The celebrant in the Dominican Rite wears the amice over his head until the beginning of Mass, and prepares the chalice as soon as he reaches the altar. The Psalm "Judica me Deus" is not said and the Confiteor, much shorter than the Roman, contains the name of St. Dominic. NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT: VETUS ORDO Vetus Ordo. Unknown.

This url will take you to the first page of the scan, which is the outside cover of the volume: https NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT: DOM LAMBERT BEAUDUIN'S 1914 Dom Lambert Beauduin, OSB (1873–1960) is one of the very important figures of the early Liturgical Movement. In 1914, he wrote La Piété de l'Eglise (published in English translation by Dom Virgil Michel under the title of Liturgy the Life of the Church) where he detailed his proposal for a programme for a Liturgical Movement. Evidently our own times have their own particular context and NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT: NEW GUIDE TO THE MASS RUBRICS Contrary to the impression given in some places, the liturgy of the Roman Rite in its Ordinary Form is governed by rubrics, the faithful observance of which occasionally invites the charge of "rubricism" from clerics less inclined to "say the black and do the red." Rubricism, of course, is obsessively punctilious anxiety about following the liturgical rules. NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT: ANNOUNCING A NEW TRADITIONAL ON JUNE 9th, 2017, with the permission of the local Ordinary, His Excellency Bishop James Vann Johnston, Jr., a new semi-contemplative traditional community of religious sisters will begin ad experimentum in the Diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph.The beginning of the community and the entrance of the first two postulants will be celebrated with a Solemn High Mass in honor of Our Lady, NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT: THOMAS AQUINAS AND THE LITURGY The liturgy is (or at least ought to be) rooted in mystery and transcendence after all, whereas Saint Thomas is known as a scholastic philosopher of rigorous, even rationalist, methodology. Berger gets down to the task of demonstrating that Aquinas has much to say about the liturgy and in so doing recasts an all too common perception ofAquinas
NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT: THE MIRACULOUS RESPONSORY OF ST S i quaeris miracula is the eighth and final responsory of the Franciscan Office of St. Anthony of Padua, whose feast is kept today, the anniversary of his death in the year 1231. It is traditionally known as the “miraculous” responsory, from the once-common custom of reciting it to ask for St. Anthony’s miraculous intervention. NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT: VETUS ORDO Vetus Ordo. Unknown. "Vetus Ordo" is an interesting term for the extraordinary form of the Mass from the interview with the Pope. If you have only read the press, try reading the interview itself. If you have had doubts about this man, this interview will go a long way to convincing you of his sincerity, humility, and intelligence. skip to main | skip to sidebar RECENT NEWS & ARTICLES St Boniface, the Apostle of GermanyGregory

* New Liturgical Movement is a member site of FŒDVS SUNDAY, JUNE 06, 2021 THE TRIUMPH OF ST NORBERTGregory DiPippo
Today is the feast of St Norbert, the founder of the Order of Canons Regular of Prémontré, who died on this day in the year 1134. Religious orders have traditionally kept a variety of secondary feasts of their major Saints, and the Premonstratensians were no exception. Since June 6th often occurs within the octaves of Pentecost or Corpus Christi, for a time it was relegated in their liturgical books to a “Commemoration” of their founder’s death, and a “Solemnity of St Norbert” was instituted on July 11th, so the feast could more conveniently be kept with an octave, as was customary for all major Patron Saints. (This was also done by the Benedictines on the same day.)
There was also a feast on May 7th of the translation of his relics, which were taken in 1627 from the cathedral of his episcopal see of Magdeburg, which had turned Protestant quite early on, to Strahov Abbey in Prague, where they remain to this day. The shrine of St Norbert at Strahov Abbey, from this post of 2016.
Another of these secondary feasts is called “the Triumph of St Norbert”, commemorating his defeat of a particularly bizarre heresy in the Low Countries, especially in the area of Antwerp. Norbert was a great promoter of Eucharistic devotion, one of the characteristic features of his order, well over a century before Pope Urban IV promulgated the feast of Corpus Christi.
As recounted in the Premonstratensian Breviary, Tanchelm, “a most wicked man and enemy of the whole Christian faith, and of all religion”, denied any value or purpose to the Blessed Sacrament, and had somehow succeeded in convincing his fanatical followers to worship himself, and venerate his bathwater as a relic. The local clergy, unable to make any headway against the sect, consigned one of their churches to the newly founded order of canons regular; St Norbert and his brethren completely defeated the heresy solely by the force of their preaching. Faithful Catholics who had managed to hide the Sacrament and sacred vessels from profanation, keeping them hidden in some cases for several years, brought them back to St Norbert, who restored to them to the churches. The Citizens of Antwerp Return to St Norbert the Monstrance and Sacred Vessels They Had Hidden from Tanchelm - Cornelis de Vos, 1630 In the early 17th century, the same Abbot of Prémontré who presided over the translation of St Norbert’s relics, Pierre Gosset, granted the celebration of this feast to the province of the Order which included the Low Countries. It was extended to the entire Order by Pope Leo XIII, and originally assigned to the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost, then moved back a day after St Pius X’s Breviary reform. The Office for this feast is identical to that of Corpus Christi, except for the lessons of the second nocturn, which recount the story of the heresy’s defeat. A commemoration of St Norbert is added to both Vespers and Lauds; at the latter, the antiphon is taken from hisprincipal feast.
Aña Antverpienses, Tanchelmi haeresi sacramentaria dementatos, verbo Dei sane propinato, ad fidei Catholicae communionem reduxit. - By soundly preaching the word of God, he brought the citizens of Antwerp, who had been driven mad by Tanchelm’s heresy on the Sacrament, back to the communion of the Catholic Faith. ------------------------- Posted Sunday, June 06, 2021Comment

