  • 1 Introduction Two Processions Entered Jerusalem on a Spring Day
    1 Davidson College Presbyterian Church Davidson, North Carolina Scott Kenefake, Interim Senior Pastor “The Last Week” Palm Sunday March 25, 2018 Introduction Two processions entered Jerusalem on a spring day in the year 30. It was the beginning of the week of Passover, the most sacred week of the Jewish year. One was a peasant procession, the other an imperial procession. From the east, Jesus rode a donkey down the Mount of Olives, cheered by his followers. Jesus was from the peasant village of Nazareth, his message was about the kingdom of God, and his followers came from the peasant class. They had journeyed to Jerusalem from Galilee, about a hundred miles to the north. On the opposite side of the city, from the west, Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Idumea, Judea, and Samaria, entered Jerusalem at the head of a column of imperial cavalry and soldiers. Jesus’s procession proclaimed the kingdom of God; Pilate’s proclaimed the power of empire. The two processions embody the central conflict of the week that led to Jesus’s crucifixion. Pilate’s military procession was a demonstration of both Roman Imperial power—imagine cavalry on horses, foot soldiers, leather armor, helmets, weapons, banners, golden eagles mounted on poles, sun glinting on metal and gold. Sounds: the marching of feet, the creaking of leather, and the clinking of bridles, the beating of drums. The swirl of dust. The eyes of the silent onlookers, some curious, some awed, some resentful--and Roman Imperial Theology—they called Caesar (in this case Tiberius) “son of God,” “lord,” and “savior.” Inscriptions refer to him as … one who had brought “peace on earth.” Though unfamiliar to most people today, the imperial procession was well known in the Jewish homeland in the first century …, for it was the standard practice of the Roman governors of Judea to be in Jerusalem for the major Jewish festivals.

  • Sacred Image, Civic Spectacle, and Ritual Space: Tivoli’S Inchinata Procession and Icons in Urban Liturgical Theater in Late Medieval Italy

It explores the complex manner in which these central Italian cities both emulated and rejected the political and cultural hegemony of Rome through the ideological and performative reinvention of its cult icons. In the twelfth century the powerful urban center of Tivoli adopted Rome’s grandest annual public event, the nocturnal Assumption procession of August 14-15, and transformed it into a potent civic expression that incorporated all sectors of the social fabric. Tivoli’s cult of the Trittico del Salvatore and the Inchinata procession in which the icon of the enthroned Christ was carried at the feast of the Assumption and made to perform in symbolic liturgical ceremonies were both modeled on Roman, papal exemplars.

  • I AM the RESURRECTION and the LIFE WHOEVER BELIEVES in ME WILL LIVE FOREVER” -John 11:25
    “I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE WHOEVER BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE FOREVER” -John 11:25 Preparing a Funeral Mass St. Mary’s Parish Mansfield, MA Telephone: 508-339-2981 FAX: 508-339-0612 The Church, through its Funeral Rites, commends those who have died to God’s merciful love and affirms and expresses the union of the Church on earth with the Church in heaven. Though separated from the living, the dead are still one with the community of believers here on earth and benefit from our prayers and intercession. In the Funeral Rites, we proclaim our belief that all the faithful will be raised up and reunited in the new heavens and a new earth, where death will be no more. The purpose of this book is to assist you in planning a Funeral Mass according to the Rite of the Roman Catholic Church here at St. Mary’s Parish. The Order of Christian Funerals is composed of three stations or movements: A Vigil Prayer Service at the Funeral Home, a Funeral Mass at the Church and a Committal at the place of burial. This book concentrates on the Funeral Mass itself. The other two moments of prayer can be planned by the priest or presiding minister in consultation with the family of the deceased. 1 The Funeral Mass at Church consists of 5 parts, each of which is briefly explained: A. Introductory Rites Greeting and Sprinkling with Holy Water Placing of the Pall Entrance Procession Placing of Christian Symbols Opening Prayer B. Liturgy of the Word Scripture Readings Homily General Intercessions C.

  • Pdf • an American Requiem
    An American Requiem Our nation’s first cathedral in Baltimore An American Expression of our Roman Rite A Funeral Guide for helping Catholic pastors, choirmasters and families in America honor our beloved dead An American Requiem: AN American expression of our Roman Rite Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon them. And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace. Amen. Grave of Father Thomas Merton at Gethsemane, Kentucky "This is what I think about the Latin and the chant: they are masterpieces, which offer us an irreplaceable monastic and Christian experience. They have a force, an energy, a depth without equal … As you know, I have many friends in the world who are artists, poets, authors, editors, etc. Now they are well able to appre- ciate our chant and even our Latin. But they are all, without exception, scandalized and grieved when I tell them that probably this Office, this Mass will no longer be here in ten years. And that is the worst. The monks cannot understand this treasure they possess, and they throw it out to look for something else, when seculars, who for the most part are not even Christians, are able to love this incomparable art." — Thomas Merton wrote this in a letter to Dom Ignace Gillet, who was the Abbot General of the Cistercians of the Strict Observance (1964) An American Requiem: AN American expression of our Roman Rite Requiescat in Pace Praying for the Dead The Carrols were among the early founders of Maryland, but as Catholic subjects to the Eng- lish Crown they were unable to participate in the political life of the colony.

