It's been a while since I've posted here but I've been doing some research at seminary that I thought might be beneficial to others with regard to the Rituale Romanum.The Motu Proprio Summorum Ponticum extended the use of the adminstration of some of the sacraments in the forma extraordinaria:Art. 9.1: The pastor, having attentively examined all aspects, may also grant permission to use the

Some time ago I began studying the Roman Rite with a view to understanding the process which had resulted in the reform of the liturgical books. Primarily, I was concerned over certain accusations leveled against the reform of the liturgical books especially the Roman Missal. As my study has progressed I have been able to evaluate various critiques and found these critiques to have varying

I'm quite sure that I am an incessant junkie for all things liturgical and I sincerely doubt that my abiding passion for such will ever abate. Nothing has ever fascinated me more than the study of Catholic liturgy in all of the various forms it has taken both throughout the history of the Roman Rite and in each of the other equally majestic Eastern Rites. I've been particularly blessed by having

I wish to share my joy with all who read this blog or perhaps will have only just happened upon it by accident, and also to implore you for your prayers on my behalf, that I have been recently accepted as a seminarian for the Diocese of Phoenix by His Excellency, Bishop Thomas Olmstead.

My first real contact with the Latin language coincided with the death of my grandfather in 2003. My grandmother gave me a veritable library of books which included several on the liturgy most of which have been quoted on this site. A little over a year later I attended the first Classical Roman Rite Mass in my diocese that had been offered in communion with the Bishop in 35 years. Between the

On "Gaudete" Sunday, as St. Gertrude prepared to communicate at the first Mass, which commences "Rorate," she complained to our Lord that she could not hear the Mass; but our Lord, who compassionates the afflicted, consoled her, saying: "Do you wish, My beloved, that I should say Mass for you?" Then, being suddenly rapt in spirit, she replied: "I do desire it, O beloved of my soul; and I most

Today is the feast day of St. Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei. My three most favorite quotes from St. Josemaria are: "You say that the Mass is too long, I reply that your love is too short." "Remember that you are Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman. Be Roman, be very Roman." "Omni cum Petro ad Jesum per Mariam. (All with Peter to Jesus through Mary.)" Sancte Josemaria Escriva, ora pro nobis!

Back in December of 2005, I posted some questions concerning the principles for organic development of the liturgy over at LEI. Recently Shawn Tribe of NLM reported to his readers about the Research Institute for Catholic Liturgy (RICL) conference which featured Dr. Alcuin Reid, well-known priest, author and scholar (The Organic Development of the Liturgy).

Vestments are those clothings worn for the liturgical rites. I'm often surprised by the inappropriate and cheap vestments that I've seen used in parishes. I'm not simply noting those vestments regularly seen which are worn, frayed, soiled, stained, wrinkled, etc. I'm talking about the quality of the vestment and it's appearance even when new. There are a variety of companies out there that

In the beginning of May, Shawn Tribe of The New Liturgical Movement suggested to the readers of his blog that they attempt a theoretical revision of the Roman Rite.1 The idea intrigued me and so I set about doing just that. I've not given not submitted what I originally worked up, though I may do so yet. I've been following the discussions and I've found them illuminating if somewhat frustrating.

In Catholic worship the whole human person is involved, spiritually and physically. Each of the five senses are touched and lifted to the adoration of the Blessed Trinity. We are created with physical bodies and so we ought to invest our worship of God with our whole being omitting no single part of ourselves. Hence, I turn to contemplating the use of incense with its polyvalent mystical meanings

Exposition of Psalm 22 (21)St. Robert Cardinal Bellarmine1 “O God, my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.”David speaks here in the person of Christ hanging on the cross, in the height of his suffering, as appears from Matt. 27, in which we read that the Redeemer, just before he expired, exclaimed: “O God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Here's some musings on the use of the vernacular for liturgical worship. I'll return to this later.1. Isn't Latin actually the vernacular use of Rome? At least that's how it got started. Didn't the Apostles write their letters and the Gospels in Greek because that was the vernacular? (Except for Matthew who wrote his Gospel in Aramaic. Of course, didn't he choose Aramaic instead of Hebrew because

I've recently begun taking ecclesiastical latin lessons from a parishoner in my dioceses.

Taking the time to study the propers and readings for the Masses of Advent is quite edifying. Both the current missa normativa and the 1962 editio typica do not in fact spend most of their time contemplating the Nativity of our Lord primarily. In fact, the season itself is one with a penitential character. The focus is on not only preparing and remembering for the historical event of the Virgin

The first portion of the 1962 Missale Romanum is referred to as the ‘Iudica me’. It is the forty-second Psalm. It begins with the Antiphon Introibo ad altare Dei (I will go to the altar of God).

The difference between the Latin versions of the Roman Canon and Eucharistic Prayer I are minimal. There is the change in the prayer of consecration and an additional response immediately afterwards. The prayer over the bread takes a form that is restorative of various traditions (Mozarabic and Ambrosian Rites, as well as the primitive Roman Rite according to St. Hippolytus). The prayer over the

The Preface is an introduction to the Eucharistic Prayer. After the salutation of the Priest "The Lord be with you," the congregation responds "And also with you". Here we have an incorrect translation of the Latin text "Et cum spiritu tuo." More literally rendered the text should read "And with your spirit." I have great hopes that this will come to fruition because of the document Liturgiam

In the Offertory of the 1962 Missal the priest offers the bread and wine to God referring to them already as the ‘immaculatam hostiam’ and ‘calicem salutaris’ before the consecration has taken place. In point of fact, they are as of yet only bread and wine, though many theologians have justified these terms as properly looking forward to the consecration. The Carthusian Ordo Missae is entirely

There are many items pointed out by tradionalists against the Mass of post-Vatican II. They point to a lack of authority on the parts of the Council and Popes involved to actually effect changes in the Rite of the Mass. They list also numerous errors in translations, and omissions in the Latin, that they purport renders the Modern Roman Rite invalid. Many books have been written on this
