Re: Cost

Don't rely on your phone. The responsorial psalm materials sent to publishers and composers by the Liturgy Office contain myriads of typos, errors and inconsistencies. It is not known if the actual lectionary will be the same. If this is also reflected in what eventually becomes available via ...

However the lyrics are not specific to the Spiritan (Holy Ghost) Fathers, and it can be used by lay-people and ones from any religious ...

Many thanks, Dom P ! Not sure I like the sound of "forumites", though. A bit too close to Sodomites for comfort...... ;)

Re: Triduum Planning

The very difficult issue we suffer from is that readers are very reluctant to practice, so when everyone else - cleaners, sacristan. servers, flowers and musicians are at the top of their game ..... readers are often ill-prepared and stumble and mispronounce. Mentions of this problem go down like a ...

Re: Mary How Sweetly Falls that Word

Although your documentation shows that this hymn appeared in the St Basil Hymnal until the 1950s, that hymnal was never used on this side of the Pond. I have never heard of either the hymn or its author. It has not appeared in any UK hymnal in recent times.

The Advent Wreath

Yes, Advent may seem a long way off, but it begins in just two months from now. Here are some thoughts about the Advent Wreath, a subject that can sometimes arouse controversy. I wonder if yours is one of the many parishes where the Advent Wreath is blessed at the beginning of every Mass during ...

Re: New Translation of the Lectionary incoming

I am sufficiently comfortable as a female member of the human race not to be bothered about 'inclusive' language, except that it make for some very clumsy edits in psalms and hymns. I find replacing every use of the words 'he, him, his' with 'God, who, whose' is a pain aesthetically and vocally. It ...
