pastoral vocation Quebec

For one last time, I will make a pastoral meeting in Quebec City. My studies are completed, it is true. But it's always good to make continuing education sessions. This time, it will be the accompaniment of the dying. I then meet with Father Gilles Nadeau, who is chaplain of a center for terminally ill patients (many years). Over the years I have had the joy of following a few sessions (at the seminary and in parishes) in the area of assisting the sick, but I have no experience with the dying. I hope that this session will give me new tracks pastoral practices. I'll be like auditor, as my master's degree in pastoral care is completed.

Many seminarians who will follow this session. Each year, intensive sessions (35 hours a week) are offered to seminarians from our two major conferences in Quebec (Quebec and Montreal). Some of my fellow seminarians will have the chance to follow the following week (in Montreal) a session on "Managing Growth parish. Four years ago, I had the chance to follow this session presented by Mr Pierre-Alain Giffard. I must say it has marked the way I see the Church. She gave me a boost missionary. It opened my eyes to the means used to reach people who do not know where we left the church. She also opened up about what we can bring the Protestant churches in this growth momentum. I had some insights that joined the remarks presented by the teacher. It was good to see them take root, to see that it is possible to hope. Mr. Gifford is in her post-doctorate in the field. This session (I repeat), through its leader, gives us impulses missionaries filled the Holy Spirit. My colleague Julian, deacon ordained a few months ago, will be those who will follow this session. The Church has much won to hear that this is not the end and try to implement the statements made during this course. Yes, as Mr. Gifford, God wants a church alive. Then we must pray the Holy Spirit encvoyer us holy priests, holy (es) laity. We must also look at how the cells of evangelization can help us see and generate growth. It is time to speak only decay parishes, closing churches ... You have to take and start listening to the Lord through our prayers and our actions. The situation of the Church in Quebec is not the whole world. Other churches have experienced crises and revived. One of the authors under review is the famous Rick Warren. I stop here. I want a nice session with my colleagues.

Another session that many will follow next week is the Chair of Assembly. How to chair the Eucharist. Although we live every day, it is another to preside. My fellow deacon will follow this session. I have already done this session, two years ago. For my part, I'll be with my parishioners this week. Then it's time to retire pre-deacon (from May 14 to 19) in a monastery. Yes, May 19, it will be the great day of my ordination. Bishop Lionel Gendron will preside over this large celebration. One of the texts that we offer the liturgy of this day will be sent Silas (Silvanus equivalent) to serve in assisting Seigenur Paul (AC15, 22-31). Yes, this is an appropriate text for my ordination, when I am ordered to proclaim and to assist bishops and priests in their duties. I must say that I did not choose this text. Providence was responsible for giving me that little wink. This is the text provided by the Church unverselle and will be proclaimed in all Catholic churches in the world.

I hear about it this week, live from Quebec. However, I can do summary of this session since it is also of casuistry which must respect the confidentiality of those involved.

Following the Path of the Crucified One, the Way of the Risen

Throughout Lent, we prayed and meditated on the Stations of the Cross (the path of the Crucified). Did you know that the Easter season, we can ponder the Way of Light (the path of the Risen). This morning we talked about this in small groups. It is true that this popular devotion is little known. We consider the offer shortly to our paroisssiens.

Christ is the center of life in the world. The paschal mystery is the center of Christ's life. It is structured in two phases of death-resurrection. Mediation popular first act is the way of the cross. After Vatican II, we rediscover the need for mediation popular second aspect: Via lucis. Today more than ever, the people must feel as theirs this route. Easter should not be just a festival calendar, but a lifestyle.

Via lucis is as symmetrical Way of the Cross: Fourteen stations, a related Biblical passage, which leaves the empty tomb, the first sign of Easter, Pentecost, its primordial core. And as the Way of the Cross has been carefully planned with the assistance of Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows with filsbien beloved, as along the Via lucis the mother of Jesus continues to stay with us, she's blessed with the resurrected son. Already the Church has for centuries made the antiphon "Regina Coeli Laetare alleluia" and since some time has written texts of the Eucharistic celebration in honor of Mary, blessed in the resurrection. " On the other hand, the venerable tradition of the Rosary of Mary provides the third part on the glorious mysteries. They are not themselves digest the Via lucis, which also includes the natural development leading from Easter Son to those children? The Virgin of Easter guide us along the fourteen stations of the Via lucis, which opens third millénaire.Et seeking to get daily hope.

To see and pray the 14 stations of the Way of Light "

funeral in Church ...

" For those who believe in you, Lord, life is not destroyed, it is transformed "(Preface of the dead )

past few weeks, the Diocese of Montreal (in collaboration with the Cemetery "Resting St. Francis of Assisi ) has developed a fact sheet about the celebration of the funeral. In delivering the leaflet Parish (Our Life newspaper Community are involved) I let one slip to each of 12,500 doors that make up our pastoral unit. Since last September, I made each of these residences. Since February, I will be restarted a second tour.

If I decided to do home delivery, it is my experience that many people of our parishes have not registered a funeral in the Church in their wills. However, it seems to me that this leaflet may help us better understand the reasons that would cause us to want to live in the Church. Why? Let me give you the contents:

celebrations funerals
Church is a large family on the death of one of its members, it is to pray for him and to support and assist people affected by bereavement.

Christian faith affirms that death is not the end of everything. The celebration of the funeral celebrates the resurrection of Christ is a passage from death to life. She just say to all the baptized to his suite, they are called to live a new life in God. This inspires hope the prayers surrounding the death of a loved one.

The usual place for the celebration of the church where the funeral is traditionally congregate believers and believers. At his baptism, the deceased was welcomed.

Celebrating the experience of church ...
* To accommodate family members, relatives, friends (es), and members of the community and share all the hope in the resurrection;
* To pray for the deceased and his family;
* To hear the Word of God and may celebrate the Eucharist (Mass);

* Prayers of praise, thanksgiving and demand;
* rites of farewell.
(There is no Mass celebrated at the funeral home. This celebration may be presided over by priests, deacons or lay people appointed by their parish.)

Celebration in the presence of the body or ashes?
"As the tomb was nearby, and there they laid Jesus" (Jn 19.42)

In remembrance of Jesus who was put in tomb, the Church recommends that preserved the custom of burying the body of the deceased.

The preferred form in the Church is the celebration of funerals at the church in the presence of the body. It is also possible to hold the funeral in the presence of ash.

Disposal of the corpse and ash
"What could be the place of my rest?" (Is 66.1)

At each stage of his life of faith, the believer is allowed in a particular place. In the baptistery at the beginning of his Christian life in the church Throughout his life, in the cemetery at the end of his earthly life. For the Church, the place for the burial of the body or ashes to the cemetery is. The remains may be deposited in a mausoleum and the ashes in a columbarium.

Because of respect paid to the body, the practice of keeping the ashes of the deceased at home, putting them in the home garden, to disperse into the fields, woods or from the air or immerse, be avoided.

Services on the occasion of a death:
* At church: meet people bereaved preparation of the celebration, bereavement, funerals or Eucharist with Liturgy of the Word, Mass Memorial. *
Funeral Home: Prayers with relatives, the farewell celebration.
* At the cemetery, mausoleum or colombarim: a final prayer.
