SHC 462 Page 3 Statement from The Archdiocese of New York on Mass Attendance In light of the serious health risks to vulnerable populations, and mindful of the instructions of medical professionals, the Archdiocese of New York has urged the faithful to use their prudential judgment on whether or not to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days during the coronavirus outbreak. This is in keeping with the teaching of the Church, which has always exempted those with serious medical issues which would prohibit them from attending Mass, as well as for all people in times of general emergencies. This is especially true during this coronavirus outbreak, particularly for adults over the age of 60, people with underlying medical conditions, and family members of such individuals, who should take special care in discerning the best course of action. At this time, while Mass will continue to be offered publicly in most cases, contingent on emergency restrictions regard- ing large gatherings. Those who do attend Mass are reminded that they should follow the guidelines in place, such as receiving Holy Communion reverently in the hand, not receiving the Precious Blood, being sure to wash hands/use san- itizer before and after Mass, and avoiding physical contact with or close proximity to other persons.

  • Palm Sunday Holy Thursday Good Friday Vigil Easter

    Palm Sunday Holy Thursday Good Friday Vigil Easter

    Palm Sunday Holy Thursday Good Friday Vigil Easter Triduum Tri Triduum Holy Week The Triduum– Holy Thursday Lent ends on the evening of Holy Thursday with the celebration of the liturgy called, Holy Thursday, Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper. On the morning of Holy Thursday the Chrism Mass is celebrated by the bishop of each diocese. For pas- toral reasons it may be celebrated on a day prior to Holy Thursday. In the Chrism Mass the bishop, concelebrating Mass with the priests in his diocese, blesses oils and consecrates the oil mixed with chrism. The blessing of the oils is an ancient tradition dating back to Hippolytus and the Apostolic Tradition of the third centu- ry. Two oils are blessed: oil of catechumens and oil of the infirmed; one oil is consecrated: Sacred Chrism. The Triduum– Holy Thursday The Easter Triduum is the “mother of all feasts”. All other feasts of the liturgical year hinge on this great feast. The Triduum, which means, “three days”, is the word designated for the celebration of the Lord’s paschal mystery that spans three days; it is one great liturgy that lasts three days. There is no formal closing to the Holy Thursday or Good Friday liturgies as each is a continuation of the pre- vious one until the liturgy culminates with the Easter Vigil. The Triduum begins with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, continues with the celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday, culminates with the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, and ends on Easter Sunday at sundown.
  • St. James Community of Faith the Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016

    St. James Community of Faith the Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016

    St. James Community of Faith The Ministry of Acolyte Fall, 2016 Ministry, is first of all, receiving God’s blessing from those to whom we minister. What is this blessing? It is a glimpse of the face of God. ~Henri Nouwen Acolyte Ministry You are volunteering as a server at church. You light candles, hold the books, handle the vessels, and arrange the cloths. You help the other ministers focus on their work by simplifying their motions and eliminating distractions. You help the entire community celebrate Eucharist by your humble service. Your actions may seem routine, but everyone depends on you to do them without flash. When you serve well, no one notices you. People only notice when things go awry. Still, the Church relies on the assistance of adult servers. Whether in parishes, convents, monasteries, or chapels, adults serve Mass. They join in the prayer, and they assure the smooth execution of the liturgy. 1. Theology and History of the Server The word Eucharist means "thanksgiving". It comes from a Greek word. To this day, when modern Greeks say, "Thank you," they say Eucharisto." It is one of the most used words in the language. Mass is an act of thanksgiving. Through it we call to mind the great deeds God has done for us, and we express our gratitude for them. We do this especially in the prayers. The word Mass means "sending". It comes from the Latin words that conclude the service: Ite, missa est. It has been translated many ways, such as "Co forth, the Mass is ended." Or, more freely, "Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life." "Go, you have been sent." We call this part of Mass the dismissal, but it is not just a "sending from." It is a "sending to." We are not just ending our time of prayer together.
  • Easter Vigil

