HOLY WEEK LITURGIES in 2020 Iust1fl P Tudum Instructions on the Sacrament of Penance and Indulgences DIOCESE OF VENICE IN FLORIDA PASTORAL DIRECTIVES FOR THE HOLY WEEK LITURGIES IN 2020 IUST1fl p tUDUM Instructions on the Sacrament ofPenance and Indulgences Drawing upon Guidance offered by the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments and the Apostolic Penitentiary During the special circumstances of the COVID 19 Pandemic, the Apostolic See has provided Pastoral Directives regarding the celebration of Holy Week as well as the Sacrament of Penance and Special Indulgences. The Holy Father has directed the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments and the Apostolic Penitentiary to provide these directives under his authority. The Apostolic See, the Episcopal Conference and the Diocesan Bishop are the competent authorities to regulate the Sacred Liturgy and the Sacraments. Priests ought to understand it is of vital importance to follow the directives given during this time. By doing so, the visible communion of the Church is manifest and is a source of hope and comfort to the Catholic Faithful. HOLY WEEK In a decree of March 19, 2020 (Prot. N. 153/20), the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued an instruction, by mandate of the Holy Father, with regard to the celebration of Holy Week for the Year 2020 only: The Easter Tridium and Easter Sunday: These feasts are the heart of the entire liturgical year, not one feast among others. Therefore, these liturgical celebrations are to be observed at their proper times and not transferred to another date or time. Chrism Mass: The Ordinary may decide to transfer the celebration of the Chrism Mass. However, after prayerful discernment and consultation, the Diocese of Venice will hold its Chrism Mass on Tuesday, April 7, 2020, at Epiphany Cathedral at 2:00 pm. with one priest from each Deanery. This will be the respective Deans, unless for some reason one is unable to be present. It is regretted that no one else can attend. Thank you for your understanding. The Holy Week Liturgies • The Liturgies of Holy Week are to be celebrated in a Cathedral or Parish church without the presence of the faithful. • The faithful ought to be informed of the times of the various celebrations of Holy Week so they can prayerfully unite themselves to the celebration. Page 1 of 6 The Mass of the Lord’s Supper • The Holy Thursday Liturgy is to be celebrated by the Parish Priests (Concelebration is allowed for the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. The assisting priests can perform the non-presiding ministries. i.e. Lector. The appropriate social distancing needs to be observed while live streaming). • Priests who do not attend the Mass of the Lord’s Supper have the faculty to celebrate another Mass at a suitable time and place. Additional Masses are also to be without the presence of the faithful using the rubrics for Mass with The Participation of a Single Minister (c.f. Roman Missal). • The Washing of the Feet, an optional part of the Holy Thursday Liturgy, is to be omitted. • The Eucharistic Procession to a place of repose that usually concludes the Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper is also omitted. The Blessed Sacrament is to remain in the Tabernacle. I A Priest who finds it impossible to unite to a celebration of the Mass on Holy Thursday is instructed to pray “Vespers for the day from the Liturgy of Hours.” Good Friday • The Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion is to be celebrated. • The Universal Prayers is to include a special prayer for the sick and those who are feeling lost or dismayed (Roman Missal n. 13.) Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday • The Easter Vigil may only be celebrated in a church (as opposed to a chapel or other place). Concelebration is allowed for the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. The assisting priests can perform the non-presiding ministries. i.e. Lector. The appropriate social distancing needs to be observed while live streaming. • The preparation and lighting of the fire is to be omitted • The Paschal Candle is to be lit, the Procession is omitted and the Exultet is to be sung or said. • For the Baptismal Liturgy, that is usually part of the Easter Vigil, only the Renewal of the Baptismal Promises is necessary (Roman Missal n. 55). • Those who are unable to unite themselves to a celebration of the Easter Vigil in a church are encouraged to pray “the Office of Readings for Easter Sunday from the Liturgy of the Hours.” Livestreaming: In order that the Faithful may be united to the celebrations of Holy Week live streaming is encouraged. Liturgies which are livestreamed are to be simultaneous with the celebrations taking place in the church and not pre-recorded. Page 2 of 6 THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE The Apostolic Penitentiary has announced that because of the gravity of the present circumstances there are some necessary clarifications regarding the Sacrament of Penance. • Even in the time of COVID-19, the Sacrament of Reconciliation is administered in accordance with universal canon law and with the provisions of the Order of Penance. • Individual confession is the ordinary way of celebrating this sacrament (cf. can. 960 dC). • General absolution, without prior individual confession, cannot be imparted except where there is an imminent danger of death, since there is not enough time to hear the confessions of individual penitents (cf. can. 961, § 1 dC), or a grave necessity (cf. can. 961, § 1 dC). 961, § l,2CIC). • The consideration of whether the grave necessity exists for general absolution is the responsibility of the Ordinary, considering the supreme good of the salvation of souls (cf. can. 1752 dC). It is not foreseen, at this time, that the conditions for general absolution will exist in the Diocese of Venice. • In the present pandemic emergency, it is up to the Ordinary to indicate to priests and penitents the prudent precautions to be adopted in the individual celebration of sacramental reconciliation, such as the celebration in a ventilated place outside the confessional, the adoption of a suitable distance, the use of protective masks, without prejudice to absolute attention to the safeguarding of the sacramental seal and the necessary discretion. • The Church anticipates that Catholics are to be catechized regarding the general norm to be observed when sacramental confession is not possible, specifically: “Where the individual faithful find themselves in the painful impossibility of receiving sacramental absolution, it should be remembered that perfect contrition, coming from the love of God, beloved above all things, expressed by a sincere request for forgiveness (that which the penitent is at present able to express) and accompanied by the firm resolution to have recourse, as soon as possible, to sacramental confession, obtains forgiveness of sins, even mortal ones (cf. CCC, no. 1452).” For this reason, general absolution ought to be considered only when the Ordinary determines according to canon 961 §1 CIC that grave circumstances exist which make general absolution necessary. Page 3 of 6 For your Easy Reference: Canon Law Norms Regarding General Absolution Please be reminded and take note of the underlined sections: Canon 960 Individual and integral confession and absolution constitute the only ordinary means by which a member of the faithful conscious of grave sin is reconciled with God and the Church. Only physical or moral impossibility excuses from confession of this type; in such a case reconciliation can be obtained by other means. Can. 961 §1. Absolution cannot be imparted in a general manner to many penitents at once without previous individual confession unless: 10 danger of death is imminent and there is insufficient time for the priest or priests to hear the confessions of the individual penitents; 2° there is grave necessity, that is, when in view of the number of penitents, there are not enough confessors available to hear the confessions of individuals properly within a suitable period of time in such a way that the penitents are forced to be deprived for a long while of sacramental grace or holy communion through no fault of their own. Sufficient necessity is not considered to exist when confessors cannot be present due only to the large number of penitents such as can occur on some great feast or pilgrimage. §2. It belongs to the diocesan Bishop to judge whether the conditions required according to the norm of §1, n. 2 are present. He can determine the cases of such necessity, attentive to the criteria agreed upon with the other members of the conference of bishops. Canon 962 §1. For a member of the Christian faithful validly to receive sacramental absolution given to many at one time, it is required not only that the person is properly disposed but also at the same time intends to confess within a suitable period of time each grave sin which at the present time cannot be so confessed. §2. Insofar as it can be done even on the occasion of the reception of general absolution, the Christian faithful are to be instructed about the requirements of the norm of §1. An exhortation that each person take care to make an act of contrition is to precede general absolution even in the case of danger of death, if there is time. Canon 963 Without prejudice to the obligation mentioned in Can. 989, a person whose grave sins are remitted by general absolution is to approach individual confession as soon as possible, given the opportunity, before receiving another general absolution, unless a just cause intervenes. Page 4 of 6 INDULGENCES The Apostolic Penitentiary has announced that Pope Francis, showing his paternal closeness and renewing his invitation to pray incessantly for those who are sick with the Coronavirus, has promulgated plenary indulgences for the particular circumstances of the epidemic.

