Just a reminder that this coming Sunday, December 21st 4th Sunday of Advent. We will be greening the church following the 11:00 am Holy Communion. Grab a bite to eat at coffee hour and then join the Altar Guild in the greening.

The genuflection we do in Church comes from Medieval European Knights, whose sword hung to their left.

When you kneel down on your right knee, you actually put your left thigh in the way of your sword. So you render yourself incapable of drawing your sword. It shows the Sovereign trust and vulnerability.

So when you genuflect, it’s a beautiful moment of total vulnerability and complete openness to the Lord, who is the King of All Kings. 🙏🤯

THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD SILENCE IN THE ENTIRE MASS😳🤔
_________________
There is a moment at Mass that many people rush past.
The choir may still be singing.
Some people are already thinking about going home.
Others are checking the time.
But spiritually, this is one of the deepest moments of the entire Mass.
It is the silence after Communion.
And it is often misunderstood.
✝️ THIS SILENCE IS NOT EMPTY
After Communion, the Church does something very deliberate.
She becomes quiet.
Not because nothing is happening,
but because **everything has already happened.
At this moment:
- Christ has entered your body
- Heaven has touched your soul
- The Sacrifice has been received personally
Words are no longer enough.
✝️ WHY THE CHURCH DOES NOT RUSH THIS MOMENT
Before Communion, we pray, speak, sing, and respond.
After Communion, the Church steps back.
Why?
Because God is now closer to you than your own breath.
This is not the time for many words.
This is the time for presence.
Just like lovers sit quietly together,
just like a child rests silently in a parent’s arms,
the soul now rests in Christ.
✝️ WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN THAT SILENCE
In that quiet moment:
- Grace is settling into the soul
- Healing is taking place
- Strength is being poured invisibly
- Christ is communing with you from within
This is not symbolic.
You have received the Living God.
The Church knows this is too sacred to disturb.
✝️ WHY MANY PEOPLE MISS IT
We live in a noisy world.
Silence feels uncomfortable.
Stillness feels strange.
So people fill the moment with thoughts, movement, distractions.
But the Church is inviting something deeper:
“Stay. Listen. Let Me love you.”
✝️ THIS SILENCE IS YOUR PERSONAL HOLY GROUND
The altar is holy.
But after Communion, you are the altar.
Christ dwells in you.
That silence is not for boredom.
It is for intimacy.
It is the moment when Heaven whispers instead of speaks.
✝️ SO,
Do not rush the silence after Communion.
Do not break it too quickly.
Remain.
Breathe.
Adore.
Because in that stillness,
the God you have received
is finishing His work in your soul.
And silence…
is the only response worthy of that mystery.
