Pure hokum.
Hey: Babies are creation, and immortal, innocent, and growing. Babies are us, the best of creation and our Constitutional Posterity, our future. You know, who comes after today and us.
if you’re not recycling – that’s a grave sin.. fornication, adultery, sodomy? not so much…
most “recycled” plastics end up being Burnt in fiery ovens for steam power electric generation as their not fit to be made into something else.. there’s something to ponder-
Seems to me that it indicates a complete lack of faith in the Divine Engineer. One thing you see throughout creation is finely and divinely engineered balance. People throughout the world are now committing economic suicide because of a naturally occurring gas that is converted into oxygen by the plants He created. All of this over an autistic 13 year old girl and those that have been screaming gloom and doom of various kinds for decades. We’re all going to die because of global cooling global warming global overpopulation global underpopulation. I would say make up your minds but I’m not sure they have any.
While everyone gripes about this, I think the prayers are actually good.
Collect:
Father,
who in Christ, the firstborn of all creation,
have called all things into existence,
grant, we beseech you, that, docile to the breath of your Spirit of life, we may guard the works of your hands in charity.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen.
Prayer over the Gifts:
Receive, Father,
these fruits of the earth and of our hands:
perfect in them the work of your creation
so that, transformed by the Holy Spirit,
they may become for us food and drink of eternal life.
Through Christ our Lord.
Prayer after Communion:
May the sacrament of unity we have received, O Father, increase communion with you and with our brothers and sisters, so that, while we await the new heavens and the new earth, we may learn to live in harmony with all creatures. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
If Rush Limbaugh were still alive and doing his radio show, this would be a perfect “Environmentalist Wacko Update” segment.
Gen 2: 15 take care of the garden
Is 45: 18 I created the world, not as a waste but as something to be lived in.
I am not sure if I would have brainstormed to create this new Mass setting. However, St. Anthony of the Desert and St Francis of Assisi, and many family ranchers and farmers I know would be pleased to take care of the earth.
Matthew:
“While everyone gripes about this, I think the prayers are actually good.”
“Collect:
Father:,
who in Christ, the firstborn of all creation,”
Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father is infinite, while being conceived of the Holy Spirit, while being born, while ascending into heaven, Jesus Christ is infinite…infinite. Jesus Christ is not the “firstborn of all creation” heresy…heresy…and more heresy because the Holy Spirit is not adored, not loved nor given credence by this unholy bunch.
Prayer over the gifts:
Receive, Father,
these fruits of the earth and of our hands:
perfect in them the work of your creation
so that, transformed by the Holy Spirit,
they may become for us food and drink of eternal life.
Through Christ our Lord.”
“transformed” but not transubstantiated? “food and drink of eternal life” Man is created immortal, that would be eternal life in heaven or hell.
The Sacred Species is Jesus Christ’s Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. “Soul and Divinity” People cannot become infinite but People can become divine, like Jesus Christ. Why aren’t these individuals saying the Truth?
The devil has them by their private parts.
