We had only 35 or so in our large parish church on Sunday morning at the 8:00 a.m. Mass. I don’t remember a thing from the very nice Indian Priest’s homily except that he did it in a question-and-answer format as he always does. I try to ignore the questions because I don’t like the practice and usually can think of several correct answers, only one of which does he want. I wonder if I should tell him that encouraging me to shout things at him during Mass may not be the best idea. For example, I might shout out, “Is the ‘dewfall’ Eucharistic Prayer the only one you know?!”

Wow, I never knew this. I can remember Monsignor asking the 1st communicants back in 1964 when I made my 1st Holy Communion questions. Perhaps in a case like that it was allowed, as he needed to see if the children were adequately prepared.
Our priest talked about the manger scene. He related the infant Jesus in the manger to the Bread of Life on the alter. He pointed to the statues of Joseph and Mary in the church surrounding the alter and the Nativity scene with the same around the manger and related the two.
I had never equated the sacrifice of the Mass to the Birth of Christ but he did a really good job of showing the parallels between the two.
When Jesus was born he was placed in a device used for feeding. Now he is placed on the alter for all of us to consume. Mary and Joseph adored Him there as we adore him on the alter.
Of course our priest was more eloquent but that is a synopsis.
