“To the historian their decisions are disgusting nonsense that people of my kind want simply to ignore.” — Fr. Adrian Fortescue (1919)
“…pour forth Thy mercy upon us, to take away from us those things which our conscience feareth…”
One musical advantage for the priest celebrating the Ordinary Form is that he can play an active role leading the music, yet still celebrate Mass.
If your priest requires the congregation sing the “Alleluia,” there’s a nice way to do this.
“O God, Who dost chiefly manifest Thy power in forbearance and mercy…”
Reflections from Dr. Jennifer Donelson at Sacra Liturgia UK
What did the saints say about celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass facing East?
Like all the books we release, this extremely rare hymnal was previously unavailable until we scanned and uploaded it.
Father told me that he felt extremely awkward standing in the sanctuary for two minutes while the congregation did nothing but look at him.
How can we renew the liturgy with charity? We shouldn’t seek to win arguments on the liturgy.
Reflections from the Fota IX International Liturgy Conference
Corpus Christi Watershed is a 501(c)3 public charity dedicated to exploring and embodying as our calling the relationship of religion, culture, and the arts. This non-profit organization employs the creative media in service of theology, the Church, and Christian culture for the enrichment and enjoyment of the public.
We’re under tremendous pressure to transfer our website to a “subscription model.”
We don’t want to do this. We believe our website should remain free to all. It’s annoying to have to search for login credentials (e.g. if you’re away from your desk).
Our president has written the following letter:
* Thirteen Men & Coins (Holy Thursday Appeal)
Traditionally on Holy Thursday, the priest washed the feet of thirteen men. Theologians held various opinions regarding whom the “13th man” represented. Before the liturgical changes of Pope Pius XII (which changed the number from thirteen to twelve), the priest washed each man’s feet, kissed his foot, and gave him a coin.
This “coin” business seems providential—inasmuch as our appeal begins on Holy Thursday this year.
