OUR PATRONESS, BLESSED TERESA OF CALCUTTA

With the witness of her life, Mother Teresa reminds everyone that the evangelizing mission of the Church passes through char-

ity, nourished by prayer and listening to God's word. Emblematic of this missionary style is the image that shows the new Blessed clasping a child's hand in one hand while moving her Rosary beads with the other.

Contemplation and action, evangelization and human promotion: Mother Teresa proclaimed the Gospel living her life as a total gift to the poor but, at the same time, steeped in prayer.

Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant" (Mk 10: 43). With particular emotion we remember today Mother Teresa, a great servant of the poor, of the Church and of the whole world. Her life is a testimony to the dignity and the privilege

of humble service. She had chosen to be not just the least but to be the servant of the least. As a real mother to the poor, she

bent down to those suffering various forms of poverty. Her greatness lies in her ability to give without counting the cost, to give "until it hurts". Her life was a radical living and a bold proclamation of the Gospel.

The cry of Jesus on the Cross, "I thirst" (Jn 19: 28), expressing the depth of God's longing for man, penetrated Mother Teresa's soul and found fertile soil in her heart. Satiating Jesus' thirst for love and for souls in union with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, had

become the sole aim of Mother Teresa's existence and the inner force that drew her out of herself and made her "run in haste" across the globe to labour for the salvation and the sanctification of the poorest of the poor.

"As you did to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me" (Mt 25: 40). This Gospel passage, so crucial in under-standing Mother Teresa's service to the poor, was the basis of her faith-filled conviction that in touching the broken bodies of the

poor she was touching the body of Christ. It was to Jesus himself, hidden under the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor, that her service was directed. Mother Teresa highlights the deepest meaning of service - an act of love done to the hungry,

thirsty, strangers, naked, sick, prisoners (cf. Mt 25: 34-36) is done to Jesus himself.

Recognizing him, she ministered to him with wholehearted devotion, expressing the delicacy of her spousal love. Thus, in total

gift of herself to God and neighbour, Mother Teresa found her greatest fulfilment and lived the noblest qualities of her feminin-ity. She wanted to be a sign of "God's love, God's presence and God's compassion", and so remind all of the value and dignity of

each of God's children, "created to love and be loved". Thus was Mother Teresa "bringing souls to God and God to souls" and satiating Christ's thirst, especially for those most in need, those whose vision of God had been dimmed by suffering and pain.

"The Son of man also came... to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mk 10: 45). Mother Teresa shared in the Passion of the cru-cified Christ in a special way during long years of "inner darkness". For her that was a test, at times an agonizing one, which she

accepted as a rare "gift and privilege".

In the darkest hours she clung even more tenaciously to prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. This harsh spiritual trial led her to identify herself more and more closely with those whom she served each day, feeling their pain and, at times, even their rejec-

tion. She was fond of repeating that the greatest poverty is to be unwanted, to have no one to take care of you.

“Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you". How often, like the Psalmist, did Mother Teresa call on her Lord in

times of inner desolation: "In you, in you I hope, my God!".

Let us praise the Lord for this diminutive woman in love with God, a humble Gospel messenger and a tireless benefactor of hu-

manity. In her we honour one of the most important figures of our time. Let us welcome her message and follow her example.

Virgin Mary, Queen of all the Saints, help us to be gentle and humble of heart like this fearless messenger of Love. Help us to

serve every person we meet with joy and a smile. Help us to be missionaries of Christ, our peace and our hope. Amen!

From a Homily of Blessed Pope John Paul II given on the occasion of Mother Teresa of Calcutta’s beatification, October 19, 2002.

Psalm 122

Approaching the closed door, and putting aside the pastoral staff and miter, the Archbishop greets the people, saying: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

R: Amen. The grace and peace of God be with all of you in his holy Church.

R: And with your spirit.

Representatives hand over the building to the Archbishop. Kevin Broderick, the architect, presents a set of plans; Mike Monda, the Chair of the Building Committee presents a framed photo of the church; Mike Rice, the Chair of the Finance Committee presents a book with the names of the donors; and Blaise Goudy, the builder, presents the keys to the church. The Archbishop then gives the keys to the Father Schuster, the Pastor, and invites him to open the doors of the church. The Archbishop takes the pastoral staff and invites the people to enter the church, saying: Go within his gates giving thanks, enter his courts with songs of praise.

The Archbishop goes to the font and blesses water with which to sprinkle the people and to purify the walls and altar of the new church. After the prayer of blessing, while the congregation sings the sprinkling antiphon, the Archbishop passes through the main body of the church, sprinkling the people and the walls with the holy water; then when he has returned to the sanctuary, he sprinkles the altar.

When finished, the Archbishop says: May God, the Father of mercies, dwell in this house of prayer. May the grace of the Holy Spirit

cleanse us, for we are the temple of his presence. R: Amen.

PROCESSION of FAITH

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all

things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of

the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from True God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things

were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by

the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and

was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come

again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his Kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from

the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism

for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

LITANY of the SAINTS (cont.)

15

DEPOSITING of the RELICS ANTIPHON

The Archbishop places the relics of the saints beneath the altar. This is one of the oldest portions of the rite, dating back to the early fourth century and referenced in the writing of Saint Ambrose: “Let the triumphant victims take their place where Christ is the victim. He who suffered for all is above the altar; those redeemed by his sufferings are beneath the altar.”

