Whether the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass Ought to be Celebrated Towards the East2015 •
In this paper I would like to examine the question of whether the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass ought to be celebrated facing towards the East, commonly referred to as ad orientem. Since the liturgical reforms that began in the 1950’s and reached their climax in the 60’s and 70’s, celebrating the Mass with the priest facing towards the people, versus populum, has become the norm in the New Order of the Mass. And yet, strong archaeological and historical evidence suggests that facing towards the orient was the common tradition of the Church beginning from apostolic times. What has caused such a dramatic change in how the Church worships in the Holy Liturgy? In most churches, the apse was where the cross was placed and where the blessed Sacrament was reposed, and it was traditionally built facing the orient. Eastward was from time immemorial symbolic of the risen Lord. Facing eastward was thus equivalent to facing towards the Lord. If the worship of the liturgy has Christ as its focal point, then it is quite natural to face eastwards and towards the cross during the sacred rites of the liturgy. But if, on the other hand, the liturgy is not so much about celebrating Christ’s coming to us, but instead about celebrating the community, then to have everyone facing the same direction, towards the rising sun, makes little sense. If we, the community, are what is most important, then we should be the center of the liturgy. And thus it would seem to make more sense that the priest and the people face each other in the liturgy, celebrating each other. In order to answer the question of whether the priest and the people ought to face each other or else together face eastward, we must look closely at the nature of the Mass and the principles of worship in order to see what is the best and most fitting way to adore our Lord. So as to make the truth of our conclusion more evident, we will first examine a number of objections that argue against Mass being celebrated ad orientem. By first building up the opposing position as much as possible, we hope that then our response will become even more apparent when contrasted to these arguments. Following our main response, we will answer each of the objections individually.

The Spirit of Liturgical Reform and the «Vota» of the Fathers of Vatican II on the Lectionary for Mass2023 •
In this paper, the various suggestions made directly before the Second Vatican Council regarding the reform of the Mass lectionary are examined, with the aim of seeing how consistent they are with the "spirit of the liturgy" as expressed by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. Beginning with the various international liturgical conferences of the 1950s, we proceed to a detailed investigation of the pre-conciliar «vota» of the Fathers of Vatican II, a much-neglected body of primary source material for the interpretation of the Council. Finally, there is a brief look at the composition of the relevant sections of the draft liturgy schema that would be presented to the Fathers at the beginning of the Council, with some conclusions about whether the subsequent post-conciliar reform of the lectionary was in keeping with either their intentions, or the spirit of the liturgy.

This paper seeks to outline the historical development of the Liturgy, and in particular, the Eucharist from its Institution at the Last Supper until its present form. The authors examine the context of the Last Supper in some detail, noting the Jewish influence of Passover and the Roman persecution on the fledgling sect as it grappled during the first few centuries of its existence to maintain an identity and to flourish in spite of such persecution. The influence on the liturgy in ‘peace-time’ is seen through the diversification of rites. The establishment of the Roman Canon and the eventual standardization at the Council of Trent is explained. This paper concludes with the further reforms after Trent at Vatican II and discusses how they have been received. It is of course completely impossible to do justice to any of these topics in such a short and cursory overview as this paper must attempt. What the authors hope to achieve through this paper, apart from a broadening of their own understanding through the various readings in preparation for this paper, is to show how at each stage of the development of the Liturgy there will be differences, it is hoped that one can also see the similarities. The paper describes how the Mass moved from a communal meal to a sacred one; how at different stages the human and divine aspects of the Liturgy became important; and how because of this importance further fights ensued and were expressed externally through public disagreement over such major issues as transubstantiation, or internally within the Church between rites and Mass translations. To put it simply: The Mass Matters – and it is necessary to understand what it is in the Mass that led Catholics to be prepared to be martyred, to travel as missionaries in foreign lands, to baptise and to preach to converts, so that they might fulfil the Lord’s command to do this in memory of Him.
