We find the prayers of our Canon in the treatise de Sacramentis and allusions to it in the IV century. So our Mass goes back, without essential change, to the age when it first developed out of the oldest liturgy of all.” Fr. Adrian Fortesque, The Mass: A Study of the Roman Liturgy, 1912 “There is no contradiction between the two editions of the Roman Missal. In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture. What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.” Pope Benedict XVI, Letter to Bishops with Summorum Pontificum, 2007) Overview of the 2 Forms of the Roman Rite Extraordinary Form (TLM) Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo) • Ad orientem • Rubrics assume ad orientem, but • Latin priest is usually versus populum • Follows Traditional Calendar • Vernacular permitted • Missale Romanum 1962 • Follows New Calendar • Novus Ordo Missae (Typica Tertia) The Types of the Traditional Latin Mass Sacred Sacred Ordinary Propers Altar Type Incense Ministers Music of the Mass* of the Mass** Servers Schola chants the Introit, Schola chants Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory and Communion Celebrant Ordinary & some Sung by Schola & Solemn Propers congregation Subdeacon chants Epistle Deacon Yes 5-13+ High Hymns and Celebrant prays Deacon chants Gospel Subdeacon polyphony are these at Altar Celebrant chants the Collect common and the Postcommunion, prays other Propers at Altar Schola chants the Introit, High Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory and Communion.

Direction of the priest will be ad orientem, and 3 altar cards are present. Interesting clue: Six candles lit on the altar: Solemn or High Mass Four candles lit on the altar: High Mass Two candles lit on the altar: Low Mass • RELICS: Relics of the saints (in reliquaries) may be on the altar A Roadmap and Comparison Between the 2 Forms Extraordinary Form (TLM) Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo) • Mass of the Catechumens • Introductory Rites – Prayers at Foot of Altar – Entrance, Greeting, Penitential Act – Introit – Glory to God, Collect – Kyrie • Liturgy of the Word – Gloria – 1st Reading, Psalm, 2nd Reading – Collect – Gospel Acclamation, Gospel – Epistle, Gradual, Alleluia – Homily – Gospel – Profession of Faith – Sermon – Universal Prayer – Credo • Liturgy of the Eucharist • Mass of the Faithful – Presentation of Gifts, Altar Preparation – Offertory – Prayer over the Offerings – Preface – Eucharistic Prayer (Preface, Holy Holy – Sanctus Holy, 1st Half of Prayer, Mystery of – The Canon Faith, 2nd Half of Prayer, Doxology) – Pater Noster – Lord’s Prayer, Sign of Peace, Lamb of – Agnus Dei God, Communion, Prayer After – Communion Communion – Postcommunion • Concluding Rites – Blessing – Optional announcements – Last Gospel – Greeting and Blessing – Dismissal The Traditional Latin Mass: Observations Prayers at the Foot of Altar to the Gospel • There are many things going on all at the same time. Celebrant Deacon Subdeacon Altar Servers: Each position has its duties Schola (choir): Chants certain Propers (Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, Communion), Credo and the Ordinary of the Mass Congregation: Joins the Schola in singing Ordinary and Credo The Traditional Latin Mass: Observations Prayers at the Foot of Altar to the Gospel • The Celebrant will be quietly praying the Propers and Ordinary at the altar AT THE SAME TIME that the choir is singing the very same thing. There are times that the Sacred Ministers will sit, especially while the Schola finishes singing the Gloria and Credo. When the Sacred Ministers sit, the Congregation sits. The Traditional Latin Mass: Observations Prayers at the Foot of Altar to the Gospel • One interesting note about the Sacred Music: some of the greatest treasures of our musical heritage WERE COMPOSED FOR THIS MASS. The parts of the Mass that were composed include the Ordinary and Credo (Schubert, Palestrina, Vierne, etc.) as well as the Propers (Faure and Mozart Requiems). • How to know when to sit/kneel/stand: the general postures of the Faithful are described in the red booklet missal. These postures are for High or Solemn High Mass. A chart of Low Mass postures will be available after the talk and is often provided at Low Masses. • Certain Latin responses are said only by the servers. The Faithful join in certain responses as directed. The Traditional Latin Mass: Observations The Credo to the Last Gospel • When singing the Credo, everyone kneels from "ET INCARNATUS EST" through "HOMO FACTUS EST”. • The Celebrant prays the Canon in a whispered voice (“silent Canon”) • After the Consecration, the Celebrant will keep thumb and index finger pressed together to protect any particles of the Blessed Sacrament. • Only the Celebrant chants the Pater Noster (Our Father). The Faithful respond at the end (sed libera nos a malo). The Traditional Latin Mass: Observations The Credo to the Last Gospel The Reception of Holy Communion “Catholics who are well disposed (i.e. fasting for one hour, not in a state of mortal sin and desirous of receiving the Holy Eucharist) approach the Communion rail and kneel to receive the Sacred Host on the tongue. The priest will pray in Latin, “May the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve your soul unto life everlasting. Amen.” As the priest says the “Amen” at the end of the prayer the communicant opens his or her mouth as the priest places the Sacred Host on his or her tongue. Source: SanctaMissa.org The Traditional Latin Mass: Observations Some Final Points • After the Last Gospel, the servers and Sacred Ministers will process out. • As the crucifix passes your pew, it is customary to bow or genuflect. • The Faithful often remain in the pew for silent prayers of thanksgiving after the Recessional hymn has finished. • A reverent silence is maintained in the Church after the Mass, and there is no applause..

