[Robert Drobot]

To be a Roman Rite Catholic you must believe the body of Jesus Christ Christ is present in each consecrated wafer ( Holy Eucharist ); that the sacrifice of Calvary is repeated at every Mass; and that he gives Himself to us in the form of Holy Communion to sustain His creation ( you ) as His tabernacle. Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the Tabernacle or through exposition : Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is a wonderful devotion that adores Jesus Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament. Through a deeper love and closer relationship with Jesus Christ, you acquire the strength, healing and peace to make it through your pilgrimage of life and to achieve your ultimate goal - Heaven and the Beatific Vision. In many ways, Our Lord, is calling us to worship and receive Him in the EuchariSaint He speaks this desire in many ways: through the Pope and the Magisterium of the Church, in the Bible ( Blessed Apostle Saint John 6 ), through his Blessed Mother in approved Marian apparitions, through the testimonies of Saints and Martyrs, through Eucharistic miracles, through Church approved messages given by Jesus Christ by Divine Revelation, through our souls who long for Jesus Christ in Communion, and through our suffering world which is in much need of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Unfortunately many of us disbelieve or have grown indifferent towards Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Holy Mother most merciful, we implore the infinite mercy of thy Son even more, for now doth the world and the Church so reek of doubt and error. Everywhere thy Son is blasphemed and smited in the Holy Eucharist; But what is still worse is the apostasy of both clerics and laity who no longer hold dear the whole and summit of our Faith; His Sacrifice and Sacrament of Body and Blood. In our un-dying love of the Bread of Life, the Everlasting Manna, the Holiest of Holies; we render unto thy Son adoration, thanksgiving, and atonement in reparation for these heinous acts of blasphemy. Would that we could shed our own blood to make them cease. Again, Holy Mother, thou who art the enemy of the serpent, send forth thy legions to protect thy Son in the Blessed Sacrament, and command thy legions to act upon the mind and will of those who would blaspheme our Lord's Body and Blood. COMMUNION IN THE HAND BY ONE NOT CONSECRATED REMAINS A PROHIBITED AND CONDEMNED ABOMINATION WITHIN THE HOLY AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH "Communion in the hand" is a Protestant innovation foisted upon the Roman Rite Catholic world in the name of false ecumenism. The Novus Ordo practice of communion in the hand is rooted in the rejection of the Catholic doctrine on the Holy Eucharist and the denial of the Catholic priesthood. The Church has condemned communion in the hand from the early centuries : Pope Saint Sixtus ( 115-125 ). Prohibited the faithful from even touching the Sacred Vessels: "Statutum est ut sacra vasa non ab aliis quam a sacratis Dominoque dicatis contrectentur hominibus..." [It has been decreed that the Sacred Vessels are not to be handled by others than by those consecrated and dedicated to the Lord.] Pope Saint Eutychian ( 275-283 ). Forbade the faithful from taking the Sacred Host in their hand. Saint Basil The Great, Doctor of The Church ( 330-379 ). "The right to receive Holy Communion in the hand is permitted only in time of persecution." Saint Basil considered Communion in the hand so irregular that he did not hesitate to consider it a grave fault. COUNCIL OF SARAGOSSA ( 380 ). It was decided to punish with EXCOMMUNICATION anyone who dared to continue the practice of Holy Communion in the hand. The Synod of Toledo confirmed this decree. Pope Saint Leo The Great ( 440-461 ). Energetically defended and required faithful obedience to the practice of administering Holy Communion on the tongue of the faithful. SYNOD OF ROUEN (650). Condemned Communion in the hand to halt widespread abuses that occurred from this practice, and as a safeguard against sacrilege. SIXTH ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AT CONSTANTINOPLE (680-681). Forbade the faithful to take the Sacred Host in their hand, threatening the transgressors with excommunication. Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). "Out of reverence towards this sacrament [ the Holy Eucharist ], nothing touches it, but what is consecrated; hence the corporal and the chalice are consecrated, and likewise the priest's hands, for touching this sacrament." ( Summa Theologica, Pars III, Q. 82, Art. 3, Rep. Obj. 8 ). COUNCIL OF TRENT (1545-1565). "The fact that only the priest gives Holy Communion with his consecrated hands is an Apostolic Tradition." Pope Paul VI ( 1963-1978 ). "This method [on the tongue] must be retained." (Apostolic Epistle "Memoriale Domini" ). Pope John Paul II. "To touch the sacred species and to distribute them with their own hands is a privilege of the ordained. ( Dominicae Cenae, sec. 11) "It is not permitted that the faithful should themselves pick up the consecrated bread and the sacred chalice, still less that they should hand them from one to another." ( Inaestimabile Donum, April 17, 1980, sec. 9). The Sacrifice of the Eucharist as the central act of worship of the Roman Rite Catholic Church. The "Mass" is a late form of mission (sending), from which the faithful are sent to put into practice what they have learned and use the graces they have received in the Eucharistic liturgy. The Mass cannot be understood apart from Calvary, of which it is a re-presentation, memorial, and effective application of the merits gained by ChriSaint "Now as they were eating, Jesus Christ took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body.' And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." ( Blessed Apostle Saint Matthew 26:26-28 ).

† Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Marcum † I n illo tempore : In illo tempore, María Magdaléne, et María Jacóbi, et Salóme, emérunt arómata ut veniéntes úngerent Jesum, Et valde mane una sabbatórum, vénient ad monuméntum, orto jam sole. Et dicébant ad ínvicem: Quis revólvet nobis lápidem ab óstio monuménti? Et respicéntes vidérunt revolútum lápidem. Erat quippe magnus valde. Et introéuntes in monuméntum, vidérunt júvenum sedéntem in dextris, coopértum stola cándida, et obstupérunt. Qui dixit iffis., Nolíte expavéscere: Jesus quæritis Nazarénum, crucifíxum: surréxit, non est hic; ecce locus ubi posuérunt eum. Sed ite, dícite discípulis ejus, et Petro, quia præcédit vos in Galilæam: ibi eum vidébitis, sicut dixit vobis.

† A reading from the Holy Gospel by Blessed Apostle Saint Mark † A t that time, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought sweet spices, that coming they might anoint Jesus. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen. And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And looking back, they saw the stone rolled back. For it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe, and they were astonished. Who saith to them. Be not affrighted; ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: He is risen. He is not here behold the place where they laid Him, But go, tell His disciples, and Peter, that He goeth before you into Galilee there you shall see Him, as He told you.

Homily For Easter Sunday
April 2003 Anno Domini

by Father Louis J. Campbell
"Qui legit, intelligat"
"He who readeth, let him understand"

"When Christ, your life, shall appear" ~~ Colossians 3:4

From the tomb Christ emerged visibly victorious over death and sin. The Cross had been conquered. From the darkness, the Light shone forth more radiant than ever, filling hearts and souls with a hope and a grace that transcends all understanding, especially that of a world intent on persecuting those who follow the One Whom they persecuted and could not silence. As the light grows dimmer by the year, the month, the day, the hour, the wick of Faith grows thinner and thinner; and yet a wisp of hope still flickers, casting a spark to the soul, carried on the flint of the Paschal Mystery that will, in time - as promised - reignite hearts to love and follow their Redeemer through the tenebrae of temporal temerity to the heights of heavenly peace of mind and soul.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

† "Of all the seasons of the liturgical year Eastertide is by far the richest in mystery. We might even say that Easter is the summit of the Mystery of the sacred Liturgy. The Christian who is happy enough to enter, with his whole mind and heart, into the knowledge and love of the Paschal Mystery, has reached the very center of the supernatural life" ( Dom Prosper Gueranger, The Liturgical Year ).

The Paschal Mystery is entered by means of a death - the death of Jesus Christ upon the Cross. Christ has struggled with death and has emerged victorious, as Isaias prophesied: "He shall cast death down headlong for ever. And this Lord God shall wipe away tears from every face. And the reproach of his people he shall take away from off the whole earth. For the Lord hath spoken it" ( Isaias 25:8 ).

"After the blows and the mockery," says Saint Augustine, "after the gall and the drink of vinegar, after the agony and the wounds of the cross, the new Body, returning more beautiful than before, has risen again from its grave; the latent life returning from its setting, and the salvation that was laid up for us in His death now appears" ( Saint Augustine, Sermon on the Resurrection ).

