NAB 27th Psalm:
One thing I ask of the LORD, this I seek:
To dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD, and contemplate his temple...
 |
A Homily of St. John Chrysostom-- "To begin on this path (of prayer), start by adorning your house with modesty and humility. Make it shine brightly with the light of justice. Decorate it with the gold leaf of good works, with the jewels of faithfulness and greatness of heart. Finally, to make the house perfect, raise a gable above it all, a gable of prayer. Thus you will have prepared a pure and sparkling house for the Lord. Receive the Lord into this royal and splendid dwelling — in other words: receive, by his grace, his image into the temple of your soul." |
Volunteers help set up props, work with plants and cut flowers, water and care for the plants on display and tend the flower and plant garden in back of the Church. During the Season of Ordinary Time, duties may be minimal but the Easter and Christmas Seasons require extra time and effort to balance the various materials available within Liturgical guidelines.
Meetings times depend on the season so a dependable contact number is needed to maintain communication. Helping hands will not be refused, no matter what color the thumbs. Seasonal help is also considered if an ongoing time commitment is not possible and, if you find that you cannot volunteer yourself, perhaps some of your flowers, bulbs or fruiting branches will be happy to fill in for you.