SATURDAY, JUNE 05, 2021 ST BONIFACE, THE APOSTLE OF GERMANYGregory DiPippo
On the Roman calendar, June 5th is the feast of St Boniface, Archbishop of the important German see of Mainz, who was martyred on this day in the year 754, around the age of 80, after several decades of missionary activity in western Germany and the Low Countries. The English historian Christopher Dawson once wrote of him that he “had a deeper influence on the history of Europe than any Englishman who has ever lived;” his feast, however, was not added to the general calendar until 1874. This was done in part as Bl. Pius IX’s response to Bismarck’s _Kulturkampf_, which sought to detach the Catholic Church in Germany from its loyalty to Rome. (je mehr es sich ändert...) Boniface’s first, unsuccessful attempt at preaching the Gospel in Frisia “convinced him that if he was to succeed he must have a direct commission from the Pope; and in 718 he presented himself before St Gregory II in Rome.” (Butler’s Lives). The whole of his subsequent career, included the establishment of the most ancient sees and abbeys of that part of the world, depended on the authority he drew from Rome. St Boniface, by Cornelius Bloemaert, ca. 1630 (Public domainimage from

.)
The curious representation of him with a sword on which a book is spiked derives from a tradition concerning his martyrdom. At the moment when he was attacked by a group of pagans, he was reading a book, which he held above his head to keep it from being damaged by their weapons. (In the mid-8th century, _any_ book was by definition an incredibly rare and precious thing.) His relics were taken to the abbey of Fulda, which he and a disciple, St Sturmi, had founded in 741; the abbey also had the book in question, which was venerated as a relic, its cover marked with sword-cuts, and stains believed to be his blood. The same story is represented in a Sacramentary produced at Fulda around the year 1000, now kept at the State Library of Bamberg. ------------------------- Posted Saturday, June 05, 2021Comments (1)

FRIDAY, JUNE 04, 2021 A FIRST MASS AT ST VINCENT ARCHABBEYGregory DiPippo
Continuing with some recent photopost submissions of first Masses: on Pentecost Sunday, the day after his priestly ordination, Fr Cassian Edwards OSB offered his first Solemn Mass at the basilica of St Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, assisted by his confereres Br Barnabas O’Reilly as deacon, and Fr Boniface Hicks as subdeacon. The vestment set was taken out of the Abbey Art Gallery after many decades and put back to its proper use; it is part of a full abbatial solemn set made in the late 1800s. This was the first “first Mass” offered in the Traditional Rite by a newly ordained priest of the community since the liturgical changes. Our congratulations to Fr Cassian, to his religious family, and to all those who helped him with such a beautiful celebration for his first Mass – feliciter! (All photos courtesy of Mr David Sao.)