Blessed Apostle Saint Paul testifies: "But as it is, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by a man came death, by a Man also comes resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made to live. But each in his own turn. Christ as first-fruits, then they who are Christ's, who have believed, at His coming" (1 Corinthians 15:22,23).

In Romans, Blessed Apostle Saint Paul explains: "Do you not know that all we who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? For we were buried with Him by means of baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ has arisen from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we may also walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be so in the likeness of His resurrection also. For we know that our old self has been crucified with Him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed, that we may no longer be slaves of sin…" (Romans 6:3-7).

Those who have died with Christ in Baptism and have persevered in His grace understand the Paschal Mystery. They are no longer OF this world, although they are still IN this world. And because they are not of this world, they are hated by those who belong to the world, just as Christ Himself was hated by the world. "If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you," said Our Lord. During Holy Week and Easter, the world cannot hide its hatred for the Risen Christ.

The Catholic News Agency reports that on Palm Sunday Archbishop Hector Aguer of La Plata, Argentina, spoke of a wave of hatred against Jesus Christ that is sweeping over the world. This shows itself not in isolated incidents but through a series of simultaneous events that bear the marks of a conspiracy.

The archbishop mentioned several examples of attacks on Christianity: a famous rapper appears in a recent issue of Rolling Stone magazine wearing a crown of thorns; a Christmas movie shows Jesus and Santa Claus in a fist fight; obscene cartoons about Jesus Christ appear in a French newspaper; a popular brand of jeans displays a logo depicting a skull with an inverted cross, which the designer admits was intended as a protest against Christianity.

Archbishop Aguer also referred to the "infamous fables of 'The Da Vinci Code,' which will gain new strength with the upcoming release of the film," and the "Gospel of Judas," a Gnostic writing refuted by Saint Irenaeus in the year 180 AD.

The Archbishop also noted "the widespread condemnation and rejection of recently published cartoons depicting Mohammed, as well as the rapid activation of democratic mechanisms condemning discrimination and infringement upon religious freedom whenever there is the slightest attack against the Jewish community," and added that "the apathy, the leniency, the suspicious silence in response to attacks on the Christian faith stands out. It seems that Christianity, and specifically Catholicism, can be attacked with impunity." He exhorted Christians to "offer serene and cordial witness to the truth, which does not exclude when necessary a noble firmness in demanding that the sacred treasure of catholicity be respected in accord with decency, justice and the law" (catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=6469).

But we who have been united with Christ in the likeness of His death do not fear the persecutions of the world, which can never destroy our Easter joy. The Exsultet, sung at the Easter Vigil by the Deacon to the Risen Christ, represented by the Paschal Candle, is a beautiful expression of the joy that must be ours:

"Let the angelic choirs of Heaven now rejoice; let the divine mysteries be celebrated with joy; and let the trumpet of salvation resound for the victory of so great a King. Let the earth also rejoice, illumined with such resplendent rays; and enlightened with the brightness of the eternal King. Let it feel that the darkness of the whole world is dispersed…
We beseech Thee, therefore, O Lord, that this candle, consecrated in honor of Thy name, may continue to burn to dissipate the darkness of this night. And being accepted as a sweet savor, may it be mixed with the lights of Heaven. May the morning star find its flame alive; that star which knows no setting, that star which returning from hell, shone serenely upon mankind."

"Therefore, if you have risen with Christ," says St. Paul, "seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Mind the things that are above, not the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, your life, shall appear, then you too will appear with Him in glory" (Colossians 3:1-4).

( Pause - reflect )

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Vere dignum et justum est, æqum et salutáre, te quidem Dómine omni témpore, sed in hac potíssimum die, gloriósius prædicáre, cum Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus. Ipse enim verus est Agnus qui ábstulit peccáta mundi. Qui mortem nostram moriéndo destrúxit, et vitam resurgéndo reparávit. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis, cum Thronis et Dóminatiónibus, cumque omni milítia cæléstis exércitus, hymnum glóriæ tuæ cánimus sine fine dicentes : SANCTUS, SANCTUS, SANCTUS....

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God : Who didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross: that whence death came thence also life might arise again, and that he, Who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: Through Christ our Lord. Through Whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the Heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee, that Thou mayest bid our voices also be admitted while we say with lowly praise: HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
