CELEBRATION ‘Pastors of souls must realise that when liturgy is celebrated, something more is required than the observance of the laws governing valid and lawful celebration. It is their duty also to ensure that the faithful take part, fully aware of what they are doing, actively engaged in the rite and enriched by it.’ (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Para 11) ‘The celebration of the Eucharist, and the entire liturgy, is carried out by the use of outward signs. By these signs faith is nourished, strengthened and expressed. It is thus very important to select and arrange the forms and elements proposed by the Church, which, taking into account individual and local circumstances, will best foster active and full participation and promote the spiritual welfare of the faithful.’ (General Instruction of the Roman Missal No. 5) Order of Divine Office and Mass Compiled, edited and © 2009 by Rev.

DECEMBER 29 THOMAS OF CANTERBURY, bishop, martyr (opt. mem.) 5 TITULAR SAINT’S DAY and the ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEDICATION OF A CHURCH These are observed as Solemnities. These Solemnities yield in precedence only to the following: Holy Week and Easter Week. The Sundays of Advent, Lent and Eastertide including Pentecost. Solemnities of the Lord, Our Lady or of the Saints in the Universal Calendar; Ash Wednesday and All Souls Day. On such days the Solemnity should be transferred to the nearest following day that is free. However, if it is a Sunday of Advent, Lent or Eastertide, which takes precedence, the Solemnity should be anticipated on the previous Saturday, assuming this is free. Throughout this ordo Titular Saint’s Days of places in the Archdiocese which are celebrated in their respective places but which cannot be entered in the general ordo for the Archdiocese will be entered in Italics. CONCELEBRATION Reminder: in those parts of the Eucharistic Prayer which are to be said by all the concelebrants together, the one voice of the Chief Concelebrant should be clearly heard, the rest saying the words quietly. (G.I.R.M. No. 170 and Ad Clerum reminder Aug 1988). EUCHARISTIC PRAYER No. 4 This must always have its own preface. It should not be used on days when the Mass has a proper Preface. When, however, the Preface in seasonal, e.g. during Eastertide (but not on Easter Sunday itself) Eucharistic Prayer No. 4, or No. 2, may be used with its own Preface, except on Sundays in Lent. OFFICE Rules governing how the Office is arranged on Memorials whether obligatory or optional are to be found in Vol. 1 paras. 234-240 of the General Instruction on the Liturgy of the Hours (GILH) p.lxxxi. HOLY COMMUNION (General Instructions of the Roman Missal §56 (h) ‘It is most desirable that the faithful should receive the body of the Lord in hosts consecrated at the same Mass and should share the cup when it is permitted. Communion is thus a clearer sign of sharing in the sacrifice that is actually being celebrated.’ Communion under Both Kinds. In accord with a reply from the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship, the Bishops’ Conference has extended the occasions for exercising the option of receiving Holy Communion under Both Kinds now to include all weekdays and Sundays. (1985) The primary purpose of reservation of hosts in the tabernacle is for Viaticum.
