La campaña del CSA de la diócesis of Las Vegas provée los fondos necesarios para la pastoral de la iglesia Católica en el sur de Nevada.

Les pido que oren antes de hacer su promesa, y hagan la decisión de ayudarnos del mejor modo que puedan. Gracias por su generosidad y que Dios les bendiga.
Pope Francis tells us, “Every consecrated person is a
gift for the People of God on its journey.” Many of us
can recall special women or men religious who played
meaningful roles in our lives. This may have been the
sister who taught us in second grade, supporting our
educational development, or perhaps it was the
religious brother who led us on retreat and nourished
our spiritual growth.
As a way of expressing our appreciation for the many
sacrifices and the many gifts these men and women
have shared with us, a special Mass honoring our
Religious Priests, Sisters and Brothers will be
celebrated on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 5:30 p.m. at
Our Lady of Las Vegas Catholic Church, 3050 Alta
Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89107. Bishop Pepe invites all
to join in this celebration of thanksgiving.
Thank you,

CANONICAL- LITURGICAL FORUM
BY FR. GEM BANDIVAS, JCL, MBA, PhD
QUESTION: When the priest or a deacon returns
the consecrated hosts to the Tabernacle, are the people supposed to stand up? I noticed that all the altar servers and the sacristan stand up during this time. Don’t you think we need some uniformity in gestures and postures during our celebration? >>> Ernie, SPA parishioner
Dear Ernie: There have been several questions regarding
this practice recently. During my meeting with all the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion two weeks ago, this particular question came up. When I met all our volunteer catechists last Saturday, the same question was asked. I guess my response to your query would be the same with what I told them. I need to refer you to what the Catholic Church teaches us on this matter.
First of all, with regard to the gesture and posture of the faithful during Mass, No. 43 of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) says the following:
"43. The faithful should stand from the beginning of the Entrance chant, or while the priest approaches the altar, until the end of the Collect; for the Alleluia chant before the Gospel; while the Gospel itself is proclaimed; during the Profession of Faith and the Prayer of the Faithful; from the invitation, Orate, fratres (Pray, brethren), before the Prayer over the Offerings until the end of Mass, except at the places indicated below.
"They should, however, sit while the readings before the Gospel and the responsorial Psalm are proclaimed and for the Homily and while the Preparation of the Gifts at the Offertory is taking place; and, as circumstances allow, they may sit or
kneel while the period of sacred silence after Communion
is observed. "But they should kneel at the consecration, except when
prevented on occasion by reasons of health, lack of space, the large number of people present, or some other good reason. Those who do not kneel ought to make a profound bow when the priest genuflects after the consecration.
"Nevertheless, it is up to the Conference of Bishops to adapt the gestures and postures described in the Order of Mass to the culture and reasonable traditions of the people. The Conference, however, must make sure that such adaptations correspond to the meaning and character of each part of the celebration.
"With a view to a uniformity in gestures and postures during one and the same celebration, the faithful should follow the directions which the deacon, lay minister, or priest gives according to whatever is indicated in the Missal."
Since some interpreted this number as obliging the faithful to remain standing during the whole time of the
distribution of communion, the Holy See responded with an answer to a doubt published in its official organ "Notitiae" (39 [2003] page 533):
"In many places the faithful are accustomed to remain kneeling in private prayer or to sit after they return to their seats once they have individually received the Holy Eucharist at Mass. Whether the provisions of the Third typical edition of the
Roman Missal prohibit this practice? "Response: In the negative and with a rationale. "The rationale is that by the prescripts of the General
Instruction of the Roman Missal, n. 43 is intended to give, on the one hand, within broad limits some uniformity of posture in the congregation for the various parts of the celebration of the Holy Mass, and at the same time, on the other hand, not to regulate posture so rigidly that those who wish to remain kneeling or to sit would no longer be free to do so."
Therefore, it does not appear correct to oblige the faithful to adapt a particular posture after communion.
Second, the GIRM does not give such importance to returning the Blessed Sacrament to the tabernacle as to warrant an elaborate rite. To wit:
"163. When the distribution of Communion is finished, the priest himself immediately and completely consumes at the altar any consecrated Wine that happens to remain; as for any consecrated hosts that are left, he either consumes them at the altar or carries them to the place designated for the reservation of the Eucharist.
"Upon returning to the altar, the priest collects any fragments that may remain. Then, standing at the altar or at the credence table, he purifies the paten or ciborium over the chalice, then purifies the chalice, saying quietly: Quod ore
sumpsimus (Lord, may I receive), and dries the chalice with a purificator. If the vessels are purified at the altar, they are carried to the credence table by a minister. Nevertheless, it is also permitted, especially if there are several vessels to be purified, to leave them suitably covered on a corporal, either at the altar or at the credence table, and to purify them immediately after Mass following the dismissal of the people."
As can be seen, there is nothing here that suggests a specific rite. This is a practical question that is done within the context of the purification. While all due reverence should be observed, there is no need to unduly emphasize this moment.
I believe there are several reasons why this is not an apt moment for underlying the Eucharistic presence. First of all, as reflected in the rubrics cited above, this has never been a particularly solemn moment of the celebration. Second, and more importantly, we are still within the context of the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the emphasis at this moment is on thanksgiving for having partaken of this sacrifice through Holy Communion.
