Re: Guide for Accompanying Mass
FrGareth, do you plan on adding a copyleft notice to your equally-helpful "Celebrant’s Guides: Mass Planning a Mass: an A to Z for the Perplexed" found at http://www.drgareth.info/MassPlan.pdf ? I'll do that when I get round to updating the document you mention in the light of the 2011 Mi...

Re: Ordo Queries
CHRISTMAS WEEK Now a question FROM me, since this is a broad-based topic. Is anyone aware of clear written instructions on what happens to the Psalter Week following Christmas Day? Some treatments seem to assume that the beginning of Christmastide "resets" the counter in the same way that...

The explanation at the start of this thread is quite correct. Techies may discover the handiwork of a wikipedian called Gleyshon here....

Re: Ordo Queries
VIGIL ISSUE There are two distinct issues concerning Sundays and other Holy Days of Obligation. Q1. What do you have to do to fulfil your obligation? Q2. Which Mass should the priest celebrate? --- A1. To fulfil your obligation to attend Mass on the N'th of Monthember, you can attend any valid Mass...

Re: Guide for Accompanying Mass
Thanks to Peter for a thorough set of observations... Gerald Markland’s “Lord, Have Mercy” (HON 323) doesn't fall into the Kyrie Eleison format of a triple acclamation of what God has done, so fails to qualify for the same reasons as “Look around you” - though perhaps the refrain alone might find ap...

Re: When is the time for adoration and confession?.
Adoration: after Mass is the ideal, by exposing the Blessed Sacrament with a Host consecrated at that Mass, and beginning adoration following the Prayer After Communion, with no dismissal. BUT... in the real world there are very practical reasons for doing it different ways - e.g. a short break to c...

Funeral Liturgies in Theory and in Practice
Personal and anecdotal evidence suggests that priest colleagues and myself are experiencing more and more requests for "personal" tributes at Catholic funerals (poems, favourite CD tracks) which don't sit easily with the Order of Christian Funerals (OCF). I am struggling with the best way ...

Hymns that Don't Quite Fit the Metre
Ah! It's Advent again, so out comes the Alma for the end of Compline, at least in my own personal devotions (no public Compline in my parish). The Breviary offers a 10.10.10.10.10.10 English translation... with only one snag. The last line is "Thou Virgin first and last, let us thy mercy see&qu...

Re: Guide for Accompanying Mass
First, could I say that the concept of a useful summary like this is a really good idea. You could indeed, and I thank you for doing so. At the very least it would be good to have a thread running on the forum along these lines. I'm not a musician myself, so I leave it to those with the appropriate...

Please feel free to circulate with attribution - on the last page there is now a "copyleft" notice to that effect and a note of thanks to contributors on this forum!

Re: Guide for Accompanying Mass
Those defending the use of organ voluntaries in Advent seem to be correct. I have been led astray by old information - for the debate around this topic, see McNamara!

Re: Guide for Accompanying Mass
Thank you everyone for responses so far - I have made a few tweaks in the light of your comments, and the second draft is now online. I didn't state so explicitly, but my working assumption is that accompanying musicians are much more common than willing cantors, and so I am nodding in the direction...

Guide for Accompanying Mass

Wesley Music, anyone?
I've recently changed parish and am now in a place where most funerals will involve Cardiff's Thornhill Crematorium. At Thornhill there are two chapels, the smaller of which does not have a facility for a live organist to play. Both chapels are equipped with the " Wesley Music " automated ...

Re: Paralympics
I don't see too many disabled priests, bishops or cardinals around. Didn't there used to be something in Canon Law that required priests to be able bodied? To what extent is cerebral palsy or even learning difficulty a bar to the priesthood... I believe that in the old code of canon law there was s...
