to pray a 5-decade Rosary when possible.

​

If you would like to join fellow parishioners by reciting one mystery of the rosary each day, please contact Robin Abbott at 918-638-2642 or via email: robinabbott2008@gmail.com.

​

*We are asking you to commit for a period of two years, then we will update.
