Every parish across the world will celebrate World Mission Sunday next week. It is a global sign of the Universal Church and mission. Your prayers and donations will help support churches, hospitals, schools and vocations in countries where the Church is beginning, where it is new. World Mission Sunday is our chance to assist Catholic Communities throughout the world become self sufficient and flourish. By sharing the gift of faith we can bring hope and love to those who need it most. The Gloria (“Glory to God in the highest”) is a beautiful and ancient hymn, which expands on a line from the New Testament (Luke 2:14). The text of the Gloria is one of the biggest changes in the new Roman Missal: the words have changed so much that it was necessary to compose entirely new musical settings. We have already begun using the new Gloria, and have probably noticed some of the differences between the new translation and the old one. FRIENDS OF FRASSATI The Friends of Frassati is a programme for young men in grades 11 and 12 who are interested in deepening their faith. Beginning October 24 we gather one Monday evening a month 6-8:30 p.m. at St. Marguerite d’Youville Parish. Each evening includes a meal, discussion of our faith and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Interested young men should contact: Fr. Steve at 905-792-9497 dyouvilleparish@sympatico.ca The change to “and on earth peace to people of good will” from “peace to His people on earth” may seem more restrictive, but it expresses the truth that our willing co‐operation is necessary for God’s grace to bear fruit. God does not force any of His gifts on humanity, including the gift of peace. Although the new translation may seem unnecessarily repetitive (“We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory”), each phrase is actually slightly different from the others. This use of multiple similar expressions God shows that no words can express the tremendous majesty of God. When we sing or say the Gloria, we honour God’s ineffable greatness. The first lines of the Gloria echo the angels’ message 108 to the shepherds, announcing the birth of Christ at the beginning of the holy Gospel according to St. Luke. At every Eucharistic celebration, we are united to the Church glorious in heaven and the angels help us to raise a joyful hymn of praise and honour to God. This song of the angels is used on all Sundays of the year, except those during Advent and Lent. It is important that we learn the new Gloria well before the beginning of Advent, so that we will be ready to rejoice with the angels – as well as those of Catholic brothers and sisters who don’t attend Holy Mass as regularly as they should – on the great feast of Christmas!
