CARDINAL RAYMOND BURKE NAMED NEW HEAD FOR THE CONGREGATION OF DIVINE WORSHIP (PIPEDREAM OR POSSIBLE?)

This photo alone may answer the question:

 

Okay, maybe my clairvoyance has gone bizerk. Maybe it is a fargone conclusion that Cardinal Burke's liturgical sensitivities are way beyond anything Pope Francis wishes to promote in his papacy as it concerns the EF, cappas and lace. But Cardinal Burke is on the Congregation for divine Worship as a member and as of the writing of this post still is. We know that the current head, of the Ratzinger school of liturgy, will be leaving shortly and a new head is going to be named. Rumors since the beginning of this papacy have been Archbishop Pietro Marini will be the new head. I have tried to start the rumor that it will be Monsignor Guido Marini and he will be made an archbishop. But lacking in that, let me start the rumor it will be Cardinal Burke! 

 

If Burke or the angelic Marini are named, can we expect what the Anglican Use Liturgy allows for their new Roman Missal (only in terms of the Extraordinary Form elements, not the Anglican elements) would be allowed to the pure Roman Missal in the Ordinary Form? Why in the name of God and all that is holy, would the Anglicans get the good stuff and not rank and file craddle Catholics whose liturgical patrimony is the EF Mass? 

 

The Following is copied or lifted directly from the new Anglican Ordinariate Mass which allows for their Mass (in the appendix of their new Roman Missal) the Extraordinary Form's "Pryaers at the Foot of the Altar in English, with revised rubrics, the traditional EF Offertory Prayers and Washing of Hands, the Roman Canon with EF rubrics and the Last Gospel after the Dismissal of the Mass. 

 

This of course is with our revised Ordinary Form Mass, so nothing else would have to change. It is the Ordinary Form's Missal entirely with the Ordinary Form's Lectionary and manner of proclaiming the Scriptures with laity involved and so on:

 

 

After the Priest and Deacons

have vested, the following prayers may be said

in preparation for Holy Mass, either in the

sacristy or at the foot of the a

ltar.

If the following is prayed at the foot of the a

ltar, and if the People join in

saying

the responses and pray

ing the Confiteor, this form may

replace the

usual Penitential Rite.

Priest

Give sentence with me, O God, and defend my cause against the

ungodly people; O deliver

me from the deceitful and wicked

man.

 

Servers

For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from

thee? and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth me?

Priest

O send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me, and

bring me unt

Servers

And that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of

my joy and gladness; and upon the harp will I give thanks unto

thee, O God, my God.

Priest

Why art thou so heavy, O my soul? and why art thou so

disquieted within me?

the help of my countenance, and my God.

At the discretion of the Priest, the following forms of the Confiteor may be

omitted, and the Preparatory Prayers may continue then with the versicle,

Wilt thou not turn again

.

Priest

I confess to Almighty God, to Blessed Mary ever

-

Virgin, to

Blessed Mic

hael the Archangel, to Blessed John the Baptist, to

the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, to all the Saints, and to you,

brethren,

that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, deed;

[he strikes hisbreast thrice]

by my fault, by my own fault, by

my own most grievous fault. Wherefore I beg Blessed Mary ever

-

Virgin, Blessed Michael the Archangel, Blessed John the Baptist,

the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Angels and Saints, and

you, my brethren, to pray for

me to the Lord our God.

Servers

May almighty God have mercy upon thee, forgive thee thy sins,

and bring thee to everlasting life.

Priest

Amen.

 

Servers

I confess to Almighty God, to Blessed Mary ever....

Priest

The almighty and merciful Lord grant unto us pardon,



absolution, and remission of our sins.

Servers

Amen.

___________

Priest

Wilt thou not turn again and quicken us, O

God?

Servers

That thy people may rejoice in thee.

Priest

O Lord, show thy mercy upon us.

Servers

And grant us thy salvation.

Priest

O Lord, hear my prayer.

Servers

And let my cry come unto thee

 

When prayed at the foot of the altar,

the Introit

follows. The Priest ascends

to the altar and venerates it with a kiss

and, if appropriate to the dignity of

the celebration, he censes the altar and cross. Mass

continues.

 

The Offertory (Form I)

 

Having prepared sufficient bread for communion, the Priest takes the paten

with the bread and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands,

saying in a low voice:

 

Receive, O holy Father, almighty and everlasting God, this spotless host,

which I, thine unworthy servant, now offer unto thee, my living andtrue

God, for my numberless sins, offences, and negligences; for all here

present; as also for the faithful in

Christ, both the quick and t

he dead, that it

may avail for

their salvation and mine, unto life everlasting. Amen.

Then making a cross with the paten, he places

the paten with the bread

upon the corporal. The Deacon

pours wine anda little

water in

o the

chalice,

the Priest first blessing with the sign of the cross the water to be mixed in

the chalice,saying:

O God



, who didst wondrously create, and yet more won

drously renew the

dignity of man’s nature: Grant that

by the mystery of this

water and wine

we may be made partakers of his divinity, as he vouchsafed to become

partaker of our humanity, eve

n Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord;

who liveth

and reigneth with thee in the u

nity of the Holy Spirit, one God,

world without

end. Amen.

