  • TORCHBEARER DURING HIGH MASS (MISSA CANTATA) OR SOLEMN HIGH MASS the Torchbearers (Tbs) Are Like the Honor Guard for Our Lord
    TORCHBEARER DURING HIGH MASS (MISSA CANTATA) OR SOLEMN HIGH MASS The Torchbearers (Tbs) are like the honor guard for Our Lord. During a High Mass, they take the place of the Sanctus Candle, an ancient Roman custom at Low Mass, which is lit from the Sanctus until the Ablutions. The Tbs also accompany Our Lord at the Communion Rail when Holy Communion is distributed1. During processions of the Blessed Sacrament, they accompany Him on either side of the canopy that covers Him2. It is the position of Tb, more so than of any other position, that adds solemnity to the Mass, who with his bright torch illuminates the Sanctuary and helps to surround Our Lord during the Canon, thereby highlighting and adding splendor to the most sacred part of the Mass3. General Rules • unity of action is very important and conducive in carrying out the various actions of Tbs’ office smoothly. Great care should be taken by Tbs to work as a team, and not as a group of individuals, especially in processing, genuflecting, and kneeling. • Tbs always turn inwards, that is, towards each other, when next to each other. • Tbs usually walk in their proper pairs and shoulder to shoulder [unless there is a lack of room; then they do so in single file, with the highest ranking Tb always going first] • whenever Tbs are processing, they should always be at least 4 pews away from each other [about 10 feet]; this will prevent Tbs from bunching up during processions, especially while genuflecting at the Foot of the Altar.

  • The Ancient Christian Ritual and Its Theological Meaning in the 21St Century
    The Ancient Christian Ritual and its Theological Meaning in the 21st Century: A Study of the Sign of Peace in the Novus Ordo in the Roman Rite A thesis submitted to the faculty of the Athenaeum of Ohio/Mount St. Mary’s Seminary of the West in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts (Theology) By Duy V-T Nguyen Cincinnati, Ohio May 2017 Abstract The sign of peace has a close connection to the kiss of peace, which was commonly practiced in the early Church. These two expressions also have their origins in the holy kiss, about which the apostle Paul writes in his letters. However, in recent times it has been suggested that the congregation should refrain from the exchange the sign of peace. How could a gesture that is rooted in tradition lose its importance? This study is an analysis of the historical development of the sign of peace since its inception. This is done through an examination of the major texts of the Roman Rite in chronological order, noting the significant developments. Furthermore, this study points out factors that contributed to the rise and the decline of the sign of peace. It also differentiates the sign of peace in the Roman Rite from that of other traditions. This thesis by Duy Vu-Trong Nguyen fulfills the thesis requirement for the master’s degree in Theology and is approved by: Advisor: Rev. Paul Jerome Keller, O.P., S.T.D. Readers: Rev. Benedict O'Cinnsealaigh, S.T.D. Rev. David J. Endres, Ph.D.

  • 1962 Missal Sheet
    OUTLINE OF THE 1962 MISSALE ROMANUM Brief history of the rubrical development of the Tridentine Rite after the Council of Trent To understand where the rubrics stand today, it is necessary to understand something of the decisions of the popes in the past. Here are some major highlights: Saint Pius V (1570): Following the Council of Trent (1545-1563) the Tridentine Rite of Mass was promulgated with the Papal Bull, Quo Primum. However, this did not introduce a new rite of Mass, rather it simply codified the Mass as was used in Rome at the time. It also fixed the text of the Ordinary and Canon of the Mass. Clement VIII (1605): Thirty years after Quo Primum, this pope was required to re-issue the official edition of the Tridentine Rite due to grave departures that had occurred, chiefly in the unauthorized substitution of the Itala Vetus texts with that of the new edition of the Vulgate (1592). New feasts were added as was the Common of Nonvirgins and Rubricae Generales, XX. Urban VIII (1634): Again thirty years later another revision was made. The rubrics were simplified, made clearer and brought into conformity with decisions made by the SRC since the time of Urban VIII. The number of feasts were reduced as well, which simplified the calendar. [Caeremoniale Episcoporum]: This book is separate from the Missal and deals with the ceremonies, especially regarding Pontifical Masses and processions, as performed in cathedrals and collegiate churches. It was drawn up between 1496 and 1528 by various papal master of ceremonies and was issued by Clement VIII in 1600.
