This is just to let you know that the <b>Dominican Rite Calendar for 2024 is now available</b> for download on our <b>left side bar</b> or directly <a href="https://media.musicasacra.com/dominican/C24.pdf">here</a>.<p></p><p>This calendar is specifically prepared for those saying Mass in the traditional Dominican Rite in the <b>United States,</b> and even more specifically in the <b>Western Dominican Province</b>. As such, however, it includes, in an <b>appendix</b>, feasts for Canada (Archdiocese of Toronto) and Mexico (Diocese of Mexicali) because Western Dominican Friars serve in those places, as well as for all other US dioceses where they serve. I have also included in the appendix information for all dioceses where other American provinces have houses.<br /></p><p><b>I would be happy to include local information for other dioceses </b>where American friars are serving other than the ones provided for, if that information were sent to me. For each case I need: First, if the posting is outside the US, a list of all the national feasts and their dates there as they were in 1962 and any added since with approval of Rome. Then I need, for the particular place, the titular of the Cathedral, consecration date of the Cathedral, patron(s) of the diocese, name and installation date of the bishop, and any other feasts and dates on the local calendar in 1962, or added since. <b> I cannot make additions without all this information</b>, as I know you will understand. <br /></p><p>You will also note that I have included the saints' days of Dominican saints (with ranks adjusted for the traditional rite) for saints and blesseds since 1962. You are free to use that information as you will. These feasts are current according to the most recent version of the General Calendar of the Order approved by Rome (2019). A list of "minor" Dominican blesseds approved only for local use comes last.<br /></p><p>Finally, in your kindness, <b>if you find any errors in this calendar, do let me know</b> and I will correct them and put up the corrected PDF for download.</p><p>God bless you all!<br /></p>Fr.

University of Toronto (founded by Etienne Gilson), to announce an<b> International Conference on Medieval Dominican Liturgy</b>, scheduled to coincide
with the traditional feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, March 5 to 7, 2023. As
can be seen from the program below, this conference will include papers by scholars from
all around the world who have made major contributions to the study of medieval
Dominican liturgy. That program may also be downloaded <b><a href="http://www.musicasacra.com/dominican/LCP.pdf">here</a></b>.<br /></span><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"> This conference is open to the
general public, and there is no registration fee, although those who wish to
attend the sessions must register by sending an email to the PIMS Executive
Assistant, </span><b><a href="cynthia.watson@utoronto.ca">Ms. Cynthia Watson</a></b><span style="font-size: medium;">. Reduced-rate rooms (limited number) are still available at the conference
hotel. Should you want one, please mention this in your registration-request
email. Note also that the two public liturgies in the Dominican Rite, the
First Vespers and the Solemn Mass of Thomas Aquinas, are both open to the general
public without need for registration. They will be held at <a href="https://stbasiltoronto.org/">St. Basil’s Collegiate Church, St. Michael’s College, Toronto ON</a>---for more information, see the program:<br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm91ia3-9sBTn-djtdDNRwm-oZNRctefUST6IDwku8tpb2yIdLeRHGGrG6hwTQPQGWOnqFUwrlJeqnaoMvp7GZTUJcmqZYk8y26KL7cg2Y2wBQUwwT1nX0SXLGAlruyL7ZPQfgGmyTF5pp9ORfNaaexZvxhYdMHqWYmbnvt0tROC88KqfmmnteJplV/s1650/Draft%20Programme%205%20(Booklet)_page-0002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1650" height="489" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm91ia3-9sBTn-djtdDNRwm-oZNRctefUST6IDwku8tpb2yIdLeRHGGrG6hwTQPQGWOnqFUwrlJeqnaoMvp7GZTUJcmqZYk8y26KL7cg2Y2wBQUwwT1nX0SXLGAlruyL7ZPQfgGmyTF5pp9ORfNaaexZvxhYdMHqWYmbnvt0tROC88KqfmmnteJplV/w635-h489/Draft%20Programme%205%20(Booklet)_page-0002.jpg" width="635" /></a></div>I look forward to meeting our readers at the Conference.

A number of years ago, I provided links to download digital images of the <b>Humbert of Romans Codex</b>. Now I have the pleasure to announce that there are now <b>new images</b>, far better and more readable than the older set. They are available for download in a zip file <b><a href="https://archive.org/compress/rome_santa_sabina_xiv_l1/formats=JPEG&file=/rome_santa_sabina_xiv_l1.zip">here</a></b>. This is a large file, so be patient as it downloads. If you merely want to consult the images themselves they can be viewed online <b><a href="https://archive.org/details/rome_santa_sabina_xiv_l1">here</a></b>. Those who download these new images have permission to use them or pass them on to others. This manuscript (Rome: Santa Sabina MS XIV L1) is the <b>prototype</b> for the medieval (and early-modern) Dominican Liturgy. </p><p>The image to the left is the title page of this manuscript which lists its title and contents. Here is a transcription:<br /></p><p>On margin: Ecclesiasticum Officium secundum Ordinem Fratrum Praedicatorum; in hoc Volumine per Quatuordecim Libros Distinctum hoc Ordine Continetur.</p><p></p><p></p><p>In the center:<br /> Ordinarium: MS f. 0v - f. 12r<br /> Martyrologium: MS f. 13r - f. 40v<br /> Collectarium: MS f. 41r - f. 58r<br /> Processionarium: MS f. 58v - f. 65v<br /> Psalterium: MS f. 66r - f. 86v<br /> Breviarium: MS f. 87r - f. 141v<br /> Lectionarium: MS f. 142r - 230v<br /> Antiphonarium: MS f. 231r - 323r<br /> Graduale: MS f. 323v - f. 369v<br /> Pulpitarium: 370r- f. 392r<br /> Missale Conventuale: MS f. 393r - 421v<br /> Epistolarium: MS f. 422r - f. 435v<br /> Evangelistarium: MS f. 435v - 454v<br /> Missale Minorum Altarium: MS f. 455r - 500v<br /></p><p>I include the folios on which each section is found so that this list can also serve as a <b>table of contents to the images</b>. The new images show facing pages and the number of each image gives the standard folio number of <b>the folio whose <i>recto </i>is on the right side of the image</b>. <br /></p><p>This manuscript was compiled by the Master of the Order Humbert of Romans in accord with the commission of the Dominican General Chapter of Buda in 1254 and approved by the General Chapter of Paris in 1256. Except for additional feasts and the Psalter Reform of St. Pius X, the texts of this document were authoritative as the prototype for our liturgical books until 1969.<br />

