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.

Life At The Altar Rail: 22 Behaviours Categorized

Cantius/NLM [ 4 min read ] Some communicants make things interesting (...tricky, delicate, awkward, awesome...) at The Communion. Now don't get the wrong idea. Spoofing one's brothers' and sisters' behaviour is not meant to be proof of one's own moral or spiritual superiority. There's always a need to keep in mind the heart of another when lampooning (or celebrating) the externals, as curious or as laudable as those externals might be. The Moving Target: either the head or the tongue is moving a mile a minute. A good patener knows how to tame the fidget. See also #18: The Rubberneck. The Obstacle Course: fingertips touching the chin or mouth making it difficult for the patener to place the paten beneath the chin. The Curtain: face is completely covered with a veil. The NOFB (Not Open For Business): closed eyes, closed mouth; despite the need for a gentle prompt, typically a deeply reverent person. The Taker: wants to steal the Host from the priest.

You Know You're In A Progressive Catholic Parish When... .

... 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.

You know you're a REAL altar server when... .

In a movie theatre, you genuflect before entering the aisle to take a seat. Riding a bus, sitting in class or at the doctor's office, and/or when watching TV, you rest your hands palms down on your thighs, finger tips at your knees. You can identify each and every variety of incense used in the Mass simply by its scent. You habitually wear black socks and black dress shoes... even when wearing shorts for gym class or at the beach. You turn a perfect right angle when entering a building. You have nightmares about serving Mass at the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress. You hear a bicycle bell ring and you drop to your knees. You can't resist the urge to lift a curtain from the bottom. You have a copy of Ceremonies of the Roman Rite Described by Adrian Fortescue on your smartphone for recreational reading. You have a copy of Ritual Notes (11th Edition) on your smartphone for recreational reading. As a torchbearer, you can carry a processional candle without spilling one dr

Clash of the Titans: Strickland v. Martin

Elijah versus the prophets of Baal [ 4 min read ] A prophet is not without honour except... . From the Catholic Herald an article by John Lavenburg . Bishop Joseph Strickland on the “basic truths” which include: Christ established only the Catholic Church. It is (a) sacrilege for anyone to unworthily receive communion. Marriage is between one man and one woman. Every human person is created in the image and likeness of God and shouldn’t be supported in attempts to reject their biological identity. Sexual activity outside of marriage is a grave sin. The belief that all men and women will be saved regardless of how they live their lives is false and dangerous. In order to follow Jesus Christ all must willingly choose to take up their cross. “We must hold fast to these truths and be wary of any attempts to present an alternative to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or to push for a faith that speaks of dialogue and brotherhood, while attempting to remove the fatherhood of God.
