Holy Hour of Mercy for the Jubilee Year of Mercy Period of Eucharistic Exposition HOLY HOUR OF MERCY FOR THE JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY PERIOD OF EUCHARISTIC EXPOSITION Directions for Eucharistic exposition are found in the ritual book, Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside Mass. Please note especially the following: The altar should be prepared with four to six lit candles, corporal and monstrance. Suitable liturgical music should be planned and servers should be prepared to assist with the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy. When exposition precedes Mass or takes place apart from Mass, there should be a recently consecrated host in the tabernacle for exposition. When exposition immediately follows Mass, the host for exposition is typically consecrated at that Mass. EXPOSITION The priest celebrant, vested in a white cope and stole, exposes the Blessed Sacrament in the usual way with a hymn such as O Salutaris sung during the incensation. The priest presides at the Holy Hour from the priest celebrant’s chair. ADORATION A deacon or an assisting priest proclaims the Gospel. Matthew 11:25-30, John 19:31-37 or any other option from those given in the Lectionary for Mass for Votive Masses for the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus [Number 1000: 1-8]. A brief homily on the theme of Divine Mercy is appropriate. The priest celebrant, kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament, and toward the end of the period of adoration, leads all in the Chaplet of Divine Mercy or the Litany of Divine Mercy. After this the Creed and the Lord’s Prayer are prayed for the intentions of the Holy Father and to obtain the Jubilee Year of Mercy Indulgence. Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy Christ, have mercy Christ, have mercy Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy 1 Divine Mercy, gushing forth from the bosom of the Father, I trust in You Divine Mercy, greatest attribute of God, I trust in You Divine Mercy, incomprehensible mystery, I trust in You Divine Mercy, fountain gushing forth from the mystery of the Most Blessed Trinity, I trust in You Divine Mercy, unfathomed by any intellect, human or angelic, I trust in You Divine Mercy, from which wells forth all life and happiness, I trust in You Divine Mercy, better than the heavens, I trust in You Divine Mercy, source of miracles and wonders, I trust in You Divine Mercy, encompassing the whole universe, I trust in You Divine Mercy, descending to earth in the Person of the Incarnate Word, I trust in You Divine Mercy, which flowed out from the open wound of the Heart of Jesus, I trust in You Divine Mercy, enclosed in the Heart of Jesus for us, and especially for sinners, I trust in You Divine Mercy, unfathomed in the institution of the Sacred Host, I trust in You Divine Mercy, in the founding of the Holy Church, I trust in You Divine Mercy, in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, I trust in You Divine Mercy, in our justification through Jesus Christ, I trust in You Divine Mercy, accompanying us through our whole life, I trust in You Divine Mercy, embracing us especially at the hour of death, I trust in You Divine Mercy, endowing us with immortal life, I trust in You Divine Mercy, accompanying us every moment of our life, I trust in You Divine Mercy, shielding us from the fire of hell, I trust in You Divine Mercy, in the conversion of hardened sinners, I trust in You Divine Mercy, astonishment for Angels, incomprehensible to Saints, I trust in You Divine Mercy, unfathomed in all the mysteries of God, I trust in You Divine Mercy, lifting us out of every misery, I trust in You Divine Mercy, source of our happiness and joy, I trust in You Divine Mercy, in calling us forth from nothingness to existence, I trust in You Divine Mercy, embracing all the works of His hands, I trust in You Divine Mercy, crown of all God’s handiwork, I trust in You Divine Mercy, in which we are all immersed, I trust in You Divine Mercy, sweet relief for anguished hearts, I trust in You Divine Mercy, only hope of despairing souls, I trust in You Divine Mercy, repose of hearts, peace amidst fear, I trust in You Divine Mercy, delight and ecstasy of holy souls, I trust in You Divine Mercy, inspiring hope against all hope, I trust in You Let us pray. Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Amen. PERIOD OF SILENT PRAYER BENEDICTION 2 Then as the hymn, such as Tantum ergo, is sung, the Blessed Sacrament is incensed in the usual way. The priest celebrant stands and sings: Let us pray. O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament have left us a memorial of your Passion, grant us, we pray, so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood that we may always experience in ourselves the fruits of your redemption. Who live and reign with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. All: Amen. The priest celebrant, wearing the humeral veil, gives the Eucharistic blessing in the usual way. REPOSITION The Divine Praises are recited as the Blessed Sacrament is reposed. Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart. Blessed be His Most Precious Blood. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy. Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception. Blessed be her glorious Assumption. Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His angels and in His Saints. May the Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised adored and loved with grateful affection in all the tabernacles of the world, even until the end of time. Amen. A hymn such as Holy God may be sung after the Divine Praises. The altar is cleared of the monstrance and corporal at this time as well. 3 .

