A Service of HOLY COMMUNION for Passiontide This service is during Lent and the liturgical colour is purple signifying a penitential season of the year. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and continues to Palm Sunday. It is a time to prepare ourselves for the great events of Holy Week and Easter Day. Beginning with the wilderness experience of Jesus, Lent is an opportunity for us to examine our own lives and experience in the light of the Gospel message of Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Before the service begins, you may like to use the time to sit quietly and prepare yourself to meet God in this act of worship. You may find the following words helpful. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those whom mourn, for they shall be comforted Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 2 The Gathering In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All Amen. The Greeting Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you All and also with you. Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow. Lamentations 1:12 Prayer of Preparation All Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. The Collect The Collect or special prayer for today is said. Reading—Jeremiah 31:31-34 For the gift of your holy word. All Thanks be to God. Gospel Reading Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory, Christ humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and given him the name that is above every name. All Praise to you, O Christ, King of eternal glory. Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. At the end This is the Gospel of the Lord. All Praise to you, O Christ. The Creed Let us declare our faith in God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. All I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. 3 I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Prayers of Intercession At the end please respond Merciful Father, All accept these prayers for the sake of your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. Prayers of Penitence All Lord, we confess that we love our lives as they are. We struggle with even the idea of change. But we know that the life we cling to is only a half-life. Only you, O Lord, can give us true life in full. Forgive us for holding onto the wrong things. Teach us by your Spirit to let go of our agendas and assumptions. Help us to let go of our self-righteousness and false notions of power. Give us the strength and courage to try new things. Encourage us – and even push us – We pray these things in the name of Christ Jesus. Amen. Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon you pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in life eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord. All Amen. 4 The Liturgy of the Sacrament The Peace Christ is our peace. He has reconciled us to God in one body by the cross. We meet in his name and we share his peace. The peace of the Lord be always with you All and also with you. Let us offer one another a sign of peace. Hymn Father we love you, we worship, we adore you: glorify your name in all the earth. Glorify your name, glorify your name, glorify name in all the earth. Jesus we love you, we worship, we adore you: glorify your name in all the earth. Glorify your name (3 times) in all the earth. Spirit, we love you, we worship, we adore you: glorify your name in all the earth. Glorify you name (3 times) in all the earth. Preparation of the Table Jesus, true vine and bread of life, ever giving yourself that the world might live, let us share your death and passion: make us perfect in your love. All Amen.

  • Understanding When to Kneel, Sit and Stand at a Traditional Latin Mass

    Understanding When to Kneel, Sit and Stand at a Traditional Latin Mass

    UNDERSTANDING WHEN TO KNEEL, SIT AND STAND AT A TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS __________________________ A Short Essay on Mass Postures __________________________ by Richard Friend I. Introduction A Catholic assisting at a Traditional Latin Mass for the first time will most likely experience bewilderment and confusion as to when to kneel, sit and stand, for the postures that people observe at Traditional Latin Masses are so different from what he is accustomed to. To understand what people should really be doing at Mass is not always determinable from what people remember or from what people are presently doing. What is needed is an understanding of the nature of the liturgy itself, and then to act accordingly. When I began assisting at Traditional Latin Masses for the first time as an adult, I remember being utterly confused with Mass postures. People followed one order of postures for Low Mass, and a different one for Sung Mass. I recall my oldest son, then a small boy, being thoroughly amused with the frequent changes in people’s postures during Sung Mass, when we would go in rather short order from standing for the entrance procession, kneeling for the preparatory prayers, standing for the Gloria, sitting when the priest sat, rising again when he rose, sitting for the epistle, gradual, alleluia, standing for the Gospel, sitting for the epistle in English, rising for the Gospel in English, sitting for the sermon, rising for the Credo, genuflecting together with the priest, sitting when the priest sat while the choir sang the Credo, kneeling when the choir reached Et incarnatus est etc.

McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • Faith Fact a Lenten Tradition: Veiling the Cross for Passiontide

    Faith Fact a Lenten Tradition: Veiling the Cross for Passiontide

    Faith Fact A Lenten Tradition: Veiling the Cross for Passiontide By Laura Jean Rabiipour Towards the end of Lent, you may notice purple cloths draped over the crucifixes, statues, and saint images in our parish church. In some churches, these items may be removed from the sanctuary altogether. This old custom of veiling religious images is a way of focusing on the penitential aspect of this liturgical season. It reminds us in a visual way that our faith in all its glory is made possible only through the work of Christ in his suffering and death on the cross. When we cover or remove these holy and sacred images that we are so accustomed to, we are starkly confronted and reminded in a poignant way of all that Christ has won for us. The tradition is often practiced during the last two weeks before Easter, starting on Passion Sunday (now called the fifth Sunday of Lent) and ending on Good Friday. This time period is known on the old liturgical calendar as Passiontide. Even though this period is no longer officially called by this name, the tradition is still practiced in many places. Then, as in a dramatic unveiling, the holy images are again revealed for the Easter Vigil to mark the end of the penitential season. The joy of the Easter season and the hope of the Resurrection then come to the forefront. Temporarily veiling the crosses and religious images in the penitential color of Lent is a beautiful custom that helps us to reflect on the deeper theological meaning of the liturgical season.

    ST. JOSEPH CHURCH An Apostolate of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest Canon Glenn Gardner, Rector PASSION SUNDAY April 7, A.D. 2019 - April 14 A.D. 2019 LATIN MASS TIMES Sunday 11:00 a.m. Monday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. Wednesday 6:00 p.m. Confessions 30 minutes before each mass From the Rector… There is only one reason: Love! Love for the Father and love for mankind, whom He wants to reconcile with the Father. Only infinite love can explain the sufferings and humiliation accepted by Jesus. While His divinity hides itself, and almost seems to abandon Him, Jesus who is both human and divine, suffers in His human nature. Do- ing so, Jesus has given meaning to human suffering, He has made it meritorious: if accepted for the love of God and offered up for the salvation of the world. Jesus is the innocent victim, and He attains the high point of His mission into the world when it is His hour for which He longed. As we look at Jesus on the cross we confront the mystery of suffering and death and the paradox that suffering with Jesus leads to glory and happiness. Our task now is to follow Him during Holy Week. He says, “If you wish to be my disciple. Take up your cross daily and follow me.” These words are addressed to you and me. In the Acts of the Apostles (5:41) it is said that the Apos- tles rejoiced that they could suffer something for Jesus. They found joy in their sufferings because they saw mean- ing in it.

For the Lord has chastened me and has grieved me: he has left me all the day in sorrow. Do not call me now Noemi, most pleasant; rather call me now Mara, rather call me now bitter. Stand Hymn: How Great Thou Art 1 Kneel Reader We gather here on this Good Friday to keep vigil and pray with our Savior during the hours of His Passion. May the time we spend this afternoon draw us closer to the suffering Christ. In order to maintain a reverent pace while praying together, please pause at each slash mark (/). All Lord Jesus,/ you ask us to carry our cross each day./ We have not always followed Your teachings, Your way of life, and yet You love us without conditions./ Today we come to you in our weakness./ Give us courage to stand by You in Your agony, now and whenever a share in that suffering enters our own lives./ Help us to do the Father’s will,/ and make us selfless in our charity towards all. Reader Jesus said: “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me...” All Lord, help us to follow You.
