St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church | Tullahoma, Tennessee

Jesus’ Example for Helping Others In today’s second reading Paul offers a wonderful

argument to his converts at Corinth for seeking to help those in need. He is dealing with a practical problem, arranging a collection for the poor of the church of

Jerusalem; but as he often does, he develops an important teaching about Jesus to make his point.

After asking that they show their faith by generous gifts, he reminds them of the “gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). In the Incarnation our Lord

assumed our human nature, certainly becoming poor for one who is God. The ultimate gracious act of this poverty was going to the cross with all its terrible sufferings. By this act of poverty we definitely become rich. Now our

sins can be forgiven; we can share in the very life of God through the sacraments; we can attain eternal salvation!

FEAST OF FAITH Preparation of the Gifts

The altar is prepared, the gifts are received. Several brief rites follow

with accompanying prayers, some prayed silently by the priest and

deacon and others said aloud. We call this part of the Mass the

“preparation.” What kind of preparation is happening? First, the

presider holds up the paten or bowl containing the hosts, and says

words that Jesus must have said many times, since they derive from

ancient Jewish meal prayers: “Blessed are you, Lord God of all

creation!” We have brought forward our gifts, our offering to God,

and now we acknowledge that they are not really ours—the gifts that

we give are God’s gift to us. It is “through your goodness” that we

have gifts to offer. It is significant that we offer not wheat and grapes,

but bread and wine; “fruit of the earth and work of human hands.”

Bread and wine are both God’s work, and ours. These preparatory

rites also prepare us for what we are about to do in the Eucharist, a

mystery in which divine and human meet; a holy collaboration in

which our action is caught up into God’s divine plan.

YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH In celebration of the 150th anniversary of

Blessed Pope Pius IX’s declaration of St.

Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church,

opportunity to increase our love for St.

Joseph and knowledge, “to encourage us

to implore his intercession and to imitate

his virtues and his zeal" (Patris Corde).

catechetical material, and prayers/

devotions to assist in your celebration of

the special year. Please check this page
