- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Eighteenth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
-
- Just as God provided the
Israelites with manna in the desert, Jesus is the Bread of God
who lives in our midst and gives life and sustenance to the world.
This Bread of Life is Jesus himself. Intimacy with Jesus and
commitment to his teachings is to hunger no more.
- Adults: How have the life, teachings, and
presence of Jesus sustained and nourished me?
Children: What does the phrase “Jesus is the
Bread of Life” mean to me?

- LITURGY BITS AND BYTES
Musical Flow
During Liturgy
Music
provides continuity within the liturgy. This means that the songs
are chosen to reflect or echo the meaning of the readings. The
eucharistic acclamations are normally taken from the same setting
by the same composer in order to maintain unity and integrity
within the Eucharistic Prayer. The music within each major section
of the liturgy should be integral to the action and express the
interconnectedness of that section.
In the liturgy music often signals a change
in what is happening. For example the entrance rite goes from
the prelude right up to the first reading. The music that is
used should support the action and help to create the “mood”
of the ritual. In some parishes the Lamb of God, the song used
during the breaking of bread, sometimes segues into the communion
song. This is done on purpose. The breaking of bread, the invitation
to receive the Eucharist, and the procession to communion are
all part of the one communion rite. Continuing the music through
the rite creates a sense of unity. Each major section of the
Mass should maintain musical integrity. The Mass is like a symphony
with separate movements but connected as one musical piece.

REST IN PEACE
Some sad news to relate: Father Frank
Cronin passed away Saturday evening. He was the first
administrator of Christ the King and later was pastor here until
1972. He was a professor at OU and occasionally celebrated both
daily and weekend Masses here before leaving Athens in 2000.
The funeral Mass for Father Cronin is this
Thursday morning, August 6, at 11:00 at St. Mary’s
Church in Shadyside.
- There are plans for a Mass
at CTK for Father Cronin at 10:30 August 16. Check the
bulletin or this webpage for further details.
May Father Cronin and all who have died, rest
in the peace of our Lord.
WORDS OF LIFE -- Bulletin
Briefs
Christians are indistinguishable from other
men either by nationality, language or customs….
And yet there is something extraordinary about
their lives. They live in their own countries as though they
were only passing through. …Like others, they marry and
have children, but they do not expose them [to die]. They share
their meals, but not their wives.
They live in the flesh, but they are not governed
by the desires of the flesh. They pass their days upon earth,
but they are citizens of heaven. Obedient to the laws, they yet
live on a level that transcends the law. Christians love all
men, but all men persecute them. …They live in poverty,
but enrich many; they are totally destitute, but possess an abundance
of everything. They suffer dishonor, but that is their glory.
They are defamed, but vindicated. A blessing is their answer
to abuse, deference their response to insult. For the good they
do they receive the punishment of malefactors, but even then
they, rejoice, as though receiving the gift of life.
