  • Psalm 150 “Living Doxology” Grace to You and Peace From
    Season after Pentecost - Psalm 150 July 9, 2017 Haven Lutheran Church Hagerstown MD Readings: John 4: 24-26; Psalm 150 “Living Doxology” Grace to you and peace from God - Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Amen A man was visiting a church for the first time. He was moved by something the pastor said in his sermon, so with a loud voice he shouted, ““Praise the Lord.” Hearing it, a well-meaning member leaned over and tapped him on the shoulder saying, “Sir, we don’t ‘praise the Lord’ here.’ To which another member leaned over and said, “Oh yes we do, we just do it all together when we sing the doxology.” When I attended my first Lutheran potluck supper, the pastor suggested we sing the doxology as our grace before the meal. I had no idea what he was talking about but everyone else seemed to. Together they sang: “Praise God from whom all blessings flow Praise him all creatures here below Praise him above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen” I wondered where the words were so I could learn it. I wondered why these Lutherans were singing a song with a Latin word title — Doxology. The word doxology is derived from Latin but came down from Greek - doxo = glory/praise, logo - Word. If you look it up in the dictionary, it will say doxology is a “hymn of praise.” When we suggest singing THE Doxology, we are specifically referring to the hymn we just sang. That particular doxology was written by Anglican Bishop Thomas Ken in the late 1600s.

  • The Divine Office
    THE DIVINE OFFICE BRO. EMMANUEL NUGENT, 0. P. PIRITUAL life must be supplied by spiritual energy. An efficient source of spiritual energy is prayer. From Holy Scripture we learn that we should pray always. li In general, this signifies that whatever we do should be done for the honor and glory of God. In a more restricted sense, it requires that each day be so divided that at stated in­ tervals we offer to God acts of prayer. From a very early period it has been the custom of the Church, following rather closely the custom that prevailed among the Chosen People, and later among the Apostles and early Christians, to arrange the time for her public or official prayer as follows: Matins and Lauds (during the night), Prime (6 A.M.), Tierce (9 A.M.), Sext (12M.), None (3 P.M.), Vespers (6 .P. M.), Compline (nightfall). The Christian day is thus sanc­ tified and regulated and conformed to the verses of the Royal Psalmist: "I arose at midnight to give praise to Thee" (Matins), "Seven times a day have I given praise to Thee"1 (Lauds and the remaining hours). Each of the above divisions of the Divine Office is called, in liturgical language, an hour, conforming to the Roman and Jewish third, sixth, and ninth hour, etc. It is from this division of the day that the names are given to the various groups of prayers or hours recited daily by the priest when he reads his breviary. It is from the same source that has come the name of the service known to the laity as Sunday Vespers, and which constitutes only a portion of the Divine Office for that day.

  • R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines
    R.E. Prayer Requirement Guidelines This year in the Religious Education Program we are re-instituting Prayer Requirements for each grade level. Please review the prayers required to be memorized, recited from text, \understood, or experienced for the grade that you are teaching (see p. 1) Each week, please take some class time to work on these prayers so that the R.E. students are able not only to recite the prayers but also to understand what they are saying and/or reading. The Student Sheet (p. 2) will need to be copied for each of your students, the student’s name placed on the sheet, and grid completed for each of the prayers they are expected to know, or understand, or recite from text, or experience. You may wish to assign the Assistant Catechist or High School Assistant to work, individually, with the students in order to assess their progress. We will be communicating these prayer requirements to the parents of your students, and later in the year, each student will take their sheet home for their parents to review their progress. We appreciate your assistance in teaching our youth to know their prayers and to pray often to Jesus… to adore God, to thank God, to ask God’s pardon, to ask God’s help in all things, to pray for all people. Remind your students that God always hears our prayers, but He does not always give us what we ask for because we do not always know what is best for others or ourselves. “Prayer is the desire and attempt to communicate with God.” Remember, no prayer is left unanswered!

  • Introitus: the Entrance Chant of the Mass in the Roman Rite
    Introitus: The Entrance Chant of the mass in the Roman Rite The Introit (introitus in Latin) is the proper chant which begins the Roman rite Mass. There is a unique introit with its own proper text for each Sunday and feast day of the Roman liturgy. The introit is essentially an antiphon or refrain sung by a choir, with psalm verses sung by one or more cantors or by the entire choir. Like all Gregorian chant, the introit is in Latin, sung in unison, and with texts from the Bible, predominantly from the Psalter. The introits are found in the chant book with all the Mass propers, the Graduale Romanum, which was published in 1974 for the liturgy as reformed by the Second Vatican Council. (Nearly all the introit chants are in the same place as before the reform.) Some other chant genres (e.g. the gradual) are formulaic, but the introits are not. Rather, each introit antiphon is a very unique composition with its own character. Tradition has claimed that Pope St. Gregory the Great (d.604) ordered and arranged all the chant propers, and Gregorian chant takes its very name from the great pope. But it seems likely that the proper antiphons including the introit were selected and set a bit later in the seventh century under one of Gregory’s successors. They were sung for papal liturgies by the pope’s choir, which consisted of deacons and choirboys. The melodies then spread from Rome northward throughout Europe by musical missionaries who knew all the melodies for the entire church year by heart.

