Praying Hands: How can you be a Minister to the Sick without ever leaving your own home? It’s easy!
Every week our bulletin has a list of people who have requested our prayers for healing, for hope, for courage and for strength. They need our prayers and they believe that our prayers are powerful. So, may I suggest that every day we pray for one person from that list. We can name that person as we bring our prayers to the heart of God and ask our loving God to lay His healing hands on them.
In that way, these people will no longer be names on a list, they will be people who are special to us and we can be prayer warriors in our own homes. Try it! Sr. Sheila

Holding Hands during the Our Father? “ADORATION OF THE LAMB” JAN VAN EYCK (1390– 1441)
Some of the faithful in the congregation are asking why the altar servers are no longer holding hands during the Our Father. Father Jerry asked me to explain why holding hands during the Our Father is not really something we need to worry about when we pray the Lord’s Prayer. We need to worry about the core of our faith. The center of our faith as Catholics is the Eucharist; the real presence of the Lord is what distinguishes us from other denominations. Holding hands during the Our Father was spontaneously introduced in our Catholic liturgy following Vatican II, but neither the U.S Catholic Conference of Bishops nor the Holy See had approved this practice. I think people mean well, but what we do in Mass says something about what we believe, so we must be careful what we do. Holding hands says we feel good about the person next to us and want to express this by holding their hand. But when we are praying the Our Father is a solemn moment in the Mass when we are petitioning our Father and our focus should be FORWARD not to either side of us. Praying to God is not just about good feelings. It's about giving Him proper respect and showing Him love. Another well-intentioned but improper gesture is extending the hands; this is a charismatic-type gesture and is Protestant in its roots. According to the Roman Missal, this posture is generally reserved for the priest. In fact, the Popes have always encouraged us to "pray the Mass with the priest" and we do this interiorly while the Priest performs the actions. Outside of the Mass anyone may assume this posture. Indeed if holding hands was introduced to express the unity of the congregation: “Our Father” not “My Father”, then should we not be holding hands throughout the entire Mass? The unity that is sought really comes later and after a spiritual progression: First, as we fall on our knees and the priest offers the sacrifice of the Mass: we recall not only our Lord's passion, death, and resurrection but also our need as individuals to offer ourselves to Him. Second, we pray in the words our Savior taught us, the Lord's Prayer, in which we ask, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us," even the person next to us in the pew. Third, we offer the Sign of Peace, a gesture found in the earliest Masses to show a genuine unity based on peace and forgiveness. Finally, we receive Holy Communion, which truly brings us into communion with our Lord and with each other. Looking at the flow of this spiritual progression, the holding of hands at the Our Father is extraneous. Can a congregation hold hands anyway, even if it is extraneous? While no one can find fault if a husband and wife, or a family want spontaneously to hold hands during the Lord's Prayer, the priest does not have the right to introduce, mandate, or impose it. The Code of Canon Law (1983) does mandate: "The liturgical books approved by the competent authority are to be faithfully observed in the celebration of the sacraments; therefore, no one on personal authority may add, remove, or change anything in them" (Canon 826.1). “Then, a person in the pew should not feel obliged or coerced to hold hands with someone else during the Lord's Prayer, yet congregational "peer pressure" could easily lead to such feelings. One can only imagine how intimidated a person must feel by the rest of the congregation if he/she does not desire to hold hands, whether because of personal preference or because of another reason such as arthritis.”¨ Again, our main focus should be what is happening during Mass, in the Altar, when Jesus Our Lord is really present. Our leaders from Saint Joseph Catholic community came to the conclusion that there has to be some kind of instruction while we implement this change in the altar server ministry. I want to emphasize that hold-ing hands during the Our Father is NOT REQUIRED AND ANYONE WHO WISHES NOT TO HOLD HANDS DURING THE “OUR FATHER” SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE IN DOING SO! I hope I have clarified the reasons for this change and that we are here for you and willing to answer any further questions and concerns. Thanks for taking your time on reading this article.

