Deacon Izzie worked for his uncle, Richard Pagan, who owns his own carpet cleaning business. He was employed with him all through college and spent six years working for him. Some of Deacon Izzie’s hobbies/interests are; drawing, playing sports (particularly basketball and soccer), superheroes, praise and worship style adoration, and family time. Family is so very important to Deacon Izzie, that his Chalice was handpicked by his parents and two sisters, and given as a gift from family in Puerto Rico, Chicago, New York, Alabama, and Florida. As for his call to the priesthood, Deacon Izzie said it was during his time of ministering to the youth and his own experience as a teen, that he was drawn to serve the Church, the people of God. He often quotes this, “It was during adoration at Camp Covecrest, that I heard the Lord say, ‘Just give it a year’.” As a seminarian for the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Izzie has served in the following parishes: St. Michael (Hudson), Incarnation (Tampa), and Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle (St. Petersburg).

  • The Holy Eucharist Rite One INTRODUCTION This Morning We Are Going to Depart from Our Usual Worship
    The Holy Eucharist Rite One INTRODUCTION This morning we are going to depart from our usual worship. As we celebrate the Holy Eucharist today, we are going to examine the different parts of the service and explain them as we go along. Our aim is to help us better understand the worship and help us to participate more fully in the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist is the principle act of Christian worship. As we proceed, we will pause for explanation of why we are doing what we are doing. There will be some historic and some theological explanations. This is a departure from our usual worship but hopefully it will help us all better appreciate and understand the richness of our liturgy. Vestments priest will vest as you talk The vestments the priest wears are derived from dress clothing of the late Roman Empire. The white outer garment is called an alb. It gets its name from the Latin word albus, which means white. It is derived from the commonest under garment in classical Italy, the tunic. It symbolizes purity, decency and propriety. It also represents being washed clean in the waters of baptism. The girdle or cincture is usually made of white linen or hemp. Functionally, it is for ease of movement when wearing the alb. Symbolically, it represents how we are all bound together in Christ. The stole was derived from a Roman ceremonial garland or scarf worn by Roman officials as an indication of his rank. Priests have worn the stole since at least the fourth century.

  • Kiss of Peace in the Roman Rite, Antiphon 14/1 (2010), 47
    1 Let Christ Give Me a Kiss 1 Sr. Joyce Ann Zimmerman, C.PP.S. Institute for Liturgical Ministry, Dayton, Ohio Only as an older child did I figure out that some of the folks I called “aunt” or “uncle” were not blood relatives at all, but were good friends of my parents whom we saw frequently. Another social convention in our home was that we kissed relatives and these close friends hello and goodbye. And maybe that’s why I considered the non-relatives part of the family: a warm, caring, secure relationship was evident from both relatives and close friends. This is what a kiss came to mean to me: a warm and welcome relationship. A kiss is an exchange between two persons, indicative of some kind of a relationship. Although much of society and the entertainment media limit the meaning of kissing to an erotic relationship, its meaning in times past and now includes more than sexual intimacy. If we are to have any understanding at all of a liturgical use of kissing, we must delve into the richness this gesture connotes. Universal Gesture, Many Meanings Kissing in one form or another seems to be a fairly universal gesture—but not always with the same meaning. Used more in the West than in the East, the Romans actually had three different Latin words for “kiss.” 2 Basium is a kiss between acquaintances, possibly linked to the Latin basis meaning foundation or basic. A kiss would be given as a social custom and perhaps used to seal an agreement.

  • The Mystery of the Mass: from “Greeting to Dismissal”
    The Mystery of the Mass: from “Greeting to Dismissal” Deacon Modesto R. Cordero Director Office of Worship [email protected] “Many Catholics have yet to understand what they are doing when they gather for Sunday worship or why liturgical participation demands social responsibility.” Father Keith Pecklers., S.J. Professor of liturgical history at the Pontifical Liturgical Institute of Saint’ Anselmo in Rome PURPOSE Sacrosanctum Concilium, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (SC) ◦ Second Vatican Council – December 4, 1963 ◦ Eucharist is the center of the life of the Church ◦ Called for the reformation of the liturgical rites ◦ Instruction of the faithful Full conscious and active participation Their right and duty by baptism (SC14) ◦ Revised for the 3rd time (English translation) Advent 2011 – Roman Missal The definition … “Mass” is … The Eucharist or principal sacramental celebration of the Church. Established by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper, in which the mystery of our salvation through participation in the sacrificial death and glorious resurrection of Christ is renewed and accomplished. The Mass renews the paschal sacrifice of Christ as the sacrifice offered by the Church.

  • SSMAC Family Sunday – the Kiss of Peace Biblical Origins
    SSMAC Family Sunday – The Kiss of Peace Biblical Origins In four of his letters to Christian communities, St. Paul uses a particular phrase to conclude his message. He tells these communities to “greet one another with a holy kiss.” (Romans 16:16, 1 Corinthians 16:20, 2 Corinthians 13:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:26) The idea of greeting with a holy kiss makes us think of many other biblical references to kisses. One such reference is from the psalms where we are told in reference to salvation, that “mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.” (Psalm 84:11) Christ, being named both the Sun of Righteousness (Malachi 4:2) and the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6), is the fulfillment of this promise that righteousness and peace will be joined for our salvation, and so spreading the kiss of Christ’s peace is a further expression of this gospel. Even more fundamentally, the human species is granted life by a type of a kiss. In Genesis 2:7, God creates man by “breathing into his face the breath of life.” And yet again, after Christ rises from the dead, having finished re-creating humanity, he greets the disciples with the greeting “Peace be unto you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive the Holy Spirit.” (John 20:21-22) In ancient times, the act of a kiss was used to end a legal conflict and was shared as a mark of reconciliation.

I will examine the various parts of the mass before and after Vatican II. I will visit a traditional mass (pre-Vatican II) to determine its usefulness in today‟s world. I will look at past traditions swept aside post Vatican II and determine if these traditions still hold value to Catholic‟s today. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract of the Capstone ii Table of Contents iii I.

  • The Kiss of Peace
    Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce Positio N. 19 THE KISS OF PEACE JUNE 2014 From the General Introduction These papers, commissioned by the International Federation Una Voce , are offered to stimulate and inform debate about the 1962 Missal among Catholics ‘attached to the ancient Latin liturgical tradition’, and others interested in the liturgical renewal of the Church. They are not to be taken to imply personal or moral criticism of those today or in the past who have adopted practices or advocated reforms which are subjected to criticism. In composing these papers we adopt the working assumption that our fellow Catholics act in good will, but that nevertheless a vigorous and well-informed debate is absolutely necessary if those who act in good will are to do so in light of a proper understanding of the issues. The authors of the papers are not named, as the papers are not the product of any one person, and also because we prefer them to be judged on the basis of their content, not their authorship. The International Federation Una Voce humbly submits the opinions contained in these papers to the judgement of the Church. The Kiss of Peace: Abstract The Kiss of Peace or Pax, in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, before the Agnus Dei, in its fullest form in Missa Solemnis, involves the celebrant kissing the Altar, and passing the Peace of Christ from Christ, represented by the Altar and the Consecrated Host upon the Altar, to the other Sacred Ministers, and others in the Sanctuary, with a light embrace.
