    DIOCESE OF FORT WORTH SUMMARY OF PASTORAL NOTES FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION Revised April, 2012 The following notes have been compiled to help pastors and the parish ministers to prepare for the celebration of Confirmation in their parish. Please see Pages C-1 to C-15 in Sacramental Guidelines for full information on the Sacrament of Confirmation. 1. GENERAL INFORMATION: 1.1 Bishop Vann will always celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation during Mass. He will be accompanied by a deacon; however, if the parish has one deacon, he will serve as the Deacon of the Word. If the parish has more deacons, they are to function as deacons of the Word and of the Altar at the Mass. The Bishop’s attending deacon will serve as Master of Ceremonies and assist the Bishop at the Sacrament of Confirmation. 1.2 The Mass text will normally be the proper ritual Mass for Confirmation found in the sacramentary, with the preface of the Holy Spirit, using red vestments. However, on the Sundays of Advent, Lent and Eastertide, and on other solemnities, the Mass is that of the day with the appropriate colored vestments. 1.3 Three scripture readings will always be proclaimed, taken only from among those selections found in the lectionary for the ritual Mass of Confirmation, or in the case of a solemnity, from the Mass of the day. 1.4 All priests present are invited to concelebrate the Eucharist with the bishop. 1.5 It is appropriate that two of the candidates read the lessons, but only if they are well prepared and able to proclaim the text.

St. Tarcisius, pray for me and for all servers. ALTAR SERVER'S PRAYER Loving Father, Creator of the universe, You call Your people to worship, to be with You and each other at Mass.

Being an Altar Server is a great honor – and a responsibility. Servers are responsible for: a) knowing when they are scheduled to serve, and b) finding their own coverage if they cannot attend. (email can help) The schedule is emailed out, prior to when it begins. The schedule is available on the Church website, and published the week before in the Church Bulletin. We have attached the, “St. Basil Altar Server Manual.” After your child attends the two server training sessions, he/she will most likely still feel unsure about the job – that’s OK.

  • The Prayer of the Faithful
    TOOWOOMBA DIOCESAN LITURGICAL COMMISSION GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER OR THE PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL The following guidelines are provided to assist with preparing and presenting the Universal Prayer. The Prayer of the Faithful makes a personal connection between the Eucharist and the daily life of Christians. The petitions should be relevant to the needs and concerns of the people at this particular time, while also extending their compassion to include the whole world. In these petitions the people make intercessions for all, with the result that, as the liturgy of the word has its full effects in them, they are better prepared to proceed to the liturgy of the Eucharist. #30 LMI The Prayer of the Faithful takes the format of a short series of announced intentions, each followed by a period of silence during which the faithful make their prayer. The intentions should be brief, few in number, simply constructed and clearly articulated. The series of intentions is usually to be: a) for the needs of the Church; b) for public authorities and the salvation of the whole world; c) for those burdened by any kind of difficulty; d) for the local community. #70 GIRM The intentions are not prayers as such and therefore do not address God. They should not contain the words “you” or “your”. Intentions should not be constructed using an imperative verb (authoritative) such as “Guide the Pope…”, “Give peace to our world…”, “Bring them eternal life…”. The reader announces the intentions to the people, using words such as, For…& That.... The structure of the intercessions should be consistent across all the petitions.

  • THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA the Missa Chrismatis: a Liturgical Theology a DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the S
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA The Missa Chrismatis: A Liturgical Theology A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Sacred Theology © Copyright All rights reserved By Seth Nater Arwo-Doqu Washington, DC 2013 The Missa Chrismatis: A Liturgical Theology Seth Nater Arwo-Doqu, S.T.D. Director: Kevin W. Irwin, S.T.D. The Missa Chrismatis (“Chrism Mass”), the annual ritual Mass that celebrates the blessing of the sacramental oils ordinarily held on Holy Thursday morning, was revised in accordance with the decrees of Vatican II and promulgated by the authority of Pope Paul VI and inserted in the newly promulgated Missale Romanum in 1970. Also revised, in tandem with the Missa Chrismatis, is the Ordo Benedicendi Oleum Catechumenorum et Infirmorum et Conficiendi Chrisma (Ordo), and promulgated editio typica on December 3, 1970. Based upon the scholarly consensus of liturgical theologians that liturgical events are acts of theology, this study seeks to delineate the liturgical theology of the Missa Chrismatis by applying the method of liturgical theology proposed by Kevin Irwin in Context and Text. A critical study of the prayers, both ancient and new, for the consecration of Chrism and the blessing of the oils of the sick and of catechumens reveals rich theological data. In general it can be said that the fundamental theological principle of the Missa Chrismatis is initiatory and consecratory. The study delves into the history of the chrismal liturgy from its earliest foundations as a Mass in the Gelasianum Vetus, including the chrismal consecration and blessing of the oils during the missa in cena domini, recorded in the Hadrianum, Ordines Romani, and Pontificales Romani of the Middle Ages, through the reforms of 1955-56, 1965 and, finally, 1970.

  • Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
    July 13, 2020 Your Eminence/Your Excellency, On August 6 and 9, the world will mark the 75th Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Our Conference of Bishops has marked these solemn anniversaries from time to time with statements and events. The Catholic Church in Japan is observing “Ten Days of Prayer for Peace” from August 6-15. I wanted to share with you a statement I have issued for the 75th Anniversary and request that we as bishops invite our people offer our own prayers in personal devotions and Masses August 9. Enclosed with this letter you will find the following, with links to the resources provided where available: 1. Statement on “The 75th Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: A Renewed Call for Our Day.” This brief statement highlights the significance of the anniversary, the origins of the Japanese observance of “Ten Days of Prayer for Peace” in the wake of the historic apostolic journey of Pope St. John Paul II in 1981, and the more recent visit of Pope Francis. 2. Prayer Card for “The 75th Anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: A Renewed Call for Our Day.” This reproducible prayer card offers the prayer of Pope St. John Paul II on the occasion of his historic visit to Hiroshima in 1981 in both English and Spanish. 3. Sample Bulletin Announcements and General Intercessions: There are brief bulletin announcements for the weekends of August 2 and 9 that can be used by parishes. They mention the visits of Pope St. John Paul II and Pope Francis to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and invite prayers for peace and solidarity.
