Word of God Sunday OFFICE OF DIVINE WORSHIP Archdiocese of Newark Word of God Sunday On September 30, 2019, the Holy Father Pope Francis issued the Apostolic letter motu proprio, entitled Aperuit Illis, reflecting on the Word of God, establishing the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time as “Sunday of the Word of God.” Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston and president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) issued a statement on the Holy Father’s Apostolic letter reflecting on the Word of God, saying “We welcome Pope Francis’ Apostolic letter motu proprio, Aperuit Illis, reflecting on the Word of God. The Holy Father reminds us that the Word of God is ‘performative’ and that Christians should linger over and study the Word of God as revealed in Sacred Scripture. “It is my hope that the words of the Holy Father will encourage all the faithful to know the Lord better through prayerful reading and study of the Scriptures. Pope Francis emphasizes that through the Word of God and the sacrifice of the Mass we grow closer to Jesus and each other as the Body of Christ. “The Holy Father has now designated the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time as the Sunday of the Word of God. By naming a special Sunday to commemorate the ‘unbreakable bond between sacred Scripture and the Eucharist,’ the Holy Father allows us to remember that it is through the Word of God that we encounter its author and learn of the ‘merciful love of the Father who calls his children to live in love.’” In light of the Holy Father’s designation of the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time as Sunday of the Word of God, (January 26, 2020) the Office of Divine Worship recommends: Displaying the Scriptures Prominently Pope Francis invites local communities to find ways to “mark this Sunday with a certain solemnity.” He suggest that the sacred text be enthroned “in order to focus the attention of the assembly on the normative value of God’s Word.” Focus on the Gospel Procession Where it has not been implemented, the Worship Office recommends the use of a Gospel Procession during Mass. This may only be done with a Book of the Gospels (not a Lectionary). See the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, paragraphs 133, 175 (175 below) General Instruction of the Roman Missal 175. If incense is used, the deacon assists the priest when he puts incense in the thurible during the singing of the Alleluia or other chant. Then he makes a profound bow before the priest and asks for the blessing, saying in a low voice, Iube, domine, benedicere (Father, give me your blessing). The priest blesses him, saying, Dominus sit in corde tuo (The Lord be in your heart). The deacon signs himself with the Sign of the Cross and responds, Amen. Having bowed to the altar, he then takes up the Book of the Gospels which was placed upon it. He proceeds to the ambo, carrying the book slightly elevated. He is preceded by a thurifer, carrying a thurible with smoking incense, and by servers with lighted candles. There the deacon, with hands joined, greets the people, saying, Dominus vobiscum (The Lord be with you). Then, at the words Lectio sancti Evangelii (A reading from the holy Gospel), he signs the book with his thumb and, afterwards, himself on his forehead, mouth, and breast. He incenses the book and proclaims the Gospel reading. When the reading is concluded, he says the acclamation Verbum Domini (The Gospel of the Lord), and all respond, Laus tibi, Christe (Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ). He then venerates the book with a kiss, saying privately, Per evangelica dicta (May the words of the Gospel), and returns to the priest’s side. When the deacon is assisting the Bishop, he carries the book to him to be kissed, or else kisses it himself, saying quietly, Per evangelica dicta dicta (May the words of the Gospel). In more solemn celebrations, as the occasion suggests, a Bishop may impart a blessing to the people with the Book of the Gospels. Lastly, the deacon may carry the Book of the Gospels to the credence table or to another appropriate and dignified place. Introduction to the Lectionary See also the Introduction to the Lectionary 23, 36 (36 below) 36. The proclamation of the Gospel always stands as the high point of the liturgy of the word. Thus the liturgical tradition of both West and East has consistently made a certain distinction between the books for the readings. The Book of Gospels was always fabricated and decorated with the utmost care and shown greater respect than any of the other books of readings. In our times also, then, it is very desirable that cathedrals and at least the larger, more populous parishes and the churches with a larger attendance possess a beautifully designed Book of Gospels, separate from any other book of readings. For good reason it is the Book of Gospels that is presented to a deacon at his ordination and that at an ordination to the episcopate is laid upon the head of the bishop-elect and held there. Resources Resources from the Federation of Diocesan Liturgical Commissions for Word of God Sunday are available. Guidelines for Lectors are available on the Worship Office under “Liturgy,” “Liturgical Ministers” 1/6/2020 .

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 Kiss of Peace
    Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce Positio N. 19 THE KISS OF PEACE JUNE 2014 From the General Introduction These papers, commissioned by the International Federation Una Voce , are offered to stimulate and inform debate about the 1962 Missal among Catholics ‘attached to the ancient Latin liturgical tradition’, and others interested in the liturgical renewal of the Church. They are not to be taken to imply personal or moral criticism of those today or in the past who have adopted practices or advocated reforms which are subjected to criticism. In composing these papers we adopt the working assumption that our fellow Catholics act in good will, but that nevertheless a vigorous and well-informed debate is absolutely necessary if those who act in good will are to do so in light of a proper understanding of the issues. The authors of the papers are not named, as the papers are not the product of any one person, and also because we prefer them to be judged on the basis of their content, not their authorship. The International Federation Una Voce humbly submits the opinions contained in these papers to the judgement of the Church. The Kiss of Peace: Abstract The Kiss of Peace or Pax, in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, before the Agnus Dei, in its fullest form in Missa Solemnis, involves the celebrant kissing the Altar, and passing the Peace of Christ from Christ, represented by the Altar and the Consecrated Host upon the Altar, to the other Sacred Ministers, and others in the Sanctuary, with a light embrace.

  • Low Mass Offered by a Bishop
    LOW MASS FOR A BISHOP Simple Form1 Preparations The preparations are as usual for a Low Mass with these exceptions: On the vesting table • To the right of the vestments, place on 2 silver salvers2 the bishop’s skullcap and pectoral cross. • If the bishop wears a biretta, it will be purple3, but will be set up as usual. On the credence • A medium-size ewer filled halfway with warm water and a basin (instead of the usual Lavabo bowl, the water cruet is still necessary though), and a large, finger towel (this should be rather absorbent) On the altar • Place a salver on the Epistle-side near the tabernacle4 for the bishop’s skullcap5. • 4 candles, instead of the usual 2 may be lighted. In the center of the Foot • Place the maniple on the 2nd Altar step in front of Ac2’s Confiteor position. Serving Serving a Low Mass for a bishop is performed in the same manner as for a priest with these differences: Preparatory Prayers at the Foot -upon reaching the Foot, Ac1 takes the bishop’s biretta, giving the solita oscula to the bishop’s ring instead of his hand. Then both Acolytes genuflect while the bishop bows. -after the Acolytes have said the Confiteor, the bishop will say the Misereatur and Indulgentiam prayers, which the servers both respond to with “Amen,” then Ac2 gives the maniple to the bishop, kissing first the bottom cross on the maniple and holding it so that the bishop may kiss the center cross easily[if necessary; Ac2 may stand to perform this action]6.
