  • Dominican Rite Practicum
    LSFT 2405 Dominican Rite Practicum Prepared by the Instructor 2020 Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology Fall 2020 LSFT 2405 First Meeting: Saturday, 9/5, SAP Library, 7:30 pm Dominican Rite Practicum Instructor: Fr. Augustine Thompson O.P. Office Hours: TBA at St. Albert’s Priory Course Description This course is a 1.5 unit graded liturgical practicum open to Dominican friar students, normally after residency year, best in the year of deaconal or priestly ordination. The goal is to acquire the ability to celebrate Low Mass and Missa Cantata according to the traditional Dominican Rite in Latin. The outcome will be a correct and fluid "dry Mass" celebration of the Dominican Rite Low Mass and of the Missa Cantata. These two exercises will in equal parts provide the two graded "exams" of the course. The format will be a practicum in which students perform the rite under the direction of the instructor. Admission to the Class Dominican friars who would like to be admitted to the class need to arrange an interview with the instructor. At the interview they will be asked to recite from memory the texts found on the next page. This memorization is not-negotiable and will serve to prove that the student is ready to undertake the heavy memorization element of the class. As this class is only open to Western Dominican Province student brothers it will be held at St. Albert’s with social distancing. Required Books and Materials William R.

  • Understanding When to Kneel, Sit and Stand at a Traditional Latin Mass
    UNDERSTANDING WHEN TO KNEEL, SIT AND STAND AT A TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS __________________________ A Short Essay on Mass Postures __________________________ by Richard Friend I. Introduction A Catholic assisting at a Traditional Latin Mass for the first time will most likely experience bewilderment and confusion as to when to kneel, sit and stand, for the postures that people observe at Traditional Latin Masses are so different from what he is accustomed to. To understand what people should really be doing at Mass is not always determinable from what people remember or from what people are presently doing. What is needed is an understanding of the nature of the liturgy itself, and then to act accordingly. When I began assisting at Traditional Latin Masses for the first time as an adult, I remember being utterly confused with Mass postures. People followed one order of postures for Low Mass, and a different one for Sung Mass. I recall my oldest son, then a small boy, being thoroughly amused with the frequent changes in people’s postures during Sung Mass, when we would go in rather short order from standing for the entrance procession, kneeling for the preparatory prayers, standing for the Gloria, sitting when the priest sat, rising again when he rose, sitting for the epistle, gradual, alleluia, standing for the Gospel, sitting for the epistle in English, rising for the Gospel in English, sitting for the sermon, rising for the Credo, genuflecting together with the priest, sitting when the priest sat while the choir sang the Credo, kneeling when the choir reached Et incarnatus est etc.

  • A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
    A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.

  • Dominican Rite Mass Saint Dominic Celebrating Mass the Ordinary of the Mass According to the Dominican Rite
    THE DOMINICAN RITE MASS SAINT DOMINIC CELEBRATING MASS THE ORDINARY OF THE MASS ACCORDING TO THE DOMINICAN RITE Latin-English Dominican Liturgy Publications 2011 © Western Dominican Province 2011 All rights reserved. Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus Order of Friars Preachers 5877 Birch Court Oakland, CA 94618-1626 Edited and prepared by Fr. Augustini Thompson, O.P., S.T.M. PREFACE Most Catholics know the liturgy of the Roman Rite. Relatively few know about the Dominican Rite, the liturgy of the Order of Preachers. When Saint Pius V, promulgated the missal of the Roman Rite for the entire Latin Church by Quo Primum in 1570, he exempted rites over three hundred years old, which included the liturgy of the Dominican Order. Thus it has existed till this day. The Dominican Rite arose after from Order’s worship as canons regular, that is, a community of priests living regular life, performing the public liturgy, and doing the apostolic work of preaching and teaching. Originally customs of local dioceses were followed, but the uses of Paris and Bologna, the major centers of study, were dominant. The “Commission of the Four Friars” finally produced a single standardized rite, approved by the General Chapter of 1246. The result followed the uses of northern France, southern England and the Baltic regions. Although generally satisfactory, a revision the friars’ work was requested from the Master of the Order Humbert of Romans, whose corrections were approved by the General Chapter of 1256. Humber’s version of the Dominican Mass remained, with minor revisions, that of the Order until after Vatican II, when, by a rescript of the Sacred Congregation of Rites on June 2, 1969, the Order adopted the Post- Vatican II Roman Rite.

  • THE MASS and CATHOLIC UNITY “You Can Catch More Flies with Honey Than Vinegar.” I Recall Hearing This Proverb Bantered Around My Family’S Home
    “SOURCE AND SUMMIT”: THE MASS AND CATHOLIC UNITY “You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.” I recall hearing this proverb bantered around my family’s home. My initial response was, “Why would I want to catch any flies?” Actually, flies are more attracted to vinegar, even though more easily caught with honey! Of course, all this misses the point! In seeking to accomplish something, sweetness is more effective than acidity, kindness more than harshness. Admittedly an unusual introduction for a column, as it concerns a form of the Mass that represents only a small percentage of all Catholic Masses on any given Sunday– the traditional Mass, celebrated according to the 1962 Roman Missal. I wasn’t even born when that Missal was promulgated, and yet 1962 remains a flashpoint amongst liturgists. Why? Because it was the last edition of the venerable Roman Missal (promulgated at the Council of Trent) before the liturgical reforms of Vatican II. The U.S. Latin Mass Directory lists 657 churches/oratories in which the 1962 Missal is offered currently. According to a 2018 Pew Research Survey (my “go-to” survey folks), based on a figure of 17,000 U.S. parishes, approximately 3.8 % of all churches host a Traditional Latin Mass. (henceforth TLM) Since 32,242 priests currently serve in the U.S., thus, on any given Sunday just 2% of priests offer the TLM. The point is clear–by sheer numbers, it attracts a tiny percentage of the faithful. This is by no means a criticism. But by all accounts, the movement is growing and deserves our pastoral solicitude.
