  • Introitus: the Entrance Chant of the Mass in the Roman Rite
    Introitus: The Entrance Chant of the mass in the Roman Rite The Introit (introitus in Latin) is the proper chant which begins the Roman rite Mass. There is a unique introit with its own proper text for each Sunday and feast day of the Roman liturgy. The introit is essentially an antiphon or refrain sung by a choir, with psalm verses sung by one or more cantors or by the entire choir. Like all Gregorian chant, the introit is in Latin, sung in unison, and with texts from the Bible, predominantly from the Psalter. The introits are found in the chant book with all the Mass propers, the Graduale Romanum, which was published in 1974 for the liturgy as reformed by the Second Vatican Council. (Nearly all the introit chants are in the same place as before the reform.) Some other chant genres (e.g. the gradual) are formulaic, but the introits are not. Rather, each introit antiphon is a very unique composition with its own character. Tradition has claimed that Pope St. Gregory the Great (d.604) ordered and arranged all the chant propers, and Gregorian chant takes its very name from the great pope. But it seems likely that the proper antiphons including the introit were selected and set a bit later in the seventh century under one of Gregory’s successors. They were sung for papal liturgies by the pope’s choir, which consisted of deacons and choirboys. The melodies then spread from Rome northward throughout Europe by musical missionaries who knew all the melodies for the entire church year by heart.

  • Fourth Sunday of Lent Pink Or Laetare Sunday Is the Liturgical Way To
    Fourth Sunday of Lent Pink or Laetare Sunday is the liturgical way to remind us during this somber season of Lent, to "lighten up" and remember that our salvation is a present reality. Often we, as Prophetic Disciples can take for granted, the most marvelous event ever to shake human history. It was summed up in the Gospel just proclaimed to you: "God so loved the world that God gave God's only Begotten One, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life" (Jn 3:16). Three words in that sentence are crucial: love, give, life. God loved…so God gave…that we might live. Each word is mystery-laden, but the mystery has been somewhat unveiled. A word on each word. I. Love First, "God so loved the world." It's awesome. Many of us—perhaps most of us—have a fearsome idea of God. For whatever reason—childhood experience, grade-school religion, a fire and brimstone homilist—many a Christian sees God only as judge. I mean the God who "answered [Moses] in thunder" (Exodus 19:19). The God who sent serpents to bite the people (Numbers 21: 6; the God who refused to let Moses enter the Promised Land "because you broke faith with me" (Deut 32:51); the God who punished David's offspring for David's adultery. -etc. etc. Unfortunately, many grow up to see in the Hebrew Scriptures a punishing God, a God waiting to pounce on the sinner. Often we fail to remember the God who heard Israel's cry of despair and responded in unforgettable phrases that spell LOVE.

  • Liturgical Colors
    Liturgical Colors Liturgies celebrated during the different seasons of the liturgical year have distinctive music and specific readings, prayers, and rituals.

Match the colors to the descriptions given. White Red Violet Green Gold Rose 1. _________ is used on days when we celebrate the passion of Jesus on Passion Sunday and Good Friday.

  • Rules of Fasting and Abstinence Parish Lenten Devotions & Opportunities
    Lent calls us to repent of all that obscures God’s life within us and to believe in the Good News of the Gospel: the Good News of the forgiveness that is offered, the Good News of God’s love that is greater than anything we have done or failed to do, the Good News of the eternal life that has already begun for us through the Death and Resurrection of Jesus and in which we share through Baptism. Lent calls us to life: to become more and more in touch with the reality of God’s life within us, to awaken to the glorious destiny that is ours and to hasten toward it. Know that Lent is not so much about what we do for God…as it is about what God wishes to do for us: re-creating us in his love and life. Our sacrifices, our Lenten practices are important, yes, for they help us to focus on God; our acts of self-denial create an opening for God’s creative work in us. It is this new life—our life recreated in and by the Risen Christ—that we will celebrate at Easter. Enter, then, into these forty days with joy. RULES OF FASTING AND ABSTINENCE A reminder to parishioners that fasting is about more than denying ourselves food. A deeper understanding of fasting is about emptying oneself of the thing that distracts us from God. It’s about self-sacrifice to allow God to fill us. Fasting should never be an unhealthy practice. A broader perspective of fasting would include providing simpler meals, giving of our excess to charity.
