The ‘Grandpa Gang’
Strikes Again!
Thank you for all your hard work on
beautifying our Court Yard, trimming all
the bushes.
Take a look for yourself and see the
beautiful work they have done.
Today’s column is Part 2 of my series on the Extraordinary
Form of the Roman Rite. If you want to skip to the end of the whole se-
ries, you may watch a youtube video instead. The full address is: https://
youtu.be/jqkqc2-iteQ However, a search of “1940 Latin Mass Full Ver-
sion” ought to find it. It is a movie of a solemn high Mass for Easter
Sunday at the Basilica of O.L. of Sorrows in Chicago, narrated by Arch-
bishop Fulton Sheen. It’s a really excellent way to learn about the Mass
(new or old), but the picture and sound quality are pretty deteriorated.
If you’re still with me, I will begin with the different “qualities”
of Mass. A solemn high Mass is celebrated by the priest, assisted by a
deacon and subdeacon and choir. Each one has particular parts which
they must sing. A pontifical Mass is a solemn high Mass celebrated by
the bishop, with additional ceremonies. A high Mass, or missa cantata,
is celebrated by the priest without a deacon and subdeacon. The choir
and priest must sing all the parts that are sung at solemn Mass. A low
Mass is celebrated by the priest without the choir, and the priest must
read the parts which would otherwise be sung by priest, deacon, subdea-
con, and choir. (The Mass I celebrate on Saturday mornings is a low
Mass.) At any high Mass, if the choir sings anything besides the official
chants, it must be in Latin. At low Mass, the choir or congregation may
sing, even in English, but they may not sing the official chants. (Another
time, I will write an article on sacred music.)
Both the old and new Mass are divided into two parts: the Mass
of the Catechumens (or Liturgy of the Word, nowadays) and the Mass of
the Faithful (or, Liturgy of the Eucharist). You will notice the altar cards
on the altar. These are the priest’s “cheat sheets,” and they contain pray-
ers that it would be inconvenient to read out of the missal. As the sacred
ministers enter, the choir sings the introit. This is the “entrance anti-
phon” which we read at the beginning of daily Mass at SS. Peter and
Paul. When they finish, they (or they and the congregation) immediately
continue with the Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy). Meanwhile, the sa-
cred ministers are quietly reciting the prayers at the foot of the altar. This
corresponds to the Penitential Rite nowadays, and its principal parts are
Psalm 42 (43, in English) and the Confiteor (I confess to Almighty
God). Afterwards, the celebrant comes up to the altar, kisses it, reads the
introit and Kyrie quietly, and goes to the center to begin the Gloria
(Glory to God), which is continued by the choir.
Then, the collect is sung. (There may be up to three col-
lects. This is governed by complicated rules.) The priest sings the col-
lect facing in the same direction as the congregation. This symbolizes the
fact that, while the priest stands at the head of the assembly, he and they
both are praying together to God. This, in fact, is the orientation of much
of the old Mass. The emphasis is heavily “vertical” (you and I relating to
God) and much less “horizontal” (I relating to you). We (priest and peo-
ple both) must try to keep before our eyes that the verticality is not the
priest relating to God while everyone else watches, but rather all of us
together relating to God. (“Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice
and yours….”) This is still important today, where we may forget that
we have come together not to be together with each other but to worship
together the God who loves us.

CLASSES WILL BE FORMING IN THE
FALL.
Continued
As in the new Mass, the readings follow the
collect. With rare exceptions, there is only one read-
ing before the Gospel, and it is called the “epistle,”
even when it is not from an epistle. It is sung by the
subdeacon, facing the same direction as the congre-
gation. Afterwards, the choir sings two chants called
the gradual and the alleluia. (These may be sung in
the new Mass, but they are almost always replaced
with a responsorial Psalm and a simplified Allelu-
ia.) Then, the deacon receives the priest’s blessing
and sings the Gospel. He sings facing north, which
symbolizes evangelization. (Many, many centuries
ago, the north of Europe was pagan, so singing the
Gospel in their direction was a symbol of the
Church’s efforts to bring them the light of
Christ.) Afterwards, the celebrant kisses the begin-
ning of the Gospel passage, as he does today.
Next, the homily is preached. At high
Mass, the readings must be sung in Latin, but it is
customary to read them out in English before begin-
ning to preach. The homily was formerly consid-
ered to be technically not a part of the Mass, but an
interruption, so the celebrant removed the maniple
from his left wrist before preaching and put it back
on afterwards. The council fathers at Vatican II
specified that the homily is in fact a part of the Mass
which may not be omitted on Sundays and holy
days. The Credo (Nicene Creed) follows (on days
when it is to be sung), begun by the celebrant and
continued by the choir. (As with the Gloria, the
priest, deacon, and subdeacon read the whole text
quietly at the altar. If there is much time left, they
may go sit down while the choir sings.) There is no
Universal Prayer as there is nowadays, and we are
now ready for the Mass of the Faithful.

WHY CATHOLIC EDUCATION STILL MAT-
TERS IN 10 REASONS.
WRITTEN BY:
REVEREND RONALD J. NUZZI
THE CENTRALITY OF ARTS, RITUAL, DRAMA, MUSIC TO THE
LIFE OF FAITH
8 Through Catholic education, students are exposed to
the richness of the religious tradition. Music, Art, Liter-
ature, Drama and Ritual are rooted in the rich history of
the Church, and find their truest glory as an expression
of divine praise.
(Next week will be reason # 9.)

SHARING THE GOSPEL
Jesus seemed to be surrounded by
crowds a lot, didn't he? That's because
no matter where he went, he helped peo-
ple, he healed them, and he taught them
about God. In today's Gospel reading, one
crowd was following Jesus all day, and
now they were getting hungry for dinner.
Instead of sending them back home, Je-
sus showed everybody's God's amazing
power. Jesus took a boy's lunch and made
more than enough food for everybody to
eat.
PRAYER
Dear God, help me always to remember
that you have the power to give us more
than we need. Amen.
SOMETHING TO DRAW
Draw a picture of two fish and five loaves
of bread.
MISSION FOR THE WEEK
The boy in today's Gospel shared his
lunch. You can share food, too. Bring
boxed and canned food to a food pantry
in your neighborhood, and ask God to
bless the people who eat it.