  • Procedures for Reverencing the Tabernacle and the Altar Before, During and After Mass
    Procedures for Reverencing the Tabernacle and the Altar Before, During and After Mass Key Terms: Eucharist: The true presence of Christ in the form of his Body and Blood. During Mass, bread and wine are consecrated to become the Body and Blood of Christ. Whatever remains there are of the Body of Christ may be reserved and kept. Tabernacle: The box-like container in which the Eucharistic Bread may be reserved. Sacristy: The room in the church where the priest and other ministers prepare themselves for worship. Altar: The table upon which the bread and wine are blessed and made holy to become the Eucharist. Sanctuary: Often referred to as the Altar area, the Sanctuary is the proper name of the area which includes the Altar, the Ambo (from where the Scriptures are read and the homily may be given), and the Presider’s Chair. Nave: The area of the church where the majority of worshippers are located. This is where the Pews are. Genuflection: The act of bending one knee to the ground whilst making the sign of the Cross. Soon (maybe even next weekend – August 25-26) , the tabernacle will be re-located to behind the altar. How should I respond to the presence of the reserved Eucharist when it will now be permanently kept in the church sanctuary? Whenever you are in the church, you are in a holy place, walking upon holy ground. Everyone ought to be respectful of Holy Rosary Church as a house of worship and prayer. Respect those who are in silent prayer.

  • REACHING out a Celebration of the Work of the Choir Schools’ Association
    REACHING OUT A celebration of the work of the Choir Schools’ Association The Choir Schools’ Association represents 46 schools attached to cathedrals, churches and college chapels educating some 25,000 children. A further 13 cathedral foundations, who draw their choristers from local schools, hold associate membership. In total CSA members look after nearly 1700 boy and girl choristers. Some schools cater for children up to 13. Others are junior schools attached to senior schools through to 18. Many are Church of England but the Roman Catholic, Scottish and Welsh churches are all represented. Most choir schools are independent but five of the country’s finest maintained schools are CSA members. Being a chorister is a huge commitment for children and parents alike. In exchange for their singing they receive an excellent musical training and first-class academic and all-round education. They acquire self- discipline and a passion for music which stay with them for the rest of their lives.

  • Ave Maris Stella Hans Sachs Und Maria Im Spannungsfeld Von Tradition, Innovation Und Reformation
    Anja Becker, Julia Schmeer Ave maris stella Hans Sachs und Maria im Spannungsfeld von Tradition, Innovation und Reformation Mit einer Vorüberlegung zum Analysieren vormoderner Übersetzungen Andreas Kraß hat in seinen Studien zu deutschen Übersetzungen lateinischer Sequenzen, insbesondere des Stabat mater dolorosa, darauf hingewiesen, dass mittelalterlich-volkssprachliches Übersetzen sich als Adaptation vollzieht: Der Prätext werde hierbei an die konkrete Lebenssituation der zeitgenössischen Rezipienten angepasst, wobei vornehmlich pragmatische, literaturhistorische und frömmigkeitsgeschichtliche Faktoren bestimmend seien.1 Die meisten deut- schen Sequenzübersetzungen emanzipieren sich deutlich von ihren lateini- schen Vorlagen,2 daneben gibt es aber auch solche Versionen, die sich dem Prätext subordinieren, Kraß bezeichnet diese als ‚glossierende Adaptationen‘.3 In diesem Beitrag sollen Übersetzungen des Marienhymnus Ave maris stella untersucht werden. Im Allgemeinen kann man feststellen, dass sich volks- sprachliche Übertragungen lateinischer Hymnen weitaus weniger von ihren lateinischen Vorlagen emanzipieren, als dies bei deutschen Sequenzüberset- zungen der Fall ist. Hier kommt die besondere Dignität und Erhabenheit des Hymnus zum Tragen, immerhin stellte bereits Augustin die feierlichen Preislie- der Gottes auf eine Stufe mit den Psalmen.4 Das manifeste Bestreben, diese heiligen, im monastischen Stundengebet verankerten Gesänge möglichst un- verändert in die Volkssprache zu übersetzen, verwundert deshalb nicht.

  • Location of Choir and Musical Instruments, January 2012
    ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA Office for Liturgical Music 222 North Seventeenth Street ! Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-1299 215-587-3696 www.ArchPhilaMusic.org www.CathedralPhilaConcerts.org LOCATION OF CHOIR AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS COMMENTARY OFFICE FOR WORSHIP ARCHDIOCESE OF PHILADELPHIA Sacrosanctum Concilium, the document of the Second Vatican Council on the Sacred Liturgy, speaks clearly of the importance of music in the liturgy and, while urging that “choirs … be diligently promoted,” insists that “religious singing by the people … be skillfully fostered.” Implicit is the recognition of the special service and gift given to the people of God by skilled ministers of music who are, at the same time, members of the community at prayer. Subsequent Church documents and statements by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops support, develop, and expand upon Sacrosanctum Concilium regarding music ministers. In particular, they speak of the proper location of the choir, cantor, and other musicians in the church building itself -- as both musicians and members of the assembly. The Office for Worship of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, based upon the norms expressed in liturgical documents regarding the placement of musicians, offers the following guidelines to pastors, musicians, and worship committees. Musicians (choir, cantor, instrumentalists), recognized and appreciated for the special gift they bring to the celebration of the Sacred Liturgy, must be located in the church in such a way that they are also clearly perceived to be members of the worshipping assembly. While lending their special training and skill, they must also be servants of the Sacred Liturgy and members of the community at prayer.

  • 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.
