SOBRIETY IS THY NAME O DIVINE WORSHIP, THE MISSAL

Please note there is not a hint of triumphalism in the opening hymn of this Ordinariate's Diaconate Ordination. Why is that, you ask? Because the Introit is chanted in Latin (could have been in English) and in the EF's tradition. No tympani, horns, strings and overpowering organ to greet the royalty of those to be ordained!!!!!!!

Please note how obscure the bishop is for the Introductory Rite. They use the  Anglican Options for this prior to the magnificent Kyrie and their English version of the Gloria which is very nice.

It is worth watching and could easily be done in our Ordinary Form with our current Roman Missal. It is a no-brainer, no?

Where was this held?

Anonymous @ 3;33, it was at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham in Houston, Texas. That's the Ordinariate's cathedral.

Thanks, JR---I am glad we have such an Ordinariate, shows that we have a number of different rites like the Eastern Orthodox (not "one size fits all). Impressed that have their own cathedral. Well, speaking of rites, the one for installation of the new archbishop of Washington DC today starts at 2 at the National Basilica---the procession should be underway!
