  • The Offertory Our Firstfruits the Offertory
    God. For in a sense when we offer our gifts at the Altar, we are actually offering ourselves. Our money is a part of ourselves, what we have earned, what we have la- bored for. And thus the offering of our possessions be- comes the offering of our very beings. But if we think of our offering in the Service as a sacrifice of ourselves, then we will also want to carry out this sacrifice in our daily lives—otherwise the offering of our possessions would be only hypocrisy. Furthermore, when we offer at the Altar, we are offer- ing in union with our Lord Jesus Christ—offering our imperfect sacrifices in union with the perfect Sacrifice of His Body and Blood, which He offered to His heavenly Father. For it is only because of His perfect Sacrifice that our sacrifices are of any value. The Offertory Our Firstfruits The Offertory Finally, our offering is to be the firstfruits of our la- bor—not what happens to be left over after all of our bills and debts have been paid. But our offering at the Altar ought to be a sacrifice of the first and the best we can give. If we Christians would consider our offerings in this way—as a fulfillment of our Royal Priesthood, a privi- lege, and a sacrifice of our firstfruits, then we would more readily offer ourselves, our bodies, and souls and I N C A R N A T E W O R D T R A C T S E R I E S all things as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God - 2 4 - through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    THE HOLY MASS OF THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL in Latin and English for the Solemn Celebration of the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite at St. John the Beloved Catholic Church in McLean, Virginia “Particular law remaining in force, the use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin rites.” (Vatican II, Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 36) “Steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them.” (Vatican II, Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 50) “Pastors of souls should take care that besides the vernacular ‘the faith- ful may also be able to say or sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them.”’ (Sacred Congregation of Rites, Musicam sacram (1967), n. 47) “The Roman Church has special obligations towards Latin, the splen- did language of ancient Rome, and she must manifest them whenever the occasion presents itself.” (John Paul II, Dominicae cenae (1980), n. 10) “Mass is celebrated either in Latin or in another language, provided that liturgical texts are used which have been approved according to the norm of law. Except in the case of celebrations of the Mass that are scheduled by the ecclesiastical authorities to take place in the language of the people, Priests are always and everywhere permitted to celebrate Mass in Latin.” (Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Redemptionis Sacramentum (2004), n. 112) “I ask that future priests, from their time in the seminary, receive the preparation needed to understand and to celebrate Mass in Latin, and also to use Latin texts and execute Gregorian chant; nor should we for- get that the faithful can be taught to recite the more common prayers in Latin, and also to sing parts of the liturgy to Gregorian chant.” (Bene- dict XVI, Sacramentum caritatis (2007), n.

  • The Offertory (Form I)
    The Offertory (Form I) Having prepared sufficient bread for communion, the Priest takes the paten with the bread and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice: Receive, O holy Father, almighty and everlasting God, this spotless host, which I, thine unworthy servant, now offer unto thee, my living and true God, for my numberless sins, offences, and negligences; for all here present; as also for the faithful in Christ, both the quick and the dead, that it may avail for their salvation and mine, unto life everlasting. Amen. Then making a cross with the paten, he places the paten with the bread upon the corporal. The Deacon pours wine and a little water into the chalice, the Priest first blessing with the sign of the cross the water to be mixed in the chalice, saying: O God , who didst wondrously create, and yet more wondrously renew the dignity of man’s nature: Grant that by the mystery of this water and wine we may be made partakers of his divinity, as he vouchsafed to become partaker of our humanity, even Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen. Then he takes the chalice, and offers it, slightly elevating it and saying in a low voice: We offer unto thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, beseeching thy mercy, that it may ascend in the sight of thy divine majesty as a sweet smelling savour for our salvation, and for that of the whole world.

  • Eucharist and the Ethics of Sacrifice and Self-Giving Offertory Exemplified
    chapter 6 Eucharist and the Ethics of Sacrifice and Self-Giving Offertory Exemplified Bernd Wannenwetsch The offering of the gifts of the faithful at the altar was widespread in all major traditions of the Western and Eastern church as a liturgical act in its own right, a station of the Early Church’s Eucharistic worship. What knowledge we have of the ancient offertory rite we owe to studies of figures like the Jesuit liturgist Josef Andreas Jungmann1 and the Anglican Benedictine Gregory Dix.2 Their archaeological work in the field of early liturgy was undertaken in a reforming spirit: to help the churches of their day reconnect with the rich ritual traditions that they had lost touch with and regain a sense of what Dix called the “shape” of the Eucharistic liturgy. 1 Josef A. Jungmann, Vom Sinn der Messe als Opfer der Gemeinschaft (Einsiedeln: Johannes Ver- lag, 1955); Missarum Sollemnia: Eine genetische Erklärung der römischen Messe, vol. 1 and 2, 5th ed. (Wien: Herder, 1962). 2 Gregory Dix, The Shape of the Liturgy (London: A&C Black, 1945). Dix’s seminal study provoked controversy from the beginning. While some of his claims (such as about the original position of the celebrant at the altar or about Cranmer’s alleged Zwinglianism) have been superseded by more recent historical scholarship, the controversies about Dix’s account of the offertory rite and its central significance were based less on histor- ical than on theological grounds. Protestant critics such as Colin Buchanan (The End of the Offertory, (Cambridge: Grove 1978)) rejected his account with its strong focus on the activity of the faithful within the Eucharistic celebration as potentially semi-pelagian.

  • Instructed Eucharist Booklet.Pub
    A Guide for an Instructed Eucharist BASIC LITURGICS Liturgy “Liturgy” comes from the Greek word leitourgia, which literally means “work of the people.” It was used to refer to a public work done at private expense and could be used to classify projects like a privately-financed bridge that was being built for the use of a whole town. The public libraries built by Andrew Carnegie could also be considered a of leitourgia. In church usage, liturgy is the act of worship that we do on behalf of ourselves, the wider Church, and the world. Eucharist The word Eucharist comes from the Greek word eucharistia, which means “thanksgiving.” For this reason the Prayer Book also calls the Eucharistic Prayer by the label “The Great Thanksgiving.” The service of Holy Communion is our great act of thanksgiving to God. The Structure of the Eucharistic Liturgy The Eucharistic Liturgy is divided into two main parts: (1) The Liturgy of the Word - The Gathering Rite - The Lessons & Sermon - The Creed - The Intercessions and Confession - The Peace (2) The Liturgy of the Table - The Offertory - The Eucharistic Prayer - The Lord’s Prayer - The Fraction - Holy Communion - The Post-Communion Prayer - Blessing and Dismissal Terms for Those Who Help With Worship Celebrant: A priest or bishop who presides at the liturgy Deacon: A person ordained to the diaconate can help with reading the gospel, leading the Prayers of the People, leading the Confession, setting the Altar at Offertory, distributing Communion, cleaning up after Communion, the Dismissal Crucifer: Someone who carries the processional cross Acolyte: Literally this means “torch-bearer” Lay Eucharistic Ministers : Lay people who have been authorized by the Bishop and the Rector to help distribute Commun- ion, usually by being chalice-bearers Book-bearer: The person who carries the Gospel Book in procession and holds it during the Gospel Reading Preacher: A person who gives a sermon or homily Lector: A person who reads a lesson from the Bible.
