PASTOR’S PERSPECTIVE Dear Parishioners: I am one of the few people who remain in

movie theaters until the last line of credits and acknowledgements has been shown. I like to know who plays what role, who composes or performs what music, and who contributes to what part of the movie. I feel like I have not seen the whole movie if I leave the theater without this information.

Similarly, when I attend Mass, I like to remain in church until the last word of the recessional hymn is sung. If I ever have to leave the Mass before the Concluding Rite, my conscience would not be at peace. It would feel like I have not participated in the whole Mass. Unfortunately, some people do not feel this way about the Mass.

While the ending credits of a movie are insignificant, the Concluding Rite of the Mass is so important that the whole Mass is named after it. The word “Mass” (Missa) actually comes from the Latin word for “dismissal” (missio). (Can you see the Missa in the dismissal?) The Mass is in fact named after the action that completes it – namely, the dismissal of the assembly.

So, when the priest says “The Mass is ended,” we don’t say “Thanks be to God” because the Mass is finally over, or because we have done our obligation and are now free to leave. Instead, we thank God because we have now been sent to put the Good News into good actions in our daily life. We are not dismissed from the Mass. We are dismissed to the world. We are to go “in peace,” with the confidence that Christ remains with us “until the end of the age” (Mt 28:20). And we are sent “to love and serve the Lord and one another.”

As we celebrate World Mission Sunday this weekend, let us re-dedicate ourselves to the fulfillment of our God-given mission, starting with a full, conscious, and active participation in the Concluding Rite of each Mass, so that we may be “burning with faith, hope, and charity” as we

leave the church “to love and serve the Lord and one another.”

Fr. Vincentius Do, Pastor

ALL SOULS’ DAY As is our custom, we remind everyone to

offer Masses for their deceased family members and friends. Envelopes for All Souls’ Day are now available in church. Please list all the souls you would like to pray for on your envelope. We will keep these names on the high altar, next to the tabernacle, to be prayed for throughout the month of November.

神父的话 主爱的兄弟姐妹：

我是极少数的人之一，会在电影院一直等到最

后的演员表及工作人员名单都演完才离开。我想

要知道谁演了哪个角色，谁编写或演唱的主题曲，

还有谁在这部电影中做了什么贡献。如果没有看

这些信息就离开电影院，我会觉得没有看完这部

电影。

同样的，当我参加弥撒的时候，我喜欢唱完礼

成曲的最后一个字才离开教堂。如果我在礼成式

之前离开，我的良心就感到不安，感觉就像没有参

加整台弥撒一样。遗憾的是，一些人对于弥撒没有

这样的感觉。

一部电影结束的演员表及名单是无足轻重的，

可是弥撒的礼成式却是很重要的，因为整台弥撒

是以这部分来命名的。弥撒的拉丁文（Missa）实

际上是从“遣散”（dismissal）而来的。（你可

以看出 dismissal 里面含有的 Missa 吗?)弥撒

的名称是以使它完整的动作来命名的—也就是：

遣散集会。

所以，当神父说“弥撒礼成”的时候，我们回

答“感谢天主”，不是因为弥撒终于结束了，或者

因为我们完成了我们的责任，现在可以自由离开

了。我们感谢天主，实在是因为我们现在被派遣，

把这个“好消息”以“好的行为”在生活中活出

来。我们不是从弥撒被遣散，而是被派遣进入世

界。我们“平安”地前往，坚信基督和我们在一起

“直到今世的终结”（玛 28:20），而我们被派遣

“去爱与服务天主及他人”。

这个周末，我们庆祝世界传教节，让我们重新

献身于天主给予我们的使命，从完全、有意识和积

极参与每台弥撒的礼成部分做起，这样我们可以

被信、望、爱三德所催迫，“去爱与服务天主及他

人”。

本堂司铎：杜万桑神父
