[Redmen4ever]

Excellent homily!

I also like when the Catholics say, in consecrating the wine, “fruit of the vine and work of human hands.” A reminder that making things involves our willful interaction with God’s creation.

Six days you shall work and do all your labor and on the seventh day you shall rest. Not only is the rest commanded. So is the work.

Interestingly enough, this is not mentioned in the offertory of the Traditional Latin Mass. With this,

"The Novus Ordo alters the nature of the sacrificial offering by turning it into a type of exchange of gifts between God and man. Man brings the bread, and God turns it into "the bread of life"; man brings the wine, and God turns it into "spiritual drink"