  • INSTRUCTIONS: Exposition / Adoration / Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament Resources the Norms Which Govern Eucharistic Exposit
    INSTRUCTIONS: Exposition / Adoration / Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament Resources The norms which govern Eucharistic Exposition, Adoration, and Benediction are found primarily in the 1973 text from the Congregation for Divine Worship, Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside of Mass Chapter III: Forms of Worship of the Eucharist (HCWEOM). In addition, the USCCB’s Bishops’ Committee on the Liturgy published Thirty-One Questions on Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in 2004. Vocabulary The term “adoration” refers to prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, whether reserved in the tabernacle or exposed for veneration. Adoration by itself is an act of personal piety and not governed by liturgical norms. “Exposition,” the displaying of the Blessed Sacrament outside the tabernacle in a monstrance or ciborium for the veneration of the faithful, on the other hand, is a liturgical rite and is governed by its own norms. As part of the liturgical life of the Church, exposition never takes place simply for the private devotion of an individual. “Benediction” refers to the blessing given by a priest or deacon using the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance or ciborium. After Benediction, the Blessed Sacrament is reposed in the tabernacle. Ministers The ordinary ministers for Eucharistic Exposition are priests (presbyters and bishops) and deacons. They vest in alb (or cassock and surplice) and stole. If exposition takes place using a ciborium, they also wear the humeral veil for Benediction. If the monstrance is used, they use the humeral veil and wear a cope for the rite. Priests and deacons use incense as directed in the rite.

An altar server is a lay assistant to a member of the clergy during a religious service. An altar server attends to supporting tasks at the altar such as fetching and carrying, ringing bells, setting up, cleaning up, and so on. Until 1983, only young men whom the Church sometimes hoped to recruit for the priesthood and seminarians could serve at the altar, and thus altar boy was the usual term until Canon 230 was changed in the 1983 update to the Code of Canon which provided the option for local ordinaries (bishops) to permit females to serve at the altar. The term altar server is now widely used and accepted. When altar servers were only young men and seminarians the term acolyte was used. An acolyte is one of the instituted orders which is installed by a bishop. The title of acolyte is still only given to men as it is historically a minor order of ordained ministry. This term is now usually reserved for the ministry that all who are to be promoted to the diaconate receives at least six months before being ordained a deacon (c.

  • Respect Life- the Pro Life Guide for Parish Communities
    The Pro-Life Guide for Parish Communities Prepared by the Respect Life Office of the Archdiocese of Newark, New Jersey Cheryl A. Riley Patricia Decker Director Associate Director 973-497-4350 973-497-4348 [email protected] [email protected] Patricia Morales Spanish Coordinator 973-497-4350 option 2 [email protected] Fall 2019 Foreword You, the Parish Respect Life Representatives/Coordinators, are essential in building a culture of life. Parish Respect Life Coordinators and their Committees: provide resources to their communities on life issues, actively evangelize their fellow parishioners on the life issues, and support their pastor and priests in making pro-life prayer and activity visible and viable at the parish level. In coordination with the pastor, the Parish Respect Life Coordinator organizes and implements the efforts of the Bishops' Pastoral Plan for Pro Life Activities through four areas: prayer and worship, education, pastoral care, and public policy. Duties Read and become familiar with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Pastoral Plan for Pro Life Activities. Actively promoting a renewed respect for human life is the responsibility of every Catholic. The parish pro-life committee assists in a special way by helping to make the parish a center of life, a place where parishioners understand the issues and the importance of meeting the needs of those who are most vulnerable—especially mothers and their unborn children, and those who are seriously ill or dying and their families. It may be a distinct committee, or it might be a subcommittee of another parish organization. Whatever its structure, its membership should include representatives of both adult and youth parish groups, members of organizations that represent persons with disabilities, persons of minority cultures, and those responsible for education and pastoral care.

