It's a pleasure to find out that one of the priests involved in THE NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT blog is only two towns northwest of my parish. Yes - he's Father Thomas Kocik, a priest at St. Thomas More in Somerset MA, and is author of "Reform of the Reform?" For those who don't know the Fall River MA area, Somerset is just west of Fall River, and my parish in Tiverton RI is just south of Fall River. He, like my own boss, has a wonderful sense of liturgy. Hard to find two like that in a 15-minute stretch like that these days.
My opinion - the younger generation of seminarians coming around (in general) are doing something many of the priests of the '70's and '80's didn't - and that's see eye to eye with the liturgy. These younger priests/seminarians I've run into lately seem to have a pretty dang good appreciation for the Sacred. For that, I commend them!
Peace

TWO NEW BLOGS LINKED
I added two new blogs to my list of links on the right sidebar. These two are very pertinant to liturgy.
First is the joint venture created by Shawn Tribe and several others (including priests) called THE NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT. This blog is dedicated to the "reform of the reform" called for by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI).
The other is THE TRADITIONAL ROMAN MASS. This blog is dedicated to something almost totally forgotten in the Roman Catholic Church - the 1965 Missal - the Vatican II Missal before Pope Paul VI introduced the Novus Ordo that we know today.
Speaking of the '65 Missal - did anyone ever notice that a good chunk of the rough draft of the in-the-works new translation of the Novus Ordo is in line with the '65 Missal? I don't mean the stuff that was eliminated (like the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar), but major prayers/hymns like the Gloria, Credo, etc.

THE QUIET CORNER: LITURGICAL ABUSE EXPOSED!
Fr. John Kiley's "Quiet Corner" is printed weekly in our diocesan newspaper, the Providence Visitor, and is also published in the website of one of the two parishes he runs in Warwick, RI. His articles are often better than most. This one was printed in the September 15 edition, where Father had gone West, only to attend Mass and encounter a horrid scene. Chime in, y'all, and let me know if any of this stuff goes on in your parish, or your neighbor's parish.
BTW, my take on Fr. Kiley's column's: the man is a "must read". The progressives can't stand him. The Catholics love him. I'm glad he's in this diocese, and dean of his deanery. He's wonderful. He should have been head of the diocesan worship department.
Read on and enjoy!
Peace,

SUNDAY XXVI
Sat. 4:30 / Sun. 7:30, 9, 10:30 (Senior choir)
INTROIT (10:30): Tone 8G (Latin text from the Gregorian Missal)
PROCESSIONAL HYMN: KING'S WESTON - At the name of Jesus
KYRIE: Parrot the celebrant
GLORIA (10:30): Peloquin - Gloria of the Bells
PSALM: Tone 8G - Remember your mercies, O Lord
ALLELUIA: Mode VI

SANCTUS: Mass XVIII (Latin)
MYSTERIUM and PER IPSUM: Peloquin - Mass of the Bells

COMMUNION HYMN: Mode VI - Ubi Caritas (Latin)
COMMUNION PROPER (10:30): Tone 8G (Latin text from the Gregorian Missal)
RECESSIONAL HYMN: LAUDA ANIMA - Praise, my soul, the King of heaven
In response to a question on last week's posting, my repeating of "Praise, my soul, the King of heaven" - at the beginning of the month, the parish took this hymn NEW. May not be new to many organists, but (unfortunately) is new to many Catholic parishes, at least around here. I think in my years I've heard ONE organist do "Praise my soul". When I take something new, I repeat it for 3-4 weeks at a time so that the people will have it down, and I can safely use it again a few weeks later down the line. :-)