Archbishop: I place beneath this altar a relic of Saint Blaise, a Bishop and Martyr, and relics of Saints and Martyrs Beautus and Fausta which were previously entombed in the Altar to Mary Queen of the Clergy at St. Thomas Seminary.

Prayer of Dedication

The Archbishop offers this prayer to almighty God as a sign of the intention to dedicate the altar and the church to the Lord for all times and as a petition for his blessing. Father in heaven, source of holiness and true purpose,

it is right that we praise and glorify your name.

For today we come before you, to dedicate to your lasting service

this house of prayer, this temple of worship, this home in which we are nourished by your word

and your sacraments.

Here is reflected the mystery of the Church.

The Church is fruitful,

made holy by the blood of Christ: a bride made radiant with his glory,

a virgin splendid in the wholeness of her faith, a mother blessed through the power of the Spirit.

The Church is holy,

your chosen vineyard: its branches envelop the world,

its tendrils, carried on the tree of the cross, reach up to the kingdom of heaven.

16

PRAYER of DEDICATION (cont.)

The Church is favored,

the dwelling place of God on earth: a temple built of living stones, founded on the apostles

with Jesus Christ its corner stone.

The Church is exalted,

a city set on a mountain:

a beacon to the whole world, bright with the glory of the Lamb,

and echoing the prayers of her saints

Lord,

send your spirit from heaven to make this church an ever-holy place,

and this altar a ready table for the sacrifice of Christ.

Here may the waters of baptism overwhelm the shame of sin;

here may your people die to sin and live again through grace as your children.

Here may your children,

gathered around your altar, celebrate the memorial of the Paschal Lamb,

and be fed at the table of Christ’s word and Christ’s body.

Here may prayer, the Church’s banquet, resound through heaven and earth

as a plea for the world’s salvation.

Here may the poor find justice, the victims of oppression, true freedom.

From here may the whole world, clothed in the dignity of the children of God,

enter with gladness your city of peace.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

R: (sung) Amen.

The anointing with chrism makes the altar a symbol of Christ, who, before all others, is and is called “the Anointed One;” for the Father anointed him with the Holy Spirit and constituted him the High Priest so that on the altar of his body he might offer the sacrifice of his life for the salvation of all. Archbishop Sartain first anoints the altar; then Archbishop Sartain, Archbishop Brunett, and Father Schuster anoint the walls of the church in twelve places to recall the twelve gates of the Heavenly City of Jerusalem. The Archbishop says: We now anoint this altar and this building. May God in his power make them holy, visible signs of the mystery of Christ and his Church.

ANOINTING of the ALTAR and the WALLS

Rites of Anointing, Incensing, Covering and Lighting the Altar

17

ANOINTING ANTIPHON INCENSATION of the ALTAR and the CHURCH INCENSATION ANTIPHON

Psalm 83

Incense is burned on the altar to signify that Christ’s sacrifice, there perpetuated in mystery, ascends to God as a fragrant offering; and also to signify that the people's prayers rise up pleasing and acceptable, reaching the throne of God. The incensation of the nave of the church indicates that the dedication makes it a house of prayer for all people. The Archbishop prays: Lord, may our prayer ascend as incense in your sight. As this building is filled with fragrance

so may your Church fill the world with the fragrance of Christ.

Revelation 5:8, 8:3–4 with Psalm 138

18

COVERING of the ALTAR LIGHTING of the ALTAR and the CHURCH LIGHTING ANTIPHON

This rite indicates that the Christian altar is the altar of the eucharistic sacrifice and the table

of the Lord; around it priests and people, by one and the same rite, but with a difference of

function, celebrate the memorial of Christ’s death and resurrection and partake of his supper.

For this reason the altar is prepared as a table of the sacrificial banquet and adorned as for a

feast. Thus the dressing of the altar clearly signifies that it is the Lord’s table at which all

God’s people joyously meet to be refreshed with divine food, namely, the Body and Blood of

Christ’s sacrifice. Members of the parish place the altar cloths, arrange the candles around

the altar and decorate the sanctuary with flowers.

The lighting of the altar and the lighting of the church remind us that Christ is “a light to enlighten the nations.” His brightness shines out in the church and through it in the whole human family. The Archbishop gives the deacon a lighted candle, saying: Light of Christ, shine forth in the Church and bring all nations to the fullness of truth.

The altar candles are lit and then the deacons light the candles at the twelve dedication

crosses on the walls of the church.

SPECIAL NOTE: The Eucharistic bread and wine given during Mass have great significance

for Catholics: they are the Body and Blood of Christ, our Lord and God. We invite those who do not share our Catholic faith to come forward with arms crossed and ask for a

blessing or simply to be seated at this time.

BREAD OF LIFE (Bernadette Farrell)

All kneel as the Archbishop incenses the Blessed Sacrament upon the altar, for Christ is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. The Archbishop then carries the Blessed Sacrament through the church in procession honoring the Lord’s presence. When the procession reaches the tabernacle the Archbishop incenses the Holy Eucharist once again and then places the ciborium in the tabernacle, thus inaugurating the tabernacle. The Holy Eucharist is reserved here to be taken to the sick, and for prayer and adoration.

Fitque sanguis Christi merum, / Et si sensus deficit,

Ad firmandum cor sincerum / Sola fides sufficit.
