REVISED LITURGY COMING: As was mentioned last week, the new Divine Worship Missal is slated to be released in Advent. In most instances, the parts of the faithful remain the same as in the Book of Divine Worship, with only small changes. For example, in the Lord’s Prayer, it now ends, “…but deliver us from evil.” The Doxology, “For thine is the kingdom…” comes after a prayer of the priest, as in the Ordinary Form of the Mass. The opening introduction: “Blessed be God, Father, Son…” is now replaced with “In the Name of the Father…” The Intercessions (Prayers of the Faithful) are completely revised. The ceremonial of the Mass has been altered, and the celebrant and deacons have different spoken parts and actions, but those things won’t greatly affect the congregation. ● From 1983 until 1987, we had the interim liturgy, which was totally altered when the BDW was promulgated in 1987. Back then, in less than 3 weeks, we were able to meet the challenges of the changes. With a little bit of attention to detail, we’ll soon be able to adapt to the revised liturgy. All Pastoral Provision and Ordinariate parishes and communities will be moving to the revise liturgy on Nov. 30.
