Dear Parish Family, Today, August 6th, we celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus. Ordinarily, the feast falls on a weekday. Occasionally, as is the case this year, we celebrate the feast on a Sunday. In today’s Gospel, Jesus takes Peter, James and John up the mountain where he is transfigured before their eyes. They catch a glimpse of the Lord in His glory... they see the glorified body of Resurrection. They catch a glimpse of the greater things to come, and the promise of Heaven. The glory that Christ promises here on earth is a glory within, the glory of a soul united with Christ in joy and suffering. This is a glory that eludes so many people today. And this glory that Christ gives will last forever. On the mountain top, the disciples caught a glimpse of Eternity. Through a sincere and devout practice of our Catholic Faith, through a good confession of our sins, and through a worthy and devout reception of Holy Communion ~ you and I are able to make ourselves ready to catch a glimpse of the same "Eternal Glory" waiting for us, if we remain faithful to Him. God’s blessings! Father De Salvo

collar and shirt. In Roman times, when criminals were condemned to death, their heads were covered in linen. The amice symbolizes Christ's humiliation in being condemned to death. Because of the salvific nature of His death, it is often called the “helmet of salvation.” The alb (from the Latin word for " white" ) is the long robe worn by all clerics and nowadays by some liturgical ministers. Its origin is the ancient Roman garment worn under the tunic or cloak. The alb is a symbol of purity. The cincture is a cord which serves as a belt around the priest's alb. It symbolizes chastity. The stole is a long nar row scar f worn over the alb and under the chasuble. It is of the same liturgical color as the chasuble. The stole both symbolizes the clerical office and the yoke of Christ. The word chasuble comes to us from a Latin word meaning "a small house." This garment is worn over the other liturgical vestments. Its origin is the ordinary overcoat worn in Roman times. It is like a poncho, without sleeves. The liturgical colors also speak a language of their own. White is a symbol of joy, glory and triumph. Red represents the blood of Christ’s passion – in which the blood of the martyrs is made holy, fire and the Holy Spirit. Green is a symbol of hope and life eternal. Violet is the color of mourning, the solemn majesty and royal calling, penance and humility. Black is also the symbol of mourning. Gold is the sign of great joy, solemnity, and celebration. Rose (the color for Gaudete Sunday and Laetare Sunday). You’ll notice our priests, transitional deacons, and seminarians also wear the long black cassock. Strictly speaking, this black robe is not a liturgical vestment. Rather, it is considered “street dress” for the priest. Down to the 5th century the cassock was the ordinary dress worn by everyone, clerical and lay. Toward the end of the 6th century it was replaced by a more convenient short one, introduced by the invading Barbarian tribes. However, the church retained the long cassock for its clerics. The Roman Collar symbolizes obedience, the sash/belt symbolizes chastity, the cassock usually has five buttons on each sleeve, symbolizing the five wounds of Christ, and 33 buttons down the front, one for each year of Christ’s earthly life. The color black is used to symbolize simplicity of life, dedication, and also mourning and death for the priest. The symbolism is dying to oneself to rise and serve the Lord and His Church. The use of vestments modeled on first-century Roman Imperial Court and street garments, testifies to the continuity of the Church from her beginnings and her Jewish heritage.