St Vincent Archabbey OTHER READINGS FOR THE OCTAVE OF CORPUS CHRISTIGregory DiPippo
The Roman Rite has various ways of arranging the Masses during an octave. That of Easter, for example, has a completely proper Mass forevery day
,
that of Pentecost for every day but Thursday, which was originally an “aliturgical” day; when its Mass was instituted later, it was given proper readings, but everything else is repeated from Sunday. The feast of Ss Peter and Paul is continued with one Mass for the days within the octave, and another for the octave day itself, plus the special Commemoration of St Paul on June 30th.
Some others, however, especially the relatively late ones like Ascension and All Saints, simply repeat the Mass of the day throughoutthe octave.
Folio 87r of the 9th century Lectionary of Alcuin, showing the Epistle then in use for the Octave of Ss Peter and Paul, Galatians 2,6-10.
Corpus Christi, originally instituted in the mid-13th century,
and slow to be received in many places, falls into the latter category, although the Mass of the Sunday within the octave, which is much older than the octave itself, is different. Octaves are for the contemplation of mysteries that are too great for a single day, and it is certainly true that “repetita juvant”, a proverb which the Roman Rite, with its habitual conservatism, historically took verymuch to heart.
In the mid-17th century, most of the churches of France began revising their liturgical books on their own initiative, and without reference to the authority of the Holy See, as part of the liturgical movement which we now often call “neo-Gallican.” Paris was, of course, one of the leaders of this trend, and the first See of importance to change the order of the Breviary Psalter,
which would later become the model for the reformed Psalter of St PiusX
.
When the first neo-Gallican Parisian Missal came out in 1685, the Mass of Corpus Christi remained unchanged. However, the Mass for the Sunday within the Octave was extensively revised to make it fit in more with the theme of the feast. (The neo-Gallican revisers were very fond of easily grasped themes.) The 1602 Paris Missal has the same Epistle as the Roman Rite, 1 John 3, 13-18; the 1685 Missal changes it to 1 Corinthians, 10, 16-21, principally because of the opening words, “The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.” This is clearly very suitable for Corpus Christi, and in fact provides the text for a responsory of the feast which was composed by St Thomas, and found in almost every liturgical Use apart from the Roman. The Gospel, Luke 14, 16-24, beginning with the words “A certain man made a great supper, and invited many,” is left unchanged for obvious reasons. If one Archbishop of Paris could arrogate to his office the right to re-edit the liturgical books used in his See without reference to the Roman authorities, there was no particular reason why subsequent Archbishops should not avail themselves of the same right. Consequently, the liturgical books of Paris went through multiple revisions between 1680 and their definitive abolition in 1873. The most momentous of these were the editions of Abp Charles de Vintimille, the Breviary of 1736, and the Missal of 1738. The frontispiece of the 1685 Parisian Missal; conspicuously absent are the words “ad formam sacrosancti concilii Tridentini emendatum – emended according to the form (laid down by) the sacred council ofTrent.”
This newer revised Parisian Use is in many respects inspired by tradition, but did not shy away from innovations, which vary in quality; in regard to the Mass lectionary, it retained the traditional two-reading structure,
while expanding the corpus of readings considerably. For the octave of Corpus Christi, a separate pair of readings is provided for each day; the Sunday readings of the 1685 Missal are retained as part of theseries.
FRIDAY: Genesis 14, 17-20 – Matthew 26, 26-29 SATURDAY: Exodus 12, 1-11 – Luke 22, 7-20 SUNDAY: 1 Corinthians 10, 12-21 – Luke 14, 16-24 MONDAY: Exodus 16, 13-18 – John 6, 27-35 TUESDAY: Wisdom 16, 20-28 – John 6, 41-44 WEDNESDAY: 2 Corinthians 6, 14 - 7, 1 – John 6, 51-55 THURSDAY: Hebrews 7, 18-28 – John 6, 58-70 The first two of the added Gospel readings are taken from Matthew’s and Luke’s accounts of the Institution of the Eucharist; a parallel passage from St Mark (14, 17-25) is added to the readings assigned for the Votive Mass of the Blessed Sacrament. The four Gospels from John 6 (Monday to Thursday) give a broader selection from the long passage known as the Eucharistic Discourse, ending with St John’s account of St Peter’s confession. “Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away? And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.” Christ Giving the Keys to St Peter, by Perugino, 1482; Sistine Chapel, Vatican City. The background on the left represents Christ speaking to the people at Capharnaum in John 6; on the right, the figures that seem like they are dancing are actually trying to stone Him, in response to some of the sayings like “Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.” In the foreground, St Peter is rewarded for his confessionof Christ.