  • The Dean and the Deanery
    7 DIOCESE OF EAST ANGLIA Diocesan policy on THE DEANERY AND THE ROLE OF THE DEAN THE DEANERY How is the universal Catholic Church structured? The whole people of God is a communion of dioceses, each entrusted to the pastoral leadership and care of a bishop. The diocese is then ‘divided into distinct parts or parishes’ (Code of Canon Law, 374.1). Each parish is by nature an integral part of the diocese. What then is a deanery? ‘To foster pastoral care by means of common action, several neighbouring parishes can be joined together in special groupings, such as deaneries’ (Code of Canon Law, 374.2). Each deanery is led by a Dean appointed by the bishop to act in his name. In a scattered diocese such as ours, with many small parishes, working together in deaneries can be very fruitful, not only for the mutual support and care of the clergy, but also for pastoral and spiritual collaboration at local level. In each deanery, there are to be regular meetings of the clergy, priests and deacons, diocesan and religious, of that grouping of parishes. All are expected to attend such meetings and participate as fully as possible in deanery life and work. In each deanery, there are to be regular meetings of lay representatives of each parish with all the clergy of the deanery, so as to facilitate active participation by lay people in local pastoral action and decision-making. The following norms for the role of the Dean came into effect from 21 November 2003. THE ROLE OF THE DEAN 1.

