A modern parish church in Singapore features two tables facing the congregation: the table of the word, where the presiding priest reads the Gospel and in his homily breaks the bread of the Scriptures, and the table where the Eucharist is celebrated. Placed at the center of the sanctuary in that Singapore church, these two tables indicate two key functions of priests as preachers and teachers and as leaders in worship.

Blessing New Crucifix
|
Nearly 500 years ago, Martin Luther offered a captivating image of what it means to live as a Christian day to day. He called it “living wet.”
Luther was thinking of baptism, the beginning of Christian life in which we have been plunged into the mystery of Jesus’ dying and rising. We come drenched from the font and are called to live the rest of our lives wet, daily living out the reality of baptism.
The experience of being wet as we live our baptism can leave us feeling refreshed or frigid. It can make walking easy or treacherous, depending on the terrain. So much depends on where we are, who we are with and how conscious we are of Christ’s presence and action in our lives and in others’ lives.
How can we cultivate the sense of living wet, conscious of what our baptismal vocation asks of us in our daily lives and loves? |

The La Salette mission in the Philippines began in 1948 in the Diocese of Ilagan. The major thrust of trhose first Missionaries was evangelization. From the very beginning, both the Bishop and the local people asked them to make the apostolate of education one of their priorities. The government assured a fairly wide range of elementary schools throughout the country. What was lacking for a large majority of children, except those who lived in and neat large cities, was high school education.
