Bible Study: ‘With Our Lady in Spiritual Battle’ with Fr. Jeffrey Kirby

Father Jeffrey Kirby is the pastor of Our Lady of Grace Church in Indian Land, S.C. He holds a doctorate in moral theology from Holy Cross University in Rome and a Master of Arts in philosophy from the Franciscan University of Steubenville. Father Kirby serves as an adjunct professor of theology at Belmont Abbey College and Pontifex University. He has written several books, including Lord, Teach Us to Pray and Kingdom of Happiness: Living the Beatitudes in Everyday Life.

In 2016, Father Kirby was recognized by Gov. Nikki Haley with the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian honor, for his service to local communities and young adults throughout the state.

Working with St. Benedict Press and Catholic Scripture Study International, he was the KIRBY host of the award-winning program Doors of Mercy and was an instructor for the program Luke: The Gospel of Mercy. He is the weekly spirituality contributor for the news site Crux: Taking the Catholic Pulse, as well as the author of a bi-monthly Q-and-A column carried by The Catholic Miscellany, the newspaper of the Diocese of Charleston.

Father Kirby seeks to live and exercise his priestly ministry in such a way as to exemplify the positive role religion can play in society, as well as to highlight the mutual service that both Church and State can render to one another.

In this effort, he works to apply and teach the spiritual patrimony of the Church and the overall contribution of the human spirit to the human narrative. Visit Father Kirby’s website at www.frkirby.com or follow him on Twitter (@fatherkirby).

Eucharistic Procession and Adoration 9:15 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 9 The Eucharistic Congress presents plenty of opportunities for the faithful to come and spend time with Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Eucharistic Adoration is a focal point for the Congress, as the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith. Adoration offers a source of inspiration and peace for the thousands of Catholics who attend the annual two-day event.

Adoration will begin at 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8, starting with a procession from Hall B of the Charlotte Convention Center up to St. Peter Church, 507 S. Tryon St. Participants are welcome to carry electric candles. Adoration will then be held overnight at St. Peter Church from 9:30 p.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday.

Starting at 9:15 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 9, the faithful of the Diocese of Charlotte are invited to join in the Eucharistic Procession through uptown Charlotte to the Charlotte Convention Center, where the Eucharistic Congress will be held. Line up along the procession route as noted above and join in with your parish once its banner passes.

The Eucharistic Procession will culminate inside Hall A of the convention center, where a Holy Hour will be celebrated starting at 10:15 a.m. Saturday.

Following the Holy Hour, silent Eucharistic Adoration will be held in the Chapel in Hall B, adjacent to the Confession Area. Members of the Knights of Columbus will stand at the entrance to the Chapel, where everyone is invited to come in, kneel and pray for as long as they like. Adoration will conclude at 4 p.m., and the celebration of Holy Mass will begin at 4:15 p.m. with Bishop Peter J. Jugis as the main celebrant.

‘Auspice Mariӕ’ This year’s Eucharistic Congress prayer card features a popular and ancient monogram for Mary. The intertwined letters A and M are an abbreviation for “Auspice Mariæ,” Latin for “Under the protection of Mary.” It is sometimes incorrectly referred to or used as a stand-in for the salutation “Ave Maria” (“Hail Mary”).

Dr. Enzler is passionate in his love for Christ and His Church and can frequently be found sharing vignettes from his many personal encounters with the Holy Father during his time as a Swiss Guard.

St. John Paul II’s personal greatness, sanctity and deep devotion to Our Lady continue to inspire Dr. Enzler in his professional journey as well as in his efforts to form people of all faith backgrounds according to Truth, Beauty and Goodness and to lead them to the pursuit of Wisdom. When he is not in his office or with the students in a classroom teaching music or ancient Greek, he can often be found speaking at retreats and conferences where he shares about the role the Holy Father had in fostering his commitment to the New Evangelization and his love for the liturgy and helping shape him into a being a better man, executive and leader.

A plenary, or full, indulgence is offered to those who attend the Eucharistic Congress, go to confession, receive Holy Communion and offer prayers for the Holy Father within one week of the Congress.

“An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven,” according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1471).

A Nursing Mothers Room will be located in Suite 106, located on Concourse C (near the Youth Track Registration Check-in).

Interpretation for the Deaf Once again this year the Eucharistic Congress will offer interpreting for the deaf in Hall A.

Holy Mass Hall A – 4:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9 Entrance hymns I “Alleluia! sing to Jesus!”

Alleluia! sing to Jesus! His the scepter, His the throne.

Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone.

Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood.

Jesus out of every nation has redeemed us by His blood.

Alleluia! bread of angels, Thou on earth our food, our stay; Alleluia! here the sinful flee to Thee from day to day: Intercessor, Friend of sinners, Earth’s Redeemer, plead for me, Where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.

Alleluia! not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes, nor questions how; Though the cloud from sight received Him when the forty days were o’er Shall our hearts forget His promise, “I am with you evermore”?

Alleluia! King eternal, Thee the Lord of lords we own; Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth Thy footstool, Heav’n Thy throne: Thou within the veil hast entered, robed in flesh our great High Priest; Thou on earth both priest and victim in the Eucharistic feast.

II “Bendito, Bendito” Refrain: Bendito, bendito, bendito sea Dios, los ángeles cantan y alaban a Dios. los ángeles cantan y alaban a Dios.