  • Ritual Action for Lectors During Mass 1. Lectors Take Part in the Entrance Procession by Walking Immediately in Front Of
    Ritual Action for Lectors during Mass 1. Lectors take part in the entrance procession by walking immediately in front of the deacon or the presiding priest and behind the altar servers and the EM Captain. The deacon or, in his absence, one of the lectors solemnly carries the closed Book of Gospels by holding it with uplifted hands so that it is displayed to the assembly and places it flat on the altar. 2. When carrying the Book of Gospels, the lector does not genuflect or bow. If not carrying it, the lector simply walks with hands at his/her sides and makes a profound bow to the altar before going to his/her seat in the assembly in a location that gives them easy access to the ambo. 3. At the time of the Liturgy of the Word, the lector approaches the ambo slowly and with reverence. The lector pauses before beginning the first reading read for the Lectionary while the assembly is settling. After completing the reading, the lector remains in place for a period of silence before leaving the ambo. 4. The first reader returns to his/her seat after the reading and before the Psalm is intoned. The second reader approaches the ambo after the Psalm and returns to his/her seat before the Gospel Acclamation, after allowing for a period of silence, as described above. When only one lector proclaims both readings, he/she is seated during the singing of the Psalm. If the Book of Gospels is used, the lector is to close the Lectionary after the last reading and store it on the shelf of the ambo.

  • Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service
    MAUNDY THURSDAY TENEBRAE SERVICE This service was originally designed for a church that usually only celebrates either Maundy Thursday or Good Friday, but not both. It combines Maundy Thursday’s new commandment, a fellowship meal, the Last Supper and a Tenebrae service. For a larger church, this could be done twice in the same evening. As people are eating, they are to reflect upon the text of Maundy Thursday. Tables are set up so that everyone is seated at table. A simple fellowship meal may precede this liturgy, in which case, casually and informally make sure that a basket of bread is on the table for all to share and that a bottle of sparkling grape juice is also there to share. Toward the end of the meal, break into it with the following liturgy. The idea is that like Jesus’ last supper with his disciples, the meaning of the meal just suddenly unfolds with Jesus’ odd words interjected into what seemed like a rather ordinary meal of the day. Lit tapers are on each table. A larger Christ candle is also in center of the space on one of the tables or on its own stand. This service requires advanced preparation and some practice in the evening with regard to lighting so that the lights gradually dim with the extinguishing of each candle. Timing is everything. There is a rhythm to this story that needs attention, so pastors may hand this service to someone with drama experience to “direct” the liturgy so that all he/she has to do is holy communion.

  • Singing for Dante in 'Purgatorio'

Phillips-Robins: SINGING FOR DANTE Bibliotheca Dantesca, 1 (2018): 127-145 SINGING FOR DANTE IN ‘PURGATORIO’ 30–31 HELENA PHILLIPS-ROBINS, University of Cambridge This essay investigates types of sociality enacted through song, as depicted in Dante’s Earthly Paradise. The first section of the essay argues that the singing of Psalm 30 (In te, Domine, speravi) in Purgatorio 30 is a way of enacting a particular mode of compassion. In the second section of the essay I argue that Dante’s depiction of Psalm 30—together with his depiction of the antiphon sung in Purgatorio 31, the Asperges me—invites a devotional response from the reader. The sociality of prayer can involve not only the characters, but also the readers of the Commedia. I investigate the liturgical context in which Dante and medieval readers would have known and lived the Asperges me. I argue that here, at the end of the narrative of his penitential journey, Dante, with this antiphon, invites the reader to her own performance of penance.

  • The Celebration of the Resurrection and the Rejoicing Processions Fr
    Meditations Inspired by the Holy Week of Easter THE CELEBRATION OF THE RESURRECTION AND THE REJOICING PROCESSIONS FR. TADROS Y. MALATY Translated by MARY ROSE The Lord Jesus Christ came to earth the valley of tears, in order to carry us over and into the embrace of God the Father. He carries us within Him-the Source of joy- Who grants our souls joyfulness in spite of the pain pervading this world. We are to experience His Resurrection as being our own resurrection; and therefore enjoy the proof that the heavens have become open to us through His amazing redemption. The Holy Week of Easter (Paschal/Passover) begins with joyful processions and ends with joyful celebrations due to the Lord’s Resurrection. This joy flows over us and proceeds from His Cross, His Burial, His descent to hell, and His return with the trophies-the spirits of the dead- to Paradise. Before celebrating the Passover, the Jews used to flood into Jerusalem with great rejoicing in order to celebrate that big event. They would come with huge numbers of sheep. These sheep reminded them of the happy exodus of God’s people from Egypt; and the freedom from slavery to Pharaoh. At that time, they looked forward to enter the land they would own as an inheritance and where they would enjoy freedom. In this new land, they would establish the kingdom of Israel under the care of the King of Kings, and live in His heavenly shadow. The Incarnated Word of God came to earth, the Lamb of God, the only ONE able to carry the sins of the whole world! What an immense differences between the procession of the lowly animals-the sheep-, which are offered during the Jewish Passover and the procession of the Lamb of God Who acts as our Passover forever.

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) is a Solemnity that falls on the Sunday after the Most Holy Trinity in the Dioceses of the United States. This annual celebration occurs two weeks after Pentecost toward the beginning of summer in the return to Ordinary Time following the Great Easter 50-Days. The Ceremonial of Bishops offers this guidance for this Solemnity and for the procession that is associated with it. It offers some rich concepts for preaching and for catechesis. 385. The institution of the eucharist has as a special memorial the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, when Christ the Lord shared a meal with his disciples and gave them the sacrament of his body and blood to be celebrated in the Church.
