  • 2020-11-01 Gregorian Chant, Preliminary
    All Souls’ Day (Transferred from November 2) Sunday, November 1, 2020, 5:00 p.m. ALL SOULS’ DAY/ALL SOULS’ REQUIEM The tradition of observing November 2 as a day of commemoration began in the tenth century as a complement to All Saints’ Day, November 1. The traditional service of remembering the dead — whether on this day or during an actual funeral — is called a Requiem, the first word of the Latin text, meaning “rest.” The solemnity of the liturgy and the beauty of the music help us to mourn with hope. Thus we are encouraged to trust ever more in God’s gift of eternal life through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. THE GREGORIAN CHANT REQUIEM The oldest musical setting of the Requiem is the version in Gregorian Chant (plainsong, melody only, no harmony). Created sometime in the first millennium A.D., it does have one “new” movement, the Dies irae, dating from no later than the 1200s. The Dies irae melody has been quoted in non-Requiem music by Hector Berlioz, Franz Liszt, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Camille Saint-Saëns, among others. Some composers of Requiem settings have omitted the Dies irae text, either because of its length or because of its expression of fear, guilt, and judgment. Regarding the latter issue, Jesus, his apostles, and his Hebrew prophets do indeed declare a day of reckoning, and fear is a legitimate human feeling, expressed in the Psalms and in the Prophets. However, God’s grace can ease our fear, and — through the Holy Spirit’s ministry — can offset it by giving us confidence in Christ’s merit rather than our own.

  • 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.

  • Understanding When to Kneel, Sit and Stand at a Traditional Latin Mass
    UNDERSTANDING WHEN TO KNEEL, SIT AND STAND AT A TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS __________________________ A Short Essay on Mass Postures __________________________ by Richard Friend I. Introduction A Catholic assisting at a Traditional Latin Mass for the first time will most likely experience bewilderment and confusion as to when to kneel, sit and stand, for the postures that people observe at Traditional Latin Masses are so different from what he is accustomed to. To understand what people should really be doing at Mass is not always determinable from what people remember or from what people are presently doing. What is needed is an understanding of the nature of the liturgy itself, and then to act accordingly. When I began assisting at Traditional Latin Masses for the first time as an adult, I remember being utterly confused with Mass postures. People followed one order of postures for Low Mass, and a different one for Sung Mass. I recall my oldest son, then a small boy, being thoroughly amused with the frequent changes in people’s postures during Sung Mass, when we would go in rather short order from standing for the entrance procession, kneeling for the preparatory prayers, standing for the Gloria, sitting when the priest sat, rising again when he rose, sitting for the epistle, gradual, alleluia, standing for the Gospel, sitting for the epistle in English, rising for the Gospel in English, sitting for the sermon, rising for the Credo, genuflecting together with the priest, sitting when the priest sat while the choir sang the Credo, kneeling when the choir reached Et incarnatus est etc.

  • A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
    A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.

  • Pilgrimage Processions, Religious Sensibilities and Piety in the City Of
    Pilgrimage Processions, Religious Sensibilities and Piety in the City of Acre in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem Peregrinaciones, sensibilidades religiosas y piedad en la ciudad de Acre del Reino latino de Jerusalén Peregrinações, sensibilidades religiosas e piedade na cidade de Acre do Reino Latino de Jerusalém Shlomo LOTAN1 Resumen: Después de la caída de Jerusalén en 1187, Acre se convirtió en la capital formal de la cruzada de la cristiandad. Durante el siglo XIII, se convirtió en lugar de peregrinaje para los cristianos, quienes, a su vez, enriquecieron la ciudad con las ceremonias religiosas que aportaron. Esta procesión se ha denominado Perdón de Acre y ha contribuido notablemente al entendimiento que hoy tenemos de los lugares religiosos y de los grupos militares situados en la Acre franca. Es por ello que en este ensayo pretendo revisitar estos eventos para aportar nueva luz a la comprensión de los lugares religiosos, peregrinaciones y grupos militares que participaron en tan señalado momento. Palabras clave: Cruzadas – Reino latino de Jerusalén – Acre – Peregrinación – Órdenes militares – Hospitalarios – Templarios – Orden Teutónica. Abstract: After the fall of Jerusalem in 1187, Acre became the formal capital of the Crusader Kingdom. During the 13th century, it became a pilgrimage site for many Christian pilgrims, who enriched the city with their religious ceremonies. Such as a procession called the Pardon d'Acre, which contributed greatly to our understanding of the religious places and military compounds in Frankish Acre. In this essay, I link the religious ceremonies that took place in Acre with the passages among the locations mentioned therein. All these contributed to the revival of the historical and religious space in medieval Acre.

Superior General Within our Family, we often cite the saying of St. Vincent: “Love is creative even to infinity.”1 Ordinarily, we use this citation to motivate others to be creative pastorally, to respond to new forms of poverty, to be inventive in new formation programs for lay leaders and for the clergy, to investigate ways of rooting out the causes of poverty. But apt as this rhetorical use of Vincent’s words might be, their actual context was quite different. They refer to the institution of the Eucharist.