Then he takes

the chalice, and offers it,slightly elevating it and saying

in a

low voice:

We offer unto thee, O Lord, the

chalice

of salvation, beseeching thy mercy, that it may ascend in the sight of thy divine majesty as a sweet smelling savour for our salvation,

and for that of the whole world. Amen.

He makes the sign of the cross with the chalice and places it upon the

corporal, and covers it with the pall. Then with hands joined upon the altar,

bowing he says:

In a

humble spirit, and with a contrite heart, may we

be accepted of thee, O Lord,

and so let our sacrifice be

offered

in thy sight this day, that it may be

pleasing unto thee, O Lord our God.

Standing upright, he extends his hands, raises them and joins them, and

lifting his eyes to heaven and

then lowering them, says:

Come, thou O sanctifier, almighty, everlasting God,

and



bless this

sacrifice, made ready for thy holy Name

 

if incense is used, he blesses it

saying:

Through the intercession of blessed Michael the Archangel standing at the

right hand of the altar of incense, and of all his elect, may the Lord

vouchsafe to



bless this incense, and to receive it for a sweet smelling

savour; through Christ our Lord. Amen

.

And receiving the thurible, he censes the Oblations, in the customary

manner.

Then he

censes the altar and returns the thurible to the Deacon

or server

.

Then the Priest is censed by the Deacon

or server, and afterwards the others

in order. Meanwhile, the Priest, standing at the side of the altar,

washes hishands, saying

in a low voice:

I will was

h my hands in innocency, O Lord;

and so will I go to

thine altar;

T

hat I may show the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous

works.

Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house and the place where

thine honour dwelleth. O shut not up my soul with the sinners, nor

my life

with the blood

-

thirsty; In whose hands is wickedness,

and their right hand is

full of gifts. But as for me, I will

walk innocently: O deliver me, and be

merciful unto me. My foot standeth right;

I will praise the Lord in the

congregations.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit

.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without

end.

Amen.

Psalm 26:6-12

Then bowing in the middle of the altar, with hands joined upon it, he says

in

a low voice:

Receive, O holy Trinity, this oblation which we offer unto thee in memory of

the passion, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord

Jesus Christ;in honour

of blessed Mary ever

-

virgin, of blessed John the Baptist, of the

holy Apostles

Peter and Paul,

and all the Saints, that it may be to their honour, and for our

salvation; and that

like as we remember them on earth, so in heaven they

may plead for us. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Priest kisses the altar and, turning towards the People, extending and

then joining his hands, says:

Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable unto God,

the Father almighty.

 

The beginning of the Roman Canon:

The People kneel. The Priest, with hands extended says; or, extending,

raising, and then joining his hands whilst raising his eyes to heaven and

immediately lowering them, bows deeply before the altar, and w

ith his

hands resting on it,

says:

[Celebrant alone]

THEREFORE,

most

merciful Father, we humbly pray thee, through Jesus

Christ thy Son our Lord,

He may kiss the altar. Making then the sign of the cross over the bread and

chalice together he says:

and we ask, that thou accept and bless these



gifts, these offerings,

these holy and unblemished sacrifices.

With hands extended, he continues:

WE offer them unto thee, first, for thy holy Catholic Church: that thou

vouchsafe to keep her

in peace, to

guard, unite, and govern her

throughout the whole world; together with thy servant

N.

our Pope,

[N.,our Ordinary,]

or

[N., our Bishop,]

and all the faithful guardians of the catholic and

apostolic faith.

Commemoration of the Living

[Celebrant or one

concelebrant]

REMEMBER, O Lord, thy servants and handmaids [N.

and

N.]

The Priest joins his hands and prays briefly for those for whom he intends to

pray; then with hands extended, he continues:

and all who here around us stand, whose faith is known

unto thee and their

steadfastness manifest, on whose behalf we offer unto thee,

or who

themselves offer unto thee this sacrifice of praise; for themselves, and for all

who are theirs; for the redemption of their souls, for the hope of their

health and well-being; and who offer their prayers unto thee, the eternal God, the

living and the true...

 

 

The Last Gospel

 

The Priest

may recite this Gospel after Mass (except on Christmas Day when

this is the Gospel of the Mass).

After the Blessing and Dismissal the Priest

goes to the Gospel corner of the

altar and reads the Last Gospel as follows, all standing. Having said

The Lord be with you,

he makes the sign of the cross with his right thumb on the

altar table

or on the book, and then on his own forehead, lips, and breast.

Everyone genuflects at the words

And the

Word was made flesh

.

V.

The Lord be with you.

R.

And with thy spirit.



The Beginning of the Holy Gospel according to John.

R.

Glory be to thee, O Lord.

IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word

was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All

things were made by

him;

and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life;

and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in darkness;

and

the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose

name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the light,

that all men through him might believe. He was not that light, but was sent

to bear witness of that light.

That was the true light, which lighteth every

man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was

made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his

own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he

power

to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his Name: which

were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man,

but of God.

[He genuflects, saying]

And the Word was made flesh,

[and

rising continues]

and dwelt

among us,

and we beheld his glory, the glory as

of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The People respond:

Thanks be to God.
