THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CONSTITUTION ON THE SACRED LITURGY
This December marks the 50th anniversary of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy that was promulgated by the
Bishops of the Second Vatican Council. As so many of us know, this document dramatically changed the way in
which we celebrate the Mass. Changes in language, using the vernacular, orientation of the priest towards the
people, as well as the inclusion of lay ministers in the celebration are only some of the ways in which we as a
Church began to experience the Paschal Mystery in new yet very ancient ways. In the coming weeks and months,
we will be including sections of the Constitution in the bulletin to give you an opportunity to reflect on this great
Mystery of Faith. We will also have a discussion of the document on Sunday December 1st at 11:00 in the Choir/
Media room. All are invited.
“. . . by baptism, all are plunged into the paschal mystery of Christ: they die with him, are buried with him, and rise
with him”
“[Christ] is present . . . when the Church prays and sings”
(Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, 7)
Since the Second Vatican Council, parishioners have been encouraged to sing the texts of the liturgy. Much of the
music of the liturgy is based on Scripture, and thus on the words and life of Christ. Music expresses the faith of the
Church, but also builds unity and harmony. Singing and praying requires the use of our lungs, the breath that
comes out of our being. Breath is an ancient word for the Spirit. When we pray and sing, the Spirit given to us in
Baptism flows through us, empowering our words and music with Christ’s presence. When members of the
Church pray and sing, their words are infused with Christ’s words. It is indeed Christ, present in the action of
singing and prayer, who takes our prayers to God.
JAMAICA RETURN!
Once again, the parish is planning an immersion trip to Kingston, Jamaica to participate in the life of our sister
parish, St. Anne's and St. Anne’s primary school. The proposed dates for the trip this year are January 18th-26th. If
you are interested in finding out more about the trip, please contact Fr. Bob by November 25th.

CARDINAL SEÁN O’MALLEY STATEMENT ON THE PHILIPPINES
My Dear Friends in Christ:
The Archdiocese of Boston and the international Catholic community stand in solidarity with our Filipino
brothers and sisters in the wake of the events of Typhoon Haiyan. As reports continue concerning the loss of life
and the devastation of this storm, possibly the most severe in recorded history, we are committed to providing
all possible assistance and support. At this time, I am joined with the bishops of the United States, gathered in
Baltimore for the annual meeting, in developing a plan for outreach to the Filipino community, and a national
collection to assist with relief efforts and the rebuilding that will be necessary in the Philippines.
In this time of crisis, we turn to our Lord Jesus Christ, who has promised to be with us always, in prayer, for the
souls of those who perished in the storm, and for the strength to bring the needed healing to the injured, and to
assist the Philippines in recovering from this natural disaster. Together, we will go forward with our Filipino
brethren as they carry out their mission in the Church and the world.
Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM Cap.
Archbishop of Boston

Queridos Parroquianos,
Del Escritorio del Padre Bob
En este mes de Noviembre recordamos a los miembros de nuestras familias y nuestros amigos que son
difuntos. Los recordamos con cariño y tenemos confianza que estén en las manos de Dios. Durante la
misa en el día de los difuntos rezamos esta oración
Brille, Señor, sobre ellos la luz eterna: Vivan con tus santos por siempre,
porque tú eres compasivo. Señor da les el descanso eterno . Merezcan
alcanzar los gozos de la eterna bienaventuranza.
Por Jesucristo, nuestro Señor.
Ustedes son invitados a inscribir los nombres de ellos que quisieran recordar durante este mes en el
Libro de los Difuntos. Les prometo que recordaré a sus difuntos amados en las Misas que celebro este
mes.
Sinceramente,
Padre Bob
El Don de la Oración
Ya hemos empezado el programa, Don de la Oración este martes pasado. Vamos a repetirlo este
domingo después de la Misa para todos ustedes que quieren participar. La primera parte de este
programa tiene que ver con el comprender de la oración. Habrá oportunidades de conversar sobre esta
experiencia tan importante en nuestras vidas como Cristianos. Los martes empezamos a las 7 y quince en
la capilla de la rectoría. Los domingos empezamos a la una y media. Todos son invitados a participar.
Día de Oración de Adviento
Si desea dedicar unas horas a la reflexión y la oración, en preparación para la
celebración del nacimiento del Señor, le invitamos a un Día de Oración de Adviento
el día sábado 14 de diciembre entre las 9.00 am y 2.00 pm en nuestra parroquia.
Este día, organizado por nuestra parroquia y la Colaborativa Jesuita, le ayudará a hacer un alto en la agitada
rutina de las fiestas de fin de año y detenerse para disfrutar de la gracia del Adviento.
Más información en los próximos días.
BOOK
DISCUSSION
On November 24th, there will be a discussion of Awakening the Brain: The Neuropsychology of Grace by Charlotte
Tomaino at 11:15 in the parish offices. According to one reviewer, "Dr. Tomaino’s brilliant work as a neuroscientist
and devoted spiritual practioner has birthed an inspiring, practical book that offers readers all that they would
want to know about the undeniable partnership between the human brain and inner spirit." Please join us on
November 24th to discuss this interesting book; all are welcome to participate.

What is the liturgical color for LENT?
MASS-TERING THE LITURGY
PURPLE
Lent is a major penitential season of preparation for Easter. It begins
on Ash Wednesday and, if the penitential days of Good Friday and
Holy Saturday are included, lasts for forty days, since the six Sundays
with the season are not counted. The purple of Lent symbolizes
penance and reconciliation. On one Sunday during the season, Laetare
Sunday, the color becomes rose.

Easter?

“WE REMEMBER THEM": COPING WITH LOSS DURING THE HOLIDAYS
The loss of a loved one is difficult any time of the year, but the holidays can be especially
challenging for those struggling with bereavement. If grief has changed your experience and
expectations for the holidays, if the peace and joy of the season seem far removed, you are not
alone. Please join us and others of the parish family who have lost loved ones for a Service of
Remembrance on Sunday afternoon, November 24th from 3:00-5:30 p.m . We will first gather
in the Friary Room for companionship and the program will conclude with a prayer service in
the Lannon Chapel. Light refreshments will be served. You are invited to bring a photo or
memento of your loved one. For more information or to register for this program, please call
the Parish Office at 617-552-6102.
ADVENT MOVIE NIGHT
To kick off our Advent journey, the Spiritual Life Commission will present a showing of the 2010
film "Of Gods and Men," winner of the Grand Prize of the Cannes Film Festival, 2010, and
nominated for Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, 2011. The film explores the meaning
and calling of Christmas in a world marked by sin and division, through the eyes of eight Trappist
monks in Algeria. We will begin with a bite to eat in the Friary Room at 5:30 PM on Saturday,
November 30, and then proceed to watch the film, ending with dessert and a shared reflection and
discussion. Please RSVP if possible to have a food estimate. Email Pepe Ruiz, SJ <pepe@jesuits.net>
WANT MORE INSIGHT INTO THE READINGS YOU HEAR AT MASS?
Join us for PASTA & PRAYER, a prayerful conversation with friends over dinner to discuss the Sunday scriptures.
Feed your body, mind and soul!!
The next session, Becoming Involved, discussing the Christmas season readings, will take place
on Thursday, November 21, 2013 in the Dining Room at the Parish Office from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This
year, we will also explore the impact of the adoption of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy on our
faith lives and how it shapes our understanding of the Scriptures. Prior registration required: Call
Catherine at 617-782-5812 or e-mail to cfdesq@hotmail.com, to reserve a place.
