Re: Misplaced addition to the rite?
SC, I agree the publication re Corpus Christi is no longer on the LO website. It was called Celebrate and I think the one on Corpus Christi was one of a series perhaps aimed at enabling a deeper celebration of those feasts moved to a Sunday. I am sure that a request at the LO will rediscover the ori...

Re: Misplaced addition to the rite?
Re Southern Comfort's proposal ... I believe this might have been mentioned in a Liturgy Office publication about Celebrating the feast. I wonder if it was also there that it was suggested that this might be a better day for concentraton on all ministry within the Body of Christ ... all of us becomn...

Re: Terrors of the Triduum
During Saturday's Sung Office of Readings and Morning Prayer (with RCIA preparatory rites) we heard the merry trickling of water. It turned ut to be the filling of the hired octagonal pool in which adult baptisms would occur that evening. These sounds replaced those from earlier years of devout Pole...

Re: Misplaced addition to the rite?
Happy Easter I read Fr McNamara's response on Zenit to a similar question about deacons being committed (sic) during the Chrism Mass. He was opposed to it since he saw Chrism Mass as something for priests with the connection to eucharist and Holy Thursday's 'Do this in memory of me'. A rather narrow...

Re: Baptisms en masse
Quite so SC. I can recall about 18 years ago, at St Ignatius Stamford Hill, the much-missed Kevin Donovan (assisted by 3 other priests) baptising about 40 adults. 4 garden ponds were arranged in a cruciform and believe me the baptised had to retire to change ... they were soaked through. Anyone who ...

Re: Mothering Sunday
We had no sentimentality until the end of Mass when those presumed to be mothers were given daffodils or, to be precise, a daffodil. Every year when it comes to Father's Day I wait to see if the priests dish out any thing for the dads but have never been aware of this. What would you dads want your ...

Re: Yamaha Clavinova
I have a clavinova upstairs linked into a recording studio. I used to use it all the time but now have a Bluthner grand and 3-man Wyvern downstairs so it only gets used occasionally now.

Re: composers forum ... help
Thomas, I am sure that the date you have will turn out to be the correct one. A brief convesration with my bishop just before I left for hot climes indicated that there would be a clash with the date we had chosen for the SSG composers meeting. I am without my diary here in India and therefore pleas...

composers forum ... help
Can someone please contact the Convenor of the composers group to let him know that there might be a problem about the Sheffield meeting ... I think we fixed June 6 and our Bishop will be ordaining that day and the room we have assigned will be in use. It might be possible to re-site the meeting via...

Re: Music for infant funeral
It's too late now to comment on the funeral but I would offer Cradling Song by John Bell in the 'When grief is raw' collection. It may be that you only offer the text or recording (I will not sing alone CD) as food for thought for them or those who, in friendship and trust, are able to go deep some ...

Re: Teaching the teachers
Unfortunately it is often the case that what we are led to believe may be nothing more than received teaching rather than indeed the teaching of the Church. I have been led to believe some absurd things but I was also led to believe that the Mass is itself the principal moment of forgiveness for mos...

Re: Teaching the teachers
I was in another primary school for the end of term 'almost Christmas' Mass. I had already met with the headteacher and priest to discuss what this might be .. they wanted something different from what had been their usual experience. The process was not without its pain but I think the result was w...

Re: Ding Dong Merrily on high - need pronunciation help
Earlier I wrote "I don't suppose that there is anything laid down other than what the pronunciation of those vowels in the Greek words Alpha and Omega actually is and therefore Ah and O (as in God). " Having pursued this with a higher authority outside this forum I now realise that the O i...

Re: Ding Dong Merrily on high - need pronunciation help
I don't suppose that there is anything laid down other than what the pronunciation of those vowels in the Greek words Alpha and Omega actually is and therefore Ah and O (as in God). But unless you are planning on providing the congregation with a linguistics lesson prior to Night Mass I would probab...
