Re: Eucharistic Adoration
In my parish we have Eucharistic Adoration most Saturdays for forty minutes before the noon Mass. Attendance is not great but the opportunity is appreciated by those who come - not always the same faces. Anecdotal observations (as I travel round the country in connection with my work) suggest Euchar...

Re: Optional Gloria?
On a related point, many folk have asked what to do now that the Mike Anderson "Clapping Gloria" can no longer be licitly used. I always wondered what was the most appropriate response of the lay faithful when confronted by the 'Clapping Gloria': dignified silence, sullen insolence or who...

Heritage Open Days
The annual Heritage Open Days long weekend is 12-15 September this year. Heritage Open Days strike me as a good opportunity to reach out to the wider community in our local neighbourhood, invite people in and show something of what we believe and how we worship, in addition to the infrastructure and...

Re: Sede Vacante and the Liturgy
give us a noble, simple and correct English vernacular translation? Therein lies a conundrum: in the world of global communications 'correct English' and 'vernacular' both become rather nebulous and often at odds. The global influence of the US, marketing and business-speak all contribute to a cons...

Excellent and innovative.

Worldwide Eucharistic Adoration ???
With odd exceptions, this seemed to be a non-event in England and Wales.

The Tablet on-line has a brief but interesting account of Marc Cardinal Ouellet's homily addressed to the bishops on retreat. http://www.thetablet.co.uk/latest-news/5237

Re: New Pope
What is even more curious than Fr Gunter's interpretation, is the fact that we do eucharist frequently but wash feet only once a year at a poorly attended Mass in Holy Week. I imagine attendance must vary widely from parish to parish. The Holy Thursday Mass is nearly 'full house' and getting volunt...

Re: Sunday working
I have been informed recently that I will have to work on Sundays. Does anyone know the legal position on this? JQ Nick's link very usefully summarises the legal position. If you do not work in the retail or betting sectors 'the devil is in the detail' - as the saying goes. In those circumstances i...

Making time for prayer before Mass
Owing to the plethora of roles many of we lay faithful undertake - musicians; readers; servers; distributors of prayer cards / hymn books / newsletters; helpers of the infirm; greeters of the faithful and newcomers, preparing the parish hall etc. - we can all become very busy, even overwhelmed, with...

Re: Is there a place for dance within Catholic Liturgy
In the case of music/singing, I believe there can be a very fine line between what adds to the depth of Mass and what is a distraction from worship. With dance I can only see it as a distraction. That's my personal view.

Re: Is there a place for dance within Catholic Liturgy
Personally I would find dance distracting - by its very nature it is a performance, may well lead to a focus on vanity rather than worship and it is certainly non-inclusive, if not overtly elitist.
