Chers amis pèlerins, chefs de chapitre et adjoints, Voici votre dossier de préparation au 32e pèlerinage de chrétienté, de Notre-Dame de Paris à Notre-Dame de Chartres. Il se compose de quatre parties : 1. Première partie : les Méditations Thématiques 13 méditations traitant chacune d’un aspect du thème du pèlerinage 2014. Elles sont suivies immédiatement par quelques citations et une bibliographie. 2. Deuxième partie : les Méditations Générales 10 méditations sur des thèmes communs à tous nos pèlerinages. Elles sont suivies immédiatement par quelques citations et une bibliographie. 3. Troisième partie : des lectures complémentaires Elles ont été regroupées en trois sous parties. Le pèlerinage : signification de cette démarche, historique et particularités de notre pèlerinage, engagements du pèlerin. Tradition, Chrétienté, Mission : finalité de l’Association Notre-Dame de Chrétienté enracinée dans la tradition, œuvrant pour un retour de la chrétienté de façon résolument missionnaire. Résolutions pratiques : quelques points sur lesquels nous pourrions porter nos efforts pour progresser en sainteté et en efficacité. Certains de ces textes seront lus pendant le pèlerinage. La plupart seront seulement présentés et commentés par le chef de chapitre qui invitera les pèlerins à les lire ultérieurement, à tête reposée. 4. Quatrième partie : des informations diverses Adresse aux chefs de chapitre : vos engagements vis-à-vis de Notre-Dame de Chrétienté et de vos pèlerins Moyens de formation proposées par l’Association : moyens classiques (ouvrages de culture générale, conférences …) et outils réalisés par Xavier Hennequart (dossiers de formation doctrinale, fiches de formation et vidéoformation). Présentations du chapitre des Anges Gardiens qui reprend l’idée principale du chapitre des non marcheurs. Ce traditionnel dossier de préparation au pèlerinage a été élaboré dans le but de : - Favoriser votre travail personnel de chef de chapitre et celui de vos adjoints, en facilitant la compréhension et la maîtrise du thème. - Améliorer la qualité des méditations, afin de mieux frapper les intelligences et les cœurs. - Renforcer l’unité du pèlerinage, par la délivrance de méditations plus homogènes. - Montrer l’actualité du thème, en l’inscrivant dans le contexte politique actuel. 4 Comme à l’accoutumée, il a été demandé à quelques auteurs (prêtres, communautés religieuses, chapitres, mouvements et laïcs amis du pèlerinage) de rédiger un texte sur l’un des différents aspects des thèmes que nous aborderons au cours de nos trois jours de marche. Nous tenons à leur renouveler nos très chaleureux remerciements pour ce travail

  • Comentarios De Un Fiel a La Instrucción Universae Ecclesiae.Jlf
    COMENTARIOS DE UN FIEL A LA INSTRUCCIÓN UNIVERSAE ECCLESIAE por JLF (Una Voce Sevilla) Misa Pontifical según el Usus Antiquior en la Cátedra de San Pedro. Roma 15/05/11 La Instrucción Universae Ecclesiae de la Pontificia Comisión Ecclesia Dei, de 30 de abril del año del Señor de 2011 –memoria de san Pio V según el Misal de Pablo VI-, publicada el 13 de mayo –festividad de la aparición de la Virgen de Fátima-, sobre la aplicación de la carta apostólica motu proprio data Summorum Pontificum del Sumo Pontífice Benedicto XVI, del 7 de julio de 2007, empieza en su introducción afirmando que el motu proprio ha hecho más accesible a la Iglesia universal –universae Ecclesia- la riqueza de la Liturgia romana, destacando con ello la finalidad principal y logros obtenidos por el documento papal hasta el día de hoy. 1 Además recuerda la Instrucción que con dicho motu proprio el Vicario de Cristo ha promulgado una ley universal para la Iglesia –universae Ecclesiae-, con la que ha tenido la intención de dar una nueva reglamentación para el uso de la Liturgia romana vigente en 1962, reafirmando con ello el principio de deber de cuidado de la Sagrada Liturgia y aprobación de los libros litúrgicos que tienen los papas. Y que Summorum Pontificum constituye una relevante expresión del magisterio del Romano Pontífice y del munus –potestad- que le es propio, es decir, regular y ordenar la Sagrada Liturgia de la Iglesia y manifiesta su preocupación como Vicario de Cristo y Pastor de la Iglesia Universal. El texto de la Comisión vaticana vuelve a dejar claro lo afirmado por Benedicto XVI en la mencionada carta apostólica1, que los textos del Misal Romano de Pablo VI y del reeditado por última vez por Juan XXVIII, son dos formas de la Liturgia Romana, definidas respectivamente como ordinaria y extraordinaria: son dos usos únicos del único Rito Romano, que se colocan uno al lado del otro –no existiendo superioridad de uno sobre otro-.

