THE GIFT OF PEACE

We are offered another vision in todays second
reading, a vision of the New Jerusalem, coming down
out of heaven from God (Revelation 21:10). Read
between the lines describing the radiant city, and we find
that the greatest beauty revealed is the beauty of perfect
symmetry and order, a city founded on the faith of the
twelve tribes of Israel and the Twelve Apostles, lit only
by the glory of God.
The first reading and the Gospel are linked to this
idealized description of the New Jerusalem. In both we
read of distress and disturbance countered by the gift of
peace. [M]y peace I give to you, Jesus assures his
disciples at the Last Supper (John 14:27). In keeping with
that gift, the apostles and elders, in the reading from
Acts, decide not to disturb the peace of new Gentile
believers. The undue burden of circumcision will not be
imposed on them. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Pro-Life We will again have flowers available for Mothers Day, May 7th and 8th after Masses,
while they last. This years flowers will be bouquets, already made up, of mixed flowers and
will cost $10.00. They will make a lovely gift while helping Womens Care Center to give free
pregnancy tests, ultra sounds, counseling, baby food, baby clothes and much more - and will
save you a shopping trip!
Thank you for your continued support for mothers in need of help and their babies.

Our parish Boy Scout Troop #481 and our Cub Pack #3481 recently went on a trip to Blue River Wisconsin.
They set up camp and slept inside of the dark and damp, Eagle Cave. It was a fun way to enjoy the great outdoors and a good time was had by all.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

One ancient Roman custom that was approved by
the church was the veiling of the bride. When a single
woman pledged her life to Christ, in a way of life not
dissimilar to todays religious women, the outward
sign of this commitment was a veiling. In ancient
Rome, a woman with uncovered head was unmarried,
and a veiled woman was off limits to suitors. It was
one small step to decide that a bride should receive a
veil from the hands of the church as a sign of her new
state in life. The prayer that accompanied the veiling
was beautiful, and sung, a kind of consecratory
prayer that was very similar to the prayer of
ordination, or the prayers for blessing holy water or
chrism. The nuptial blessing originally mentioned
only the woman, although we know that the veil was

often extended to cover the husbands shoulders also.

The blessing was located before the kiss of peace,
which the priest gave to the husband, and the husband
to his new bride. Remember that this is in the early
centuries, long before the kiss of peace virtually
disappeared from liturgy. The veiling and blessing
was required when priests or deacons married, was
recommended to laypersons, but forbidden for certain
public sinners and second marriages. The veiling of
the couple was preserved in England until the
Reformation, and is returning to practice among
Swedish Lutherans after having fallen into disuse
about seventy-five years ago. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
ALL THE ADVANTAGES We want to give our
children what we didnt have; but lets make sure we give
them what we did have: our faith. Anonymous
