OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP ROMAN CATHOLIC PARISH: The Parts of the Mass: The Offertory Procession

Homilies

Press release submission May 4, 2020

Mass

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Parish issued the following announcement on May 3

Last week we discussed the PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL The part of the Mass we focus on today is the OFFERTORY PROCESSION.

A family from our parish presents the bread and wine to the priest while a hymn is sung. The family is one of us and we unite our hearts with their actions as we sing the hymn.

Think of how the bread began as a grain of wheat planted in the ground by a farmer and how many people (those who harvested the grain, those who ground it into flour. those who baked the bread and transported it) have collaborated in bringing the bread to the altar. The same is true of the wine. It began with the planting of grapevines in a vineyard so many years ago. People tended, harvested and pressed the grapes and made them into wine.

When we present the “fruit of the earth and work of human hands” we bring all we have and all we are, indeed, all creation to be transformed by the Holy Spirit whom the priest will soon call down over the gifts.

Las partes de la misa: La Procesión del Ofertorio

La semana pasada hablamos sobre la ORACION DE LOS FIELES. La parte de la Misa en la que nos enfocaremos hoy es la PROCESIÓN DEL OFERTORIO.

Una familia de nuestra parroquia presenta el pan y el vino al sacerdote mientras se canta un himno. La familia es uno de nosotros y unimos nuestros corazones con sus acciones mientras cantamos el himno.

Piensa en cómo el pan comenzó como un grano de trigo plantado en el suelo por un agricultor y cuántas personas (los que cosecharon el grano, los que lo convirtieron en harina, los que hornearon el pan y lo transportaron) han colaborado para traer pan al altar. Lo mismo es cierto del vino. Comenzó plantando las viñas en un viñedo hace muchos años. La gente cuidaba, cosechaba y prensaba las uvas y las convertían en vino.

Cuando presentamos el "fruto de la tierra y del trabajo del hombre", llevamos todo lo que tenemos y todo lo que somos, de hecho, toda la creación para ser transformada por el Espíritu Santo a quien el sacerdote pronto invocará sobre las ofrendas.