The passage from Genesis 14 tells of the bread and wine given to Abraham by Melchisedech, the king of Salem, after the defeat of the five kings. These have been taken from the most ancient times as a symbol of the elements of the Eucharist, as described by St Cyprian in the Matins readings of Tuesday within the octave. “In Genesis, therefore, in order that the blessing might in due order be pronounced upon Abraham through the priest Melchisedech, there was first offered the image of the sacrifice, consisting of bread and wine. And the Lord, completing this and perfecting it, offered bread and a cup of wine mingled with water; and He that is the fullness fulfilled the truth of that which was prefigured.” This is also, of course, why Melchisedech is mentioned in the Canon of the Mass. Of the two readings from Exodus, the first is repeated from Good Friday, describing the preparation of the Paschal Lamb; the second is the instruction given to the children of Israel about collecting the manna in the desert. These were certainly inspired by the citation of the same passages in the first two Matins responsories of St Thomas’ Office for Corpus Christi. The second half of the book of Wisdom (from verse 10, 16 to the end) is a long meditation on the events of the Exodus; the passage given above for Tuesday also refers to the manna with which God fed the children of Israel in the desert, and to which Christ and His interlocutors refer in John 6. The words of verse 20, “Thou gavest them bread from heaven ... having in it all that is delicious”, are the versicle of Vespers of the feast, and also sung at Benediction. The Wednesday Epistle from St Paul is included here as an admonition on the proper disposition for reception of the Sacrament: “You are the temple of the living God... Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, perfecting sanctification in the fear of God.” That of the Octave day speaks of the worship of the New Covenant as “a setting aside of the former commandment.” This passage is perhaps also chosen for Corpus Christi as a deliberate rebuke or challenge to the Calvinists (by far the most prominent group of Protestants in France), who often cited the words of verse 27, “Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices first for his own sins, and then for the people’s, FOR THIS HE DID ONCE, IN OFFERING HIMSELF”, against the Catholic doctrine of the Sacrifice of the Mass. The neo-Gallican revisions made a number of very bold changes to the Missal; it was a common preoccupation of the revisers that original liturgical compositions should be replaced with Scriptural quotes, but St Thomas’ Mass for Corpus Christi was already mostly Scriptural anyway, and was therefore left alone in 1685. (Their great enemy of the movement, Dom Prosper Guéranger, speaks of these changes, with classic French _délicatesse_, as “Honteuses et criminelles mutilations, témérités coupables – shameful and criminal mutilations, rash acts deserving of condemnation.”) St. Thomas Aquinas in Glory among the Doctors of the Church, by Francisco de Zurbarán, 1631 One change was then made to it in the Missal of 1738, by replacing the original Communio, “As often as you shall eat this Bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord, until He comes. Therefore whoever eats this Bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily, will be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. Alleluia.” Anticipating one of the more inexcusable changes made by the Novus Ordo lectionary,
this is replaced by an exact quote of Wisdom 16, 20, “Thou didst feed thy people with the food of angels, and gavest them bread from heaven prepared without labour; having in it all that is delicious, and the sweetness of every taste.” The Missal of 1738 has a few other interesting things to note in regard to Corpus Christi. The first is that during the Sequence _Lauda Sion_, the verse “Ecce panis Angelorum” is sung three times on the feast day itself, and on the octave, but only once on the days within the octave. The celebrant and the major ministers kneel when it is sung, while the members of the choir “face the altar until the end of the Sequence.” Abp de Ventimille also added to the Parisian Missal new prefaces for Advent, Holy Thursday (also said at votive Masses of the Sacrament), Corpus Christi, All Saints (also said on the feasts of Patron Saints), Saints Denys and Companions, and for Masses of the Dead. When the neo-Gallican Uses were gradually suppressed over the course of the 19th century, some of their features were retained by being incorporated into the French supplements “for certain places” in the Roman liturgical books, these prefaces among them. Last year’sdecree _Quo magis_
gives universal permission to use those of All Saints and Patron Saints, the Dedication of a Church, and Corpus Christi; the text of the last is as follows:“VD: per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Qui, remótis carnalium victimárum inánibus umbris, Corpus et Sánguinem suum nobis in sacrificium commendávit: ut in omni loco offerátur nómini tuo, quae tibi sola complácuit, oblatio munda. In hoc ígitur inscrutábilis sapientiae, et immensae caritátis mysterio, idipsum quod semel in Cruce perfécit, non cessat mirabíliter operári, ipse ófferens, ipse et oblatio. Et nos, unam secum hostiam effectos, ad sacrum invítat convivium, in quo ipse cibus noster súmitur, recólitur memoria Passiónis eius, mens implétur grátia, et futúrae gloriae nobis pignus datur. Et ídeo... – The high altar of the basilica of San Lorenzo in Lucina in Rome. In the magnificent painting over the high altar, _The Crucifixion_ by Guido Reni (1575-1642), the body of Christ is pale and white against a much darker background, a reminder of the Elevation of the Host during the Mass. The effect can be seen evenwhen one is standing outside the church in the piazza. (Image from Wikimedia Commonsby