  • Final Statutes 2019
    STATUTES OF THE EPARCHY OF SAINT MARON OF BROOKLYN EPARCHY OF SAINT MARON OF BROOKLYN OFFICE OF THE BISHOP 109 Remsen Street Brooklyn, New York 11201-4212 Tel: (718) 237-9913 Fax: (718) 243-0444 [email protected] www.stmaron.org DECREE OF PROMULGATION Perfect justice and equity cannot be achieved in this world, but the Church throughout history has always sought to shepherd her children with practical precepts through Holy Councils and Sacred Canons. In recent times, to keep us on the path of light and good order, the Holy See has given us the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and having taken these into consideration, the Maronite Church has given us a code of Maronite Particular Law. For the sake of clarity, uniformity, and impartiality, the Statutes of the Eparchy of Saint Maron of Brooklyn have been formulated to guide the clergy, religious, and laity, in our Eparchial mission of sanctifying, teaching, and governing the Christian faithful in our Eparchy. These Statutes have been revised and reformulated based upon the precepts of the Holy Scriptures, and the norms established by the Holy See, the Maronite Church, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and prior Eparchial legislation. Also considered, were the customs of our Church in the United Sates and, perhaps most importantly, years of real pastoral experience. Sincere thanks and appreciation are extended to the priests on the committee who have compiled this work: Monsignor Peter Fahed Azar, Reverend Simon El Hajj, Reverend Vincent Farhat, Very Reverend Dominique Hanna, and Chorbishop Michael G.

  • Holy Hour for Peace in Our Communities.Pdf
    Holy Hour for Peace in Our Community – September 9, 2016 The following Holy Hour is a model on the ritual book Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist Outside of Mass, which should be followed in all respects. A recently published resource of the USCCB Committee on the Liturgy entitled, Thirty-One Questions on Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, may also be helpful. Whenever possible, the celebration of the Mass should open the period of exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. For Masses celebrated on September 9, celebrate the Memorial of St. Peter Claver with additional prayers from the Common of Holy Men and Women: For Those Who Practiced Works of Mercy. For Eucharistic Exposition in a monstrance, 4 to 6 candles should be lit at the altar, and incense is used. An altar cloth and corporal should be on the altar. Charcoal should be prepared in the thurible. The Lectionary should be prepared at the ambo and a script with the order and prayers for Eucharistic Exposition should be on hand for the celebrant. An accompanist, cantor, lector and three servers assist in the celebration of the liturgy. For the celebration of the Holy Hour, a good number of faithful are expected to participate in the liturgy. Opening the Period of Exposition When Mass is celebrated to begin the period of Eucharistic Exposition, the end of the Communion Rite is modified and the Concluding Rites of Mass are omitted as described here: • Following the reception of Holy Communion and when the vessels have been set aside, the monstrance is placed on the corporal.

  • Holy Thursday Preparation the Altar Is Prepared As for Feasts, with a White Chalice Veil, Missal Cover, and Tabernacle Veils
    The Holy Week Manual Volume 2 Holy Thursday Preparation The altar is prepared as for feasts, with a white chalice veil, Missal cover, and tabernacle veils. The altar cross is covered with white. The six candles are lit, and the missal is at the Epistle side. On the credence table, besides the regular things for Mass, is the rattle. On the table by the angel another chalice is placed, with a pall and paten, also the white silk veil for it and the white humeral veil. The processional cross, covered with purple, stands in the vestibule with the acolyte candles. On the side altar is the small canopy called the umbella. In the sacristy, white Mass vestments are laid out for the celebrant, and also a white cope. Mass High Mass follows as usual except that the Psalm Judica me Deus is omitted from the prayers at the foot of the altar as at funerals, and that during the Gloria in excelsis the bells are rung, then not again till Holy Saturday. At the Sanctus and elevation the rattle is sounded. After the Agnus Dei, the second Mc brings the second chalice, with its coverings, from the credence table and puts it on the altar. After his Communion, the celebrant puts the second consecrated Host into this chalice, lays the pall over the chalice, on the pall the paten up side down, and the veil over all. He uncovers the ciborium and genuflects. Mc 1 says the Confiteor, and Holy Communion is given as usual. After coming back to the altar the celebrant puts the ciborium in the tabernacle and closes it.