Classified Timelines of Vernacular Liturgy: Responsibility Timelines & Vernacular Liturgy Russell Hardiman Subject area: 220402 Comparative Religious Studies Keywords: Vernacular Liturgy; Pastoral vision of the Second Vatican Council; Roman Policy of a single translation for each language; International Committee of English in the Liturgy (ICEL); Translations of Latin Texts Abstract These timelines focus attention on the use of the vernacular in the Roman Rite, especially developed in the Renewal and Reform of the Second Vatican Council. The extensive timelines have been broken into ten stages, drawing attention to a number of periods and reasons in the history of those eras for the unique experience of vernacular liturgy and the issues connected with it in the Western Catholic Church of our time. The role and function of International Committee of English in the Liturgy (ICEL) over its forty year existence still has a major impact on the way we worship in English. This article deals with the restructuring of ICEL which had been the centre of much controversy in recent years and now operates under different protocols.

  • 1 Celebrating Mass Alone an Introductory Note This Is Exactly
    Celebrating Mass Alone An Introductory Note This is exactly NOT how the Mass should be celebrated. From its inception at the Last Supper (not taking its Old Testament background into consideration), it has always been a communal act. At present, with the Covid-19 Pandemic which has sent ripples of fear around; especially that of deadly contagion, the solemn community celebration of the Liturgy of the Roman Rite has to face a number of challenges. Touch has become taboo. Proximity is dreaded now. Distance, Isolation and total insulation has become the order of the day. Churches are closed in many places and community celebrations are a luxury. People are getting used to the liturgical anomalies and they are slowly becoming the norm. In the long run, these can lead to deformities, remedying which, would be an uphill task. From a purely Ministerial Priesthood perspective, priests are left with a serious spiritual concern. When community Mass is not possible, and when one is all by oneself, what would be the option? Celebrate Mass alone, or not celebrate at all, because Mass is essentially an act of the whole Mystical Body of Christ. An Outline of its History In the apostolic communities and thereafter, Mass was the Breaking of Bread by the community. Even after the 4th century it remained so for a long time. The first signs of isolation appeared with the transition of the language of the liturgy from Greek to Latin. The original quality of the Latin language used in the Roman Rite was more poetic and scholarly; and it required some effort to participate actively.

Endnotes Foreword For as long as I can remember, the Mass has been the focus of my life. No need to specify which Mass: there was only one, the Mass that has been handed down through the centuries, by faithful Bishops to their successors, the priests whom they themselves ordained to say it. When I was about 12 years old, I remember walking, with my younger sister and her friend, along a railroad track into the next town to attend Mass on the first Friday of the month. My parents had sent me to supervise the group at a summer camp, and there was no Church in the area. So three of us set out early in the morning on a beautiful summer day to go to Mass and receive Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. The area was new to us, we probably did not walk fast enough - for whatever reason - Mass was just finishing as we arrived.