Truly it is worthy... through Christ our Lord. Who, the vain shadows of carnal sacrifices being removed, entrusted to us His Body and Blood as a sacrifice; that in every place there may be offered to Thy name that pure sacrifice that alone hath pleased Thee. Therefore, in this mystery of unsearchable wisdom and boundless charity, that very thing which He completed once in the Cross ceaseth not wondrously to have effect, He himself being the one who offers and the offering. And He inviteth us, who are made one victim with Him, to the sacred banquet, in which He himself is received as our food, the memory of His passion is recalled, the mind is filled with grace, and the pledge of future glory is given to us. And therefore with the angels and archangels...”
When the Parisian Missal of 1738 was issued, the feast of the Sacred Heart had not yet been formally approved by Rome, or accepted outside a few religious orders; however, this Missal did fulfill one aspect of the requests made by the Lord to St Margaret Mary Alacoque in His appearances to her. Among the collection of votive Masses is a special Mass “for the reparation of injuries done to Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament”, placed between the votive Mass of the Sacrament and that of the Passion. A rubric after the Octave of Corpus Christi prescribes this Mass be said on the following day, which is now kept everywhere as the feast of the Sacred Heart. The proper texts of this Mass can be read in Latin and English here.

A PRAYER CARD OF THE ANGELUS, AND A RECORDING OF THE VIGIL OFPENTECOST
Gregory DiPippo
Here is a very nice image made by Mr Ján Janovčík, founder and director of the Netherlands-based Early Music ensemble Cantores SanctiGregorii . (We have
previously featured one of their recordings of a medieval Votive Mass of the Blessed Sacrament , which can be purchased for a donation.) It has the Angelus with the _Ave Maria_ set to chant, an English translation on the side, and an image of the Annunciation. It would be a simple matter to print this and laminate it for regular use; if you prefer to work with the pdf format, it is easy to download it here as a jpg and convert it. After a long pause in their activities due to pandemic restrictions, the Cantores Sancti Gregorii recently participated in the celebration of the vigil of Pentecost at the church of St Agnes, home of the FSSP apostolate in Amsterdam. This video features some of the special prophecy tones, and some excellent polyphony by Franco-Flemish composers of the later 15th and early 16th century: the _Sicut cervus_ (v. 3) by Antoine de Févin, the _Missa O Genitrix_ by Jean Richafort, _O Salutaris Hostia_ by anon. (Buscoducensis?), and the _Regina Caeli_ of Antoine Brumel. (The ceremony begins at 14:00, but due to a technical problem, the sound only kicks in at 23:40. The blessing of the font, after which five adults were baptized, is off camera, and cannot be heard very well.) Several years ago, we shared a very nice prayer card with the Angelus on one side and the Regina Caeli on the other, both in English, made by a now long defunct Anglo-Catholic publishingcompany.

THURSDAY, JUNE 03, 2021 A RECENT FIRST MASS IN LOUISIANAGregory DiPippo
It is now the season for ordinations and first Masses, and we have received a few photopost submissions of such events in the last few days, which we are happy to share with our readers. The first one comes from Fr Thomas Kennedy of the diocese of Alexandria, Louisiana, who was ordained to the priesthood on Saturday, May 22, by Bishop Robert Marshall at the cathedral of Saint Francis Xavier in Alexandria, and celebrated his first Solemn Mass the next day at the basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Natchitoches. The Mass was in the Ordinary Form, celebrated _ad orientem_ in Latin and English, and you can see from these photos, very much within the spirit of the Catholic liturgical tradition. The vestments are semi-Gothic works in the Pugin style, made by JH Design Chamber. We gladly offer congratulations to Fr Kennedy and to his diocese, and to all those who served alongside him in such a worthy offering of the Holy Mass - admultos annos!

R. Immolábit haedum multitúdo filiórum Israël ad vésperam Paschae, * et edent carnes et ázymos panes. V. Pascha nostrum immolátus est Christus; ítaque epulémur in ázymis sinceritátis et veritátis. Et edent carnes... This year, the feast of Corpus Christi happens to fall on the same day on which the Martyrology notes the birth into heaven “at Carthage of the holy priest Caecilius, who brought St Cyprian to the faith of Christ.” This Caecilius was the recipient of a letter from Cyprian (PL IV, 372B et seq.), several passages of which show the great antiquity of the exegetical tradition that St Thomas drew upon in composing the Office for the feast. (Cyprian was martyred on September 14, 258, over 1000 years before Thomas’ death.) In chapter 16, he writes, “It was becoming that Christ should make the offering towards evening, so that the very hour of the sacrifice might show the fall and the evening of the world, as it is written in Exodus (12, 6), ‘And all the people of the assembly of the sons of Israel shall slay him in the evening’; and again in the Psalms (140, 2), ‘the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.’ We, however, celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord in the morning.” St Thomas follows the same line of thought in the responsory given above, joining the reference to the evening sacrifice of the Paschal Lamb with words taken from the Epistle of the Mass of Easter Sunday. Likewise, in chapter 5, Cyprian says that “through Solomon also the Holy Spirit, showing beforehand a type of the Lord’s sacrifice, making mention of the victim that was offered, and of the bread and the wine, but also of the altar and the Apostles, said ‘Wisdom built herself a house, and placed it upon seven columns. She offered her sacrifices, she mixed her wine in a bowl, and readied her table, and sent her servant, calling (men) with lofty preaching to her bowl, saying “Let him that is unwise turn aside to me”, and to those lacking sense, she said, “Come ye, eat of my bread, and drink the wine which I have mixed for you.” ’ (Prov. 9, 1-5). She declares that the wine is mixed, that is, she foretells in a prophetic voice the chalice of the Lord mixed with water and wine, so that it may be evident that what was done in the Lord’s Passion had been previously foretold.” A section of the letter to Caecilius which includes these words was introduced into the Office of Corpus Christi by theTridentine reform
,
and is read at Matins on Tuesday within the octave. St Thomas uses the same passage of Proverbs cited by Cyprian to make the first antiphon of Lauds: “Wisdom built herself a house, she mixed the wine and set out the table, alleluia.” The letter was written against the teaching of a group known as the Aquarians, who believed that only water, and not wine, should be used in the Eucharistic sacrifice. Against this, Cyprian adduces words of Psalm 22, which St Thomas chose as the fifth Psalm of Matins. “Also in the Psalms, the Holy Spirit does not keep silent about the mystery of this matter, making mention of the Lord’s chalice and saying, ‘Thy chalice which inebriateth is exceedingly good.’ But a chalice that causes inebriation is certainly mixed with wine, for water (alone) cannot inebriate.” (chapter 11) Melchisedek and Abraham; mosaic in the Basilica of St Mary Major inRome, 440 A.D.
A final and very obvious example is inspired by what the Epistle to the Hebrews says about the figure of Melchisedek (6, 20 – 7, 17). St Cyprian writes, “Again in the priest Melchisedech, we see prefigured the mystery of the Lord’s sacrifice, according to what the Divine Scripture attests and says, ‘And Melchisedeh, the king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine.’ (Gen. 14, 18) He was the priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abraham; and the Holy Spirit declares in the Psalms that he bore a type of Christ, saying in the person of the Father to the Son, ‘Before the daystar I begot thee; thou art a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedech.’ (Psalm 109, 4-5) ... For who is more a priest of God Most High than Our Lord Jesus Christ, who offered a sacrifice to God the Father, and offered this same thing which Melchisedech had offered, that is, bread and wine, which are certainly His body and blood.” (chapter 4) St Thomas brings this to the liturgy with the first antiphon of Vespers on Corpus Christi: “Christ the Lord, who is a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedech, offered bread and wine.” ------------------------- Posted Thursday, June 03, 2021Comments (1)

