The 2 and 3 year cycles went right over my head as a youth and the 1 year calender just seems to work cognitively in many people's brain. Seasons repeat yearly, as do holidays, birthdays, etc. It just seems un-natural to have year A,B,C. etc.. I didn't retain much hearing things this way. There is always room for extra scriptual studies in our private time or in additional parish gatherings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-84115949731494272252010-01-01T21:58:17.302-05:002010-01-01T21:58:17.302-05:00I am not so sure that could be done, as I SP speci...I am not so sure that could be done, as I SP specifically freed the EF Mass to be said "in accordance with MR1962". But of course, in such matters Father I would submit to your authority.<br /><br />I think it would be a logical development of the Mass, and in the back of my mind I can't help but feel that Pope Benedict's ultimate vision was to have the OF/EF influence each other so that an organic development between the 2 could come about, taking the best of both, but that would be down the road.<br /><br />While we're wishing listing things, one thing I would love to see gone from the OF is the Responsorial, I always find it awkward and contrived in a dialog, tit for tat format. Better the whole Psalm be sung by a Choir and and a single response by the congregation at the end. But that's just my opinion of course.Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-68191621324495005912009-12-30T05:30:49.507-05:002009-12-30T05:30:49.507-05:00From my understanding, it is permissible to use th...From my understanding, it is permissible to use the OF Lectionary in the celebration of the EF Mass. One would then follow the OF calendar for Sunday celebrations of the EF Mass. This would offend purists of the EF Mass, but I think it is a sensible option. I believe also that the option of having the introit, offertory antiphon and communion antiphon in English is possible as well as the Last Gospel. However, since the Last Gospel always is the same, I see no difficulty in proclaiming it in the traditional way. However, at this time it is not permissible to have the EF in English, although the 1965 missal allowed for all the laity's parts to be in the vernacular. All the unchanging and quiet parts of the priest, including the Roman Canon remained in Latin. I think this is a marvelous compromise.<br />I would also like to see the postures of the EF and OF to be synchronized so that people who attend the EF only occasionally are not confused about standing, kneeling and sitting and that the postures remain the same for low and high Masses. Of course all of the above in my wish list should be seen as optional and that the pure EF Mass would still be the standard for the EF Mass. -- Fr. McDonaldFr. Allan J.
