Last La Monday, I stepped out of my parents' farmhouse after having coffee with mom and dad. I'll farm fa rmho often ofte of ten bring in a tame pigeon and put it in mom's hands. hand ha nds. nd s. Sh Shee delights deli de ligh li ghts gh ts iin this like a child, and she'll talk to the bird as she feeds it bread. As I left the house and walked across the yard Monday morning, a large shadow on the ground made me look up. An enormous vulture passed low overhead. The next moment, 30 of my pigeons flew directly at me. It's a wonder none of them collided with me. While I have my pigeon loft secure from most predators, the birds know their worst threat is a hawk. I watched a hawk take one of my birds in mid-flight last year. I realized they saw the vulture and mistook it for a threat. But I was amazed that they flew to me, made a fast loop, and then flew back to me again. Perhaps they meant to point out to the vulture that I was a bigger meal than a small pigeon would offer. But instead I like to think they flew to me for protection. My brother swears they act differently when they see my truck in the yard on Sunday afternoons. I once had a pigeon that would recognize my truck from a distance and fly in through the open passenger window to look for a handout from me. The first bird I tamed, when I was in junior high, surprised me one morning. More than a mile from home as I rode my bike to school, the pigeon caught up to me, landed on my shoulder, and stayed there for the rest of my ride to school. On this Fourth Sunday of Easter, we always hear a gospel reading about Jesus, the Good Shepherd. Go to him when you want to be fed. Fly to him when you want his company. Flock to him when you feel any sort of threat. We all know these experiences--hunger, loneliness, danger. The problem with us grown-ups is that we too often think we need to secure ourselves, provide for ourselves, feed ourselves. Jesus wants us to be like children, innocent as doves, flying to him with great trust that he will feed us, protect us, and lead us to greener pastures.
Yours, Fr. Berns
PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS Good and gracious God, You call each person by name and invite them to follow you. On this World Day of Prayer for Vocations, may each person hear and respond to the call they have received. We pray for all discerning marriage, the chaste single life, consecrated life, or ordained ministries, that your Holy Spirit would guide, inspire, and strengthen them. May your Church and the world be enriched by the "yes" of your children. Amen.

WELCOME TO OUR LADY OF PEACE PARISH
PARISH NEWS The Mass Explained By Seminarian Arturo Vigueras I continue with the series of bulletin articles on understanding the meaning of the Mass. In the last article, I concluded with the first part of the Mass known as the Liturgy of the Word. This week I will focus on the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The Liturgy of the Eucharist is like having a formal meal in the home of a friend; for example, whenever I go to one of my friend’s homes we set the table, say grace, and share food (we eat and drink). At Mass, these types of ritual actions are called: Preparation of the Gifts, the Eucharistic Prayer and the Communion Rite. The early description of the Preparation of the Gifts comes from the Acts of the Apostles. The evangelist Luke tells in the early community of believers, “There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need” (Acts 4:34-35). This practice continues to take place today, at a practical level. The beginning of the Liturgy of the Eucharist begins with the choir singing the preparation hymn and the altar servers begin to prepare the altar. While this is taking place, the ushers begin to take the collection. In today’s culture, money has come to symbolize what really matters to us; so this means that giving in the collection is a symbolic way of making a sacrifice for the Lord and a way of giving praise and honor to the Lord. This action of giving money to the church during the collection also proclaims that our faith is ultimately in God, and not in our material wealth. All of these physical actions that take place during the preparation of the altar also represent a deeper spiritual reality. At the beginning of the Eucharist, we begin to spiritually prepare ourselves by presenting to the Lord all our needs, sorrows, joys, desires and everything else that we face in our daily lives. During this time, all of us give ourselves to the Lord who gave up his only begotten son so that you and I can have a personal relationship with God. In the early church, people would bring bread and wine from their

homes and present it to the priest during the Mass. Nowadays, the bread and wine are taken to the front of the altar by a group of parishioners usually selected by the ushers to represent the entire community of believers. At a spiritual level, it helps to put on our spiritual glasses and think of all our guardian angels walking down the main aisle of the church along with the parishioners bringing the bread and wine, bringing all our needs to the altar of the LORD. During the preparation of the altar, all the heavenly angels, saints and our loved ones who have died, gather around the altar to witness the great miracle that will be done by the priest of turning ordinary gifts of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Once the priest receives the gifts of bread and wine (along with the collection basket which is put at the foot of the altar table), he mixes the water with the wine and places the bread on one side of the altar. The priest elevates the plate (Patten) with the bread by saying, “Blessed are you, Lord of all creation for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you: fruit of the earth and work of human hands it will become for us the bread of life.” The priest then places the Patten (plate) with the bread on the center of the altar. The Priest then does the same thing with the wine and says, “Blessed are you, God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the wine we offer you: fruit of the vine and work of human hands, it will become our spiritual drink.” Then the priest places the chalice (cup) on the center of the altar as the people respond, “Blessed be God for ever.” Sometimes though, if the hymn is too long, the priest will say these two invocations inaudibly as the people are still singing the preparation hymn. Finally, he invites us to pray that this sacrifice be acceptable to God. We respond “Amen”. Shortly after, all of us stand to participate in the central prayer of the Mass. These ritual actions help us to remember that God takes simple ordinary things such as bread and wine and transforms them into the body and blood of His Beloved Son Jesus Christ. This also applies to all of us, God is always calling us to transform ourselves despite all of our shortcomings and faults so we can live up to the dignity of being beloved sons and daughters of God. Next week, I will explore the beginning of the Eucharistic Prayer and attempt to discuss further the great mystery by which Christ becomes present in the simple elements of bread and wine.
