The Order of Celebrating Mass and Divine Office According to the Calendar of the Diocese of Hallam Ordo 1 ORDO THE ORDER OF CELEBRATING MASS AND DIVINE OFFICE ACCORDING TO THE CALENDAR OF THE DIOCESE OF HALLAM FOR THE LITURGICAL YEAR 2020-2021 2 Ordo - Introductory notes INTRODUCTORY NOTES VARIOUS PARTS OF THE MASS 1. The Gloria is sung (said) on Sundays (outside Advent and Lent), on solemnities and on feasts, during the octaves of Christmas and Easter and at special solemn celebrations. 2 There is only ever one Collect, Prayer over the Gifts, and Prayer after Communion. Mention of any other need or anniversary is made in the Prayer of the Faithful. 3 The weekday readings ought to be used on their appointed days, except when there occurs a solemnity, a feast, or a memorial with proper readings. The priest may add the weekday readings which have been thus omitted to the readings of the previous or following days (provided that the sense is retained) in order that continuity be preserved. He may also choose between the readings omitted. In Masses for special groups it is permissible for the priest to choose readings more appropriate to the group, provided that the readings are taken from among those of the approved lectionary. 4. The Creed is said on all Sundays and solemnities, and also on special occasions. 5. In Masses which have a proper Preface it is not permitted to use a Eucharistic Prayer (e.g. Eucharistic Prayer 4) having an obligatory Preface which affects the unity of that Eucharistic Prayer. An exception is made in Lent where a Lenten weekday preface may be used with a Eucharistic Prayer for Reconciliation. 6. It is highly appropriate that the faithful receive Holy Communion from Hosts consecrated at the same Mass, and that, as permitted, they also receive from the chalice. In this way their sharing in the Sacrifice being celebrated is more apparent.(see also page 4) MASS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE PARISH The Parish Priest is obliged to offer Mass for the people in his care each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. If he is lawfully unable to do this, the Mass must be celebrated on the appropriate day by another priest or on a different day by himself. If the priest has care of more than one parish, one Mass offered for all the people in his care suffices. The days of obligation are indicated in the Ordo by a cross: + (see also page 11) MASS FOR THE DEAD 1. A Funeral Mass may be celebrated on any day except Holy Days of Obligation, Holy Thursday and the Easter Triduum, and Sundays of Advent, Lent and Eastertide. 2. A Mass for the Dead may be celebrated on the news of death and on the first anniversary of death even on the days of the Christmas Octave on which no feast occurs, obligatory memorials, and all weekdays (including Advent, Christmastide, Lent and Eastertide) except Ash Wednesday, Holy Week and the Easter Octave. 3. The 'daily' Mass for the Dead may be celebrated only on Weekdays of Ordinary Time when there is no obligatory memorial. 4. In Masses for the Dead purple vestments are preferred to black. White may be used at funerals. MASSES FOR VARIOUS NEEDS AND VOTIVE MASSES 1. Given the facility of choice in selecting prayers and readings at Mass, Masses for Various Needs and Votive Masses should be celebrated only when a genuine pastoral need exists. In these Masses the weekday readings and chants may always be used, unless they are not apt for the particular celebration. 2. Ritual Masses, connected to the celebration of a sacrament or sacramental, are not permitted on the Sundays of Advent, Lent and Eastertide, on solemnities, during the Easter Octave, on All Souls Day, Ash Wednesday and during Holy Week, unless the contrary is indicated in the Ritual or in the particular Ritual Mass. Ordo - Introductory notes 3 3. A Mass for a genuine necessity or for the pastoral good (e.g. the First Friday Mass) may be celebrated with the people even when there is an obligatory memorial or Advent weekday (before 17th December), during Christmastide (from 2nd January) and Eastertide (except the Octave) when a Votive Mass would not normally be permitted. 4. When Marriage takes place during Mass the Wedding Mass is celebrated, except on Sundays and solemnities, when the Mass of the day is celebrated (the Nuptial Blessing and final Blessing from the Wedding Mass being retained). One of the readings at Mass may always be taken from the selection for Marriage except on Easter Sunday and on Holy Days of Obligation. The Wedding Mass may be celebrated even on Sundays of Christmastide and of Ordinary Time if the parish community is not taking part. SUMMARY OF RUBRICS GOVERNING RITUAL MASSES, MASSES FOR VARIOUS NEEDS AND OCCASIONS, AND MASSES FOR THE DEAD Abbreviations V1 = Ritual Masses (General Instruction of the Roman Missal #330), and Masses for Various Needs and Occasions and votive Masses, in cases of serious need or pastoral advantage, at the discretion of the local Ordinary, or with his permission.