  • Singing in Latin.Pages
    Why are we singing in Latin??? There are about 20 sets of Mass parts in Latin that were used commonly before the Mass was translated into the vernacular. The Sanctus and Agnus Dei that we are currently singing are from Mass XVIII, commonly used as Requiem Masses (funerals). The somberness and simplicity of this setting pairs well with the penitential season of Lent. Many of the other settings have more Joyful or uplifting qualities, so we shouldn’t Just associate singing in Latin with penance! Despite Latin being a dead language, the Catholic Church has retained it to this day as the official language of the Holy See and the Roman Rite. All liturgical documents, rites of the Church, and even official statements given by the Vatican are first published in Latin, and then translated into other languages for use throughout the world. So, why do we sing in Latin? It’s a layered answer. Given what I’ve already said, singing in Latin connects us to the Universal Church on a deeper level. It also tips a hat to our heritage of four centuries of praying the Mass in Latin – a tradition many “pre-Vatican II Catholics” remember. Now, you’re right in assuming that many parishes dropped the use of Latin after Vatican II. The Vatican II documents were interpreted and implemented differently in the United States than in other countries. While we saw an attitude of “out with the old, in with the new” here in the US, many other countries understood that one of the council’s goals was to retain the rich heritage of the Church, including the way churches were designed and decorated, the use of Latin, and so on.

  • July 29Th, 2018
    O SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 29, 2018 Why a change in the Altar arrangement? I was visiting my parents and my father asked me what is this Benedictine altar arrangement and why are you changing it now? I have only known the liturgy since it’s reform after Vatican II. So first of all this is not some nostalgia of the Mass of my childhood. I have been inspired by the New Evangelization to consider seriously what we are doing to pass on the faith and why our youth are leaving the Christian faith and embracing secular society. How do we turn to Jesus and show them the way? This year I hope we can focus on the Liturgy as our source and summit. When the Liturgy was reformed it was promulgated in Latin and with the Priest was in unison with the people mediating the sacrifice of the Mass to God. It was special permission given to the conference of Bishops from Rome to allow: 1. Vernacular Masses and 2. To face the people. While both of these changes were embraced and became the norm of practice there were unexpected consequences from both of these changes. The Benedictine Arrangement is a compromise to continue the norm of facing the people while refocusing the Priest on the Sacrifice offered to God. The Ad orien- tum (facing East symbolically) through the placement of candles and cross is to refocus our hearts on our hope, the Sacrifice of Jesus. As a Christian community, we are all facing ad orientem (i.e.

This liturgical calendar, together with these introductory notes, has been compiled in accordance with the Motu Proprio Rubricarum Instructum issued by Pope B John XXIII on 25th July 1960, the Roman Breviary of 1961 and the Roman Missal of 1962. For the universal calendar that to be found at the beginning of the Roman Breviary and Missal has been used. For the diocesan calendars no such straightforward procedure is possible. The decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 26th July 1960 at paragraph (6) required all diocesan calendars to conform with the new rubrics and be approved by that Congregation. The diocesan calendars in use on 1st January 1961 (the date set for the new rubrics to come into force) were substantially those previously in use but with varying adjustments and presumably as yet to re-approved. Indeed those calendars in use immediately prior to that date were by no means identical to those previously approved by the Congregation, since there had been various changes to the rubrics made by Pope Pius XII. Hence it is not a simple matter to ascertain in complete and exact detail the classifications and dates of all diocesan feasts as they were, or should have been, observed at 1st January 1961.

Boston College School of Theology & Ministry Introduction Metanoiete. From the very first word of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Mark reform and renewal have been an essential feature of Christian life and thought – just as they were critical to the message of the prophets of ancient Israel. The preaching of the Gospel presumes at least some openness to change, to acting differently and to thinking about things differently. This process has been repeated over and over again over the centuries. This insight forms the backbone of Gerhard Ladner’s classic work The Idea of Reform, where renovatio and reformatio are constants throughout Christian history.1 All of the great reform movements in the past twenty centuries have been in response to both changing cultural and societal circumstances (like the adaptation of Christianity north of the Alps) and the failure of Christians individually and communally to live up to the demands of the Gospel.

