  • 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.

There is no other commandment greater than these.” Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

  • Penitential Act: Kyrie Eleison ( “Lord Have Mercy” )
    PENITENTIAL ACT: KYRIE ELEISON ( “LORD HAVE MERCY” ) When we ask God for forgiveness, we are asking him for mercy. At this point in the Mass, we plea for God’s mercy 3 times, echoing the priest who is leading us. Asking 3 times demonstrates sorrow for our sins and symbolizes that we are praying to God: as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Repetition is common in the psalms and in prayers of the Mass. It helps to stir the human heart, mind, and soul to prayer. As children often do, we too ask repeatedly for what we desire most: God’s mercy and love. We pray: Lord, have Mercy; Christ have Mercy; Lord have Mercy. As you may recall, much of the New Testament texts were written in Greek, and many of the early Christian liturgies were also initially in Greek. Even though Latin became the language of the Roman Catholic Church circa 500 CE, this prayer was retained in Greek, “ Kyrie eleison ” throughout the universal Church; Christians have said this same prayer for over 1500 years! During the Penitential Act (at the beginning of the Mass), depending on the prescribed form the priest utilizes, we participate in a dialogue with the priest before God, asking for the His Mercy: Priest: Lord, have mercy. Priest: Kyrie eleison. People: Lord, have mercy. People: Kyrie eleison. Priest: Christ, have mercy. Priest: Christe eleison. People: Christ, have mercy. People: Christe eleison. Priest: Lord, have mercy. Priest: Kyrie eleison. People: Lord, have mercy. People: Kyrie eleison. The Lord, Our God loves us unconditionally. All He wants is for us to be in a covenantal relationship of dependence, friendship and love with Him.

After talking with a mentor about how I could do more with spirituals, the revelation came to combine the spiritual with the traditional text “Kyrie eleison” because of the translation. After a few edits, mostly added rhythmic interest in the final key, the song now exists in its final edition. Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy, Save me now. Save poor sinner, Save me now. Christe eleison. Christ, have mercy. Save me, Jesus… Lord, I’m troubled… Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy.

  • Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), Otherwise Known As the Extraordinary Form, Can Seem Confusing, Uncomfortable, and Even Off-Putting to Some
    For many who have grown up in the years following the liturgical changes that followed the Second Vatican Council, the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), otherwise known as the Extraordinary Form, can seem confusing, uncomfortable, and even off-putting to some. What I hope to do in a series of short columns in the bulletin is to explain the mass, step by step, so that if nothing else, our knowledge of the other half of the Roman Rite of which we are all a part, will increase. Also, it must be stated clearly that I, in no way, place the Extraordinary Form above the Ordinary or vice versa. Both forms of the Roman Rite are valid, beautiful celebrations of the liturgy and as such deserve the support and understanding of all who practice the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Before I begin with the actual parts of the mass, there are a few overarching details to cover. The reason the priest faces the same direction as the people when offering the mass is because he is offering the sacrifice on behalf of the congregation. He, as the shepherd, standing in persona Christi (in the person of Christ) leads the congregation towards God and towards heaven. Also, it’s important to note that a vast majority of what is said by the priest is directed towards God, not towards us. When the priest does address us, he turns around to face us. Another thing to point out is that the responses are always done by the server. If there is no server, the priest will say the responses himself.