Enjoy!
<p>The video "Life a Monastery" was broadcast on Oakland Channel 6 in 1961. It shows life in the <a href="http://www.opwest.org/vocations/">Western Dominican Province</a> House of Studies, <a href="http://www.opwest.org/sap/alt/default.htm">Saint Albert the Great Priory</a>, in Oakland CA.
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">VIDEO ONE</span>
The film begins with clips of our House of Studies, still the same today in Oakland CA. Then follows film of the Dominican Rite Solemn Mass, the center of the liturgical day at the House of Studies. The film than moves to the class room, and then highlights different aspects of the life. </p><p>A list of those appearing is below the video. The times listed for each of the scenes in the identification list tell where you can find that segment on the video.

There are exercises reviewing virtually all the grammar and each chapter has reading exercises from scholastic theology or philosophy manuals, as well a from the 1917 <i>Code of Canon Law</i> and the decrees of the Council of Trent.

There are many books out to help you learn <b>Ecclesiastical Latin</b> but most require an instructor or tutor. Many seminarians, priests, and lay people want to learn Latin but do not have a readily available instructor. In my years of teaching Latin, I am convinced that the best book for liturgical Latin remains <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Latin-Grammar-Vocabularies-Exercises-Preparation/dp/0895550024">Cora and Charles Scanlon’s<i> <b>Latin Grammar for Reading the Missal and Breviary</b></i></a>, first published in 1944 by B. Herder Book Co., and still in print from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Latin-Grammar-Vocabularies-Exercises-Preparation/dp/0895550024">TAN Books</a>.<p></p><p>The one problem with this book is that there was no available full <b><a href="https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/charles-l-scanlon-and-cora-carroll-scanlon-and-augustine-thompson-op-and-joseph-oliveri/answer-key-for-scanlon-and-scanlon-latin-grammer/paperback/product-gp84mq.html?page=1&pageSize=4">Answer Key</a></b>. I am happy to announce that we have now published one for all the exercises of every lesson. You may order copies of this Key from <b><a href="https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/athompsonatdsptdotcom">Dominican Liturgy Publications</a></b>, which also has available many other resources for the Dominican Rite and the Latin liturgy.<br /></p>Fr.

This continues the annual publication of the calendar at <a href="http://dominican-liturgy.blogspot.com/">Dominican Liturgy</a>, where downloads of the current and older calendars are always available on the left sidebar. I am posting this early so that readers who notice any errors can email me and let me know about them.<p></p><p>This calendar has adjusted the dates and rankings of post-1962 Dominican saints and blesseds to conform to changes in the Order's calendar promulgated November 30, 2019. These changes are minor because most of the Dominican saints currently celebrated were already on the calendar in 1962 and so are celebrated as they were at that time.</p><p>The calendar also includes an extensive appendix giving all the local feasts for every diocese in the United States where there is a Dominican friars community. United States national feasts are listed as such in the calendar itself. Finally there is a list of all the Dominican saints and blesseds only celebrated in particular provinces listing the province(s) for each.</p><p>May this calendar facilitate the offering of the prayers of the Mass and Office to Our Blessed Lord. St. Dominic, pray for us!<br /></p>Fr.

I have had to divide the video because of its size and the limits of Blogger uploading. The first video shows the Mass from the priest's preparation to the Creed. The second shows the Mass from the people's Offertory Procession to the final blessing. If you want to view the video as a <b>single file</b>, click <b><a href="http://www.musicasacra.com/dominican/video2.mp4">here</a></b>.

In particular, the singing of the Creed before the sermon. In this video I have cut the sermon, as well as a scholarly introduction and the people's prayers (Apostle's Creed, Our Father, Hail Mary, Sign of the Cross) because they are in Swedish. If you want to see these, you may at this YoutTube <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTSJ7LqZLYQ">link</a></b>, which has the entire video. As you can see in the program, the Mass follows the order of chants and readings used in the North before the Tridentine reform. They come mostly from the 17th and 18th Sundays after Pentecost. Also note the variants in the Latin text, including one in the Gloria.