    Easter Vigil

    THE GREAT VIGIL OF EASTER LITURGICAL NOTES Because this liturgy is celebrated only once a year, and because it is unlike any other, it requires careful preparation. This will include not only the necessary liturgical items (fire, Paschal candle, candles, water, oil, etc.) but also of services sheets, music and so on. It is recommended that the service sheets for the people be as simple as possible. It might include music, hymnody and the like, when they occur within the liturgy, rather than moving from one book(let) to another. Ministers and servers should rehearse, as should readers and musicians, especially as lighting for the first half of the liturgy will be very different from normal. The book for the presider needs to be prepared well in advance, and it is advisable for it to contain only the liturgical texts needed for this particular celebration. The liturgical colour is white or gold. Order of the Vigil The Great Vigil consists of four parts: the Service of Light; the Ministry of the Word; the Ministry of Baptism, Confirmation, Reception and Renewal, together with renewal of Baptismal promises; and the celebration of the Easter Eucharist. Over the centuries these elements have been arranged in various ways. The order as provided here is the most common, although it is often used with the Ministry of the Word and the Service of Light reversed. To begin with the Ministry of the Word suggests that the readings from the Hebrew (Old) Testament are preparatory to the presence of Christ. To begin with the Service of light suggests that all we do is seen in the light of the presence of the risen Christ.

  • Lent, Triduum & Easter

    Lent, Triduum & Easter

    LENT, TRIDUUM & EASTER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS The Diocese of Madison Office of Worship February 4, 2016 LENT May the Eucharistic Prayers for Reconciliation be prayed during Mass on the Sundays of Lent? Yes. The Roman Missal states that these are particularly appropriate during Lent. There are no restrictions regarding their use on Sundays except that the proper Lenten Sunday Preface must be used. For more in- formation see the section in the Roman Missal where the Eucharist Prayers for Reconciliation are located. Are baptisms permitted during Lent? Yes. According to the Rite of Baptism for Children, infants are to be baptized within the first weeks after birth (8.3) and, of course, baptism when one is in danger of death may happen on any day. The Rite fur- ther states, “To bring out the paschal character of baptism, it is recommended that the sacrament be cele- brated during the Easter Vigil or on a Sunday (9).” If celebrated on a Sunday in Lent or Easter, the Mass proper to that Sunday is used. Since Easter seems a particularly appropriate time for baptism, with the par- ents permission you may wish to celebrate the baptism on a Sunday of Easter, especially during Mass (9). Other restrictions regarding ritual Masses are noted in The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM), no. 372. Are weddings permitted during Lent? Yes. Wedding Masses are permitted with the exception of those days noted in GIRM 372. (also see The Rite of Marriage, 11). On days when the wedding Mass is not allowed, the Rite of Marriage Outside of Mass may be used.
  • Paschal Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom

    Paschal Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom

    The Paschal Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom THE PREPARATION AND OPENING DIALOGUE The priest and deacon stand together before the holy table, the priest in the center and the deacon at his place at the southwest corner. The priest with hands uplifted says the following prayer while the deacon lifts his orarion. Priest: Christ is risen from the dead trampling down death by death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life. The priest and deacon make three metanias while the priest says: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men. (twice) O Lord, thou shaft open my lips, and my mouth shall declare thy praise, (once) The priest then kisses the gospel book and the holy table, while the deacon kisses only the southwest corner of the holy table. The deacon then bows his head to the priest and holding his orarion with three fingers on his right hand says: Deacon: It is time for the Lord to act. Bless, master. The priest makes the sign of the cross over the deacons head, saying: Priest: Blessed is our God, always now and ever and unto ages of ages. Deacon: Amen. Pray for me, master. Priest: The Lord direct thy steps unto every good work. 696 Great and Holy Pascha Deacon: Remember me, holy master. Blessing the deacon, the priest says: Priest: The Lord God remember thee in his kingdom, always now and ever and unto ages of ages. Deacon: Amen. Having kissed the priests hand, the deacon exits the sanctuary, passing the high place, through the north door.
  • The Paschal Candle: Its Principal Features and Their Spiritual Significance