Days of penance for all the Latin Church are all Fridays and the Season of Lent. 2. Abstinence from meat, or from some other food determined by the Episcopal Conference, is to be observed on all Fridays, except when a solemnity falls on a Friday. Abstinence and fasting are to be observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. 3. All are bound by the law of abstinence who have reached the age of fourteen. The law of fasting applies to all who have attained their majority (18) until after their fifty-ninth birthday. Pastors of souls and parents should ensure that even those who are too young to be bound by the laws of fasting and abstinence are trained to have a true appreciation of penance. 4. The Episcopal Conference may substitute other forms of penance (e.g. works of charity, devotional exercises) in place of abstinence or fasting. HOLY COMMUNION a) The Fast 1. Whoever is to receive the blessed Eucharist is to abstain for at least one hour before holy communion from all food and drink, except water and medicine, whether liquid or solid. 2. A priest who, on the same day, celebrates the blessed Eucharist twice or three times may consume something before the second or third celebration, even though there is not an hour's interval. 3. The elderly and those who are suffering from some illness, as well as those who have care for them, may receive the blessed Eucharist even if within the preceding hour they have consumed something. b) The Easter Precept Once admitted to the blessed Eucharist, each of the faithful is obliged to receive holy communion at least once a year. This precept must be fulfilled during paschal time, unless for good reason it is fulfilled at some other time of the year. c) Other Matters 1. Anyone who is conscious of grave sin may not receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without previously having been to sacramental confession, unless there is a grave reason and there is no opportunity to confess; in this case the person is to remember the obligation to make a perfect act of contrition, which includes the resolve to go to confession as soon as possible. 2. One who has received the blessed Eucharist may receive it a second time on the same day only within a Mass in which the person participates. 3. It is primarily the duty of parents and of those who take their place, as it is the duty of the parish priest, to ensure that children who have reached the age of reason are properly prepared and, having made their sacramental confession, are nourished by this divine food as soon as possible. It is also the duty of the parish priest to see that children who have not reached the age of reason, or whom he has judged to be insufficiently disposed, do not come to holy communion.

  • Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature
    Bernadette Filotas PAGAN SURVIVALS, SUPERSTITIONS AND POPULAR CULTURES IN EARLY MEDIEVAL PASTORAL LITERATURE Is medieval pastoral literature an accurate reflection of actual beliefs and practices in the early medieval West or simply of literary conventions in- herited by clerical writers? How and to what extent did Christianity and traditional pre-Christian beliefs and practices come into conflict, influence each other, and merge in popular culture? This comprehensive study examines early medieval popular culture as it appears in ecclesiastical and secular law, sermons, penitentials and other pastoral works – a selective, skewed, but still illuminating record of the be- liefs and practices of ordinary Christians. Concentrating on the five cen- turies from c. 500 to c. 1000, Pagan Survivals, Superstitions and Popular Cultures in Early Medieval Pastoral Literature presents the evidence for folk religious beliefs and piety, attitudes to nature and death, festivals, magic, drinking and alimentary customs. As such it provides a precious glimpse of the mu- tual adaptation of Christianity and traditional cultures at an important period of cultural and religious transition.

