October 19, 2014
Am I praying correctly
after Communion?
Are we supposed to pray a specific prayer
after we genuflect and kneel in the pew
before we take our seats? What about after
Communion? I want to be sure I’m doing it
correctly.
There is no particular prayer to say when we
genuflect, enter the pew, and kneel for a while.
Genuflecting and kneeling are powerful expressions and prayers in themselves—we kneel only to
God.
But these gestures can become mere routine
unless we accompany them with a moment of
awareness and recollection and maybe a prayer like
“I adore you, O Christ, and I bless you, because
by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.”
Neither are there required prayers to say in the
moments after holy Communion as we return to the
pew. But this is a most special time. Giving it a
name, we call it thanksgiving. We silently remain
focused on the astonishing passion and affection of
Jesus in giving himself to us to eat and make part
of ourselves. It’s what gives us eternal life, the
personal life of Jesus in that Bread we eat. It’s
what makes possible the living of a truly Christian
life, the holy energy in that Body of Jesus.
So much depends on awareness; so much
depends on gratitude. Prayer books may help us
enter a time of thanksgiving. But surely we can
know enough to say, “Jesus, I love you.”
Choose one of the following activities as a way to
further reflect on the Sunday readings:
•
Have a family discussion about Church values and
teachings, and civil values and teachings. What social
injustices in our society can be addressed through
political involvement? How can our family speak out on
issues of violence, abortion, capital punishment, welfare,
euthanasia, poverty?
•
Discuss the phrase, “Give to God what is God’s.” What
belongs to God? How can your family show respect for
God and all God’s creation?
Every day of life is a gift from God. Gather in a circle and have
family members hold hands. Ask each person to thank God
for one of their gifts: “Thank you, God, for ____________.”
Conclude with the following prayer: “May we use our gifts to
glorify you by the way we live our lives.” Amen.

STEWARDS AMONG US
Matt & Suzie Fleming
Matt & Suzie joined Mary Queen in 1979.
Their wedding was one of the first
performed in La Salette Hall (former
church). They have 3 daughters and 6
beautiful grandchildren. Suzie serves in
the following ministries: Eucharistic
Minister, Lector, Ministers of Care,
Adoration, CCE Catechist, and joins in
helping with the festival. Matt is a member
of the Knights of Columbus 4th Degree, prepares and
serves lunch each Friday during Lent to the Knights and
Pastoral Staff, ACTS retreats, sponsors a booth at the
festival and assists with technology tasks at the church
as needed. They recently completed a 500 mile
pilgrimage, walking the Camino de Santiago Trail. The
Flemings continue to give their time and talent to Mary
Queen.
All members of Mary Queen are encouraged to explore and find a
ministry that interests you. If you give your time and talents then
through God’s grace you will be rewarded tenfold.

Lord Jesus, who went about doing good and healing all, we ask
you to bless our friends who are sick. Give them strength in
body, courage in spirit, and patience with pain. We ask this
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We offer the Vigil Candle as a Memorial Candle each
week to interested parishioners who would like to
request that it burn “In Memory of” or “In Honor
of” a loved one, living or deceased. Contact the
Receptionist in the Parish Office at 281-482-1391. The
name of your loved one will be published in the bulletin
and near the Sanctuary Candle in the Church.
