Misa para la Dedicación del Altar
"El rito de la dedicación de una iglesia y un altar es considerado con justicia uno de los servicios litúrgicos más solemnes. Una iglesia es el lugar donde la comunidad cristiana está reunidos
para oír la palabra de Dios, para ofrecer intercesión y alabanza a él, y, sobre todo, para celebrar los santos misterios, y es el lugar donde el santo sacramento de la Eucaristía es guardado.
Por lo tanto, se presenta como un tipo especial de imagen de la misma Iglesia, que es el templo
de Dios construido a partir de piedras vivas. Y el altar de una iglesia, en torno al cual el pueblo
santo de Dios se reúnen para participar en el sacrificio del Señor y se actualicen en la comida
celestial, se erige como un signo de Cristo mismo, que es el sacerdote, víctima y altar de su
propio sacrificio "(Sagrada Congregación para los Sacramentos y el Culto Divino).
Usted está invitado a participar en la Misa solemne dedicación del altar en San Eduardo el Confesor, el sábado 14 de
Marzo a las 8:15 am. La dedicación Misa será celebrada por el obispo Vann e incluirá los ritos de unción, incensación,
que cubre, y la iluminación del altar. Además, las reliquias del ocho santos serán depositados en la base del nuevo
altar.
Es importante que veamos más allá de los signos exteriores y símbolos que utilizamos en la iglesia y en nuestras liturgias y entrar en las realidades espirituales más profundas que se comunican y hacen presente. Desde diciembre,
una guía renovación veintiocho página ha sido publicada en el sitio web de la parroquia no sólo como una guía práctica, sino también para nuestra renovación espiritual.
Invito a toda la comunidad a prepararse espiritualmente para la Misa de Dedicación al orar y meditar en la Oración
de dedicación a continuación. Nuestra preparación espiritual ahora, y antes de cada Misa, es importante porque somos los templos vivos y los altares de Dios. Oremos para que la iglesia reformada y el nuevo altar serán una fuente
de unidad y amistad, donde el pueblo de Dios pueden reunir uno para compartir el espíritu del amor recíproco (cf.
Dedicación Oración) de Dios.
Oración de dedicación
Padre,
Te alabamos y te damos gracias, porque has establecido el sacramento de la verdadera adoración al traer a la perfección en
Cristo el misterio del único y verdadero altar prefigurado en los muchos altares de edad.
Noé, el segundo padre de la raza humana, una vez que las aguas bajaron y las montañas cubiertas de nuevo, construyó un altar
en su nombre. Tú, Señor, ¿estaba apaciguado por su ofrenda fragante y su arco iris fue testigo de un pacto refundada en el amor.
Abraham, nuestro padre en la fe, aceptó de todo corazón su palabra y construyó un altar en el que matar a Isaac, su único hijo.
Pero tú, Señor, se quedó a su lado, y proveyó un carnero para la ofrenda suya.
Moisés, mediador de la antigua ley, construyó un altar en el cual estaba echado la sangre de un cordero: lo que prefigura el altar
de la cruz. Todo esto Cristo ha cumplido en el misterio pascual: como sacerdote y víctima montó libremente el árbol de la cruz
y se entregó a ti, Padre, como la oblación perfecta.
En su sacrificio se sella la nueva alianza, se engulle en su pecado sangre. Señor, por lo tanto, frente a ustedes en la oración. Bendice a este altar edificado en la casa de la Iglesia que nunca puede ser reservado para el sacrificio de Cristo, y permanece para
siempre como la Mesa del Señor, donde sus personas encontrarán alimento y fuerza.
Hacer este altar un signo de Cristo de cuyo costado traspasado fluyó sangre y agua, lo que marcó el comienzo de los sacramentos de la Iglesia. Que sea una mesa de alegría, donde los amigos de Cristo pueden apresurarse a lanzar sobre ti sus cargas y cuidados y asumir su viaje restaurado. Que sea un lugar de comunión y de paz, para que aquellos que comparten el cuerpo y la
sangre de tu Hijo y llenos de su Espíritu y crecer en su vida de amor.
Que sea una fuente de unidad y amistad, donde sus habitantes pueden reunirse como uno para compartir su espíritu de amor
mutuo. Que sea el centro de nuestra alabanza y acción de gracias, hasta llegar al tabernáculo eterno, donde, junto con Cristo,
sumo sacerdote y altar viviente, nosotros le ofrecerá un sacrificio eterno de alabanza.
Te lo pedimos por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo y el Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios, por los siglos de
los siglos.

Dedication Mass
“The rite for the dedication of a church and an altar is rightly considered among the most
solemn liturgical services. A church is the place where the Christian community is gath­
ered to hear the word of God, to offer intercession and praise to him, and above all to
celebrate the holy mysteries, and it is the place where the holy sacrament of the Eucharist
is kept. Thus it stands as a special kind of image of the Church itself, which is God’s temple built from living stones. And the altar of a church, around which the holy people of
God gather to take part in the Lord’s sacrifice and to be refreshed at the heavenly meal,
stands as a sign of Christ himself, who is the priest, the victim, and the altar of his own
sacrifice” (Sacred Congregation for the Sacraments and Divine Worship).
You are invited to participate in the solemn Dedication Mass of the Altar at St. Edward the Confessor on Saturday, March 14th
at 8:15am. The dedication Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Vann and will include the rites of anointing, incensing, covering,
and lighting of the altar. In addition, the relics of eight saints will be deposited in the base of the new altar.
It is important that we see beyond the exterior signs and symbols that we use in the church and in our liturgies and enter into
the deeper spiritual realities that they communicate and make present. Since December, a twenty-eight page renovation guide
has been published on the parish website not only as a practical guide, but also for our spiritual renewal.
I invite the entire community to spiritually prepare for the Dedication Mass by praying and meditating upon the
Prayer of Dedication below. Our spiritual preparation now, and before each Mass, is important because we are
the living temples and altars of God. Let us pray that the renovated church and the new altar will be a source of
unity and friendship, where God’s people may gather as one to share God’s spirit of mutual love (Cf. Dedication Prayer).
Prayer of Dedication
Father,
We praise you and give you thanks, for you have established the sacrament of true worship by bringing to perfection in Christ
the mystery of the one true altar prefigured in those many altars of old.
Noah, the second father of the human race, once the waters fell and the mountains peaked again, built an altar in your name.
You, Lord, were appeased by his fragrant offering and your rainbow bore witness to a covenant refounded in love.
Abraham, our father in faith, wholeheartedly accepted your word and constructed an altar on which to slay Isaac, his only son.
But you, Lord, stayed his hand and provided a ram for his offering.
Moses, mediator of the old law, built an altar on which was cast the blood of a lamb: so prefiguring the altar of the cross. All this
Christ has fulfilled in the paschal mystery: as priest and victim he freely mounted the tree of the cross and gave himself to you,
Father, as the one perfect oblation.
In his sacrifice the new covenant is sealed, in his blood sin is engulfed. Lord, we therefore stand before you in prayer. Bless this
altar built in the house of the Church that it may ever be reserved for the sacrifice of Christ, and stand for ever as the Lord's
Table, where your people will find nourishment and strength.
Make this altar a sign of Christ from whose pierced side flowed blood and water, which ushered in the sacraments of the
Church. Make it a table of joy, where the friends of Christ may hasten to cast upon you their burdens and cares and take up
their journey restored. Make it a place of communion and peace, so that those who share the body and blood of your Son may
be filled with his Spirit and grow in your life of love.
Make it a source of unity and friendship, where your people may gather as one to share your spirit of mutual love. Make it the
center of our praise and thanksgiving until we arrive at the eternal tabernacle, where, together with Christ, high priest and living
altar, we will offer you an everlasting sacrifice of praise.

Catholic Social Justice Ministry
“We must restore hope to young people, help the old, be open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor.
We need to include the excluded and preach peace.” Pope Francis
The second of the Seven Themes of Catholic Social Justices is a call to family, community, and participation: “The
person is not only sacred but also social. How we organize our society—in economics and politics, in law and
policy—directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community. … ” For more on this
and the other six principles of justice, stop by the display case in church entry gathering space to see our poster.
For your own copy of the seven themes and their descriptions, contact our ministry chair Nellie Alcalde-Wayne,
