FROM THE MORSE’S MOUTH
HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY to all of our birth mothers as well as to all of those women who have supported,
nurtured, and encouraged us on our life’s journey. May God bless you for all your love, care and sacrifices
that have helped us to become the persons God created us to be. And may those mothers who have gone
home to the Lord now enjoy the reward of their generous love and labors on our behalf.

“I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is
abortion, because it is a war against the child, a
direct killing of the innocent child, murder by the
mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can
kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another ?---Saint Mother Teresa

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In many parish churches, more rarely in monastery
churches and cathedrals, the tabernacle with the
Blessed Sacrament is visible from a doorway or
aisle in the church. Normally, a person is to give the
proper sign of reverence, a genuflection, when passing in proximity to the tabernacle.
The word “genuflect” comes from Latin roots meaning bending (or flexing) the knee. A common-sense
exception to the rule is for a sacristan who is taking
care of the church and can’t be genuflecting every
thirty seconds during a vacuum run. Also excepted
are persons in procession entrusted with important
symbols of the Lord’s presence. So, a crossbearer or
a minister carrying the Gospel book, or ministers on
their way to their Communion stations do not genuflect. For everyone else, the usual sign of reverence
for the Lord’s presence in the Blessed Sacrament is
to genuflect on the right knee.
The oldest form of reverence during prayer in our
tradition is standing; kneeling or genuflecting is a
sign borrowed from old civic practice. The posture of
kneeling, even on one knee, is a sign of submission.
Servants would take this position before their masters in the ancient world. It said: I’m not running
away, I’m yours, I’m here for you. This is what your
genuflection says when you enter a Catholic church
where the place of reservation of the Blessed Sacrament is visible to you: I’m yours.
—Rev. James Field, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
THE WAY
Today we sense the apostles’ trepidation as they
begin to realize that the Lord would soon be leaving
them. In their fear, they ask, “Master, we do not
know where you are going; how can we know the
way?” (John 14:5). Jesus tells them that he is the
way. The Easter season has been a time of growing
in Easter faith so that we, too, may learn to know
that Jesus is the way. We can take comfort in the
Lord’s promise that he is going to his Father’s house
to prepare a place for us, his chosen people who
have been called out of darkness into God’s wonderful light.
As the paschal candle continues to burn during this
holy season, let us remember that in baptism we
were given the light of Christ. With Christ our light
as the beacon lighting our way, let us march toward
the glory of Pentecost.