Augustine Thompson O.P. Office Hours: TBA at St. Albert’s Priory Course Description This course is a 1.5 unit graded liturgical practicum open to Dominican friar students, normally after residency year, best in the year of deaconal or priestly ordination. The goal is to acquire the ability to celebrate Low Mass and Missa Cantata according to the traditional Dominican Rite in Latin. The outcome will be a correct and fluid "dry Mass" celebration of the Dominican Rite Low Mass and of the Missa Cantata. These two exercises will in equal parts provide the two graded "exams" of the course. The format will be a practicum in which students perform the rite under the direction of the instructor. Admission to the Class Dominican friars who would like to be admitted to the class need to arrange an interview with the instructor. At the interview they will be asked to recite from memory the texts found on the next page. This memorization is not-negotiable and will serve to prove that the student is ready to undertake the heavy memorization element of the class. As this class is only open to Western Dominican Province student brothers it will be held at St. Albert’s with social distancing. Required Books and Materials William R.

  • Procedures for Reverencing the Tabernacle and the Altar Before, During and After Mass
    Procedures for Reverencing the Tabernacle and the Altar Before, During and After Mass Key Terms: Eucharist: The true presence of Christ in the form of his Body and Blood. During Mass, bread and wine are consecrated to become the Body and Blood of Christ. Whatever remains there are of the Body of Christ may be reserved and kept. Tabernacle: The box-like container in which the Eucharistic Bread may be reserved. Sacristy: The room in the church where the priest and other ministers prepare themselves for worship. Altar: The table upon which the bread and wine are blessed and made holy to become the Eucharist. Sanctuary: Often referred to as the Altar area, the Sanctuary is the proper name of the area which includes the Altar, the Ambo (from where the Scriptures are read and the homily may be given), and the Presider’s Chair. Nave: The area of the church where the majority of worshippers are located. This is where the Pews are. Genuflection: The act of bending one knee to the ground whilst making the sign of the Cross. Soon (maybe even next weekend – August 25-26) , the tabernacle will be re-located to behind the altar. How should I respond to the presence of the reserved Eucharist when it will now be permanently kept in the church sanctuary? Whenever you are in the church, you are in a holy place, walking upon holy ground. Everyone ought to be respectful of Holy Rosary Church as a house of worship and prayer. Respect those who are in silent prayer.

First off, IMy name’s __, and I’d like to thank you for your blog. I’ve learned a lot that I’ve been able to share with my friends about the Sacred Liturgy. The topic of ad orientam worship seems to come up a lot on your blog. Personally, I would prefer that Holy Mass be celebrated that way, but while studying the GIRM (I was in the seminary for a 3 semesters) I ran across paragraph 299: “The altar should be built apart from the wall, in such a way that it is possible to walk around it easily and that Mass can be celebrated at it facing the people, which is desirable wherever possible…”. You speak a lot about following the rubrics and the GIRM, saying mass the way Holy Mother Church commands us to. You’ve cited the GIRM to encourage things like chalice veils. How can you reconcile your endorsement of ad orientam worship in the Ordinary Form with your insistence on “Say the Black, Do the Red”? Not attacking you of course, Father, just wondering what your rationale is? I have written about GIRM 299 several times. Here is a good link to one entry: What Does GIRM 299 Really Say? The short answer is that you have been duped, probably on purpose.

  • Understanding When to Kneel, Sit and Stand at a Traditional Latin Mass
    UNDERSTANDING WHEN TO KNEEL, SIT AND STAND AT A TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS __________________________ A Short Essay on Mass Postures __________________________ by Richard Friend I. Introduction A Catholic assisting at a Traditional Latin Mass for the first time will most likely experience bewilderment and confusion as to when to kneel, sit and stand, for the postures that people observe at Traditional Latin Masses are so different from what he is accustomed to. To understand what people should really be doing at Mass is not always determinable from what people remember or from what people are presently doing. What is needed is an understanding of the nature of the liturgy itself, and then to act accordingly. When I began assisting at Traditional Latin Masses for the first time as an adult, I remember being utterly confused with Mass postures. People followed one order of postures for Low Mass, and a different one for Sung Mass. I recall my oldest son, then a small boy, being thoroughly amused with the frequent changes in people’s postures during Sung Mass, when we would go in rather short order from standing for the entrance procession, kneeling for the preparatory prayers, standing for the Gloria, sitting when the priest sat, rising again when he rose, sitting for the epistle, gradual, alleluia, standing for the Gospel, sitting for the epistle in English, rising for the Gospel in English, sitting for the sermon, rising for the Credo, genuflecting together with the priest, sitting when the priest sat while the choir sang the Credo, kneeling when the choir reached Et incarnatus est etc.

  • A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
    A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.