A tus plantas llego confuso de dolor, de todas mis culpas imploro tu perdón. de todas mis culpas imploro tu perdón. (Refrain)

Jesús de mi alma, te doy mi corazón, y en cambio te pido me des tu bendición. y en cambio te pido me des tu bendición. (Refrain)

Yo creo, Dios mío, que estás en el altar, oculto en la Hostia te vengo a adorar. oculto en la Hostia te vengo a adorar. (Refrain)

Adoro en la hostia el Cuerpo de Jesús, su sangre preciosa que dio por mí en la cruz. su sangre preciosa que dio por mí en la cruz. (Refrain)

Oh cielo y tierra, decid a una voz, bendito por siempre, bendito sea Dios. bendito por siempre, bendito sea Dios. (Refrain)

III “O God Beyond All Praising” O God beyond all praising, we worship you today and sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay; for we can only wonder at every gift you send, at blessings without number and mercies without end: we lift our hearts before you and wait upon your word, we honor and adore you, our great and mighty Lord.

Then hear, O gracious Saviour, Accept the love we bring, That we who know your favour May serve you as our King; And whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill, We’ll triumph through our sorrows And rise to bless you still: To marvel at your beauty And glory in your ways, And make a joyful duty Our sacrifice of praise.

The flow’r of earthly splendor in time must surely die, Its fragile bloom surrender to you, the Lord most high; But hidden from all nature the eternal seed is sown Though small in mortal stature, to Heaven’s garden grown: For Christ the Man from Heaven from death has set us free, And we through him are given the final victory.

Introit: The Lord opened the doors of heaven, and rained down manna for them to eat,

He gave them bread from heaven and man ate the bread of angels. Alleluia.

First Reading A reading from the Book of Deuteronomy (Dt 8:2-3, 14b-16a) Moses said to the people: “Remember how for forty years now the LORD, your God, has directed all your journeying in the desert, so as to test you by affliction and find out whether or not it was your intention to keep his commandments. He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger, and then fed you with manna, a food unknown to you and your fathers, in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD. “Do not forget the LORD, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery; who guided you through the vast and terrible desert with its saraph serpents and scorpions, its parched and waterless ground; who brought forth water for you from the flinty rock and fed you in the desert with manna, a food unknown to your fathers.”

The word of the Lord.

R: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm (Ps 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20) R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

Glorify the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion.

For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; he has blessed your children within you.

R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

He has granted peace in your He has proclaimed his word to borders; Jacob, with the best of wheat he fills you. his statutes and his ordinances to He sends forth his command to Israel. the earth; He has not done thus for any swiftly runs his word! other nation; his ordinances he has not made R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem. known to them. Alleluia.

R. Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.

Second Reading A reading from the First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor 10:16-17) Brothers and sisters: The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because the loaf of bread is one, we, though many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf.

The word of the Lord.

R: Thanks be to God. R: Alleluia.

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven, says the Lord; whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

Gospel Reading A reading from the holy Gospel according to John (Jn 6:51-58) Jesus said to the Jewish crowds: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”

The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

R: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

11

Offertory Antiphon: This is my body which is given up for you, this is the cup of the new covenant in my blood, says the Lord. Each time that you partake thereof, do it in memory of me.

Offertory hymn: “Jesus, My Lord, My God, My All” Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all!

How can I love Thee as I ought?

And how revere this wondrous gift, So far surpassing hope or thought?

Had I but Mary’s sinless heart With which to love Thee, dearest King, Oh, with what ever fervent praise, Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing! (Refrain)

Refrain: Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore!

Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

Thy Body, Soul and Godhead, all!

O mystery of love divine!

I cannot compass all I have, For all Thou hast and art is mine! (Refrain)

Offertory Motet: “Magnificat Anima Mea Dominum” (Francesco Durante)

Sanctus

Memorial Acclamation

Agnus Dei

Communion Antiphon: He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, abides in me and I in him, says the Lord.

Communion Motets: “Tantem Ergo Sacramentum” (Johann Melchior Dreyer) and “How Dazzling Fair” (Charles Wood)

Communion hymns I “Porque Nos Invitas” Porque nos invitas, venimos a tu altar, oímos tu palabra, comemos de tu pan; oímos tu palabra, comemos de tu pan.

Tu palabra es vida y es luz del corazón, tu pan es sacramento del más sublime amor; tu pan es sacramento del más sublime amor.

Hijos de la Iglesia, fraterna comunión, tu muerte celebramos, y tu resurrección; tu muerte celebramos, y tu resurrección.

El altar es mesa y Calvario redentor.

Te ofreces a ti mismo por nuestra salvación.

Te ofreces a ti mismo por nuestra salvación.

II “O Jesus We Adore Thee” (“O Sacrament Most Holy”) O Jesus, we adore thee Who in thy love divine, Conceal thy mighty Godhead In forms of bread and wine.

O Jesus, we adore thee, Our Savior and our King, And with the saints and angels A Humble homage bring. (Refrain)

Refrain: O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, All praise and all thanksgiving Be every moment thine!

O Jesus, we adore thee, Come, live in us, we pray, That all our thoughts and actions Be thine alone today. (Refrain)

O Jesus, we adore thee, Our Victim and our Priest, Whose precious blood and body Become our sacred feast. (Refrain)

O come, all you who labor In sorrow and in pain; Come, eat this bread from heaven, Your peace and strength regain. (Refrain)

Closing hymns I “Salve Regina”

II “Holy God, We Praise Thy Name” Holy God, we praise thy name; Lord of all, we bow before thee; all on earth thy scepter claim; all in heaven above adore thee.

Infinite thy vast domain; everlasting is thy reign.

Hark the glad celestial hymn angel choirs above are raising; cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord.

14

Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit: three we name thee, though in essence only one; undivided God we claim thee, and adoring bend the knee while we own the mystery.
