  • The Penitential Rite & Kyrie

    The Penitential Rite & Kyrie

    The Mass In Slow Motion Volumes — 7 and 8 The Penitential Rite & The Kyrie The Mass In Slow Motion is a series on the Mass explaining the meaning and history of what we do each Sunday. This series of flyers is an attempt to add insight and understanding to our celebration of the Sacred Liturgy. You are also invited to learn more by attending Sunday School classes for adults which take place in the school cafeteria each Sunday from 9:45 am. to 10:45 am. This series will follow the Mass in order. The Penitential Rite in general—Let us recall that we have just acknowledged and celebrated the presence of Christ among us. First we welcomed him as he walked the aisle of our Church, represented by the Priest Celebrant. The altar, another sign and symbol of Christ was then reverenced. Coming to the chair, a symbol of a share in the teaching and governing authority of Christ, the priest then announced the presence of Christ among us in the liturgical greeting. Now, in the Bible, whenever there was a direct experience of God, there was almost always an experience of unworthiness, and even a falling to the ground! Isaiah lamented his sinfulness and needed to be reassured by the angel (Is 6:5). Ezekiel fell to his face before God (Ez. 2:1). Daniel experienced anguish and terror (Dan 7:15). Job was silenced before God and repented (42:6); John the Apostle fell to his face before the glorified and ascended Jesus (Rev 1:17). Further, the Book of Hebrews says that we must strive for the holiness without which none shall see the Lord (Heb.

  • The Agnus Dei

    The Agnus Dei

    New and Corrected Translation of the Mass – Part 26 The Agnus Dei Lamb of God, Gen 22.8; Ex 12; 1 Cor 5.7 you take away the sins of the world, Lev 16.21; Jn 1.29 have mercy on us. Lamb of God, 1 Pet 1.19; Rev 5.6 you take away the sins of the world, 1 Jn 2.2 have mercy on us Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. John 14.27; 20.26 Immediately after the Pax, the priest begins the Fraction, i.e. breaking the Host, which shows the death of Jesus, whose body was broken for us in the Sacrifice of the Cross (although not one of His bones was broken, cf. John 19.36). The priest takes a small particle of the Host and adds it to the Precious Blood in the chalice. This act, called the ‘commingling’, signifies the Resurrection, the coming together again of Christ’s Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity (even in death His Divinity remained united to all three preceding, which are part of His humanity). The Agnus Dei is a chant which accompanies the Fraction. Everyone says or sings it, using the words of St John the Baptist to point out Jesus as the Messiah. In the Eastern churches the sacrificial gifts are called “the Lamb”. It is the sacrificial nature of the Eucharist that moves us to call Jesus ‘Lamb of God’ at this point of the Mass, cf. “I saw a Lamb standing, as it were slain” (Rev 5.6).

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. All: Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

  • GOD — AGNUS DEI Agnus Dei, Qui Tollis Peccata Mundi, Miserere Nobis

    GOD — AGNUS DEI Agnus Dei, Qui Tollis Peccata Mundi, Miserere Nobis

    LAMB OF GOD — AGNUS DEI Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. The Agnus Dei, Latin for ‘Lamb of God’ designates the liturgical texts sung or said at the fraction rite when the Body of Christ is broken and a small portion is added to the chalice. After the Lord’s Prayer, the Agnus Dei is the Invitation to Communion which begins, “Behold the Lamb of God…”. It sounds the themes of sacrifice and of adoration. Thus, it unites the sacrifice of the Liturgy to the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, as the Lamb of God, and calls to mind the sacrifice of the lamb in the Old Testament. This should be a moment of awe, when we profess that the real presence of Christ in the sacramental bread and the sacramental wine is made available to us only when the host is broken for us. The first part of the invocation is essentially a quote from John 1:29, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” These are the words spoken by Saint John the Baptist when he sees Christ baptizing repentant sinners. ‘Lamb of God’ — by using this term to identify Christ, John the Baptist affirmed the redemptive Sacrifice Christ would make for the salvation of all people.

One must recite the Rosary every day, and also the Rosary of the Seven PRESIDENT’S Sorrows of Mary, to obtain the favor of repentance.” In his decree on the apparitions COLUMN issued on June 29th, 2001, Bishop Augustin Misago By Bruce G. of Gikongoro, Rwanda, in part states: “It was the visionary Marie Claire Mukangango who brought it back again as she received the mission to teach the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows by the Blessed Virgin Unity of Hearts Devotion Mary of Kibeho. After an intensive research the ad “You must contemplate the Heart of My Mother, as hoc commissions have still not found any evidence you contemplate My own; live in that Heart as you that Marie Claire knew this rosary before the wish to live in Mine; give yourself to that Heart as you beginning of the apparitions. This rosary deserves to give yourself to Mine; spread the love of Her Heart be renewed and spread in the Church. However, this which is wholly united to Mine.” – Jesus, to Venerable prayer does not replace the Holy Rosary. It is one Bertha Petit, Franciscan Tertiary and Belgian mystic, among many exercises of piety admitted in the February 7, 1910 Church.” Known under the title of Our Lady of Kibeho, this apparition has worldwide approval of Dear Calix Family, the Church. In the last edition of The Chalice, I wrote about meditating on the Sorrowful Mysteries while praying The Rosary of the Seven Sorrows recalls the sorrows the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and how this prayer and the Virgin Mother of God endured during Her life, meditation is an effective means of coming to know particularly Her compassion for the suffering and the burning love Jesus has for us in His Heart.
