The Introductory Rites, So Far
Past weeks have covered the opportunity for a few moments of silent prayer and reflection after entering the church, the use of incense, the priest kissing the altar, the Sign of the Cross, the invitation to call to mind our sins, the Penitential Act, and the “Gloria” in which we join the hymn of the angelic hosts and bless, praise, adore and glorify the Triune God.
In these first few minutes of the Mass, the Introductory Rites, we come into relationship with God by marking ourselves with the Sign of the Cross. These first words of the Mass, spoken together by priest and people, remind us that we were all immersed “in the name” of the Triune God at our baptism and we now entrust this Mass to that same name. We then come into relationship with the priest who in the Apostolic greeting extends grace and peace from God to the people. We come into an intimate and caring relationship with each other present at the Mass, especially through the “Confiteor” of the Penitential Act in which we confess our sins not only to God but to each other, “to you, my brothers and sisters,” and we also pray for each other: “I ask … you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.” In the “Confiteor,” we also enter into relationship with the saints and angels as we ask “Blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints” to pray for us, before we join in the angelic song of the “Gloria” which begins with a refrain from our Lord’s incarnation. At this point it is clear that the people gathered together, the priest, and the entire Church beyond limits of time and space, including the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, and even the angels, are all ready to enter into the great mystery of the encounter with God in the Mass.
After all of this preparation, standing humbly in the presence of God, for the first time in the Mass the priest invites us all to pray together, first in silence and then with the Opening Prayer or Collect: “Let us pray.”
If you would like to include yourself or a loved one on our prayer list, please call the parish office or email the bulletin editor at: [email protected] and include Sick List in the subject line. A new request must be submitted each month.

The St. Martin DePorres Unit, an auxiliary of Catholic Charities of the East Bay, held an Oktoberfest dinner and auction at St. Monica Church each fall from 1991 to 2016 to raise funds to help support the many programs of CCEB. In 2017 we elected not to hold the event but instead asked for donations from St. Monica parishioners and DePorres members. We were so successful, we decided to continue this approach. Members of DePorres are dedicated to serving Catholic Charities and hope you will continue to give financial support. As he has done at previous auctions, Gene Elam will match each $100 donation up to $3,000. Several others also did some matching and we were able to give Catholic Charities $12,350 last October. To participate in this year’s fund raising, please make a check payable to Catholic Charities of the East Bay and mail to: Pat Elam, 34 Sherwood Court, Moraga, CA 94556 by October 30.
