How has God called us in the Sacred Liturgy?: 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Listen to the homily here.

Notes:

In our first reading: God called Samuel
In our Gospel Jesus called his disciples
·      And each of us are called as well
In December 4th, 1963: Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy
·      Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy.”
I want to thank you who have listened to God’s call to serve at Mass, and I think He will continue to call you to do the same!
·      Everyone is called to have conscious and active participation in Mass
o   This might be different which each person
§  Priest, parents with young kids, those who could listen, sing and pray
This weekend I would like to explain what different groups do at Mass in our family as well as some reminders
·      Sacristans
o   Bread, wine and water
o   Lectionary and Gospel
o   Preparing for the Mass
·      Ushers
o   Welcome
o   Point out pews
o   Collection
o   Help parishioners to bring up the gifts
o   Crying room
·      Musicians
o   Piano and cantors
o   We pray with music
o   Behind the scenes to sign up, practice
·      Servers
o   Support me
o   Holding the book, ring the bell
o   Receive gifts
o   Helping at the altar
o   Need to be there and come early!
·      Eucharistic Ministers
o   An honor offer Jesus’ Body and Blood
o   Humble, reverent and protection for Jesus
·      Welcome family
o   We can always use more people to invite people into the Church
o   Helping people walking in from their vehicles, especially when it is raining, cold, snowing
o   Ask for names that you don’t know
God calls each of you for a mission.  Jesus calls us to be his disciple. 

What can you give at Mass for our whole family?
