STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION: “If it does not please you to serve the Lord, decide

today whom you will serve…As for me and my

household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15

When we commit to serve the Lord, we must be

willing to become a disciple in the work of the Lord.

A disciple is a person who spends time in prayer

every day, joyfully participates in charitable works,

and generously supports their local parish and

Church mission. If we say we serve God, we must

actually do something, and not merely talk about it!

Most of us could use a little more joy, hope, and

peace in our lives. When is the last time you asked

for these spiritual gifts? – Dynamic Catholic

ASK FATHER! Have a question for Father? Liturgical, Theological,

Spiritual, Philosophical, Scriptural, or Canonical…all

are on the table. Just send him an email. Once a week,

he will pick a question to answer here in the bulletin.

This Week’s Question: I noticed you used incense at

Mass this week. Is this going to be a normal thing?

Father Says: Absolutely. Incense at Mass is quite

normal – it is abnormal to never use it. The use of

incense as part of the Church’s sacred liturgy goes back

to the very beginning. Our Jewish cousins used it

extensively in their religious rituals as well,

commanded to do so by God. See Exodus 30 and

Leviticus 16 and 1 Kings 6-7, for example.

In The Catholic Bible Dictionary, Dr. Scott

Hahn writes “Symbolically, incense represents the zeal

with which the faithful should be consumed, just as the

incense is consumed by the embers. Equally, it is a

physical symbol of the so-called good odor of Christian

virtue (hence it is said in the accounts of saints that they

died in the odor of sanctity). Finally, the burning of

incense represents the ascent of our prayers to God.

The smoke rises to the heavens just as our praises and

supplications fly upward to God.” See Psalm 141 and

Revelation 8.

Humans are created by God with senses. When

we worship the Lord our God, we should do so with

our entire being. Incense acts upon the sense of smell,

and so helps to bring the entirety of the person into the

divine worship of our Lord. Incense is especially suited

to the Masses of higher solemnity – Sundays, Holy

Days of Obligation, and Solemnities.

There are 3 things that usually cause sensitivity to

incense at Mass:

• Using cheap incense that is more wood shavings

than resins. We will not use cheap incense.

• Lighting the charcoals just before Mass begins,

causing the fumes from the igniting agent to be

present. We will light the charcoals at least 15

minutes before Mass so the igniting agent has time

to fully burn off.

• The mind - there are some folks who will start

coughing just from seeing the thurible, even when

I have no charcoal or incense in it! I cannot do

anything about that.

That said, I recognize a few people have genuine

respiratory issues and choose to avoid the incense. At

St. Paul and Christ the King, we have plenty of room

to spread out. If you are sensitive to the incense, you

might choose to sit near the back. At St. Jude

Thaddeus, we will not use incense at the Saturday

Vigil Mass to allow a choice for those sensitive to

incense.
