Passiontide Photopost 2019 (Part 2)

Gregory DiPippo

For our second photopost of Passiontide veils, we start with one of our most faithful contributors, St Mary’s Parish in Kalamazoo, Michigan; I particularly wanted to highlight them for their thoroughness in veiling everything in the church that should be veiled, including objects in the sacristy. The second set comes from the FSSP’s in Providence, Rhode Island, which had no veils when the parish was established quite recently, so the parishioners made them over the last few weeks, and again, for everything in the church. There is still plenty of time to send more photos in if you have them (photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org) - thanks once again to everybody who contributed these!

The crypt was built in the early 16th century, and originally decorated with frescoes, but by the end of the 19th century, these had deteriorated so badly from the humidity that they were deemed unsalvageable. The decisi...

An Interview with Fr Uwe Michael Lang on LiturgyGregory DiPippo
I am sure that our readers will enjoy this interview with the liturgical scholar Fr Uwe Michael Lang of the London Oratory, which was recently published on the YouTube channel of the Totus Tuus Apostolate. It covers a wide range of subjects: Pope Benedict’s teaching on the liturgy, the liturgical abuses in the post-Conciliar period and our own time...

Dives and Lazarus in the Liturgy of LentGregory DiPippo
Before the early eighth century, the church of Rome kept the Thursdays of Lent (with the obvious exception of Holy Thursday) and the Saturdays after Ash Wednesday and Passion Sunday as “aliturgical” days. (The term aliturgical refers, of course, only to the Eucharistic liturgy, not to the Divine Office.) This is attested in the oldest liturgical bo...

Why Should We Build Beautiful Confessionals?Peter Kwasniewski
Confession is a sacrament in which we confess dark deeds, shameful sins, cowardly compromises, repeated rifts. It is something we often wish more to be done with than to do; we know we must go, that it is “good for us” as a visit to the dentist’s or the doctor’s is good for us. It might seem as if the place where we fess up, red-handed, and receive...

The Myth of a Sunday with No MassGregory DiPippo
Those who follow the traditional Divine Office and Mass closely will notice in them an unusual feature this weekend. In the Mass, the same Gospel, St Matthew’s account of the Transfiguration (17, 1-9), is read both today, the Ember Saturday, and tomorrow. In the Divine Office, there are only four antiphons taken from this Gospel, where the other Su...

“Let My Prayer Rise as Incense” - Byzantine Music for LentGregory DiPippo
In the Byzantine Rite, the Divine Liturgy is not celebrated on the weekdays of Lent, but only on Saturdays and Sundays; an exception is made for the feast of the Annunciation. Therefore, at the Divine Liturgy on Sundays, extra loaves of bread are consecrated, and reserved for the rest of the week. On Wednesdays and Fridays, a service known as the ...
