Fourth Sunday of Easter April 26 2015 HOLY T RINITY Vtà{ÉÄ|v V{âÜv{ 9150 Pflumm / Lenexa, Kansas 66215 Website: www.htlenexa.org / email: holytrinity@htlenexa.org We are a Catholic family who loves, grows and lives in faith through Jesus Christ 2 Holy Trinity Catholic Church Liturgy Liturgical Formation Encountering Christ in the words of the Mass—After greeting the altar, the priest and deacon go to their chairs. All make the sign of the Cross, a gesture and prayer that wraps them in the salvific power of the Crucifixion and the care of the Trinity. The priest-celebrant greets the people, using one of three ritual formulas. These greetings signify Christ’s presence to the gathered community, and with the people’s response (“And with your spirit”) the “mystery of the Church gathered together is made manifest” (GIRM, 50). We recall here that the Old Testament gathering at Mt. Sinai prefigures the Church. At this first divine assembly, 1) God calls his people together 2) to hear his word; 3) the people give their assent to what they have heard, and they 4) seal their bond or covenant with a sacrifice. Called the “ecclesia” in the Septuagint (the Greek version of the Old Testament), this gathering of God’s chosen is identified by its first step, the necessary “calling out” of the people: without the call, there can be no ecclesia. The same is true for the liturgy of the Church, for the entire ecclesia depends upon the Lord’ call spoken through the voice of his priests. The people’s response to each of these greetings is the same: “And with your spirit” (Et cum spiritu tuo). Like the greetings that are expressed in St. Paul’s letters, the substance of this traditional response also is found there. Saint Paul concludes his Letter to the Galatians with “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen” (6:18), and his Second Letter to Timothy similarly, “The Lord be with your spirit, Grace be with all of you” (4:22). The fact that these salutations appear at the end of his letters leads some liturgists to see a parallel between the greeting and response at the Mass’ beginning and the same greeting and response in its Concluding Rites.