I have received an inquiry as to whether the <b>First Class Feast of St. Dominic</b>, which in the Dominican Rite falls on August 4, may be celebrated on the following Sunday as an "<b>External Solemnity</b>." The Dominican Rite Missal (of 1933 or 1965) contains no provisions for "external solemnities" as it was intended for use by Dominicans in our own priories. What about use in parishes? Years ago, the then liturgist of the Order, Fr. <span class="st">Pierre-Marie </span>Gy, O.P., explained to a friar of my province that the principle to be applied is that, when the Dominican Rite rubrics are vague or do not treat a matter, recourse is to be made to the Roman Rite (here that of 1962) as the "mother rite."<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.divinumofficium.com/www/horas/Help/Rubrics/Missal1960%20rubrics.html">Here</a> are the pertinent provisions of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (1962) in English:<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">V - Votive Masses on the External Solemnity of Feasts</span></span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">356. The "external solemnity" of any feast means the celebration of the feast without an office, for the good of the faithful, either on the day on which the feast is impeded, or on a Sunday when the feast occurs during the week, or on some other established day.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">357. An external solemnity either belongs to a feast by right or is granted by a special indult.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">358. An external solemnity belongs by right only to:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> a) the feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, on the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost;</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> b) the feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary of the rosary, on the first Sunday of October;</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> c) feasts of the 1st or 2nd class which are connected with some special liturgical service, if that liturgical service is transferred to a Sunday with the approval of the Holy See, only for the Mass which is celebrated in connection with the aforesaid liturgical service;</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> d) the feast of a duly constituted principal patron;</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> e) the anniversary of the dedication of the church itself in which the Mass is said;</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> f) the titular feast of the church itself;</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> g) the titular feast of the order or congregation;</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b> h) the feast of the holy founder of the order or congregation;</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> i) feast of the 1st and 2nd class which are celebrated with an especially large attendance by the faithful; of this matter the local ordinary is the judge.</span></span><br />
<br />
So, it is permitted to celebrate the Dominican Rite Mass of St. Dominic on the following Sunday. As a first-class Mass, the Sunday would not be commemorated by a second collect as first class feasts only permit an extra collects for "privileged memories" (e.g. ferials in Advent and Lent) and Sundays after Pentecost are not privileged. In addition, one should remember that an "External Solemnity" is a Votive Mass, not a transferred feast. So, if you have a celebration of St. Dominic on the following Sunday, the Mass and Office on August 4 is still that of St. Dominic.<br />
<br />
It might also be useful treat another question here as well. Can the celebration of the the major feasts in the U.S. that are not holy days of obligation, which are moved to Sunday in the New Rite, also be celebrated in Dominican Rite on the Sunday? These feasts are Epiphany, Ascension, and Corpus Christi. Following the same principle, as there is permission granted to do so by the Holy See in the rubrics of the New Missal, and that would be equivalent to the permission of 358c above, it is my opinion that they may be so celebrated. As holy days of obligation are matters of canon law, not rubrics, the current discipline as to Mass obligation applies, not that in force in 1962.<br />
<br />
One final matter for those using the 1962 Dominican Rite Breviary: the Office is not transferred under the rubrics for an external solemnity. Rather, the Office of the proper Sunday is used, which would be the 10th after Pentecost (1962 Missal) or the 8th after the Octave of Trinity (1933 Missal). And the Mass and Office of the proper day of the feast remain those of the feast. And remember in any case that one is never obligated to celebrate an External Solemnity Votive Mass; such Masses are merely an option. <br />
<br />
May God grant all the brethren his choicest blessings on the feast of St. Dominic, whichever day they celebrate it on.Fr. Augustine Thompson, O.P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13650004591673135663noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681724653679910870.post-76136756358555093132020-06-30T22:03:00.002-07:002021-07-25T21:46:10.064-07:00"Beware the Litanies of the Friars Preachers, for they work wonders!"Although not much in use these days, the Dominican Order has its own ancient and venerable Litany to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, <i>Litaniae B. Mariae Virginis Ab Ordine Receptae, </i>historically used during times of grave need and tribulation.<br />
<br />
These gained their fame for their efficacy during the XIIIth century, when the Order provoked certain jealousies and concerns as she rose in prestige. Troubles began in earnest in 1254, when some prelates prevailed upon the Holy Father, Pope Innocent IV, to publish his bull, <i>“Etsi animarum”</i>, which imposed severe restrictions on the Order of Friars Preachers, such as not being able to hear the confessions of the faithful, not being able to bury the faithful, not being able to celebrate Holy Mass publicly nor offer other sacraments, under penalty of excommunication. This would obviously be the death of the Order. Until he paid heed to those who slandered the honor of the Order, the Holy Father had actually been a great protector of our Order.<br />
<br />
The Master of the Order of that time, Bl. Humbert of Romans, greatly troubled and pained over what was happening to his beloved Order, was at a loss. And so he knelt before an image of the Most Holy Virgin, and in tears asked for her help and intercession. The Virgin replied to him, "From this very moment, the Order has been freed." A few days later, Pope Innocent IV died in Naples, sixteen days after issuing his bull against the Dominicans, which his successor, Pope Alexander IVth, quickly annulled with his own bull, <i>“Nec insolitum,”</i> on the 31st of December, 1254.<br />
<br />
During these trying times, the Order also suffered persecution from the secular Masters of the University of Paris, led by William of Saint-Amour, who sought to expel the mendicants from their ranks, and even distributing flyers against the Order, to attempt to turn the faithful against them. The same Bl. Humbert of Romans, in the General Chapter of 1256, ordered that the Seven Penitential Psalms be prayed, along with the Litany with other prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Dominic. A few days later, in Rome, as the brethren were praying the Litany, a friar fell into a trance, and had a vision of Our Lord over the altar, with Our Lady at His side, who was asking her Son to heed the petitions of the friars. A few days later, over the course of ten days, Pope Alexander IV intervened decisively in favor of the friars, and against those who calumnied the Order.<br />
<br />
A historian from that era commented that thanks to these Litanies, not only did the great persecutions against the Order come quickly to a favorable end, but the Order itself increased in honor, leading some rather surprised cardinals to remark, <i>"Cavete a Litaniis Fratum Prædicatorum qui mirabilia faciunt”</i> (“Be careful with the Litanies of the Friars Preachers -- they work wonders”).<br />
<br />
Readers will easily note the longer petitions, which all begin "<i>Sancta Maria", </i>and<i> </i>not by title alone, with some interesting titles and honors from older forms of piety that might strike our ears as odd or excessive, but for this author, the additional triplet of "Daughter of God," "Daughter of Joachim," and "Daughter of Anne," as well as the three-fold "She-lamb" petitions are quite beautiful.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to the English student friars and those of <i>Traditio Spiritualis Sacri Ordinis Prædicatorum, </i>we present the Litany here for use... <i>with caution</i>.<br />

