Revised GIRM (2002) – 3rd typical edition 1. What is the GIRM? 1.1 GIRM 21: Aim of Instruction: to guide for properly arranging the celebration, and provide rules to celebrate the various forms of the Eucharistic Celebration i.e. Mass without Congregation, Mass with Congregation (without deacon, with deacon), etc. 1.2 It is a set of norms we must follow so that the Eucharistic Celebration will be a valid and licit Catholic celebration (Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, no.11). These norms (399 articles) are to ensure that the faithful take part in the celebration fully aware of what they are doing, actively engaged in the rite, and enriched by its effects, i.e. full, conscious and active participation. (Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, no. 11). 2. Reasons for a 3rd typical edition (2002): It is an on-going reform, a witness to unbroken Tradition (GIRM 7-9), and accepting adaptations local to the people in the region of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei (GIRM 10-11) 2.1 This revis...

The Angelus Prayer: L: The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary: A: And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. L: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: A: Be it done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary . . . L: And the Word was made Flesh: A: And dwelt among us. Hail Mary . . . L: Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God:  A: That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. L: Let us pray: A: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen. The Angelus (Latin for Angel) is a Christian devotion in memory of the Incarnation. The name Angelus is de...

Tanda-tanda Liturgi “Maka sewajarnnya, Liturgi dipandang pelaksanaan tugas imam Yesus Kristus (1). Dalamnya, lewat tanda-tanda lahir (2) ditunjukkan dan dihasilkan pengudusan manusia (1), masing-masing menurut caranya sendiri (2), dan dilaksanakan ibadat umum seutuhnya oleh Tubuh Mistik Yesus Kristus, yakni oleh Kepala dan anggota-anggota-Nya.” (SC 7) (1) Pelaksanaan tugas Yesus yang menguduskan itu didatangkan kita melalui tanda-tanda lahir di dalam perayaan liturgy. Siapakah Yesus? Apakah diriNya dan perlasanaanNya kudus? Pada masa kini, sesiapa orang, setiap nilai, tingkahlaku, segalanya, dipersoalkan oleh manusia yang menjadi angkuh hatinya. Tidak ada lagi rasa suci, hormat, tunduk. Manusia menganggap dirinya allah, dan bersikap begitu saja terhadap yang Ilahi dan karyaNya. Sikap yang kehilangan sikap suci dan kudus telahpun terbawa ke dalam perayaan liturgy. (2) Asal harapaan mengubahkan keadaan jahat ini terdapat dengan mengubahsesuaikan sikap kita dengan melaksanakan tan...

Kerohanian Ekaristi Definisi Apakah itu Kerohanian Ekaristi? Suatu cara hidup menurut apa yang dirayakan di dalam Ekaristi, setiap orang di dalam keadaan/panggilan/peranan/tempat hidupnya. Ekaristi: Sumber dan Puncak kehidupan Kristen Ekaristi, Sakramen yang menginitiasikan secara berterusan Sakramen2 initiasi: Pembaptisan-Penguatan-Ekaristi Ekaristi terus initiasikan apa yang telah diterima waktu pembaptisan dan penguatan - Dosa2 diampuni - Kelahiran baru oleh Roh Kudus, menjadi anak Allah - Menjadi anggota Gereja, Tubuh Kristus - Diperkuatkan dan diutus untuk Pelayanan dan Kesaksian Maka, Ekaristi terus memperupakan diri kita kepada rupanya Kristus, rupa semporna Allah yg tak kelihatan Lagipula, ia memperaktifkan semua sakramen kehidupan yang lain: Penitenza, Pengurapan Orang Sakit, Pengtahbisan, Perkahwinan. Ia merupakan sakramen dasar. Tanpanya kehidupan Kristen tak dapat diamalkan. Ekaristi dan Kehidupan Kristen / Kerohanian (CL 10, PUMR) Apakah realiti yang d...

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Session 1: A Brief Historical Surve (By, Dr. Sherman,sfo,  Permanent Deacon, Director of the Institute Pastoral Centre, Melaka Johor Diocese) ► Inasmuch as we would like to think that Christianity exists in unity today, it does not.  Patristic Period : schism in the Eastern Church  Medieval Period : schism between East and West  Reformation Period : schism in the Western Church  Modern Period : efforts towards reconciliation and mutual understanding A simplified chart of historical branches within the Christian belief system 1. Split in the Eastern Church (Patristic Period) ► The Church, East and West, held councils to resolve issues when less formal dialogue failed to produce a consensus.  1st Nicaea (325) 5th Constantinople (553) 2nd Constantinople (381) 6th Constantinople (680) 3rd Ephesus (431) 7th Nicaea (787) 4th Chalcedon (451) ► A major split took place at the 4th Council (451). ► The Council of Chalcedon held that Jes...

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Session 8: The Call to Christian Unity 1. The word most commonly used in association with Christian unity is “ecumenism”. It is derived from Greek οἰκουμένη (oikoumene), which means "the inhabited world”. ► It refers to the movement towards co-operation among streams of Christianity.  For Catholics, complete unity means reconciling all who profess Christian faith to bring them into a single organisation, i.e. union with the Roman Catholic Church.  For Orthodox, it means a complete theological unity.  For Protestants, spiritual unity suffices. 2. The Catholic Church ► It is a supreme duty to seek full unity with estranged Christian communions.  At the same time the Catholic Church rejects any promiscuous and false union that would mean glossing over the teaching of Scripture and Tradition. ► Before the Second Vatican Council, the main stress was laid on this second aspect, i.e., avoiding the compromise of the teaching of Scripture and T...

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Session 7: Conversations about Ethics 1. Abortion and Contraception ► Catholics: Sanctity of Life  The conservative Christian position is that life begins at conception.  To eject any life form from the womb at any point of pregnancy is homicide.  Pregnancy arising from incest or rape has no bearing on the quality of a potential life.  The lone exception is a mother requiring an urgent life-or-death procedure.  The use of contraception is equal to abortion - both being seen as a "culture of death". Condoms are permitted for couples if one partner is HIV positive. ► Orthodox: Sanctity of Life  Orthodox Christians may never destroy human life in any form.  At no time may they secure an abortion, assist another in obtaining one, or support causes which promote abortion as a right of the parents.  In the case of rape or incest, the Church does not accept the idea of abortion as a solution to the problem because there is an al...

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Session 6: Conversations about Leadership 1. Ordination of Ministers ► Catholics and Orthodox: Holy Orders  The term “Holy Orders” refers to people who have been ordained or appointed to offices of pastoral leadership in the Church.  Ordination of bishops, priests and deacons leaves an indelible mark (called a “sacramental character”) on the recipient’s soul. ► Protestants: Functional Ministers  No “Holy Orders” because ordination does not have a sacramental character.  The degree of ministerial authority varies. Some have no ordained office.  Ordinations are primarily functional in character. 2. Deacons ► Catholics: Transitional and Permanent Deacons  Icons of Christ the Servant. There are transitional deacons (who have to be celibate) and permanent deacons (who may be married).  Deacons baptise, witness at a Holy Matrimonies, preside at funerals, at various services, and may give blessings. They cannot give absolution, anoint th...
