We have begun learning a new setting of the ordinaryparts of the Holy Mass. The “ordinary parts” are thoseparts commonly used and that do not change from one Mass to another. For example, the prayers the priest prays on behalf of the congregation change from Mass to Mass. However, things like the Kyrie, the Gloria, the Creed (which can also be chanted instead of recited), the Sanctus (Holy, holy), and the Agnus Dei are consistent. These are examples of the ordinary parts. Our parishioner and seminarian, Deacon Jerome Krug, anticipates ordination to the priesthood this summer. His First Solemn Mass will be here on Sunday, June 30, at the 10:30 am Mass. As part of his planning for that Mass he has asked us to use the new setting we are now learning. This setting is…

I want to make you aware of two opportunities for the grant of an indulgence. These grants come with two traditional practices of our Catholic culture. I try to give attention to many such practices that have been lost over the last decades and to make us aware of them. I do this because our faith and its practice is not a sterile laboratory within the church walls. It impacts the whole of our lives and touches upon many aspects of life, extending itself well beyond the ritual of the Holy Mass. The Marian antiphon we chant seasonally is one such example of instructing us in Catholic culture. The recent Rorate Mass of Advent is another example. The blessing of the bambinelli, Epiphany chalk, etc…

Quiero darles a conocer dos oportunidades para obtener una indulgencia. Éstas oportunidades se dan con dos prácticas tradicionales de nuestra cultura Católica. Yo intento dar atención a muchas prácticas que se han perdido a lo largo de las últimas décadas y hacérlas de su conocimiento. Hágo esto porque nuestra fé y su práctica no es un laboratorio estéril dentro de las paredes de la iglesia. Éstas impactan nuestra vida entera y tocan muchos aspectos de la vida, extendiéndose mucho más allá del ritual de la Santa Misa. La antífona Mariana que cantamos cada temporada es un ejémplo de ésta instrucción para nosotros en está cultura Católica. La reciente Misa de Rorate de Adviento es otro ejémplo. La bendición de los Niños Dios, el gis de la Epifanía, etc…