  • The Venerable Bede Ecclesiastical History of England (731 A.D.)1
    1 Primary Source 3.2 THE VENERABLE BEDE ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND (731 A.D.)1 The Anglo-Saxon monk and author, known to posterity as the Venerable Bede (c. 672– 735), was apparently a deeply spiritual man described as constantly praising God, even at the last moments of his life, when he could scarcely breathe. A learned scholar with broad knowledge of ancient and early medieval theology and secular writings, he wrote a huge number of works on theology, biblical commentary, the lives of saints, and secular and religious history. His most famous work, excerpted here, recounts the historical development of Britain with a focus on the vibrant evolution of the church. The passage below concerns the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons from paganism to Christianity. Key themes are the care with which missionaries sought to transform customs without giving offense, Christian humility, and how the converts’ belief in miracles wrought in the name of Christ facilitated their conversion.

BOOK I CHAPTER XVII How Germanus the Bishop,2 sailing into Britain with Lupus,3 first quelled the tempest of the sea, and afterwards that of the Pelagians, by Divine power. [429 A.D.] Some few years before their arrival, the Pelagian heresy,4 brought over by Agricola, the son of Severianus, a Pelagian bishop, had corrupted with its foul taint the faith of the Britons. But whereas they absolutely refused to embrace that perverse doctrine, and blaspheme the grace of Christ, yet were not able of themselves to confute the subtilty of the unholy belief by force of argument, they bethought them of wholesome counsels and determined to crave aid of the Gallican5 prelates in that spiritual warfare.

    Constantine in Scriptural Mode: John Foxe’s “Magisterial” Revisions to Acts and Monuments’ Second Edition (1570) by Wesley Miles Goudy A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology awarded by Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright by Wesley Miles Goudy 2018 Constantine in Scriptural Mode: John Foxe’s “Godly” Magisterial Revisions to Acts and Monuments Second Edition (1570) Wesley Miles Goudy Doctor of Theology Wycliffe College and the University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This project explores a new vision of the Protestant magistrate as represented in the alterations which John Foxe made to his Ecclesiastical History, in Acts and Monuments’ second edition (1570), a highly influential and controversial work which has been credited with shaping the course of English historiography from the Reformation to the Victorian era. The work has also been read in abridged form under the title Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Foxe made incremental revisions to the work, which began as a 1554 Latin martyrology and ended in a fourth 1583 revision to this English-language ecclesiastical history, still known by the title Acts and Monuments. Yet relatively little scholarship has been devoted to explicating the nature and motivation for Foxe’s revisions, beyond his effort to provide literary and historical support for the English Reformation in the face of Roman Catholic opposition. The most significant revisions appear between the first and second editions of Acts and ii Monuments (1563, 1570), resulting in a textual expansion of some 500 pages.

NEW YORK: E & J. B.YOUNG AND CO. 1898. PREFACE. A great mass of material has of late years been brought within reach of the student, bearing upon the history of the religious life and customs of the English people during the period from their conversion, in the sixth and seventh centuries, down to the Reformation of the Church of England in the sixteenth century; but this material is still to be found only in great libraries, and is therefore hardly within reach of the general reader. The following chapters contain the results of some study of the subject among the treasures of the library of the British Museum; much of those results, it is believed, will be new, and all, it is hoped, useful, to the large number of general readers who happily, in these days, take an intelligent interest in English Church history.

  • St Cuthbert Part 1 Saint Cuthbert (634-687) Generally Cuthbert (C
    St Cuthbert Part 1 Saint Cuthbert (634-687) Generally Cuthbert (c. 634 – 20 March 687) is a saint of the early Northumbrian church in the Celtic tradition. He was a monk, bishop and hermit, associated with the monasteries of Melrose and Lindisfarne in what might loosely be termed the Kingdom of Northumbria. After his death he became one of the most important medieval saints of Northern England, with a cult centred on his tomb at Durham Cathedral. Cuthbert is regarded as the patron saint of Northern England. His feast day is 20 March (Catholic Church and Church of England), Stained glass depicting St Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, from Gloucester Cathedral History of the St Cuthbert era Lots of small areas ruled by Kings.

King Edwin: Converted to Christianity in 627, which was slowly followed by the rest of his People. The politics of the kingdom were violent, and there were later episodes of pagan rule, spreading understanding of Christianity through the kingdom was a task that lasted throughout Cuthbert's lifetime. Edwin had been baptised by Paulinus of York, an Italian who had come with the Gregorian mission from Rome.
