Comments from Deacon Joe
♦ A Day in the Life A parishioner recently said to me, “It would be interesting to know what priests and deacons do
all day!” (That’s a nice way of asking if we actually work Monday through Friday!). But since most parishioners may not
know what occupies our time during the week, here’s a peek at a day in the life of a St. Mary’s clergyman (I can only
speak for myself, not for the priests…but I suppose our days are probably pretty similar):
6:30am – Rise and shine! Before anything, I make a morning offering, consecrating all of my thoughts, words, and
actions to God through Mary so that He may use me to minister to the needs of His people.
7:30am – In the church for a “holy hour” – an hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Prayer is the most critical
part of our day. We are only able to serve the parishioners because we are totally, madly in love with Jesus Christ.
8:30am - Pray Morning Prayer. Priests and deacons take a vow to pray from a book called the “Liturgy of the Hours.”
This is the official prayer of the church consisting of Psalms, other Scripture readings, and prayers for the needs of the
world. We pray from this book five times every day (Morning, midday, evening, night, and once whenever we can). It’s
a great routine to meditate on the Word of God!
9:00am – Mass! How awesome it is to be able to receive our Eucharistic Lord on a daily basis! For me, this is the
highlight of the day – if I’ve received Christ, it is already a good day, no matter what else happens.
9:30am – Checking in at the office. I have a few phone calls to return, emails to catch up on, random things to throw in
the copier. Administrative details are part of every job – not always fun, but they’ve gotta get done!
10:15am – It’s off to visit the sick and homebound. If a parishioner is in Danbury Hospital and lets us know in the office,
we go visit them. We also have specific parishioners whom we visit weekly who are blessed with many years. We
bring Communion to them and visit with them.
11:30am – Lunchtime! A few minutes scrounging around in the refrigerator produces a delightful and healthful lunch.
As an old priest used to say after every meal, “Well, that ought to hold body and soul together for one more day!”
12:15pm – Midday prayer. Good stuff – the true daily bread! This is followed by more office work and maybe a meeting
with Fr. Jeff regarding upcoming Youth Group trips.
1:15pm – Teach first grade in the school. It’s always great to see the enthusiasm and innocence on their faces when
they do a craft like making their own Advent wreath or when they act out the Stations of the Cross. It brings home the
saying of Jesus: “The kingdom of God belongs to just such as these!”
2:00pm – Time for the Rosary, which (on nice days) I pray outside, strolling around our beautiful campus.
2:30pm – Meet with a couple preparing for marriage. This is a great opportunity for evangelization, as I try to convince
young couples of their need for God to be the central aspect of their marriage. We have a great meeting, as this couple
expresses a desire to raise their kids Catholic and make the Faith a part of their family life.
3:30pm – Time to go work out. A healthy body is a necessity if we are to have healthy souls. You’ll often see me
running in Huntington Park or along Codfish Hill Rd. Please don’t hit me with your car if you see me!
4:30pm – Oh shoot, I forgot to work on my homily. Now’s the time that I seek God’s wisdom on the words to preach for
Sunday’s Masses. I write down a rough draft on my computer as I listen to some Christian rock music in the
background.
5:30pm – Evening prayer, followed by dinner. This is my time to catch up on watching the news or reading the paper.
Gotta know what’s going on in the world these days!
6:30pm – Finally, a quiet moment. I do a little spiritual reading (currently I’m reading an autobiography of a priest who
lived under the persecution of Elizabethan England during the 1500s, called “An Autobiography of a Hunted Priest”.
Fascinating reading!).
♦ Ever Ancient, Ever New Have you ever discovered something in your basement that is somewhat outdated, but
you keep it because it is part of your heritage? I think of things like typewriters, or polyester leisure suits, or antique
books, knick-knacks, old license plates (for some reason people love to keep these things), old report cards, bottles
and containers from a former era, ancient vacuum cleaners, etc. These things don’t have any practical value, but they
are a link to our past and we often keep them even though they’re not functional, because we want to remember where
we came from and a piece of our history.
Comments from Deacon Joe
The Church, being 2,000 years old, has a rich heritage as well. One of the pieces of our heritage is the Latin language,
which for centuries was the normative language of the Church.
A couple parishioners came to me and expressed that they were disappointed that we were using certain Latin
responses for Masses in Lent. Their reason was because “it wasn’t practical, no one understands them.” This is
certainly understandable on one level – yes, it is easier to understand English, true. But why do we still persist in
keeping elements of Latin in the Mass? A few reasons:
1.
It helps us to remember our heritage. We are linking ourselves to the millions of believers who worshipped in
that language for centuries before we were born.
2. The Second Vatican Council urged us to keep Latin in our liturgy. The Vatican II Document “Sacrosanctum
Concilium” (#36) states, “The use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin Rites.” (the “Latin Rites”
refer to the Roman Catholic Mass as we are familiar with it, as opposed to the Eastern Rites of the Church
such as the Maronite Rite or Byzantine Rite).
3. Holy things should be mysterious and different from the ordinary things we use in daily life. That’s why at
Mass, the priest wears different clothes (vestments), uses a different cup (a chalice), a different type of bread
(unleavened bread), and we make different postures than we ordinarily do (such as genuflection, kneeling,
bowing, etc). Likewise, it is fitting that we use a sacred, mysterious, different language in parts of the Mass to
express the holy and truly “otherworldly” and “timeless” mysteries taking place on the altar.
4. The Latin language is the standard language of the Church throughout the world. When I was in Spain this
past summer walking the Camino, I was asked to lead a prayer service by the religious brothers and sisters
who ran the hostel. I was happy to do so except…there were people who spoke only French, Spanish,
English, Italian, and Portugese…and there was no common language I could use for everyone. But at the end
of the service we began to sing the “Salve Regina” (the Hail Holy Queen prayer) in Latin, and everybody knew
it and sang! It truly was the universal language, and if you go to Mass with the Pope in Rome, you will know
some of the parts of the liturgy.
So, please understand that we’re not trying to make the Mass less accessible to the people. Rather, there are
many good reasons to keep some amount of Latin in the Mass during Lent. I hope you enjoy singing those Mass
parts (feel free to use the handy card in the pews to sing along!).
