What makes the Ordinariate Mass, called Divine Worship, so beautiful?

Where does one begin?


Divine Worship captures the intentions of the Second Vatican Council by preserving continuity between the riches of former times, gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the gifts of the Holy Ghost being manifest in present times.
  1. Beautiful poetry found in traditional English hymns and prayers, vehicles through which the truth, beauty and goodness of God are communicated.
  2. Respect for liturgical norms that form us in the way of authentic prayer, and respect for Sacred Tradition.
  3. Ad orientem worship, God-oriented worship according to ancient practice which preserves orthodox belief.
  4. Sacred polyphony, especially motets and settings of the Ordinary (unchanging) chants: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus/Benedictus, Agnus Dei.
  5. Preservation of the (minor) Proper chants: Introit, Gradual, Alleluia Verse, Offertory and Communion.
  6. Beautiful vestments that envelop the imagination with beauty pointing to the sacred.
  7. Orthodox preaching that invites souls into communion with the Word, Jesus Christ, the Way and the Truth and the Life.
  8. Profound respect for the Holy Eucharist.
  9. Reverence for the Word of God, the Holy Bible.
  10. Fellowship after Mass; holy conversation; the spiritual practice of hospitality (charity in action) for the edification and salvation of souls.

20 Additional Signs You Might Just Be In A(n) Heterodox Parish

AI generated image. Prompt: Female minister dancing on altar with incense. The Sign of Peace becomes the Dance of Peace. The tabernacle is not anywhere to be seen. There's no business like show business like no business I know. Everything about it is appealing, everything the pastor will allow. Nowhere could you get that happy feeling when you are stealing that extra bow. Blessings of couples in irregular unions doesn't even come close to describing the oddities going on. The altar doubles as a billiard table that is used during meetings of the Knights of Columbus . Unsanctioned modifications to the Mass include they/them pronouns for God and the saints. The statues of Mary and Joseph have been replaced with Murray and Joseph. Traditional liturgical colors have been replaced with an alphabet soup of washed-out tints carefully selected by the Parish Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity Council. The favoured incense is Social Justice Blend... for "High" Mass. Votive and al

... you rarely (if ever) hear the following phrases. "Party like it's A.D. 1570!" "We should sing more plainchant at this parish." "I'd like to thank the choir for their sublime rendition of the Mass For Five Voices by William Byrd." "I just love the way the four torchbearers process in with such dignity." "People treat the Host like a snack. I think it's time we went back to communion on the tongue." "My entire family goes to Confession every week." "We need a central Tabernacle on the altar." "The altar servers' lace cottas are so beautiful." "I just love Father Steve's sermons about the Real Presence and living a Eucharistic life." "People are leaving in droves for Saint Pius X Parish and the reverent Mass there. Do you think we're doing something wrong here at Harvey Milk Parish?" "I'm thrilled that the design for the new church includes a choir loft.

A Meditation: Virtue Versus Hollywood Values

Napa Institute Procession, Oct. 10, 2023 | Zach Fiedler According to Catholic Church teachings, virtue is defined as: A stable disposition of the intellect and will that governs our actions, orders our passions, and guides our conduct in accordance with reason and faith. [1,2] Virtues are habitual and firm dispositions to do good. [3] They are not just random good deeds, but a deep-rooted goodness that becomes an integral part of a person's character. [3] Virtues enable us to freely choose the right course of action and have a tendency towards what is good. [3] There are human virtues, such as the four cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. [1] These virtues order our lives in society. [6] There are also theological virtues, which raise us to a divine life, such as faith, hope, and charity. [5] The goal of virtuous living is to become like God - to grow in holiness and moral perfection. [5] Virtues are not just acquired through human effort, but also by t

That 70s Vatican Show

Satire may be mad and anarchic, but it presupposes an admitted superiority in certain things over others; it presupposes a standard. -  G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy A poke at folk whose actions past and present could invite considerably more. (T)he real disloyalty is not speaking the truth with love. And that word “love” is not some free-floating balloon of goodwill. It’s an empty shell without the truth to fill it. In Brazil in 2013, the Holy Father encouraged young people to “make a mess.” That’s come to pass in ways surely unintended by the pope. But in the end, pastoral leaders are accountable for their words and their actions. Because, as St. Paul said so long ago, “God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” - Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., is the Archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia Afflict the comfortable; comfort the afflicted. That 70s Vatican Show , a fashion extravaganza, featured designs promoting a rabid retro vibe. Organizer Fr. James Martin SJ, taking his cue from t
