Pecklers | 160 pages | 29 Dec 2009 | Continuum Publishing Corporation | 9781441104038 | English | New York, United States The Genius of the Roman Rite, by Keith Pecklers SJ - PrayTellBlog It developed in the Latin language in the city of Rome and, while distinct Latin liturgical rites such as the Ambrosian Rite remain, the Roman Rite has over time been adopted almost everywhere in the Western Church. In medieval times there were very many local variants, even if they did not all amount to distinct rites, but uniformity grew as a result of the invention of printing and in obedience to the decrees of the — Council of Trent see Quo primum. Several Latin liturgical rites that survived into the 20th century were abandoned voluntarily in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. The Roman Rite is now the most widespread liturgical rite not only in the Latin Church but in Christianity as a whole. It is now normally celebrated in the form promulgated by Pope Paul VI in and revised by Pope John Paul II inbut use of the Roman Missal remains authorized as an extraordinary form under the conditions indicated in the papal document Summorum Pontificum. The Roman Rite is noted for its sobriety of expression. Concentration on the exact moment of change of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ has led, in the Roman Rite, to the consecrated Host and the chalice being shown to the people immediately after the Words of Institution.

  • Devotional March 6 – April 20, 2019
    LENTEN DEVOTIONAL MARCH 6 – APRIL 20, 2019 The Lenten Season Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends with the Resurrection on Easter. We skip Sundays when we count the forty days because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. This year Lent begins on March 6, 2019 and ends on April 20, 2019. It is meant as a time for repentance and reflection, for silence and prayer, for listening to God. The season serves as a reminder of our need to humble ourselves and call upon Jesus for forgiveness. When we participate in the devotions and traditions of Lent, we participate personally in Christ’s sacrifice, death and resurrection in a way that allows us to be involved with what He has done for us on many levels, both spiritually and physically, in a very personal and meaningful way. This will not only teach us personal strength and discipline, but will bless us as the true meaning of Lent fills our hearts and strengthens our spirits. How to Use This Guide This guide is intended to provide families, individuals or study groups with a devotional to study each day of the Lenten season. As we progress through Lent we will study ways we “Follow Jesus for Life.” Some tell their story of coming to Christ, some describe where they have seen Christ in action, and some describe some disciplines and practices that help us in our journey with Jesus. Each day the guide includes a passage of Scripture, a devotion, an image and a prayer.

  • The Revenge of the Arcane Exclusion Clause: the ... -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
    winter 2005 Oxford University Commonwealth Law Journal 179 THE REVENGE OF THE ARCANE EXCLUSION CLAUSE: THE CIVIL REGISTRATION OF MARRIAGE AND THE ROYAL FAMILY NOEL COX* AINTRODUCTION Over the past few centuries—indeed since the early days of Parliament—there have been occasions when ad hoc legislation has been enacted in response to the need to clarify specific royal situations. Whether these were for the purpose of regulating the succession to the Crown,1 or of royal marriages,2 or lately, for the creation of regencies,3 they were generally marked by their political nature and by an element of expediency. The personal wishes of those to whom the laws applied rarely predominated, or were even influential. They were primarily constitutional and political in nature. These special laws were intended to cater for the peculiar requirements of the time, but many of them were also to have longer-term application. Especially important in this latter respect were the Royal Marriages Act 1772,4 and the Act of Settlement 1701.5 The former was enacted to prevent members of the Royal Family from entering into unsuitable alliances by requiring royal consent to any marriage. This also was not primarily for their benefit, but rather to prevent the Crown from passing to the descendants of people deemed unsuitable. Just as the succession was limited to those who were Protestants and not adherents of the Roman Catholic Church, so the choice of spouse was regulated for what was seen as being the good of the country. The 1772 Act presents little difficulty today for descendants of King George II.
