  • The Good Friday Office Vestments: Black I Class
    The Extraordinary Form of The Roman Rite The Good Friday office Vestments: Black I Class. Feria Extract from General Decree restoring the liturgy of Holy Week: "Let the faithful be led to understand properly today's special liturgical act, in which the Passion of our Lord is solemnly chanted: prayers offered for the needs of the whole Church and the human race: the Holy Cross, monument of our Redemption, is adored most devoutly by clergy and faithful, the whole family of Christ: finally, as for hundred of years was the practice, all who wish and are duly prepared go forward to receive Communion with this as their chief intention, that by devoutly receiving the Body of the Lord (which He delivered this day for all men) they may enjoy richer fruits of that Redemption. Let the priests urge the faithful to make this sacred day one of loving recollection, neither should they forget the law of abstinence and fasting." The instruction given by Pope Pius XII stipulates that Good Friday's solemn liturgy take place after noon; the best time would be three o'clock. The same Pope revives the old practice of all receiving Communion this day as a necessary part of the liturgical function. This consists of four main divisions, each of which has its own historical interest, the whole forming a dramatic representation of the Sacred Passion. I, II. The first two parts consist of readings from Scripture and a prayer, followed by the Passion according to St. John. It is concluded by a long series of prayers for various intentions.

  • Compiled from Devout Resources of the Saints' Sites
    compiled from devout resources of the Saints' sites. www.saintsprayers.net "That we may pray unceasingly" 1 Thess. 5:17 Herein is contained a compilation of Catholic prayers, quotations, and readings from religious devotional books and the writings of and about the saints. The treasury of wisdom herein is the treasury of Christ Himself for the soul. For these prayers to be of lasting value you must adhere to the one true Church founded by Christ, the Catholic Church and her doctrine as given by Christ while living a life of grace and love God in all your doings, being always aware of your own humble nature. The quotations and readings will be of aid for the mortification of the senses, purgation, understanding of the interior life, repelling of the spiritual enemies of the soul, illumination, and finishing of the spiritual journey to salvation. An example of devotion. Practice the continual remembrance of the Lord. Begin your day with the sign of the cross, invitatory, and morning prayers such as thanksgiving for the night's protection, morning offerings, and the acts of virtue. Examine your conscience and what the day will hold ahead. Pray for these intentions, then pray during the hours of the day, with such as the powerful prayers of the Most Precious Blood for the Holy Souls. Remember the hour of noon, and the hour of three o'clock. Devote every act to Jesus Christ in between the hours. Fast according to your capacity and practice temperance throughout all your acts. At midnight rise and make a devotion.

  • 100 Favorite Catholic Prayers by Beginningcatholic
    100 Favorite Catholic Prayers Selected and Edited by Michael Stapp www.beginningCatholic.com Copyright © 2006, beginningCatholic.com Selected and re-published from: Treasury of Prayer by Lawrence G. Lovasik, S.V.D. Divine Word Missionary Previously published in 1954 IMPRIMI POTEST: Rev. Robert C. Hunter, S.V.D. Provincial, Girard, PA NIHIL OBSTAT: A.H. Wiersbinski, LL.D. Censor IMPRIMATUR: ✠ John Mark Gannon, D.D., D.C.L., LL.D. Archbishop, Bishop of Erie October 5, 1954 Editor's Foreword Written, or formulaic prayers, are an outstanding school of prayer. In following them, we learn how to pray. The Our Father is the best example, the "most perfect of prayers" (Catechism, 2773). Christ himself gave it to us, saying "Pray then like this: Our Father..." (Mt 6:9) Jesus gave us much more than a simple formula to repeat mechanically. "As in every vocal prayer, it is through the Word of God that the Holy Spirit teaches the children of God to pray to their Father." (Catechism, 2766) ● St. Paul: "...The Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought...." (Rom 8:26) ● The Psalms themselves are beautiful written prayers. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, they are "the book in which The Word of God becomes man's prayer.... The Psalms both nourished and expressed the prayer of the People of God." (Catechism, 2586) And that is why we use written prayers: they nourish and express our individual prayers. This collection of prayers is a small sampling of the great treasure of written prayers from the Catholic Church's long history.

  • The Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Easter Sunday
    The Extraordinary Form of The Roman Rite The Solemnity of Solemnities The Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ Easter Sunday Vestments:: GOLD or White Double of the First Class with a Privileged Octave Station at St. Mary Major The Beginning of Mass Page 3 Eastertide begins with the Mass of the Easter Vigil and ends on the Saturday after Pentecost. It is a time of uninterrupted joy and Liturgical Feasts, during which we celebrate the Mysteries of the Resurrection, the Ascension, and the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and on His Church. Page 1 of 28 Easter The date of Easter, from which the date of all movable feasts is determined, is fixed according to the Jewish method and may vary between March 22 and April 25. In the Liturgy of Eastertide, we commemorate the various appearances of Our Lord, during which He instructed His Apostles and prepared them for the Descent of the Holy Spirit and His own Ascension to Heaven. The triumph and joy of Eastertide is reflected in the decoration of the sanctuary and the priest's use of white or gold vestments, symbolizing joy and purity. The "Asperges me" is supplanted by the "Vidi aquam," which refers to the waters of Baptism. Every year at Easter the Church rejoices for a double reason: Christ is risen, and many of her children redeemed. Until Ascension Day, the paschal candle shines in the sanctuary as a symbol of the visible presence of Our Lord upon earth, and white (or gold) vestments are used.