Dismas Sayre, O.P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01238944917264745402noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681724653679910870.post-352557651289105382020-03-09T15:49:00.002-07:002020-03-10T15:52:27.450-07:00Dominican Rite Absolution Cards AvailableA couple weeks again a Dominican priest from another province who regularly hears confessions at a local Extraordinary Form parish told me that he did not now that there was a Dominican form for the absolution in the Sacrament of Confession and Reconciliation. I gave him one of the wallet cards that I made up for this a few years ago. I still have about a dozen of these cards available.<br />
<br />
If you are a Dominican priest (or transitional deacon) and would like one of these cards, please mail a stamped self-addressed envelope to me at my St. Albert the Great Priory, Oakland CA, address and I will use it to drop a plastic-laminated card to you in the mail. If you are a Dominican brother (or any other interested person) do the same, indicating you are not a priest or deacon, and I will mail you an un-laminated copy.<br />
<br />
For those interested in the Dominican Rite absolution as it compares to the Extraordinary Form Roman, I have prepared a Latin and an English parallel comparison below. I might point out some interesting differences. The Dominican form pronounces (if needed), the absolution from censures before hearing the confession. This reflects the logic that censures need to be removed before a sacrament can be received. The Roman simply combines this absolution with the the absolution from sins. The Dominican absolution from sins places the rite in an ecclesiastical and sacramental context, restoring the penitent to the "communion and union" of the Faithful. It also has an eschatological component as it references not only this earthly existence but also the soul's presence before the divine throne in heaven. The Roman, omitting the part on censures, is very concise.<br />
<br />
The are also a couple interesting, although less striking, differences. The Dominican absolution is given with a triple Sign of the Cross, something reserved to bishops in the Roman liturgy. And the closing prayer, optional in both, adds reference to the penitent's future intentions and St. Dominic to the simpler Roman form. Finally, the optional prayers for Divine Mercy that come after an expression of sorrow, both taken from the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar, each reflect the form of the these take in each respective rite.<br />
<br />

<br />
This Solemn High Mass, fittingly, was the Mass of St. Thomas Aquinas on his traditional feast day of March 7th, January 28th being the <i>old</i> feast of the translation of his relics, now the universal feast, so that his feast would fall outside of Lent in the Ordinary Form.<br />
<br />
The celebrant was Fr. Thomas Azzi, OP, assisted by Fr. Christopher Dowd, OP as deacon, and Fr. Robert Krishna, OP as subdeacon.<br />

The celebrant of this Mass was Fr. Vincent Kelber, O.P., Director of the St. Jude Shrine at St. Dominic's Church in San Francisco. The ministers, choir, and servers were all students of the <b><a href="http://www.opwest.org/vocations/">Western Dominican Province</a>:</b> deacon, Br. Gregory Liu, O.P.; subdeacon, Br, Matthew Heynen; senior acolyte, Br. John Peter Anderson, junior acolyte, Br. Columban Mary Hall; thurifer, Br. Pawel Jamroz. The organist was Fr. James Moore, O.P. <br />
<br />
As St. Ignatius is a third-class feast, the cross was not carried at the Gospel, and the Creed was not sung (it is only sung on third-class feasts of Apostles and the Blessed Virgin in the Dominican Rite).<br />

Our friars in Alaska routinely travel from their home base in Anchorage to help out with Masses throughout the state in the Ordinary Form, but once a month they also offer a Dominican Rite Mass in Fairbanks, at the historic Immaculate Conception Parish.<br />
<br />
The Diocese of Fairbanks is rich in territory size, but scarce in vocations, having only one bishop two priests, and a handful of deacons to call their own. To fill the gaps, outside priests are invited to help out either long-term or short-term. <br />
<br />
Outside visitors and tourists are often surprised to encounter the beauty, not just of Nature and the Northern Lights, but that of a <i>Missa Cantata here</i>, in what is perhaps the most northernmost Dominican Rite Mass regularly offered.Fr. Dismas Sayre, O.P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/01238944917264745402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681724653679910870.post-16427285600308793212019-10-08T16:35:00.003-07:002019-10-08T16:36:46.553-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

