The Saint Peter Gradual at The National Catholic Register!

Fr. Carl Reid, General Editor

Peter Jesserer Smith (PJS) articulates the details of the new and beautiful Saint Peter Gradual available from Newman House Catholic Books.


Father Carl Reid, an Ordinariate priest serving Blessed John Henry Newman parish in Victoria, Canada and editor of the St. Peter Gradual told the Register that the Ordinariate’s Anglican patrimony can help English-speaking Catholics in the “actual participation” of the liturgy as envisioned by the Second Vatican Council.

“These chants are for the faithful, fostering a rhythm of liturgical prayer by taking up threads of Sacred Scripture at various points during the Eucharistic celebration and weaving them into a tapestry of praise for God, whom we worship in the beauty of holiness,” said Bishop (Steven) Lopes, (Bishop of the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter) who also serves on the doctrine committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

TRUE PARTICIPATION IN THE MASS

"I was gathered into the offering of the Son to the Father. I participated in the self-offering of God today."

FEATURED SCRIPTURE | Revelation 8:1-5

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, loud noises, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