THE WONDERFUL COLLECT OF CORPUS CHRISTIMichael P. Foley
_The Eucharist_, 1660, artist unknown._LOST IN TRANSLATION #57_ Despite assertions to the contrary, the Mass formulary and Office for the feast of Corpus Christi were almost certainly composed by St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) at the behest of Pope Urban IV. (Dr Donald Prudlo gives an outstanding overview of the origins of the feast here.)
That includes the Collect for the feast: > Deus, qui nobis sub Sacramento mirábili passiónis tuae memoriam > reliquisti: tríbue, quáesumus, ita nos Córporis et Sánguinis tui > sacra mysteria venerári, ut redemptiónis tuae fructum in nobis > júgiter sentiámus: Qui vivis et regnas. Which I translate as: > O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament hast left us a memorial of > Thy passion: grant us, we beseech, to venerate the sacred mysteries > of Thy body and blood in such a way that we may ever sense within us > the fruit of Thy redemption. Who livest and reignest. The prayer, which is inspired by Biblical passages such as Luke 22, 19 and 1 Corinthians 11, 24-26 that describe Jesus instituting the Eucharist during the Last Supper, is noteworthy as an early example of an oration addressed to Jesus Christ, a practice that has been the subject of recent discussion (see hereand
here
).
Further, the Collect is a useful reminder of various Catholic doctrines concerning the Eucharist. First, the Blessed Sacrament--and the Mass that confects it--is not a reenactment of the Last Supper but a re-presencing of the suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. As the Epistle reading for the feast reminds us, “For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until He come.” (1 Cor. 11, 26) Second, by mentioning the sacred mysteries of Christ’s body _and _blood during a feast dedicated only to the Lord’s body, the Collect indirectly calls our attention to the doctrine of concomitance, the belief that even the smallest particle of the Host contains not only the whole of Christ’s body, but also His blood, soul, and divinity as well. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead means that what was separated on Good Friday (blood, body, and soul) has been reunited. And His Ascension into Heaven, where He sits in glory at the right hand of the Father, means that the reunion shall last forever: never again is Christ’s blood to be separate from His body, not even in the different species of His sacrament. As Aquinas writes in his magnificent sequence for the Mass, _Lauda Sion Salvatorem._ > Caro cibus, sanguis potus: > Manet tamen Christus totus > Sub utráque specie. > A sumente non concísus, > Non confractus, non divísus: > Integer accípitur. Which I translate as: > Flesh as food, blood as drink, > Yet the whole Christ remains > Under either kind. > By being consumed > He is not cut up, broken, or divided: > He is received in His entirety. In other words--and this brings us to our third point--the Blessed Sacrament is truly wonderful. Our current bodies are marvelous things, a source of artistic and scientific amazement, but St Paul tells us that they are a mere acorn in comparison to the tree that will be our glorified bodies, the kind that Jesus Christ currently has thanks to the Resurrection. His risen body is an object of far greater wonder because it defies the laws of space, time, and matter as we know them. It is that marvelous risen body that we receive in the Eucharist, and it is one of the reasons why we will never fully understand this sacrament. In the words of the Sequence: > Quod non capis, quod non vides, > Animósa firmat fides, > Praeter rerum órdinem. Which I translate as: > What you do not grasp, what you do not see, > An ardent Faith confirms > Outside the order of things. Finally, the petition asks that veneration of the Eucharist will lead not simply to the fruit of redemption but to our _feeling_ this fruit. Salvation, friendship with God, and theosis (which I take to be among the fruits of redemption) are great and wonderful things, but the only thing better than having them is knowing that you have them and rejoicing in them. Indeed, we may view the feast of Corpus Christi as an attempt to make this wish come true. By exciting our love for the Lord in His Blessed Sacrament, the feast aspires to fill us with a holy joy. For as we sing in the Sequence about this feast: > Sit laus plena, sit sonóra, > Sit jucunda, sit decóra > Mentis jubilatio. Which I translate as: > Let our praise be full, let it resound, > Let our heart's jubilation > Be sweet and charming. ------------------------- Posted Wednesday, June 02, 2021Comments (2)