¿TOMARSE DE LA MANOS DURANTE EL PADRE NUESTRO? Algunos de nuestros fieles se preguntan por qué los monaguillos ya no se toman de la mano durante el Padre Nuestro. Padre Jerry me pidió explicar por qué tomarse de las manos mientras oramos el Padre Nuestro no es realmente algo que tenemos que preocuparnos. Tenemos que preocuparnos más bien por el centro de nuestra fe. El centro de nuestra fe como católicos es la Eucaristía; la presencia real del Señor es lo que nos distingue de otros grupos. Esta práctica durante el Padre Nuestro se introdujo de forma espontánea en nuestra liturgia católica tras el Concilio Vaticano II, pero ni la Conferencia Católica de Obispos ni la Santa Sede han aprobado esta práctica. Creo que la gente tiene buenas intenciones, pero lo que hacemos en la Misa dice algo acerca de lo que creemos, por tanto debemos tener cuidado con lo que hacemos. Tomarnos de la mano es un gesto que dice que nos sentimos bien con la persona al lado de nosotros. Pero cuando estamos orando el Padre Nuestro es un momento solemne en la Misa en que estamos orando a nuestro Padre y nuestro enfoque debe ser hacia ADELANTE no a nuestros lados. Orar a Dios no es sólo acerca de los buenos sentimientos. Se trata de dar el debido respeto a Él. El gesto de las manos totalmente extendidas hacia arriba, si bien intencionado es un gesto protestante en sus raíces. De acuerdo con el Misal Romano, esta postura es generalmente reservada al sacerdote. De hecho, los Papas han siempre nos animó a "rezar la Misa con el sacerdote" y hacemos esto interiormente mientras que el sacerdote lleva a cabo las acciones. Fuera de la Misa nadie puede asumir esta postura. Di el hecho de agarrarse de las manos se introdujo para expresar la unidad de la congregación: "Padre nuestro" y no "Padre mío"; ¿entonces más bien deberíamos de estar tomados de la mano durante toda la Misa? La unidad que buscamos en la Misa realmente viene más tarde y después de una progresión espiritual: En primer lugar, nos ponemos de rodillas y el sacerdote ofrece el sacrificio de la Misa: recordamos la pasión, muerte y resurrección de nuestro Señor, En segundo lugar, oramos con las palabras de nuestro Salvador nos enseñó, el Padre Nuestro, en el que proclamamos: "Perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdo-namos a los que nos ofenden", incluso la personas a nuestros lados. En tercer lugar, ofrecemos el signo de la paz, un gesto practicado desde antiguo para mostrar una auténtica unidad basada en la paz y el perdón. Por último, recibimos la Santa Comunión (común-unión), que realmente nos pone en comunión con el Señor y con los demás. Desde este punto de vista, la práctica de tomarse de las manos en el Padre Nuestro es extraña. ¿Pueden los fieles tomarse de la mano de todos modos, incluso si es extraño? Si bien nadie puede encontrar nada malo si el esposo y la esposa, o una familia quieren espontáneamente tomarse de las manos durante la oración del Señor, el sacerdote no tiene el derecho de introducirla, o imponerla. El Código de Derecho Canónico (1983) nos dice: “Los libros litúrgicos aprobados por la autoridad competente se deben observar fielmente en la celebración de los sacramentos, por lo tanto, nadie en autoridad personal puede añadir, quitar o cambiar nada en ellos" (Canon 826.1). "Entonces, los fieles no deben sentirse obligados o forzados a tomarse de las manos con otra persona durante la oración del Señor; aunque a veces se puede sentir la presión de otros miembros de la congragación. Entonces es una decisión personal de tomarse o no de las manos, no una regla". Una vez más, nuestro objetivo principal como católicos debe ser lo que está sucediendo durante la misa, en el altar, cuando Jesús Nuestro Señor está realmente presente. Los líderes de nuestra parroquia de San José llegaron a la conclusión de que tiene que haber algún tipo de instrucción, mientras se implementan estos cambios en el ministerio de monaguillos. Quiero hacer hincapié en que tomarse de las manos durante el Padre Nuestro NO ES REQUERIDO Y CUALQUIER PERSONA QUE NO QUIERA TOMARSE DE LAS MANOS DURANTE EL "PADRE NUESTRO" DEBE SENTIRSE COMODO EN HACERLO! Espero que esta explicación aclare las razones de este cambio en el ministerio de los monaguillos. Nosotros (sacerdotes, coordinadoras de monaguillos, y yo) estaremos dispuestos a responder a cualquier pregunta adicional. Gracias por tomarse su tiempo al leer este artículo.
