It was his Mass and, if there were lay people present, they either The Fiscal Year began on July 1, 2020 watched or said their own prayers, like the Rosary. But, already in the mid 19th Century, a movement of study and experimentation on the liturgy was taking place in European monasteries and theological schools. Part of this study became a rediscovery of early forms of of the celebrating Mass, when it was in the language of the Week people and everyone participated and various ministries were celebrated. Early in the 20th century, the popes responded to Adult Question : this Liturgical Movement by making some changes to When and where have you been awed by God’s the Liturgy. Pope Pius X ordered the reform of action? Gregorian Chant so that it could be sung by more people. He also changed the age of First Communion Children ’s Question : from 12 to 7 to get children started earlier in the hope Jesus makes the wind and the sea peaceful. How that they would continue to receive regularly. would you have felt if you were with Jesus and the Pope Pius XII ordered the restoration of the Easter disciples during the storm? Vigil, a liturgy that had fallen into disuse. He also gave permission for experimentation, in certain places, with liturgical reform, especially with Mass in the vernacular. One of these places was quite close to us: the July Newsletter Benedictine Abbey at Conception, Missouri. The culmination of this study and the encouragement of the popes bore fruit in Vatican II’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy and the revision of the Roman Missal , which radically reformed the june 21 Church’s vision for not only the liturgy but for the Church itself. Now the Mass belongs to the people. Christ is Featured Sponsors present not only in the ordained priest but also “whenever the Church prays and sings” (SC, #7). The liturgy is seen as an exercise of the priestly office of Jesus Christ, in which “complete and definitive public worship is performed by the mystical body of Jesus Christ, that is, by the Head and his members” (SC #7). This is why the dialogues are so important. The ordained priest speaks for Christ the Head, addressing his members. The members (the assembly) respond to their Head. The instruction in the Roman Missal encourages the use of a host large enough so that at least a few people Please support our sponsors! from the assembly may partake of it. That is why, on Sundays here at St. Thomas More, we use a large host that is scored so as to easily be broken into 25 pieces.
