LENTEN TALKS In church at 7 pm
“It’s the Mass which Matters”
March 21... In the Upper Room
March 28... The Early Church
April 4……. The Medieval Explosion
April 11…. From Trent to the New Missal
These talks will help
prepare us for the
new translation that
will go into use the
First Sunday of
Advent, 2011.
Lent is a privileged time for all of us to reaffirm
our choice of Jesus Christ and his way, and so strengthen our attachment to the
true foundation even more firmly. One of the great hymns speaks of Jesus in
words which echo Psalm 118, a psalm particularly associated with Easter:
“Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the head and cornerstone” and
describes him as the Church’s “help forever, and her confidence alone”. This is
the season to rediscover our love for the things of God and know the
confidence that comes from Him. In this bulletin you will find a special section
which details all the activities of Lent, and at the back of church you can find
little devotional books which will help you with private prayer. Very often,
though, it’s easier to pray when we have others around to encourage us, so you
might want to come to Taizé Prayer on the first Monday of Lent and simply let
the haunting and prayerful chants wash over you; and I know that many of you,
like me, find that the Stations of the Cross on the Fridays of Lent still have a
tremendous power to move hard hearts. On those Fridays we will also come
together for mutual support of a different kind at the soup suppers and fish fry.
On four of the Mondays there will be the opportunity to deepen faith by
learning about the history of the Mass in a series of talks which I’m calling “It’s
the Mass which matters”. This will help to prepare us for the new translation of
the Mass which we will begin to use in Advent of this year. There will also be
several opportunities for reconciliation, that annual preparation for Easter which
the Church recommends particularly strongly. May God help us all to keep a
good Lent and find our lives set on firmer foundations when Easter comes.
