Good Shepherd Sunday 2022

Gregory DiPippo

The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord, alleluia; by the word of God were the heavens established, alleluia, alleluia. Ps. 32 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright. Glory be... The earth is full... (The Introit of Good Shepherd Sunday.)

Misericordia Domini plena est terra, alleluia, verbo Domini caeli firmati sunt, alleluia, alleluia. Ps. 32 Exsultate, justi, in Domino, rectos decet collaudatio. Gloria Patri... Misericordia... (This is one of the places where there is a difference between the printed text of the Missal, which reads “verbo Domini”, and the Liber Usualis, which reads “verbo Dei.”)

“God So Loved the World” - The Gospel of Pentecost MondayGregory DiPippo
As noted last month, the first part of the Nicodemus Gospel, John 3, 1-15 or 16, was said at two other Masses before it was assigned to the Finding of the Cross. On the other hand, the second part, verses 16-21, is found in the very oldest Roman lectionaries on Pentecost Monday, and remains there to this day. This may seem an odd choice, given tha...

The Byzantine Gospel of PentecostGregory DiPippo
After Nicodemus’ discourse with Christ in chapter 3, he will appear two other times in the Gospel of St John. At the end of chapter 19, he comes to help Joseph of Arimathea bury the Lord, bringing myrrh and aloe.

No Gospel for Pentecost? A Radical Proposal Made to the ConsiliumGregory DiPippo
If one honestly compares the Roman Rite and the post-Conciliar rite, one will inevitably wind up asking oneself, frequently, Why on earth did they change or delete X, Y or Z feature of the historical liturgy? How did we benefit from this? This coming week, from which the very rich and ancient liturgy of the Pentecost octave was deleted, is one of t...

The Octave of the Ascension 2025Gregory DiPippo
From the homily of Pope St Gregory the Great read on the octave of the Ascension in the Roman Breviary. Concerning the glory of (Christ’s) Ascension, Habakkuk also said, “The sun was lifted up, and the moon stood still in her rank.” (3, 10-11) Who is here signified by the name of the Sun, if not the Lord, and by the name of the Moon, if not the Chu...
