DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The Sacred Liturgy is not a hobby for specialists. It is central to all our endeavors as disciples of Jesus Christ. This profound reality cannot be over emphasized. We must recognize the primacy of grace in our Christian life and work, and we must respect the reality that in this life the optimal encounter with Christ is in the Sacred Liturgy." With these words Bishop Dominique Rey of Fréjus-Toulon, France, opened Sacra Liturgia 2013, an international conference in which he brought together over twenty leading liturgists, cardinals, bishops and other scholars from around the world to emphasize the centrality of liturgical formation and celebration in the life and mission of the Church. "The New Evangelization must be founded on the faithful and fruitful celebration of the Sacred Liturgy as given to us by the Church in her tradition - Western and Eastern," Bishop Rey asserted. Sacra Liturgia 2013 - the proceedings of which this book publishes - explored questions of liturgical art, architecture, music, the ars celebrandi, the importance of ritual in human psychology, truly pastoral liturgy, the place of the older liturgical rites in the New Evangelization, liturgical formation, liturgical law, the role of the diocesan bishop in respect of the liturgy, and more. Sacred Liturgy - The Source and Summit of the Life and Mission of the Church is an important resource in ongoing liturgical formation for clergy, religious and laity, and makes a significant contribution to that renewal promoted in the Pontificate of Benedict XVI. That is the renewal which embraces the riches of liturgical tradition as valuable treasures, seeks to read the Second Vatican Council according to a hermeneutic of continuity, not rupture, and is in no doubt that, as Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger once wrote, "the true celebration of the Sacred Liturgy as the center of any renewal of the Church."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Cross was present at the Eucharist in early Christianity as an idea, a gesture, and an object. Over time, these different actualizations of the quintessential symbol of Christianity have generated important questions about their meaning and function, among them: is the Eucharist a meal and/or a sacrifice? Can the sign of the Cross illuminate the absence of a Roman epiclesis? Is it pertinent -historically and theologically - to use an altar Cross? In this study, Daniel Cardó explores the relation between the Cross and the Eucharist. Offering a thorough and fresh reading of patristic and Roman liturgical texts, he identifies their emphases and common themes on the Cross and the Eucharist, and demonstrates their significance for the liturgical debates of recent decades.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of a first-place award for a first time author and second-place in popular presentation of the faith from the Catholic Media Association. During the past five decades, the Second Vatican Council has been alternately celebrated or maligned for its supposed break with tradition and embrace of the modern world. But what if we’ve gotten it all wrong? Have Catholics—both those who embrace the spirit of Vatican II and those who regard it with suspicion—misunderstood what the council was really about? Fr. Blake Britton discovered the truth and beauty of the council while he was in seminary and he has witnessed firsthand the power of its teachings in the life of his own parish. In Reclaiming Vatican II—a partnership between Ave Maria Press and Word on Fire Catholic Ministries—Britton presses beyond the political narrative foisted upon the post-conciliar Church and contends that Vatican II was neither conservative nor liberal, but something much more beautiful and challenging. Britton clears up misconceptions about the council and reveals how—when properly understood and applied—it fosters a richer experience of being in the Church. Britton says Vatican II promotes a radical return to the Church Fathers and the Scriptures, holding both a commitment to tradition and the need for constant renewal in life-giving balance, recenters the Church on sacred liturgy and encourages both active participation and genuine encounter with transcendence, and charts a clear path for the Church’s renewal and empowers it for evangelism and transformative engagement with the world. Britton invites all Catholics to step beyond the polarization and embrace Vatican II as one of our greatest resources for being in the Church in a way that is faithful, engaged, and effective if we answer its radical call to worship and renewal.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purposes of this thesis project are to explore the history of the role of the Master of Ceremonies within the Catholic Tradition of the Latin Rite, to propose a new functioning ministry within the Local Church, and to address the changing landscape of the Catholic parishes. Evidence of the faithful assisting during the liturgy is found in liturgical documents as early as 710 in the Roman Ordinals as well as suggestions from scripture (Acts 6:1-6) and letters from early Popes. In light of the long history of this role, and, in particular, the role of the Caerimoniarius in the Sacred Liturgy, specific activities are set forth that could be the responsibility of a Master of Ceremonies serving an individual parish. This project is meant to be an informative, practical guide for men or women who may wish to assist with or need to perform this special ministry within the Church. Churches today are experiencing changes that enhance the need for a designated and trained person to serve as Master of Ceremonies, not only for Episcopal events but on the local and specific parish level as well. As parishes are linked, consolidated, merged, or closed, the size of these hybrid congregations typically increases. In such instances, a Master of Ceremonies could give direction and consistency to parish liturgical celebrations, overseeing all aspects of them. With parishes being combined and new and larger churches being built, there is an increased need for someone, namely a Master of Ceremonies, to coordinate the celebrationss and individuals involved. A Master of Ceremonies can provide not only continuity from one church to the next, but continuity between priests and liturgical ministers within the same parish. This person would, by his or her bearing and purpose, command the respect needed to coordinate a particular event of all the other ministerial positions. This individual would be familiar with the liturgical directives of the Latin Rite Ceremonies of the Church, the Ceremonial of Bishops, and the Roman Pontifical. He or she would take charge as an authorized host in the name of the Church. Trained to act as a Master of Ceremonies, he or she would have studied the details and nuances of the special liturgical event so as to not only understand this role, but to be able to coordinate, facilitate, and lead the ceremonies as the directives and rites have been established. Thereby providing the faithful with consistent, good and spiritually uplifting worship through the detailing and execution of all celebrated Roman Catholic "Rites and Rituals."
