Such cloths also serve a practical purpose, however, in absorbing whatever may be spilled of the Precious Blood or other sacramental elements. Just as the altar is a sign for us of Christ the living stone, altar cloths are used "out of reverence for the celebration of the memorial of the Lord and the banquet that gives us his body and blood." By their beauty and form they add to the dignity of the altar in much the same way that vestments solemnly ornament the priests and sacred ministers. Glass, ceramic or clay chalices and patens are not appropriate for use in the liturgy, since they are easily breakable or damaged if dropped.Īltar linens and sacred vessels are appropriately blessed according to the Order for the Blessing of Articles for Liturgical Use. Sacred vessels should be made of precious metal, although in the United States other precious materials may be used. Thus, the cloths and sacred vessels used at the altar in the course of the Eucharistic celebration should be treated with the care and respect due to those things used in the preparation and celebration of the sacred mysteries.Īltar linens should be "beautiful and finely made, though mere lavishness and ostentation must be avoided." Altar cloths, corporals, purificators, lavabo towels and palls should be made of absorbent cloth and never of paper. Whatever is set aside for use in the liturgy takes on a certain sacred character both by the blessing it receives and the sacred functions it fulfills. The following directives are adapted from the USCCB Committee on the Liturgy and reflect some modifications based upon the most recent General Instruction on the Roman Missal. In recent years the Office of Divine Worship has received a number of inquiries concerning the care and cleansing of altar linens and sacred vessels. Studies on mice have shown that a ketogenic diet before and through pregnancy was associated first with larger fetuses in the first half of pregnancy followed by smaller and weaker fetuses in the second half of pregnancy with distorted organ development.specifically in the cardiovascular and brains and association with behavioral problems.Proper Care and Cleansing of Altar Linens and Sacred Vessels In fact, they show some disturbing trends. Glucose is the primary fuel source for the brain, the brain uses more sugar than any other cellular system (which is why too much, and too little can be a problem). This is where things get interesting. Studies on the effects of ketogenic diets in pregnancy are not promising. These ketones also pass the placental barrier, and interesting in the third trimester there is no cap! The placenta allows a bit of a "free for all" flow of sugars and ketones to the baby.
So, her own metabolism and energy production relies heavily on the breakdown of fats for energy production. These chemicals block a portion of mom's insulin from bringing sugar into her own cells with the idea of bringing more sugar to the growing baby who now must put on body fat before birth. The placenta is amazing and does an incredible job of mediating the transport of nutrients from mother to baby. During this time, the placenta begins to produce insulin blocking chemicals. This means her body begins to breakdown stored nutrition (iron, sugars, proteins, etc.) for fuel as the demand for fetal development increases before delivery. In the third trimester her metabolism does a 180 and becomes catabolic. In the first trimester she is metabolically anabolic (meaning she is taking smaller particles and turning them into larger particles for storage). Part of the reason we see a building of body fat in the first trimester is to get a mother through the third trimester. But no study has been done directly associating MCT oil/Coconut oil consumption by trimester with changes in fetal growth/development or negative maternal outcomes. It is possible that consuming considerable amounts of MCT that are known to reduce weight gain could, in theory, affect pregnancy function. Mother's need to have a little body fat gain the first trimester, it is crucial and important for the remainder of pregnancy. This means whole grains, sweet potatoes, bananas, etc.to meet these needs. No, this does not mean they need cupcakes and cookies for breakfast. They really do need an increase in natural sugars. This is one of the main reasons that mothers will CRAVE carbohydrates. As well as fueling the formation of the placenta (it takes a lot of energy to grow organs).
The idea, biologically, is to begin storing body fat to be used later in pregnancy (you may have heard me say before that in pregnancy we are preparing for preparing) when the metabolism shifts again.
As HCG rises, so does the production of insulin. One of the coolest things happens in the first trimester.
