Catholic Liturgy Change On Sunday

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International Sunday morning, In thousands of U.S. Catholic parishes, the priest will proclaim in clear, audible English: “The Lord be with you.” That is the great refrain of the Mass. For nearly 2, 000 years, it has been said in Latin, “Dominus vobiscum." . The change from Latin to the language of the people is one of the far-reaching liturgical reforms authorized by the Vatican Ecumenical Council last year. The council decree left it up to each national hierarchy to decide when the new "vernacular mass" would take effect. U.S. Catholic bishops chose Nov. 29—the first Sunday of Advent, the beginning of a new church year. Latin will continue to be used for some parts of the Mass, notably the prayers which the priest says silently at the altar during the preparation and consecration of the bread and wine. But English will henceforth be lawful <or all parts of the service which are intended for the instruction of the jxjople, or in which the congregation is expected to participate. These include the scripture readings, the Creed, the Ixird’s Prayer, and the ancient hymn of praise known as the Gloria, which begins, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace to men of good will." Other Innovations The use of English is only one of several innovations in Catholic worship which will delight some worshippers and disturb others. The liturgical reform decree also stipulates that a sermon should be preached at every Sunday Mass. It recommends the re - arrangement of altars wherever feasible so that the priest stands facing the congregation instead of with his back to them. And it strongly encourages congregational hymn singing at appropriate points in the service, including the time when the priest is saying silent prayers at the foot of the altar. Besides getting used to 'English and ' learning -to sing hymns, the man in the pew also has to learn a whole new set of postures. In the past, he could remain kneeling throughout a low mass, except during the reading of the Gospel, when everyone was expected to stand. The new rules provide for much more standing—for example, during the entrance rite, during the recitation of the Creed, and for the saying of the Lord's Prayer. On the other hand, they also allow the congregation to sit occasionally—during the reading of the Epistle, the offertory. prayers and, of course, during the sermon. Become Mere Active - • Alt of the liturgical reforms have one great purpose: to make worship more meaningful by Involving the laity as active participants rather than silent spectators. The new form of service will make heavy demands on priests. When they were using

a strange tongue, they could mutter and slud words, or deliver prayers in a monotonous sing-song tone, without too much protest from the faithful. But U.S. bishops have issued a warning to all priests that "when the vernacular is used, there is the greatest possibility of scandal.” Prists have been admonished to avoid "monotonous patterns of speech,” and to say all prayers in a careful and measured tone which will "convoy that he sincerely means what he says." In keeping with the general trend toward a more important role for the laity, the new rules permit—in fact encourage—the use of laymen as "lectors" to read the Epistle portion of the scripture lessons. Giving New Instructions Many parishes have been preparing for the change-over in recent weeks by giving instructions on the English prayers and responses to be recited and the hymns to be sung by the people. * But the transition will still be trauma'ic for many devout Catholics who have spent a lifetime getting accustomed to the old kind of Mass. They may find a temporary respite by seeking out and attending high masses. A high mass is sung, rather than spoken like a low mass. And there has not yet been time to preI>are and approve new musical settings for the English text. So, for perha[>s some years, high masses will continue in Latin. On the other hand, Catholics who are enthusiastic about the new look can count on still more striking changes next March. Beginning with the first Sunday of Lent, the Mass will be shortened and "clarified" by the elimination of a number of prayers, psalms and readings which get tacked on during the middle ages, and which liturgical reformers consider to be redundant and anti-climactic. One effect will be to terminate the Mass at the point where it obviously wks originally meant to end— namely, when the priest says, "Go, the mass is ended."
