Nothing is more fundamental to our faith than the question, who is God? Thus we will explore this question from both a philosophical and theological perspective. If you are afraid that you are not smart enough to keep up with the material, give it a try anyways. I will lead you through each topic and I thoroughly enjoy questions. Our first topic is the overarching theme, what do we mean by “God”? Then we will move from the general topic of God throughout revelation to Jesus. From Jesus we will discuss the Holy Spirit and the Trinity. I have planned this series to be free-flowing to allow the freedom to discuss a topic as long as we need. So, please join us in Alberton on Sundays from 4-5 pm. Schedule on the back.

We will not meet the following Sundays: October 28th, November 25h.
 

The summer is fast approaching and so is our chance to go outside and enjoy the beauty of Montana. Starting in April, I will be leading monthly hikes to locations near MIssoula. You are welcome to join us for these hikes. The dates are listed below:

Fr. Cody’s Corner
Have you thought of liturgy as prayer? You know Mass, the Sunday service, that thing we do on Sunday. Liturgy is a form of prayer, or should be a form of prayer. You may be surprised that I used the word “liturgy” instead of “Mass.” The word liturgy encompasses more than just Mass. Liturgy includes all seven Sacraments, the Liturgy of the Hours, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and Liturgy of the Word (like Mass but without Communion)..But let me take a step back for a moment. What is liturgy? Liturgy is the work of the people. More specifically it is a public work. Think of it this way, if we planned to build a statue for Missoula, a park, or a new stadium, all of these projects benefit everyone. We work together to plan, develop, and build. Then we all share in the benefit of having the new space or building. The same idea applies to our liturgical celebrations. Whenever we celebrate Mass, a baptism, marriage, or any of the other forms of liturgy, we are not simply spectators enjoying the moment with God. Instead we are active participants praying and adding our support as we pray for the world and make God present to the world. We are performing a work that benefits all people.
If you are having trouble with this concept or not sure what to do with what I have said, try these ideas. What are we doing during the Mass? We listen to God speak to each and every one of us – the readings. We pray for the needs of the world – the prayers of the faithful. We make God present to us and the world – the Eucharistic Prayer. In every form of liturgy we are doing essentially all three of these things. For example, baptism: listening to God’s word – readings; praying for the world – litany of the saints, prayers of the faithful; making God present, invoking the Holy Spirit upon the water, new birth of the child through baptism. Try this out. Listen for whom we are praying to and for what when each prayer in prayed. This attentive listening will guide you to experience what liturgy is all about.
