Prayer before mass Come, Holy Spirit, quiet my heart and my head, as I gather

with my family, friends and neighbors to celebrate Mass. Quiet the thoughts and distractions that will keep me from worship. Open my mouth in prayer and song. Open my ears to hear

God’s word. Open my eyes to the mystery of the Eucharist. Open my heart to receive Jesus with love. May I go forth strengthened to take the Mass into my life this week. In a special way, we pray for our twinning parish, St. Mary’s in

Uxbridge. Amen.

oración antes de la misa Ven, Espíritu Santo, silencia mi corazón y mi cabeza, y así junto con mi familia, amigos y vecinos celebrar esta misa. Calma los

pensamientos y las distracciones que me impiden vivir esta celebración. Abre mi boca a la oración y al canto. Abre mis

oídos para escuchar la palabra de Dios. Abre mis ojos al misterio de la Eucaristía. Abre mi corazón para recibir a Jesús

con amor. Permíteme salir fortalecido al celebrar esta misa para vivir mi vida esta semana. Oraciones especiales para nuestra parroquia de hermanamiento St. Marys en Uxbridge. Amen.

Corpus Christi | El Cuerpo Y La Sangre De Cristo

Lessons in Stained Glass and Stone The new statue of Saint Bernard in the sanctuary has three features we can use to learn about our Patron Saint. First of all, he

has a bishop’s crozier, even though he was not a bishop. He has the crozier because he was abbot of the monastery of Cistercians of Clairvaux (Clear Valley) in France. The curve of the crozier is in the direction of an abbot who is in his own

monastery or a bishop who is in his own diocese. So we can say that we are his flock and that he intercedes for us all the time in our church of his name. Secondly, we see a book in his hand. (We see the same in the stained glass window of Bernard to

the left of the statue.) Bernard wrote many very brilliant documents, letters, and sermons. Therefore, we cannot say with certainty which of his works is in his hand, but perhaps it is the collection of his famous Sermons on the Song of Songs.

Finally, a songbird is at his feet, which represents his nickname “The Mellifluous Doctor," which he has because his writings are so eloquent that they flow like honey, or like the song of the birds in the morning.

Lecciones de Vitral y Estatuas La estatua nueva de San Bernardo en el santuario tiene tres características que podemos descubrir para aprender sobre nuestro Patrón. Ante todo, él tiene un bastón de mando como un obispo. Pero él no fue obispo, fue abad del monasterio del Orden del Císter de Valle Clara en Francia. Por ello, él tiene el bastón de mando. La curva del bastón está en la dirección de un abad que está en su propio monasterio. Por esto mismo, decimos que somos su rebaño y que él intercede por nosotros todo el tiempo en

nuestro Iglesia de San Bernardo. En segundo lugar, vemos un libro en su mano. (Así como lo vemos el en el vitral de San Bernardo a la izquierda de la estatua.) Bernardo escribió muchos documentos, cartas, y sermones muy brillantes. Por lo tanto,

no podemos decir con certeza cuál escritura está en su mano, pero quizás es la colección de sus famosos Sermones sobre el Cantar de los Cantares. Finalmente, un pájaro cantor está a sus pies. Bernardo tiene el apodo “Doctor Melifluo” porque sus

escrituras son tantos elocuentes que fluyen como la miel, o como el canto de los pájaros por la mañana.