October is also <i>Respect Life</i> month in the States, and so our friars in Anchorage, Alaska thought it proper to do a votive <b>Low Mass of St. Gerard Majella</b>, complete with veneration of his relic, October 16, 2019, at 7 PM.<br />
<br />
St Gerard, a Redemptorist, not a Dominican, happened to leave behind his handkerchief one day at a friend's family's house. One of the daughters came after him to return it, but he told her to keep it, as it may come in handy one day.<br />
<br />
When she later went into a troubled delivery with his unborn child, she remembered his words, and asked for the handkerchief to be brought to her. On applying the handkerchief to her stomach, her pain disappeared, and she safely delivered a healthy child. He is a patron for unborn children, pregnant women, young children, those falsely accused, and for making a good confession.Fr.

I recently published a <a href="http://dominican-liturgy.blogspot.com/2019/07/revision-of-modern-dominican-calendar.html">summary</a> of the <b>changes in the Dominican Calendar for Mass and Office</b> that will come into effect on the First Sunday of Advent 2019. At that time, I promised that <b><a href="http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/athompsonatdsptdotcom">Dominican Liturgy Publications</a></b> would be producing new editions of the books we have published for use at the Liturgy of the Hours by those taking various roles in choir.<br />
<br />
The first and most important is <i><b><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/dominican-liturgy-publications/propers-of-the-office-for-the-order-of-preachers-full-size/paperback/product-24167725.html">Propers of the Office for the Order of Preachers</a></b></i>, which contains the full propers for all Dominican saints and blesseds on our general calendar. This book would be used by the cantors, lectors, and, if desired by the hebdomadarian, that is, the friar leading prayers that week. This book has been updated to include the two new feasts, that of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Giorgio_Frassati">Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati</a> and of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buenaventura_Garc%C3%ADa_de_Paredes">Bl. Bonaventure García Paredes and Companions</a>, Martyrs of the Spanish Civil War. Those feasts with changed ranks or dates now reflect that. The propers are also available in <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/dominican-liturgy-publications/propers-of-the-office-for-the-order-of-preachers-pocket-book-size/paperback/product-24170821.html">pocket-book size</a>.<br />
<br />
Feasts that have been dropped from the Dominican General Calendar have been removed and included in <i><b><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/dominican-liturgy-publications/dominican-blesseds-celebrated-locally/paperback/product-24168227.html">Dominican Blesseds Celebrated Locally</a></b></i>, a companion volume that has the short biographies and collects for the many Dominican saints and blesseds who are only celebrated in particular provinces. None of these are celebrated in the provinces of the United States, but many use this volume devotionally. The entire propers of those saints previously in the <i><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/dominican-liturgy-publications/propers-of-the-office-for-the-order-of-preachers-full-size/paperback/product-24167725.html">Propers of the Office for the Order of Preachers</a></i> are now represented in this volume. It also includes the full propers for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_of_Braga">St. Bartholomew of the Martyrs, O.P.</a>, who was just canonized by Pope Francis on July 5.<br />
<br />
Finally I am pleased to announce that we have also produced a new edition of our <i><b><a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/dominican-liturgy-publications/collectarium-a-manual-for-hebdomadarians/hardcover/product-24170720.html">Collectarium: A Manual for Hebdomadarians</a></b></i>, which contains all the texts, in particular the collects, needed by the bedomadarian, not only for Dominican saints, but for every day of the year. Included in this volume are the collects for saints recently added to the Roman Calendar (Saints John XXIII, Paul V, and John Paul II), as well as one blessed, Francis Xavier Seelos, added to the Calendar of the United States. This volume also has the particular feasts celebrated in the<b> <a href="http://www.opwest.org/vocations/">Western Dominican Province</a></b>, but this does not prevent its use by other provinces.Fr. Augustine Thompson, O.P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/13650004591673135663noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3681724653679910870.post-7290449383384025592019-07-02T09:28:00.000-07:002019-07-23T13:26:17.054-07:00Revision of the Modern Dominican CalendarI believe most friars have already received a direct mailing of the new<i> Calendarium Ordinis Praedicatorum, </i>approved by the Congregation for Divine Worship on 14 April 2019 and promulgated by the master of the Order Bruno Cadore on 24 June 2019. I have made this these documents available for download <a href="http://www.musicasacra.com/dominican/COP-19.pdf">here</a> for nuns, sisters, Dominican laity, and any others who wish to celebrate Dominican saints with the new Roman Missal and the Liturgy of the Hours. Note that those wishing to celebrate those feasts reduced to optional memorials may still do so--they are <i>optional</i>.<br />
<br />
The format of this document makes it difficult to identify the changes promulgated. So I will summarize them. The list of Dominican feasts is not much changed but there are a good number of changes by which previous obligatory memorials have become optional, and there are some changes in the dates of celebration. Here is a summary:<br />
<br />
<i>Change from obligatory to optional memorial:</i><br />
<br />
4 January: St. Zdislava Berkiana (28 November in the U.S.)<br />
18 January: St. Margaret of Hungary<br />
4 February: St. Catherine de’ Ricci <br />
10 May: St. Antoninus of Florence<br />
19 May: St. Francis Coll Guitart<br />
9 July: St. John of Cologne and Companions<br />
18 September: St. Juan Macías<br />
28 September: Sts. Dominic Ibáñez de Erquicia, James Kyushei Tomanaga, Laurence Ruiz,<br />
and Companions<br />
9 October: St. Louis Bertrand (obligatory memorial in Western Province as secondary patron)<br />
<br />
<i> Change from obligatory to optional memorial with new date:</i><br />
<br />
15 January: Sts. Francis de Capillas, Peter Sans, and Companions--move to 9 July<br />
6 November: Bls. Alphonsus Navarrete and Companions--move to 28 September<br />
<br />
<i>New optional memorials:</i><br />
<br />
4 July: Bl. Pier Giorgio Fassati<br />
6 November: Bls. Bonaventure Garcia Paredes, Hyacinth Serrano Lopez and Companions<br />
<br />
<i>Remove from the Dominican General Calendar:</i><br />
<br />
23 January: Bl. Henry Suso<br />
12 February: Bl. Reginald of Orleans<br />
28 April: St. Louis de Montfort (still an optional memorial on the Roman Calendar)<br />
21 May: Bl. Hyacinth-Marie Cormier<br />
10 June: Bl. John Domnici<br />
17 July: Bl. Ceslaus of Poland<br />
<br />
The Order also published a revision of the list of Dominican saints and blesseds that are optional memorials, but only in the provinces where they lived. The four blesseds rmoved from the general calendar just listed are now approved for local use as below. Note that none of these optional local blesseds (of which there are many others) are celebrated in the United States. Three of these additonis include saints, not blesseds. Here are those changes:<br />
<br />
<i>Add to local calendars:</i><br />
<br />
23 January: Bl. Henry Suso (Germany; Austria=Bavaria)<br />
12 February: Bl. Reginald of Orleans (France)<br />
1 April: Bl. Joseph Girotti (Italy--St. Dominic; Austria-Bavaria)<br />
8 May: Bl. Peter Claverie and Companions (France)<br />
16 May: Bl. Valdimir Ghika (Vicariate of Eastern Europe) <br />
21 May: Bl. Hyacinth-Marie Cormier (Italy--Roman)<br />
10 June: Bl. John Domnici (Italy--Roman)<br />
17 July: Bl. Ceslaus of Poland (Poland)<br />
18 July: St. Bartholomew of the Martyrs (Portugal)<br />
13 August: St. Alexander Longo and Companions (Italy--St. Thomas Aquinas) <br />
7 September: Bl. John-Joseph Lataste (France)<br />
9 December: St. Narcisa of Jesus Martillo y Mor<span class="st">á</span>n (Peru)<br />
<br />
A good number of local blesseds have been combined or moved, but I leave it to readers to check for this on the downloadable new calendar.<i><br /></i><br />
<br />
Note that these changes become effective on the First Sunday of Advent, 2019 and that for those celebrating the Dominican Mass and Office of 1962 under the provisions of <i>Summorum Pontificum</i> and <i>Universae Ecclesiae</i> the only changes implied by this would be for those who want also to celebrate Dominicans canonized or beatified after 1962. When I publish the Dominican Rite Calendar for 2020, I will include these changes.Fr.