TUESDAY, JUNE 01, 2021 A 15TH CENTURY ILLUSTRATED GOSPEL BOOKGregory DiPippo
The illustration for this past Sunday’s post on the feast of theHoly Trinity
was taken from a Gospel lectionary for major feasts produced in the area of Konstanz in southern Germany ca. 1470/80. In 1658, it was given as a gift to the abbot of San Gallen in Switerland, and is still kept to this day in the abbey’s famous library, which is also home to many of the most important surviving chant manuscripts. There are a total of 17 illustrations placed before the Gospels of the various feasts, the work of at least two different artists, plus images of the symbols of the four Evangelists.
The images are very finely detailed, but the illuminated letters at the beginnings of the Gospel readings are mostly very simple, and there are marginal decorations on only a few pages. The complete manuscripts can be seen at the following link: https://www.e-codices.unifr.ch/en/thumbs/csg/0368/ (Codex Sangallensis 368; all images CC BY-NC 4.0).

Labels: Gospel books BEAUTY IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE, PART 3: A MEDITATION ON A PAINTING OF CHRIST AS THE ETERNAL FLOWER OF PARADISEDavid Clayton
AN IMAGE OF THE SACRED HEART CONTAINING FLOWERS OF THE TREE OF LIFE INPARADISE
_This is the final article in a series of three. In Part 1,
I developed the idea of the impulse for beauty as a principle for choice that complements the moral conscience. In Part 2,
I suggested ways in which the creative impulse for beauty can be stimulated and formed in our own lives, drawing on the artistic and spiritual tradition of the Church. I now focus on a single painting of the Sacred Heart of Jesus which is embedded with design principles that conform to the pattern of beauty that can permeate our livestoo._
Let us consider an image that is ordered to the number eight in a way that might be surprising. This image is of Christ as the flower of the new Tree of Life, containing a seed that dies and then germinates to new life in us, as described in the Gospel (John 12, 24-26). We who are joined to Christ through the Eucharist can become flowers of paradise too.The 6th-century saint Boethius,
in his book _De institutione arithmetica_, describes the proportion 3:5:8 as one of among ten, which is musically derived. Amongst the others is one he calls The Fourth of Four, one from a group of four related proportions. In this book, Boethius does not ascribe any Christian significance to the numerical relationships; he is simply content to describe the mathematical basis of proportions commonly held to be beautiful. The Christological symbolism comes, I suggest, from the significance of the individual numbers of that proportion in Christian numerology: 3 is the number of the Trinity and spiritual life, 5 is the number of humanity (from the fact that we have five senses), and 8 (the sum of three and five), is the number of Christ, who is simultaneously God and man. This is also, incidentally, the proportion of the idealized man as described by the Roman author Vitruvius in his textbook written for architects in the 1st centuryAD.
The image of the Sacred Heart seen below includes a portrayal of the Flower of Christ in paradise. Each of the four rectangles that form the arms of a cross in the border contains a stylized representation of a plant which consists of a bulb containing a triangle, connected to a stem, which has a five-petalled flower or seed. The bulb, or root, is the Trinity; the five-petalled flower, represents his humanity, and the plant as a whole, numerically represented by the number eight – three plus five – is the Flower of Christ in paradise. The Fruit that comes from this flower is that of the Tree of Life, forbidden to Adam and Eve, and which is now offered to each of us in the Eucharist. Partaking of the divine nature as part of the Church, we too become spiritual flowers in Paradise. Christ is the fruit of those heavenly blooms, and He is offered to those who are drawn in by the sweet fragrance emanating from the flower, which corresponds to the love of Christ we perceive, one hopes, in our lives. It is the beauty of our lives that directs others to the source of that beauty, Christ. The impulse to beauty, that conscience of creativity in our hearts, when attuned to the beauty of Christ, helps us to be by degrees an ever-more brilliantly colored, beautifully formed, and sweetly fragrant Christ-like Flower of Paradise. Unlike the natural flower, this one does not fade, wither and die in time. Rather, it becomes steadily more perfect and radiant in its beauty as we lead a Christian life, reaching the fullness of perfection when we are in union with him in the next life. We become eternal flowers in paradise. “Jesse rejoices and David exults. Behold, like a branch planted by God, the Virgin has brought forth Christ, the eternal flower!” (From Morning Prayer on the Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women, the second after Easter in the Byzantine Rite.) The Maryvale Sacred Heart, painted by David Clayton; egg tempera on wooden panel, based upon a traditional design. The painting above was commissioned in 2005 for the chapel at the Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, England, and is based upon a stained-glass window made in France in the 18th century which is in a side chapel at the Institute, the national center for the devotion tothe Sacred Heart.

