PAR I SH PAR I SH PAR I SH PAR I SH NNNN EW SEW SEW SEW S Quote from the early church fathers Love encompasses the other commandments
by Ephrem the Syrian (306-373 AD
"This is my commandment." Have you then only one precept? This is sufficient, even if it is unique and so great. Nevertheless He also said, "Do not kill" (Matthew 19:18) because the one who loves does not kill. He said, "Do not steal," because the one who loves does even more - He gives. He said, "Do not lie," for the one who loves speaks the truth, against falsehood. "I give you a new commandment" (John 13:14). If you have not understood what "This is my commandment" means, let the apostle be summoned as interpreter and say, "The goal of His commandment is love" (1 Timothy 1:5). What is its binding force? It is that of which [the Lord] spoke, "Whatever you want others to do to you, you should do also" (Matthew 7:12)."Love one another" in accordance with this measure, "as I have loved you." That is not possible, for you are our Lord who loves your servants. But we who are equals, how can we love one another as You have loved us? Nevertheless, He has said it... His love is that He has called us His friends. If we were to give our life for You, would our love be equal to Yours?... How then can what He said be explained, "As I have loved you"? "Let us die for each other," He said. As for us, we do not even want to live for one another! "If I, who am your Lord and God, die for you, how much more should you die for one another."
(excerpt from COMMENTARY ON TATIAN'S DIATESSARON 19.13)

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT Jesus calls His disciples His “friends” and commands them to love one another as He has loved them. We are called to be stewards of this friendship; to love one another as Jesus loves us. Do we give serious attention to what this love requires of us? Does this require us to actively seek the welfare of others? What is the price of this friendship with the Lord?

WHY DO WE DO THAT? CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED Question: What are the fruits of the Holy Spirit? Answer: St. Paul first enumerates these in the Letter to the Galatians. There are twelve of them. They are charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, and chastity. He explains in chapter 5 the proper use of freedom. The Galatians were divided within the community and the result is a litany of vice and corruption. The law of love had been set aside and in its place greed, selfishness, division, and other diseases of the spirit are given free reign. These are the evils that enslave us, denying us the basic freedom we need to live our faith. Freedom is not a license to give in to the baser drives of our being, but rather an ability to choose the higher gifts and the life of faith. It is not a freedom from, but rather a freedom for. We are freed from the slavery of sin for the life of faith. The virtues St. Paul lists are the very ones that we often associate with saints, who live these virtues in extraordinary ways in very ordinary lives. The fruits of the Spirit are the way we measure our growth in holiness and in faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the fruits of the Holy Spirit as perfections that the Spirit forms in us as “the first fruits of eternal glory” (#1832). In other words, these are the virtues that are the result of living our faith and bringing it to perfection.

SILENCESILENCESILENCESILENCE Even before the celebration itself, it is a praiseworthy practice for silence to be observed in the church, in the sacristy, in the vesting room, and in adjacent areas, so that all may dispose themselves to carry out the sacred celebration in a devout and fitting manner.