It is the work of Mr. Anthony M. J. L. Delarue, who happens to be a knight in obedience of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. <br />
<br />
<i>At the elevation of the Body of Christi.</i><br />

<br />
All Hail, O holy flesh of God,<br />
Who save our souls from guilt and shame;<br />
While hanging on the mystic Rood<br />
Thy sinful servants did reclaim.<br />
<br />
Thou pourest forth the cleansing wave,<br />
From stain of sin our souls to free,<br />
Which Adam’s sin did first enslave,<br />
With stolen apple from the tree.<br />
<br />
Thou cleansest me with holy flesh,<br />
Of roseate blood a kindly wave<br />
From all life’s filth doth me refresh,<br />
And save my soul beyond the grave.<br />
<br />
By Thy benign and kindly grace<br />
Grant me a true and mystic health,<br />
And by Thy gentle holy peace,<br />
To soul and flesh eternal wealth.<br />
<br />
Thrust down to earth mine enemy,<br />
And bring to nought his worldly pride,<br />
And let us thence companions be,<br />
The King of Angels as our guide.<br />
<br />
O haven of salvation, Thou,<br />
Who as my life hands back its lease,<br />
O Mighty God, do me release<br />
From lion’s roar and dragon’s fire;<br />
Grant me a seat amidst the choir<br />
Of those who righteous paths have trod,<br />
Through endless ages without end,<br />
Who live and reign, forever God. Amen.<br />
<br />
Tastes may differ but I do believe that Mr. Delarue's choice of the ABAB rhyme scheme works better in English than the AABB scheme of the original. <br />

</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of years ago, a couple who are my friends gave me a lovely gift, a page of a thirteenth-century devotional manuscript. I would paleographically date it to the late 1220s or early 1230s, and assign it to the Paris book trade. My friend's wife, a professional art historian, agreed with the date and place, noting the "spiky ivy" on the first page, which is typically mid-thirteen-century French. It was obviously made for a very wealthy patron, as is shown by the large margins, pen-scrolls, and gold leaf. That the patron was lay is obvious from the devotional use (at the elevation at Mass) and the easily memorized rhyming verses. Versions of this prayer appear in twelfth-century English manusrripts, so it may originally be English.<br />
<br />
As this is an elevation prayer, and it seems very suitable to make it available on Corpus Christi, whether it is celebrated tomorrow on Thursday or on Sunday, as is the case in many places.<br />
<br />
Here us my transcription of the prayer along with the original on the right:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<i>In elevatione corporis </i>Ch<i>rist</i>i.<br />
<br />

