		<description><![CDATA[Wisdom 7:7-11;  Hebrews 4:12-13;  Mark 10:17-30 (cf. also CCC par. 2052 ff.) Having entered the flu season our bishop, along with many other leaders in the church have asked to consider a few of the ritual practices of our liturgy; specifically the issue of exchanging the sign of peace, and sharing from the common cup. Let me begin my remarks by stating clearly that it is not a sin to miss mass when you are ill.  If you are ill please stay home and take care of yourself.  This will also help to prevent from giving whatever you have to others.  This draws our attention to another important consideration.  Avoiding the flu should not be seen as a  shunning or staying away from people who are sick.  It is about protecting yourself against infection.  Listen to the medical professionals and wash your hands frequently.  Sneeze or cough into your elbow.  If you are sick be courteous by staying away from others. Here at Nativity we have had the longstanding custom of receiving communion under both forms of bread and wine.  It is important to note that for many centuries no one was allowed to receive the precious blood except the [...]]]></description>

Pope John XXIII decided to convene the Second Vatican Council on October 11, 1962, the feast of the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. John XXIII was attuned to the symbolic connections made through feast days. A key motivation for calling the ecumenical council was John&#8217;s overwhelming desire to extend &#8220;an invitation to the faithful of the separated communities to participate with us in this quest for unity and grace?&#8221; Beginning the council on this feast day expressed John&#8217;s desire to connect with the Orthodox Church, one of the &#8220;separated communities,&#8221; for whom the feast was especially significant. The readings for the Mass of the Holy Spirit celebrating the opening of the council were chanted in both Latin and Greek, signifying the unity of both East and West. As Mass ended, Pope John XXIII delivered the most significant speech of his life. He began with the Latin words &#8220;Gaudet Mater Ecclesia,&#8221; &#8220;Mother Church rejoices,&#8221; and continued in a tone of joyful hopefulness.