The Demand of Catholics in Transylvania for Their Own Church Province Since the fall of the Ceausescu regime, the 1948 Prohibition of the Greek Catholic Church in Romania has been lifted. The Roman Catholic Church, which had been until then tolerated outside of the law, has likewise obtained legal status. During the years of suppression, the Church had to struggle to maintain its very existence; now it is once again able to carry out freely its pastoral duties.

  • HOLY DOORS Holy Door Is to Make the Journey Istock That Every Christian Is Called to Make, to Go from Darkness to N My Last Bishop’S Message, We Talked Light
    BISHOP’S MESSAGE On Dec. 8, this Holy Door at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome was opened for pilgrims to walk through. (churches of special significance) and each has its own Holy Door. These doors are normally walled up from the inside and could not be opened every day. During jubilee years, the walls are broken down and the doors are opened so pilgrims can walk through and gain the plenary indulgence connected with the jubilee year. The symbolism of the Holy Door becomes apparent when one considers what happens at the door of a church: it is where we pass from this world into the holy presence of God. Here, the priest or deacon welcomes the parents of the baby brought to be baptized into the Church; here, too, he greets the bride and groom at the beginning of their wedding liturgy; and finally, the church door is where the priest meets the casket of the deceased at the beginning of his or her funeral. In the words of our Holy Father Francis, “There is only one way that opens wide the entrance into the life of communion with God: this is Jesus, the one and absolute way to salvation. To Him alone can the words of the Psalmist be applied in full truth: ‘This is the door of the Lord where the just may enter.’” (Psalm 118:20) The church door is, literally and figuratively, the way to Christ. The Holy Door takes this symbolism one step further. To pass through a HOLY DOORS Holy Door is to make the journey iStock that every Christian is called to make, to go from darkness to n my last Bishop’s Message, we talked light.

    Organizational Structures of the Catholic Church GOVERNING LAWS . Canon Law . Episcopal Directives . Diocesan Statutes and Norms •Diocesan statutes actually carry more legal weight than policy directives from . the Episcopal Conference . Parochial Norms and Rules CANON LAW . Applies to the worldwide Catholic church . Promulgated by the Holy See . Most recent major revision: 1983 . Large body of supporting information EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE NORMS . Norms are promulgated by Episcopal Conference and apply only in the Episcopal Conference area (the U.S.) . The Holy See reviews the norms to assure that they are not in conflict with Catholic doctrine and universal legislation . These norms may be a clarification or refinement of Canon law, but may not supercede Canon law . Diocesan Bishops have to follow norms only if they are considered “binding decrees” • Norms become binding when two-thirds of the Episcopal Conference vote for them and the norms are reviewed positively by the Holy See . Each Diocesan Bishop implements the norms in his own diocese; however, there is DIOCESAN STATUTES AND NORMS . Apply within the Diocese only . Promulgated and modified by the Bishop . Typically a further specification of Canon Law . May be different from one diocese to another PAROCHIAL NORMS AND RULES . Apply in the Parish . Issued by the Pastor . Pastoral Parish Council may be consulted, but approval is not required Note: On the parish level there is no ecclesiastical legislative authority (a Pastor cannot make church law) EXAMPLE: CANON LAW 522 . Canon Law 522 states that to promote stability, Pastors are to be appointed for an indefinite period of time unless the Episcopal Council decrees that the Bishop may appoint a pastor for a specified time .

  • Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years After Sacrosanctum Concilium: an Assessment KEITH F
    Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years after Sacrosanctum Concilium: An Assessment KEITH F. PECKLERS, S.J. Next December 4 will mark the forty-fifth anniversary of the promulgation of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, which the Council bishops approved with an astounding majority: 2,147 in favor and 4 opposed. The Constitution was solemnly approved by Pope Paul VI—the first decree to be promulgated by the Ecumenical Council. Vatican II was well aware of change in the world—probably more so than any of the twenty ecumenical councils that preceded it.1 It had emerged within the complex social context of the Cuban missile crisis, a rise in Communism, and military dictatorships in various corners of the globe. President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated only twelve days prior to the promulgation of Sacrosanctum Concilium.2 Despite those global crises, however, the Council generally viewed the world positively, and with a certain degree of optimism. The credibility of the Church’s message would necessarily depend on its capacity to reach far beyond the confines of the Catholic ghetto into the marketplace, into non-Christian and, indeed, non-religious spheres.3 It is important that the liturgical reforms be examined within such a framework. The extraordinary unanimity in the final vote on the Constitution on the Liturgy was the fruit of the fifty-year liturgical movement that had preceded the Council. The movement was successful because it did not grow in isolation but rather in tandem with church renewal promoted by the biblical, patristic, and ecumenical movements in that same historical period.
