Ceremonies Of The Modern Roman Rite, 2nd Edition Ebooks Online
At last, a complete ceremonial manual for the celebration of the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours. Faithful to the renewal of worship authorized by the Second Vatican Council, Ceremonies combines precise guidance to these rites with a pastoral and spiritual approach. A high ideal of noble Catholic worship is consistently maintained, respecting the "continuity of our tradition".Ceremonies sets out the liturgical duties of bishops, priests and deacons, acolytes and servers, lectors and eucharistic ministers etc., hence it is invaluable for clergy and seminarians and all who teach or study the liturgy. Ceremonies includes a wide range of guidance on such useful themes as: vessels and vestments, how to carry out ceremonial actions, the deacon, ministering the Eucharist to the sick, children's liturgy, Eucharistic adoration, Eucharistic processions, celebrating vespers in a parish, eucharistic ministries and the laity, the location of the tabernacle, etc.However, Ceremonies is primarily a book to be used; a practical manual for clergy, MC's, sacristans, liturgical committees and all planning worship in parishes.

Before the changes to the liturgy following the Second Vatican Council, rubrics (liturgical laws) were a serious matter. They were observed by clergy under pain of sin, and many manuals were available to assist their proper execution. This approach had its strengths in that priests generally did what they were supposed to, and its weaknesses - sometimes they were observed in a dry, legalistic way, without regard for common sense, or good taste.Whatever their limitations, they were - and despite liturgical malpractice of some, they remain - an indispensable element of the Church's public worship. They give order to and protect the meaning of the ceremonies given to us by the Church for the celebration of the Mass, and the other Sacraments and rites.It is from this standpoint that Monsignor Elliott, an Australian priest, offers his manual, the first extensive book on the ceremonial of the Modern Roman Rite, at least in the English language. He draws upon his wide range of pastoral experience in various countries and the advice of many others to put together a work that is more than just a rubrical manual. Ceremonies of the Modern Roman Rite is an authoritative and traditional guide to the post-conciliar liturgy written with common sense and in the light of the author's appreciation of good liturgical taste.It could be objected that such a work is thereby subjective, and carries little real authority. Undoubtedly there are many of the author's opinions with which one could enter into dialogue. He himself would admit this, provided such dialogue respects the `givens' of the Rite, which he outlines clearly.