Salve, sancta caro Dei,<br />

<br />

<br />
Sancta caro tu me mu<i>n</i>da,<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And here is a very inelegant translation of the prayer:<br />
<br />
<i> At the elevation of the Body of Christi.</i><br />
<br />
Hail, holy flesh of God,<br />
through which the guilty are saved;<br />
you redeemed your servants<br />
while you hung on the cross.<br />
<br />
The wave that flowed from you<br />
cleansed us from that sin,<br />
which the first man finished,<br />
disobeying with the apple.<br />
<br />
You, Holy Flesh, cleanse me,<br />
kindly, with a wave of blood,<br />
wash me from all stain<br />
and from eternal death.<br />
<br />
Through your kindness,<br />
grant me healing,<br />
and through your holy peace,<br />
grant me good fortune.<br />
<br />
Humble my enemies<br />
and make them my friends,<br />
and their pride,<br />
let the King of Angels destroy.<br />
<br />
You, who are the harbor of salvation,<br />
at the time of my death<br />
free me, Mighty God,<br />
from the roaring lion<br />
and the furious dragon;<br />
give me a seat among the just,<br />
you who live and reign<br />
through all the ages of ages.<br />
Amen.<br />
<br />
I have not tried to render the English translation into rhyming "long-meter," but I urge our readers to give it a try.<br />
<br />
A joyful feast day to you all! </span><br />

Since major changes were made to the liturgy of the Triduum in the Roman Rite in the 1950s, it seemed that during this Holy Week readers might be interested in how those changes affected the Dominican Rite Triduum even more profoundly.<br />
<br />
As most readers know, the old Easter Vigil of the Roman Rite underwent a series of reforms beginning in 1951, and continuing until the introduction of the revised Holy Week Rite of Pope Pius XII in the spring of 1956. The Dominicans imitated these changes as much as possible until we produced a new vigil of our own, one that went into effect at Easter 1957. Readers who know the vigil of the 1962 Roman Missal would find that in use by Dominicans from 1957 onward virtually identical to it, so I will not describe it here. But as our older form of liturgy is quite different and of historical interest.<br />
<br />
Following the medieval practice of Saturday afternoon celebration of the Easter Vigil, the Dominican vigil began after the singing of None. In the modern period, when the Vigil had migrated to Saturday morning, this meant that Matins and the four Minor Hours of Holy Saturday were sung back-to-back in the morning, so that the vigil itself could begin before 9:00 a.m. One of the first effects of Pope Pius XII’s period of experimentation after 1951 was that in some houses, the Minor Hours of Holy Saturday were restored to their normal times, and the Vigil was celebrated in the later afternoon, but this was by no means the universal practice. Morning celebration continued in many places until 1957.<br />

