Ave Maria! Fr. Angelo Geiger gives his fourth talk for our retreat at the Mother of the Redeemer Retreat Center called "Apocalypse Now" which is about Revelation, the last and most mysterious book of the Bible. In this talk he covers liturgical aspects of the book where the great wedding feast is a heavenly liturgy fulfilling the Passover feast and the Holy Mass of the New Covenant.
Many liturgical elements
Entire book is structured like a mass
Confiteor, the word, Opening of the temple is the Eucharist
Canticles, incense, elders, prayers, altar, many others
14:1 144,000 Name written on the forehead.
Alleluias
Mass is reflection of heavenly liturgy
pinnacle of our worship
11:37 Seated on the throne, lamb who was slain
Reason why we can worship anywhere
Battle happens in the liturgy,
Liturgy is attacked
Need renewal, reform
Vatican II active participation
Key Motive for the council, Good
But implemented in overly human way
God should be the center, worship Him
Real participation is not "doing stuff"
Rather conscious participation in the sacrifice
based on royal priesthood of baptized
Lumen Gentium all are priests called to sacrifice
Ordained Priest offers in the person of Christ
We represent ourselves and offer ourselves
All our suffering made fruitful by Sacrifice of the Mass
We are at Calvary at Mass
Reform is on going and has been talked about for centuries
Need to add silence and reverence
Needs to be both God centered and relational
both horizontal and vertical
New mass vernacular suited for participation
Offer spiritual sacrifice together with saints
Liturgical abuse is unfortunate sign of the times
Mass is the victory
Given by God for all spiritual combat
Heaven and earth meet
Questions:
Is John the author of Revelations different in style from other of John's writings
differences are mostly due to prophetic nature, other letters are not
Medjugorje why so slow?
Still in process, apparitions still going on
Jury is still out
suffering is involved in many of these things, Padre Pio
But like him should always obey Church
Relationship between Revelations and feast at Cana?
Yes both are wedding feasts
many layers of meaning in revelation
Christ performs first miracle at a wedding by his plan
Douay-Rheims accurate Our Lady knows the significance of asking this
Mark of the Beast is implanted chips
Could be but not to be focused on
Church does not define these things
Confiteor only one is done in latest TLM
Difference between Protestant and Catholic Interpretations
Scott Hahn used to see it a futuristic
started to become Catholic as he realized that it is largely Liturgical
Very little has been defined as to what verses mean what
Obama Care is it Apocalyptic
Could be but not necessarily
Is in sense of Government to overstep
and involves a challenge to accept Contraceptive mandate
