Third Printing, August 1984 Fourth Printing, April 1989 Fifth Printing, December 1997 Sixth Printing, July 2002 Seventh Printing, August 2013 Eighth Printing February 2014 Ninth Printing September 2017 PRAYER OF THE ALTAR GUILD by Mrs. David St. Pierre DuBose Dear God, Heavenly Father, thank you for this opportunity to serve Thee in This, Thy earthly sanctuary. Create in us a pure desire to love and serve Thee better. Cleanse Thy church and this altar guild, beginning with me. Root out all prejudice, bitterness and blindness of heart. May we have a true feeling of cooperation, joyful devotion and glad willingness. Be with our clergy as they try to interpret the Gospel of Jesus. Hold them close, especially in times of discouragement and tiredness. And grant that we may be of real help to them. This we ask in Thy dear Son’s Name. Amen. A PRAYER FOR THE ALTAR GUILD (found among Miss Roberta Aldrich’s papers) O God, who hast granted unto us, Thy servants, the privilege of caring for Thy earthly sanctuary, enable us, we beseech Thee to discharge the duties of our office with humility and godly fear. May we have grace ever to be mindful of Thy presence and of the solemnity of the work in which we are engaged. May our reverence increase as we become more familiar with holy things. Make us faithful here in serving Thee, that we may be better fitted hereafter to praise Thee with all the company of Thy saints - those blessed ones who stand before Thy throne and serve Thee day and night in Thy temple; through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen. 3 THE REQUISITES FOR OUR MINISTRY ARE: Reverence - we are working with holy things Cheerfulness - we are giving ourselves and our time Promptness - services must be done on time Ranna Dial DuBose Reverence is a tender, affectionate regard for holy things. Reverence is placed first because it is our greatest need in the preparation of our work in the sanctuary. Whatever else we lack, reverence we must have. This spirit of reverence lies underneath and behind all our work in the sanctuary. A Handbook for Altar Guilds by Lucy V.

  • Thurifer at Missa Cantata
    THURIFER AT MISSA CANTATA GENERAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES The Thurifer (Th) has the privilege of bearing the thurible during Mass and of the office of incensing the inferior ministers and the laity. The word thurible is derived from thus, which is Latin for incense. It is generally thought, that the thurible used by the Jews was very similar as employed at Mass now, that is, with three chains, though it is unknown if the Jewish thuribles had a cover. The thurible is also considered to be a liturgical object of great value in its symbolic use, as the thuribles made by the Jews were made of solid gold. This was perhaps done so as to imitate the Altar of Incense (on which incense was burnt three times a day), that stood outside the Temple, which was made of gold plate over wood. The history of the use of incense is very ancient, dating back to earliest ages. Incense was widely used by both the Jews in the Temple ceremonies, as commanded by Almighty God Himself, as well as by the pagan religions. In ancient times, burning incense was also used as an air freshener in countries under Roman or Asian influence; it too was used to incense the guests as a mark of respect at banquets. In fact incense was so widely used, that God Himself commanded the Jews, that the incense compound made for use in the Temple ceremonies, was to be used expressly for the Temple (i.e., God), under the penalty of death, so that it could not be used for secular functions.

FOR THE CHURCH AT WITTENBERG [FORMULA MISSAE ET COMMUNIONIS PRO ECCLESIA WITTEMBERGENSIS] 1523 FORMULA MISSAE ET COMMUNIONIS 1523 INTRODUCTION Nicolaus Hausmann, pastor primarius of the Marien­ kirche at Zwickau and a most devoted friend of Luther, had written repeatedly to him requesting advice and direction in matters connected with church worship. One of these requests had been for an order for saying mass which would conform with the principles of the movement in which they both were so <leeply concerned. Luthre had replied more or less promptly to all of Haus­ mann's requests except the last, and only after repeated urg­ ing by letter, through Stephen Roth, who was studying theology at Wittenberg, and through other friends did Luther meet Hausmann's hope and plea. Luther sent Hausmann a copy of a pamphlet 011 another subject on November 13. 1523, and in the accompanying letter told him that he would send to him a copy of the form of mass which he proposed for the ttse of the Wittenberg church. This may have been ready for printing at the time of writing this letter, for a few weeks later, on December 4, Luther sent Hausmann a printed copy of the Formula mis­ sae et communionis pro ecclesia Wittembergensi. It reached him 011 December 11, and its arrival moved Hausmann to expressions of gratitude, joy, and satisfaction.

  • 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.

Eucharist comes from a Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” Each week, we offer our thanks to God for all the things we have in our life and all the ways God loves us. The Eucharist is not something that only a priest does; it is something that we do together. It takes all of us here to help make the Eucharist happen.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. 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.

  • Epiphany 3 Instructed 10Am Font Change
    Third Sunday After Epiphany January 22, 2017 10:00 am Welcome We are delighted that you are here for worship. This bulletin should provide the information you need to participate fully in the service today. The hymn numbers refer to the blue Hym- nal 1982 in the pew rack. If you need additional guidance, just ask someone near you. Please consider coming to coffee hour in the parish hall after the conclusion of worship.

The parish hall is to the left after you go out the doors at the back of the church, or through one of the doors on the right-hand side of the church as you face the altar. We are a community centered around the Eucharist, the consecrated bread and wine. We believe in the real presence of Christ's body and blood in the bread and wine that we receive at communion. We also believe that Christ is the host at the altar, and we are all his guests. All who seek God and are drawn to Christ are warmly invited to share in this meal, to partake of Christ's body and blood in the bread and wine. An usher will indicate to you when it is time to go forward. Please kneel or stand at the altar rail, and hold out your hands to receive the bread. You may either eat the bread and then drink from the cup, or hold the bread in your hand to dip into the wine.