The old Dominican vigil began with the blessing of the new fire. The prior or another priest celebrant, in white cope, standing before the high altar, blessed lighted coals in a small metal dish held by the sacristan. (The coals were lighted without any special ceremony in the sacristry before the service.) The deacon held the missal. The blessing prayer <i>Domine sancte Pater</i> was short and merely recited, not sung. A small candle was then lighted from these coals, which were kept in the presbytery until the lighting of the church lamps, so that they could be used to relight the Easter Candle should a draft put it out. The deacon received the prior’s blessing, gave the subdeacon the missal and placed himself to the subdeacon’s left, (the Gospel side, as all were facing the altar.) Two acolytes with unlighted candles flanked the deacon and subdeacon. The prior took his place at the Epistle side of the altar, as he did for the singing of the Gospel at Solemn Mass. The deacon then sang the <i>Exultet</i>, for which the Dominicans have a tone somewhat different from the Roman, and which differs in a number of places from the Roman text.<br />
<br />
Although in modern times Dominicans used Easter candles of conventional size, as late as the 1800s we often used very large ones, much taller than those in use today. Our province archives have pictures from the 1850s of one of these candles at our old priory church in Benicia, California. (I will try to get a scan of it.) Dominicans did not use a three-branch holder for the Easter fire, and there was no chanting of <i>Lumen Christi</i>. In many priories, the ancient practice of the “Easter Card” (Cartula Paschalis) was maintained into the last century; this was tacked to the candle in place of the modern practice of putting letters on the candle. The card gave the year of the Lord, the years since the foundation of the Order, and since the death of St. Dominic, the Epact, the Dominical letter, and the Indiction.<br />
<br />
When the deacon reached the words<i> In huius igitur noctis</i>, he inserted the first grain of incense into the candle; at the words <i>Rutilans ignis accendit</i>, he lit the Paschal candle. The server holding the other four grains of incense then inserted them as the deacon continued to sing the blessing. These acts would have required use of a ladder in the old days. As the deacon sang <i>Qui licit sit divisus in partes</i>, the two acolytes’ candles were lighted, and then, at <i>Pretiosae huius lampadis</i>, the church lamps. When the <i>Exultet</i> was finished, the ministers returned to the sacristy, put on white Mass vestments and returned to the altar. There they bowed and went to be seated for the readings, without any other ceremony. During this one Mass of the year, the acolytes’ candles were not snuffed when not in use, but allowed to burn continuously.<br />
<br />
A lector in surplice then sang the four readings of vigil: Genesis 1, 1 -2, 2; Exodus 14, 24-31; Isaiah 4, 1-6; and Isaiah 54, 17 - 55, 11. In the thirteenth-century the number of readings at the vigil varied widely, from 4 to 18. The Dominican shorter version was found widely in use in Italy; there is actually nothing unusual about it, so I do not believe that it was a special model for the post-1955 Roman revision of the Vigil, since the readings do not match exactly. I would think that the Roman model was one of the shorter Italian (Roman) uses from the middle ages. <br />
<br />
A Tract and Collect followed each reading except that from Genesis, which had only a Collect. The second reading from Isaiah had two collects, one before and one after the Tract <i>Sicut Cervus</i>. Two chanters wearing surplices <i>in medio chori</i> then lead the community in singing the Litany of the Saints in its Dominican form. When the choir had sung the last <i>Agnus Dei</i> of the Litany, the choir began the Easter <i>Kyrie</i>, and the major ministers approached the altar for the prayers at the foot of the altar. <br />
<br />
At the center of the altar, the priest intoned the <i>Gloria </i>in the solemn tone, very similar to that of Roman Mass IV; as it was intoned, the organ played for the first time since the beginning of Lent, the church bells were rung for the first time since Holy Thursday, and the friars took off their black cappas to reveal their white habits. The subdeacon then sang the Epistle from Colossians 3.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5rsC2IPDMXg/R9L7hpOfxjI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/-bj7HVPBoGM/s1600-h/Alleluia.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175475477223032370" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5rsC2IPDMXg/R9L7hpOfxjI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/-bj7HVPBoGM/s400/Alleluia.JPG" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" /></a>The Dominican way of singing the Easter Alleluia before the Gospel differs from the common Roman form, with its three repetitions of the Alleluia and cantors raising each intonation. To the right you can see the Easter Alleluia according to the Domincan chant, the melody of which differs a bit from the common Roman form. You can also see how it is sung. Two cantors <i>in medio chori</i> intone it and the friars all rise. The community then joins in on the short melisma at the end: as indicated by the double bar. Note that this use of the double bar in Dominican notation functions as does the asterisk in Solesmes notation. Then the entire Alleluia is repeated by all, as indicated by the word “<i>Repet(itur)</i>” The friars then sit while the two cantors sing the verse, joining in for <i>eius</i> at the end, again, as indicated by the double bar before that word. As can be seen from “<i>Non repet(itur)</i> Alleluia”, the Alleluia is not repeated after the verse. The Dominican practice is to repeat the Alleluia only once, before the verse. Originally we sang the Alleluia once more after the verse, as I will explain below. Another pair of cantors next joined the original two to sing, antiphonally, the Tract (Ps. 116), after which the deacon chanted the Gospel from Matthew 28.<br />
<br />

In the picture to the right you can see one of the four extant Dominican Missals from before this reform, representing a standardization of Dominican practice known as “the Liturgy of the Four Friars”, which was approved in 1246. The left page shows the end of the Litany and the Vigil Mass of Easter (the right page is the Mass of Christmas). If you look carefully you can see where the rubrics for the Alleluia have been changed to conform to Humbert’s revision: originally the Alleluia was sung a third time after the verse. This is here crossed out. The Tract was then sung in medio with two pairs of friars alternating the verses. At the Gospel only incense was used; no candles or cross were carried. There was no <i>Credo</i> and no Offertory chant.<br />
<br />
The Mass then continued as usual until the <i>Pax Domini</i>. Unlike the usual practice at Solemn Mass, the <i>Pax</i> instrument was not passed and there was no <i>Agnus Dei</i>. Rather, a very short Vespers service began immediately after the response to the <i>Pax Domini</i>. The triple Alleluia antiphon was sung and followed by Psalm 116 with its <i>Gloria Patri</i>. After the choir repeated the antiphon, the cantor intoned the Magnificat Antiphon <i>Vespere autem sabbati</i>, which was also repeated after the choir had finished the <i>Magnificat</i>. The priest, who had by this time finished communion, then sang the Postcommunion prayer. The Mass ended in the usual way with the <i>Placeat</i>, the <i>Ite Missa est</i>, the blessing, and the Last Gospel; the deacon, however, sang the <i>Ite</i> with two alleluias. Compline was sung after the major meal with chants proper to the Easter season and the <i>Salve Regina</i> was followed by a procession to the altar of the Virgin Mary singing the Litany of Loreto, as was customary on all Saturdays of the year. (The Dominicans sing the <i>Salve Regina</i> all year round after Compline.)<br />
<br />
There was no General Communion of the friars at the vigil because the Easter General Communion was at the Mass of Easter itself. However, I understand that in many places, a General Communion had been introduced into the vigil in the early part of the twentieth century; such was the practice at our House of Studies in the early 1950s. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Dominican Vigil is the absence of any rites related to Baptism and the font. This reflects the monastic origins of our rite: monasteries did not have pastoral cures and so had no baptismal font since they never needed to perform baptisms. The rite is also of interest for the simplicity of the fire ceremony, which is probably quite ancient.<br />
