  • The Divine Office
    THE DIVINE OFFICE BRO. EMMANUEL NUGENT, 0. P. PIRITUAL life must be supplied by spiritual energy. An efficient source of spiritual energy is prayer. From Holy Scripture we learn that we should pray always. li In general, this signifies that whatever we do should be done for the honor and glory of God. In a more restricted sense, it requires that each day be so divided that at stated in­ tervals we offer to God acts of prayer. From a very early period it has been the custom of the Church, following rather closely the custom that prevailed among the Chosen People, and later among the Apostles and early Christians, to arrange the time for her public or official prayer as follows: Matins and Lauds (during the night), Prime (6 A.M.), Tierce (9 A.M.), Sext (12M.), None (3 P.M.), Vespers (6 .P. M.), Compline (nightfall). The Christian day is thus sanc­ tified and regulated and conformed to the verses of the Royal Psalmist: "I arose at midnight to give praise to Thee" (Matins), "Seven times a day have I given praise to Thee"1 (Lauds and the remaining hours). Each of the above divisions of the Divine Office is called, in liturgical language, an hour, conforming to the Roman and Jewish third, sixth, and ninth hour, etc. It is from this division of the day that the names are given to the various groups of prayers or hours recited daily by the priest when he reads his breviary. It is from the same source that has come the name of the service known to the laity as Sunday Vespers, and which constitutes only a portion of the Divine Office for that day.

  • Thurifer at Missa Cantata
    THURIFER AT MISSA CANTATA GENERAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES The Thurifer (Th) has the privilege of bearing the thurible during Mass and of the office of incensing the inferior ministers and the laity. The word thurible is derived from thus, which is Latin for incense. It is generally thought, that the thurible used by the Jews was very similar as employed at Mass now, that is, with three chains, though it is unknown if the Jewish thuribles had a cover. The thurible is also considered to be a liturgical object of great value in its symbolic use, as the thuribles made by the Jews were made of solid gold. This was perhaps done so as to imitate the Altar of Incense (on which incense was burnt three times a day), that stood outside the Temple, which was made of gold plate over wood. The history of the use of incense is very ancient, dating back to earliest ages. Incense was widely used by both the Jews in the Temple ceremonies, as commanded by Almighty God Himself, as well as by the pagan religions. In ancient times, burning incense was also used as an air freshener in countries under Roman or Asian influence; it too was used to incense the guests as a mark of respect at banquets. In fact incense was so widely used, that God Himself commanded the Jews, that the incense compound made for use in the Temple ceremonies, was to be used expressly for the Temple (i.e., God), under the penalty of death, so that it could not be used for secular functions.

  • Reader Training in York Diocese
    Reader Training in York Diocese Following recommendation by the Selection Panel and Bishop, you will begin the journey which leads, in time, to licensing as a Reader and to public ministry in the Diocese. Whilst it is recognised that the expressions of ministry will be many and varied depending upon the gifts of the individual and the context in which they will train and serve, nevertheless much attention has been given in recent years to identifying the distinctive nature of Reader Ministry and ensuring people are adequately prepared to fulfil this calling. The Church of England describes Readers as: ‘lay men and women, from a wide diversity of occupations and backgrounds, who recognize a call to serve God and his world through the Church of England. They are sometimes described as 'lay theologians'; their close contact with everyday situations helping them to interpret the Gospel, and to proclaim Christ's teaching both in the Church and in the world. In collaborative teams with clergy and other church members they work in a variety of situations; in parishes, schools, prisons, hospitals, hospices, factories and shops, among seafarers and in the Armed Forces, with children and young people, the elderly, housebound and bereaved, and with those preparing for baptism, confirmation and marriage. The Service for the Admission and Licensing of Readers, in approved 2006, proclaims: ‘Readers are called to serve the Church of God and to work together with clergy and other ministers. They are to lead public worship, to preach and teach the word of God, to assist at the Eucharist and to share in pastoral and evangelistic work.

  • The Ministry of the Lector: the Fifth in the Lent-Easter Series 'Good Liturgy'
    The Ministry of the Lector: The fifth in the Lent-Easter series 'Good Liturgy' James M. Schellman March 29, 2004 Roman Catholics have not generally been thought of as people of the word, that is, of the Bible. This has been considered one of the dividing lines between Catholics and other Christians for nearly 500 years. The past 30-some years, however, have witnessed a sea change in biblical familiarity among Catholics. This is mostly a result of the Scripture now enshrined in our own language throughout Catholic worship. For most of us, this word is experienced especially through the biblical readings proclaimed, preached and savored Sunday after Sunday during the Liturgy of the Word at Mass. Contrast our present Sunday experience with the way it used to be. Formerly, the priest read the Scriptures first in Latin at the altar with his back to the people, and then in English at the pulpit. The readings were passages from the epistles and Gospels arranged in one set of Scripture readings that was repeated year after year. On Sundays a homily usually followed, but rarely did the homily have much to do with the Scripture passages just heard. The present Lectionary for Mass must be viewed as one of the most remarkably effective achievements of the church in centuries. Through it the Catholic community as a whole now experiences the biblical word in corporate worship in a breadth and depth unknown for hundreds of years. Over the course of a three-year cycle of readings and psalms, we now have proclaimed and preached most of the New Testament and carefully chosen selections from the Old Testament including the poetic words of the psalms.

    The Western Rite Vicariate The Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America The Right Reverend Bishop JOHN, Auxiliary Bishop Very Reverend Edward W. Hughes, Vicar General 103 Pleasant Street, Methuen, MA 01844-7130 Telephone/Fax: 978-686-3274 [email protected] May 22, 2017 According to the founding document signed by Metropolitan Antony Bashir in 1962, and as reiterated in 1980 by Metropolitan Philip, the purpose of the Western Rite is twofold: 1. To provide a home in the Orthodox Church for western people of non-Byzantine cultural and religious background. 2. To witness to the catholicity of the Orthodox Church to her Byzantine Rite people, priests and theologians. In addition, the document states that the Vicariate exists also 3. To establish a desirable uniformity of practice within the Western Rite parishes of the Archdiocese, and 4. To orient those who may, from time to time, apply for admission to it. In order to provide such a home in the Orthodox Church, with the permission of the Metropolitan; we establish parishes and missions, we train clergy, we recommend to the Metropolitan to appoint clergy to the various parishes and missions, we publish or provide liturgical, musical, and educational materials, and we meet with interested people wishing to enter the Archdiocese through the Vicariate, answering questions about Orthodoxy and about the Western Rite within our Archdiocese, as well as helping to guide them through the process of entering the Archdiocese, especially if they are bringing a mission group with them. We also conduct classes in Western Rite liturgics and chant through the Antiochian House of Studies.
