Parish Night Program   Session two of the ten part series will continue on Wednesday, Nov. 16th.  Father Barron’s “Catholicism” is a ten part video series that takes the viewer around the Catholic world and explores the Church as a culture through its teachings, art, music, and architecture and most importantly the lives it shaped.  Father Barron lays out the Catholic proposal in a visually stunning and engaging series of presentations that invites everyone into the heart of the faith, which is friendship with Jesus Christ.  After spending the first session talking about who Jesus is, in the second installment, Fr. Barron now talks about what Jesus taught, beginning with the beatitudes and moving on to other key teachings.  For more information on the “Catholicism” series visit www.wordonfire.org.  Father Stef will facilitate each viewing with an open discussion and a question and answer session.  We know you won’t be disappointed so please plan on attending this year’s Parish Night Program.  Parish Night sessions begin immediately following 6:30 Mass.

The Prayer After Communion

“And their eyes were opened and they recognized him” (Luke 24:31). The

Church celebrates the Eucharist with eyes opened wide in recognition of Christ her Lord

and Bridegroom. The priest introduces the Prayer After Communion as he did the

Collect at the beginning of Mass, saying, “Let us pray.” The assembly responds in a brief

but intense silent prayer. The priest then prays in the name of all for the fruits of the

mystery just celebrated: healing of mind and body, the forgiveness of sins, the protection

of God, and strength to go forward in holiness. The people seal the prayer with their

Amen. Brief announcements may follow, prepared in advance and made in such a way as

to foster the climate of reverence and joy that should characterize the Mass from

beginning to end.

In a final greeting, “The Lord be with you,” the priest wishes the people the

abiding presence of Christ. The people in turn acknowledge the gift of grace that is his

for the service of the Church: “And with your spirit.” The blessing follows. During Lent

a Prayer Over the People may precede it; on festive occasions a more solemn formula

may be used.
