FRUIT OF THE WORD The seed is the word of God. The agricultural
metaphors in all of today’s readings give richness to the message
that the word of God, cultivated in our hearts, bears much fruit in
our lives. Creation itself awaits the redemption of all, even as
our bodies await the resurrection. Just as we will rejoice in the
fulfillment of God’s word, so will all of creation sing for joy in
the Reign of God. The word of God is effective and holy; it brings
about exactly what it says. It is not futile or empty, but rich in
meaning for those who hear and are healed. Those who hear the word
of God and keep it will, with all creation, bear much fruit and
sing for joy. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Benedict
TOWARD HEAVEN Think well. Speak well. Do well. These three
things, through the mercy of God,
will make a person go to heaven.—St. Camillus de Lellis

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Two centuries ago, Archbishop John Carroll worried that
Americans would not appreciate the linguistic veil over our
worship, and asked that the liturgy in the new United States be in
English, not Latin. How did our liturgy come to be in Latin in the
first place? In the first century, the dominant language in the
regions where the church first flourished was Greek. Today in much
of the world, almost everyone speaks at least a bit of English.
Recently, the European Union even considered making English its
official language, a curious proposal since only two
English-speaking countries are members. Just as English is a
unifying language today, it was hard to function in the ancient
world without a smattering of Greek. Even the word “Eucharist”
comes from the Greek for “thanksgiving.” For a long time, Greek was
the language of worship, even in Rome. Slowly, society in the west
shifted to a bias for Latin and against Greek. Latin first appeared
in public prayer at the end of the second century, in the colonial
outposts of North Africa. Soon, Latin became the language of
culture, and so as fixed prayer forms were written, they were
transmitted in Latin. From Rome and Africa, over the next four
centuries, the new liturgical language of Latin spread north to
Gaul and Britain. —Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch
