Today we celebrate the protective prayers of our parish patron, Saint Liborius. The hallmark of our day is the Eucharistic procession around the parish grounds, stopping at stations to pray and concluding with prayers of benediction in the church. Something that distinguishes us a Catholic is our manner of praying. We pray with our whole being, our heart, our soul, our mind, and our body. The body prayer is what sets us apart from other Christians in general. We genuflect, we kneel, we fold our hands, we bow our heads, and we physically participate in devotional movements such as our procession. Why? Because as humans we need frequent reminders of the “invisible” and the transcendent, that which is unseen and is greater and higher than ourselves. In the previous decades many of these practices have been abandoned and predictably so has our personal and corporate “memory” of God. But the Lord always has ways of bringing his people back around. Seeing the moral decay that is happening on a scale unimaginable just a few years ago, the bitter fruit is bringing with it a spiritual craving for that which is holy and pure, greater than ourselves. I hope this was your experience this Sunday. Yours in Christ our Lord, Fr. Sid.