What doe the vestments of a priest mean? The Use of some kind of special vesture in the conduct of worship seems to be universal, even among so-called primitive peoples. It reflects the conviction that ordinary dress is not appropriate, not reverent, for leading the highest of all human endeavors, the worship of God. The Catholic Church has received a treasured inheritance of sacred architecture, elaborate liturgy, ornate and beautiful vestments, and sacred music from our Jewish background. The details of the setting of worship, the sanctuary, are elaborated in Exodus 25-27, 33, 35-38. Sacred vestments are minutely described in Exodus 28 and 39. Liturgy in general is the subject of Exodus 29 and Leviticus 1-8, 12, 14-16, 21-24. The style of Catholic liturgical vesture reflects types of secular garments worn in the Roman Empire in the Church's early days. Over the ages many different types of priestly vestments have developed, especially those worn by bishops, archbishops and the pope himself. Always their purpose is to heighten our sense of the holy in worship. The description which follows reflects the sequence in which priests vest. The amice is a rectangular white linen cloth secured around the back of the priest's neck by two strings tied in the front. The purpose of the amice (from the Latin word "to cover") is to cover the priest's

Spiritual but not Religious... Francis Cardinal George It’s somewhat fashionable these days to describe oneself as “spiritual but not religious.” This is supposed to mean that one is open to an experience beyond the commercial or the political but not tied to "institutional" religion. In this, one claims an experience of transcendence that is bound by no one else's rules. People can always make claims to any kind of experience. The question is always: Who cares? Why should anyone care where someone else gets a spiritual high? Because no one really cares, the claim to be spiritual but not religious is always safe. It's never a threat and can be dismissed quite easily. The claim to be religious is different. It is a claim that God himself has taken the initiative to reveal himself to us and tell us who he is and who we are. Religion binds us to God according to his will, not ours, in a community of faith that he has brought into existence. Being religious can therefore be threatening. Being religious as a Christian starts with the belief that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. Faith in Christ's resurrection is central to Christian religion. Jesus is not just someone's personal idea. He really exists in a real body, now transformed by conquering death itself. Those who are "spiritual" often deny Christ's resurrection as a physical event, something that makes its own demands when you bump into it. They prefer a Christ who is safely an idea in their minds, made in their image and likeness. By contrast, the risen Christ, the real Christ, breaks into our experience and personally seeks those he calls to be religious, to believe what God has done for us, much to our surprise. Meeting the risen Christ spiritually therefore depends upon believing in him religiously. We are given the gift of faith in the sacrament of Baptism, in which we are configured to the risen Christ. Faith is persistent and permeates our core, even when there's not a lot of spiritual tingle in our lives! "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief," is the cry of a religious person who asks Christ to take him beyond his own spiritual experience into a new world where bodies as well as minds share in God's grace. Faith takes seriously everything that comes from God. The faith-filled person is sure of God and distrustful of himself. Unlike faith in God, experience is often wrong in religious matters. Our personal faith needs strengthening by the community of believers (the Church), lest it degenerate into an individual spirituality. One solid and sure means of corroborating our personal faith is to check it against the faith of the Church, the community founded by Christ upon the apostles. One way to make that check is to go to Peter, the apostle Jesus called to he a rock. Peter and his successors confirm our faith and keep us on the path of true religion.
Nation-wide collection to support completion of Trinity Dome at the Basilica of the National Shrine Catholics around the United States have a special opportunity to honor Mary, the mother of Jesus, the Patroness of the United States of America, by donating to a special collection to help complete the installation of mosaic artwork in the Trinity Dome in the basilica located in Washington, D.C., that is named in her honor. Completing the Trinity Dome marks the final part of the original plans for the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, which began with the laying of the foundation for the shrine in 1920. The National Shrine is often called “America’s Catholic church,” because it welcomes more than one million people from around the country and the world every year. It is the largest Catholic church in North America, and one of the 10 largest churches in the world. Through the Trinity Dome project, Catholics around the country will have the opportunity to take part in creating a beautiful dome for their church and, more importantly, for those who go there to honor Jesus and His mother, Mary. The mosaic installation on the Trinity Dome was launched on October 28, 2016, when Cardinal Donald Wuerl blessed the worksite that sits 159 feet above the main part of the basilica. If everything goes according to plan, the dome will be dedicated on December 8, 2017, which is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception honoring Mary. Monsignor Walter Rossi, the basilica’s rector, said he thinks the Trinity Dome “will be the crowning jewel of the shrine.” It will feature a colorful mosaic depicting the Holy Trinity – God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Also depicted on the artwork will be Mary, along with angels and a procession of saints who have a connection to the Americas and to the basilica. During Mass NEXT weekend, parishes across the nation are having a special second collection to support the completion of the Trinity Dome. By donating money, Catholics have the opportunity to say “thank you” to their Blessed Mother, and to continue John’s work of caring for her through the sacred space that is dedicated to her. To see pictures of the mosaic in progress and to get more information on the Trinity Dome project, visit www.trinitydome.org.