    The Paschal Candle: Its Principal Features and Their Spiritual Significance

    The Paschal Candle: Its Principal Features and Their Spiritual Significance INTRODUCTION The term During the blessed Eastertide more and more of those Lutheran churches which have not altogether capitulated to the iconoclastic barrenness of the Protestant sects are following the ancient and laudable custom of featuring what is known as The Paschal Candle (“Paschal”, pronounced pass-kul, is another word for “Easter”). The object referred to Fittingly blessed during the solemnities of Holy Saturday, this candle, for the greatest part made of beeswax, is exposed to view on the Gospel side of the altar (the left side, facing it) until Ascension Thursday. During that time it is lighted for public wor- ship (except during requiem services for the dead and devotions conducted with violet vestments and paraments), and is extinguished after The Gospel on the day which com- memorates Our Lord’s return to Heaven. The candle is richly ornamented with Christian symbolism, sometimes in striking color. Its most significant embellishment consists of five cavities in the form of a cross near its base, wherein are placed five grains of incense during its consecration each year. The candle stands exposed on a special pedestal, usually richly carved and often of imposing size: candle and stand in some European churches reach a height of forty feet. The Paschal Candle constitutes an inspiring gift which a parishioner might well present to his congregation in memory of someone already asleep with The Sign of Faith. Its nature Uninformed Lutherans, upon seeing or hearing about this object, naturally ask: “What is it? What is the idea behind it? What is the value of The Paschal Candle?” Those questions can be answered in very simple terms.

    Liturgy Advisory Lent Easter 2018

    Office of Liturgy LITURGY ADVISORY FOR THE SEASONS OF LENT AND EASTER 2018 The Season of Lent The annual observance of Lent is the special season for the ascent to the holy mountain of Easter. Through its twofold theme of repentance and baptism, the season of Lent disposes both the catechumens and the faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery. Catechumens are led to the sacraments of initiation by means of the Rite of Election, the Scrutinies, and catechesis. The faithful, listening more intently to the word of God and devoting themselves to prayer, are prepared through a spirit of repentance to renew their baptismal promises. (Ceremonial of Bishops, 249) Regulations for Fasting and Abstinence The following may be reproduced in parish bulletins for the purpose of reminding the faithful of the regulations for fast and abstinence: Fasting is to be observed by all 18 years of age and older, who have not yet celebrated their 59th birthday. On a fast day one full meal is allowed. Two other meals, sufficient to maintain strength, may be taken according to each one's needs, but together they should not equal another full meal. Eating between meals is not permitted, but liquids, including milk and juices, are allowed. Abstinence is observed by all 14 years of age and older. On days of abstinence no meat is allowed. Note that when health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the law does not oblige. When in doubt concerning fast and abstinence, the parish priest should be consulted. Ash Wednesday, February 14, 2018 and Good Friday, March 30, 2018 are days of fast and abstinence.
  • Deacons' Customary

    Deacons' Customary

    A Customary for Deacons The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri Introduction This customary sets out guidelines for the role of deacons in liturgies, both in the local worshiping communities, and in diocesan liturgies, e.g. ordinations and confirmations. These should be considered norms for the liturgy. It has been approved by Bishop Deon and by the Community of Deacons for use in the diocese. The Deacon in the Liturgy--General Guidelines The Book of Common Prayer clearly establishes three distinct functions of a deacon in the liturgy: § Proclamation of the Gospel § Preparation of the Eucharistic Table § The Dismissal § Bidding the Confession § Bidding the Creed § Bidding the Prayers of the People If there is a deacon in a worshipping community, the deacon should carry out these functions in the Sunday liturgies and all major feasts and celebrations. The deacon is expected to serve in weekday liturgies as her/his schedule permits. Vestments The usual vestments for a deacon in celebrations of the Holy Eucharist are alb, dalmatic, and deacon’s stole in the appropriate liturgical color. If the worshiping community has dalmatics that match its chasubles, the deacon wears that dalmatic. If the worshiping community does not have matching vestments, a plain ivory or white dalmatic with the stole worn on the outside is appropriate and preferred. **Deacons are not required to own dalmatics.** In liturgies without a Eucharist, the deacon may wear an alb with deacon’s stole, or a cassock, surplice, and deacon’s stole. If the deacon is officiating at Morning or Evening Prayer, she/he may wear cassock and surplice with deacon’s stole, tippet, or academic hood.