  • The Ottaviani Intervention
    The Ottaviani Intervention Letter from Cardinals Ottaviani and Bacci to His Holiness Pope Paul VI September 25th, 1969 Most Holy Father, Having carefully examined, and presented for the scrutiny of others, the Novus Ordo Missae prepared by the experts of the Consilium ad exequendam Constitutionem de Sacra Liturgia, and after lengthy prayer and reflection, we feel it to be our bounden duty in the sight of God and towards Your Holiness, to put before you the following considerations: 1. The accompanying critical study of the Novus Ordo Missae, the work of a group of theologians, liturgists and pastors of souls, shows quite clearly in spite of its brevity that if we consider the innovations implied or taken for granted which may of course be evaluated in different ways, the Novus Ordo represents, both as a whole and in its details, a striking departure from the Catholic theology of the Mass as it was formulated in Session XXII of the Council of Trent. The "canons" of the rite definitively fixed at that time provided an insurmountable barrier to any heresy directed against the integrity of the Mystery. 2. The pastoral reasons adduced to support such a grave break with tradition, even if such reasons could be regarded as holding good in the face of doctrinal considerations, do not seem to us sufficient. The innovations in the Novus Ordo and the fact that all that is of perennial value finds only a minor place, if it subsists at all, could well turn into a certainty the suspicions already prevalent, alas, in many circles, that truths which have always been believed by the Christian people, can be changed or ignored without infidelity to that sacred deposit of doctrine to which the Catholic faith is bound for ever.

  • Summorum Pontificum
    The Holy See POPE BENEDICT XVI APOSTOLIC LETTER GIVEN MOTU PROPRIO SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM ON THE USE OF THE ROMAN LITURGY PRIOR TO THE REFORM OF 1970 The Supreme Pontiffs have to this day shown constant concern that the Church of Christ should offer worthy worship to the Divine Majesty, “for the praise and glory of his name” and “the good of all his holy Church.” As from time immemorial, so too in the future, it is necessary to maintain the principle that “each particular Church must be in accord with the universal Church not only regarding the doctrine of the faith and sacramental signs, but also as to the usages universally received from apostolic and unbroken tradition. These are to be observed not only so that errors may be avoided, but also that the faith may be handed on in its integrity, since the Church’s rule of prayer (lex orandi) corresponds to her rule of faith (lex credendi).” [1] Eminent among the Popes who showed such proper concern was Saint Gregory the Great, who sought to hand on to the new peoples of Europe both the Catholic faith and the treasures of worship and culture amassed by the Romans in preceding centuries. He ordered that the form of the sacred liturgy, both of the sacrifice of the Mass and the Divine Office, as celebrated in Rome, should be defined and preserved. He greatly encouraged those monks and nuns who, following the Rule of Saint Benedict, everywhere proclaimed the Gospel and illustrated by their lives the salutary provision of the Rule that “nothing is to be preferred to the work of God.” In this way the sacred liturgy, celebrated according to the Roman usage, enriched the faith and piety, as well as the culture, of numerous peoples.

  • The Latest Coronavirus Guidelines from the Archdiocese 3/16/2020
    The Latest Coronavirus Guidelines from the Archdiocese 3/16/2020 The intentions for all Masses celebrated sine populo will be re-assigned as “missas pro populo” — Masses offered for the people. The original intentions of these Masses will be assigned for a future Mass at a later date, as times become available. Eucharistic Adoration: Decisions regarding whether to continue operation of adoration chapels should be determined by the pastor. However, the exposed Blessed Sacrament is never to be left unattended. If necessary, the Blessed Sacrament may be reposed in the tabernacle at least two times during a period of adoration. Please take care to implement the most recent social distancing guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ensuring that no more than 10 individuals are gathered in Eucharistic adoration at one time. Weddings/funerals/baptisms: The decisions regarding whether to continue with weddings and funerals remain with the parish pastor. The Archdiocese of St. Louis recommends limiting attendance at these sacred events to immediate family members only – or rescheduling. Parish pastors should determine whether to continue with baptisms. Where possible, the Archdiocese of St. Louis recommends that baptisms be conducted in a simple, private, individual ceremony. Anointing of the Sick: may still be administered by priests to those seriously ill or in danger of death. However, priests administering this sacrament need to be in good health. If you are administering to someone with COVID-19, please contact the Office of Worship ahead of time. All those administering sacraments to the elderly, sick or homebound need to follow proper protocols from the CDC for handwashing and use of masks by those infected and those who are ministering.