MONDAY, MAY 31, 2021 WHY WE SHOULD REVIVE THE OCTAVE OF CORPUS CHRISTI IN THE _USUSANTIQUIOR_
Peter Kwasniewski
On the Thursday nine weeks after Holy Thursday falls the feast of Corpus Christi — specifically, _the Body of Christ_, not the Novus Ordo’s substitute commemoration “the Body and Blood of Christ,” which is in any case usually transferred to Sunday (and is not by any means the same as an “external solemnity”) on account of the hierarchy’s nearly-unanimous surrender to the imperious dictatorship of work. (The traditional calendar, thanks to Pius IX, appropriately includes a feast for the Most Precious Blood of Jesus on July 1st, a theme to which John XXIII dedicated an encyclicalin 1960.) Like the
Ascension, Corpus Christi falls properly on a Thursday: always has, always will, wherever tradition is valued as befits Catholics. Corpus Christi was originally instituted as an _octave_. Whoever believes that Our Lord is really, truly, substantially present in the Most Holy Sacrament would not be able to celebrate this “incomprehensible mystery of love”
for just one day and then move on, like a person checking off a task on his to-do list and moving on to the next. No, there must be the full, rounded, lavish praise of eight days: time stands still and we bask in the glory of the Incarnate God in our midst until the end of time and the end of signs. So obvious is this ecclesial instinct that when Our Lord Himself appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque to ask for the institution of a feast in honor of His Sacred Heart, He specified that it was to take place on “the Friday after the octave of Corpus Christi” (see here for further details). That is _why_ it occurs the Friday of the week following the feast. It has retained this spot in the 1962 and 1969 calendars, a position that would seem rather random in the absence of the octave; it’s like the “ghost pain” where a severed limb used to be, which Descartes used as evidence of the untrustworthiness of the senses. My view is that if the octave’s good with Jesus, it’sgood with me.
Although the abolition of this octave was one of many egregious _preconciliar _liturgical deformations that happened under Pius XII, mid-way between the gutting of the Psalter (1911) and the gutting of the entire Roman rite (1969 and environs), today we may rejoice that, thanks to discreet indications from the quondam Pontifical Commission _Ecclesia Dei_, the octave of Corpus Christi may be observed today, in this happy period of the restoration of the Tridentine rite. The 2020 Ordo for the _Usus Antiquior_, published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, indicates that the Octave of Corpus Christi may be observed in some fashion. (Incidentally, it also says that the Preface of the Nativity may be used.) It doesn’t explain _how _it is it to be observed, but probably assumes that anyone who is competent to read these rubrics in Latin can figure out from an old missal what to do. Here is a photo of the page from the 2021 Ordo:_Technically_
what this is saying is that where it has been a traditional practice to hold special devotions, with the faithful, on the days formerly within the Octave of Corpus Christi, these devotions may be continued. Where a procession takes place on these days, two Masses of the Most Holy Eucharist are permitted as Votive Masses of the II cl. (_Missale Romanum_, 1962 edition, rubric after the Mass of Corpus Christi): “Septem sequentibus diebus, ubi fit processio, permittuntur duae Missae de SS. Eucharistia: (61), ad modum Missae votivae II classis.” Yet in the current context where so much pre-55 restoration has already taken place, we can intuit the appropriateness of adopting _tout court _the octave that originally existed and which Our Savior Himself took into account in His Providence. As I’ve mentioned on other occasions, Anglophone traditionalists are sometimes too legalistic when it comes to asking and waiting for explicit “permissions” from “the Vatican” to do X, Y, or Z. The way things are done in Rome is very Italian: hints are dropped, nudges are given, a quiet wave of the hand. Often, the lack of a prohibition or an outcry in view of obviously known cases can be construed as “soft” approval to continue. This is very important for restoring the fullness of the Roman Rite of the Mass (especially its calendar), which suffered intensifying depradations of bad taste and bad theology from the 1940s onward, beginning with the “Si Diligis” Mass for Supreme Pontiffs. And when you think about it, this way of proceeding makes sense. It would be a form of suicide for anyone at the Vatican to issue express permission to go back on what has been pushed forward by a succession of popes and curial decrees; but by allowing restoration to spread unchecked, good things happenand no one is hurt.

(p. 130) Lastly, St. John Henry Newman, in his _Sermon Notes _for the Sunday within the Octave of Corpus Christi (May 25, 1856, not intended for publication), expressed the following eminently Catholic sentiments, which we would do well to adopt and internalize once againas our own:
> There is no feast, no season in the whole year which is so > intimately connected with our religious life, or shows more > wonderfully what Christianity is, as that which we are now > celebrating …. The world is in wickedness. > Satan is god of the world; unbelief rules.
