PIPE ORGAN "PORTRAITS' - A FEW BASICS
As we await the installation of new ranks of organ pipes and the repair of the existing reeds, let's review some organ basics:
1) Each pipe organ has its' own unique tonal resources.
2) The diapason is the characteristic, non-imitative sound of the organ.
3) Scale is the relative "fatness" of the pipe in proportion to its height.
4) Voicing includes all adjustments that can be made once the pipe has been
completed.
Our new organ pipes are presently being voiced and prepared for installation. Next Time: "Mouth" and "Toe"1 for the pipe organ.

FAVORS GRANTED THROUGH PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
The Adorers of the Perpetual Adoration wish to thank Jesus for the following favors:

leukemia;

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND 1 HOUR
WITH JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
Blessed Dina Belanger was told by Jesus in a vision that a multitude of souls were saved from the fires of hell by her Eucharistic holy hours of prayer. - Is it possible that your one holy hour of prayer per week could also reap similar benefits?

PIPE ORGAN "PORTRAITS' … "THE PIPES"
The pipes are an important part of the construction of a pipe organ. Tone comes from the pipes and is produced by vibrating columns of air. Wind is admitted to an opening in the pipe passes, through the windway, creating vibrations and thereby resonating the air column. The opening at the bottom front is the "mouth" of the pipe, and the "toe" is the opening at the bottom end of the pipe. Next time: "Pipes Have Ears"

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND 1 HOUR
WITH JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
The best, the most effective, the surest way of bringing about lasting peace on earth is through the great power of PEA, because only Jesus has the power and the love to redirect the course of history back to the path of peace, which He promised. Adoration brings peace to all hearts. And peaceful hearts make a peaceful world. Pope John Paul II wrote in Dominicae Cenae: "The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic Adoration."

A VOCATION VIEW
The Lord is the shepherd who calls. Pray for an increase in vocations to priesthood and religious life. If God is calling you, call Father Leon Biernat at 847-5535.

WELCOME TO THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY OF CHRIST THE KING
Julia Rose Parisi, daughter of Maria (Delauro) & Frank Parisi who was baptized in our Church last Sunday.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW that believing God exists is not enough to get us back into a right relationship with God. The Bible says that even Satan and the demons believe God exists. You could correctly conclude that it is possible to believe in the existence of God and still be separated from Him forever.

Please give generously.

PIPE ORGAN "PORTRAITS" - PIPES HAVE EARS!
We have learned that the pipes of the pipe organ generate sound by vibrating columns of air. These pipes have openings at the "mouth" and the "toe". In order to steady the speech (sound) of a pipe, so called "ears" are attached to the mouth of the pipes. These "ears" promote promptness in the speech of the pipes so there is minimal delay in the sound reaching the listeners. Next Time: The "Principals"

AS WE ARE BEING CONFIRMED IN CHRIST…

Christ Jesus, before ascending into heaven, You promised to send the Holy Spirit to Your apostles and disciples. Grant that the same Spirit may perfect in our lives the work of Your grace and love.

Grant us the Spirit of Wonder and Awe that we may be filled with a loving reverence toward You;

Grant us the Spirit of Reverence, that we may find peace and fulfillment in the service of God while serving others;

Grant us the Spirit of Courage that we may bear our cross with You and with courage, overcome the obstacles that interfere with our salvation;

Grant us the Sprit of Knowledge, that we may know You and know ourselves and grow in holiness;

Grant us the Spirit of Understanding, to enlighten our minds with the light of Your truth;

Grant us the Sprit of Right Judgement, that we may choose the surest way of doing Your will, seeking first the Kingdom;

Grant us the Spirit of Wisdom, that we may aspire to the things that last forever;

Teach us to be Your faithful disciples and animate us in every way with Your Spirit.

AMEN.
