Prière à Notre Dame du sacerdoce
Vierge Marie, Mère du Christ Prêtre Mère des prêtres du monde entier, vous aimez tout particulièrement les
prêtres, parce qu'ils sont les images vivantes de votre Fils Unique. Vous avez aidé Jésus par toute votre vie
terrestre, et vous l'aidez encore dans le ciel. Nous vous en supplions, priez pour les prêtres! "Priez le père des
Cieux pour qu'il envoie des ouvriers à sa moisson". Priez pour que nous ayons toujours des prêtres qui nous
donnent les Sacrements, nous expliquent l'Evangile du Christ, et nous enseignent à devenir de vrais enfants de
Dieu. Vierge Marie, demandez Vous-même à Dieu le Père les prêtres dont nous avons tant besoin; et puisque
votre Cœur a tout pouvoir sur lui, obtenez-nous, ô Marie, des prêtres qui soient des saints.
The Protestant Deviation
This is one of the main distinctions between the different branches of Christianity. +
Catholic Christians and Eastern Orthodox Christians have maintained the ancient faith in the
real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. + But during the Protestant Reformation, which took
place in northern Europe in the fifteen and sixteen hundreds, the different Protestant groups
stopped believing in the real presence. + Martin Luther, John Calvin, Thomas Cranmer, John
Knox - these and other reformers started their own churches, breaking away from the Catholic
Church. + It was during this period that the many different Protestant denominations began to
appear: Lutherans, Presbyterians, Baptists... + The Puritans who arrived on the shores of
Massachusetts in the 1600s, the ones Americans call "the pilgrims," were a spinoff of
these reformed churches. All of these new Christian groups continued to celebrate
some kind of communion service in their Sunday worship, at least once or twice a year.
But none of them believed firmly and clearly that Jesus was truly present in the
Eucharist. They all taught that Jesus was only speaking symbolically when he said, as
we heard in today's Gospel, "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal
life." + But if Jesus had been speaking of a mere symbol, and not a real sacrament, would he
have referred to eating and drinking his flesh and blood seven times? + Would he have made
such an effort to explain that his flesh is "real food" and his blood "real drink" (verse 55)? +
Would he have used two different verbs to make sure he was understood: "phago" (verses 50
and 51), which means to consume a meal, and then, after his listeners expressed shock and
doubt, "trago" (verses 53-58), which means to gnaw, crunch, or chew, as when we eat raw
vegetables, or when cattle graze on grass? No, Jesus meant exactly what he said: he is
truly present in the Eucharist, because he loves us too much to abandon us.
