๐ฟ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ธ๐๐๐ During Mass, the priest breaks the consecrated host and places a small piece into the chalice. This action is called commingling. What does it mean? โข ๐ข๐๐ถ๐ซ๐ธ๐ต ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐ฝ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ผ๐พ๐ป๐ป๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ท The bread and wine are consecrated separately, symbolizing the death of Jesus (the separation of His Body and Blood). When the priest places a fragment of the host into the chalice, it represents the reunion of Christโs Body and Blood, showing that He is risen and alive. โข ๐ข๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ท ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐ค๐ท๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ In the early Church, this practice was linked to the to the fermentum, where a portion of the Eucharist from the bishop (or the Pope) was shared with other communities. This showed that all believers were united in one faith and one sacrifice. Commingling is the direct modern continuation of the fermentum. โข ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐๐ป๐ช๐๐ฎ๐ป As the priest performs this action, he quietly prays: โMay this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.โ
As we celebrate the Ascension of the Lord today, we are reminded that it is a Holy Day of Obligation. Let us come together as a community to attend Mass and reflect on Christโs call to lift our hearts to heaven.
The Confirmation candidates from St. Judeโs Church and Church of the Good Shepherd gathered for a joyful and enriching camp as part of their preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Through prayer, activities, talks, and fellowship, the youths deepened their faith, built new friendships, and opened their hearts to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
As we celebrate the First Mass of Fr. Anthony Robert Peter and Fr. Philip Asirwalam, we give thanks to God for the gift of their vocation and priesthood. It is truly a great honour and blessing for our parishioners to witness and be part of this profound and grace-filled journey - from their calling, formation, and ordination, to this sacred moment at the altar. Their โyesโ to God is an inspiration to our community and a reminder of Godโs enduring love and faithfulness. May their ministry be filled with faith, humility, wisdom, and joy as they serve Godโs people with compassion and devotion. Let us continue to keep Fr. Anthony Robert Peter and Fr. Philip Asirwalam in our prayers, that the Lord may strengthen and guide them always in their sacerdotal ministry, granting them perseverance in trials, and peace in their hearts, and abundant grace as they faithfully carry out His mission.
