Roger J. Landry<br \/>\nEditorial<br \/>\nThe Anchor<br \/>\nJuly 8, 2022<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ten days after the Church in the United States began the three-year national Eucharistic Revival on June 19, Pope Francis gave a major contribution to it, in his apostolic letter <em>Desiderio Desideravi<\/em>, dedicated to the liturgical formation of the people of God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important parts of the Revival is to help make the celebration of the Mass the practical source, summit, root and center of the life of the Church and of individual believers. For that to occur, the Church\u2019s theology of the liturgy must be assimilated, prayed and lived. That\u2019s what Pope Francis tried to do in his June 29 letter, giving \u201csome prompts or cues for reflections that can aid in the contemplation of the beauty and truth of Christian celebration,\u201d and inviting us \u201cto rediscover, to safeguard, and to live [its] truth and power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fifteen years ago, in his apostolic exhortation <em>Sacramentum Caritatis, <\/em>Pope Benedict called for a \u201cmystagogical catechesis\u201d and \u201ceducation in Eucharistic faith\u201d so that the faithful could \u201cbe helped to make their interior dispositions correspond to their gestures and words,\u201d and so that the hopes of the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council toward the faithful\u2019s full, active, conscious, fruitful and devout participation in the Mass could be fulfilled. What Pope Benedict called for \u2014 and in a sense had previously tried to sketch in his pre-papal book <em>The Spirit of the Liturgy \u2014 <\/em>Pope Francis has in fact provided in this eloquent, down-to-earth and beautiful letter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pope Francis\u2019 liturgical catechesis begins with Jesus\u2019 \u201cburning\u201d and \u201cinfinite\u201d yearning to bring everyone into communion with him through eating his Body and drinking his Blood. At the beginning of the Last Supper, Jesus told the apostles, \u201cI have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer (Lk 22:15) and that desire, the Pope says, precedes our attendance at Mass and every pious reception of him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pope Francis zealously calls on the Church to work \u201cso that all can be seated at the Supper of the sacrifice of the Lamb and live from him.\u201d He urges us not to \u201callow ourselves even a moment of rest, knowing that still not everyone has received an invitation to this Supper or that others have forgotten it or have got lost along the way in the twists and turns of human living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mass is the means, Pope Francis continues, for us concretely to encounter Jesus Christ, to receive his incarnate love, to enter into the power of his Paschal Mystery and together with him give full, pleasing and perfect worship of God the Father. The problem today is that many people attend Mass without consciously encountering Christ, without an awareness of what is taking place. That\u2019s why, he says, there are enormous stakes in the Church\u2019s getting the liturgy right and forming others to appreciate it, enter into it, and live it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Holy Father credits the Second Vatican Council and the liturgical movement that preceded it with reawakening a fuller \u201ctheological understanding of the Liturgy\u201d and its role in the life of the Church. He underlines that \u201cit is not an accident\u201d that Vatican II \u201cbegan with reflection on the liturgy\u201d because, as St. Paul VI said during the Council, \u201cthe liturgy is the first source of divine communion in which God shares his own life with us, \u2026 the first school of the spiritual life, [and] \u2026 the first gift we must make to the Christian people.\u201d Everything must begin with the worship of God.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The central question, Pope Francis says, is how do we learn to pray and live the liturgy? What formation is needed so that we may conform ourselves to Christ and abide in communion with him? He describes several \u201cstarting points,\u201d so that the fruits of the Conciliar liturgical reforms will be accessible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, we must understand and live the liturgy as properly centered on God and divine self-giving. This, the Pope says, is the antidote for the neo-Gnostic spiritual poison of egocentric emotivism as well as for the neo-Pelagian toxin of self-centered activism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, the liturgy must lead us, through the beauty of the celebration, to the \u201cbeauty of the truth.\u201d This is far from ritual aestheticism, or even a \u201cgreater interiority\u201d or \u201csense of mystery,\u201d but rather leads us to amazement at God\u2019s saving plan through Jesus\u2019 passion, death and resurrection, and ultimately to the astonished encounter with, and adoration of, Christ in the liturgy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, there is a need for a proper \u201cart of celebrating\u201d the Mass by both priests and people. Priests must recognize that they are called to be a \u201cparticular presence of the risen Lord,\u201d allowing the faithful, through the priest\u2019s gestures and words, to sense the burning desire of Jesus to give himself to them. For that reason, the priest must receive ongoing liturgical formation so that through the Mass he may truly evangelize, teach and set proper example. Such an art of celebrating obviously involves, Pope Francis stresses, fidelity to the rubrics of the Mass lest the faithful be \u201crobbed\u201d of what they are owed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Holy Father underlines, however, that the faithful must also recognize that it is the Church, and not the priest alone, who celebrates the liturgy in communion with Christ. Hence they must be helped to acquire the \u201cdiscipline\u201d of the Holy Spirit that not only forms their feelings, attitudes and liturgical behaviors but conforms them to Christ.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this to happen, fourth, the faithful must be assisted to rediscover the meaning of \u201csymbolic action\u201d in an age in which many are \u201cilliterate\u201d with regard to symbols and have therefore lost the ability to \u201crelate religiously as fully human beings.\u201d This recovered literacy must be both intellectual and experiential.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, Pope Francis emphasizes the importance of liturgical silence, which gives the Holy Spirit room to act so that he may help the faithful to receive God\u2019s word, grace and Eucharistic self-gift rather than to regard\u00a0the liturgy as primarily a human action.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one controversial part of the letter concerns Pope Francis\u2019 words about the celebration of the Latin Mass according to the pre-conciliar liturgical books. The Holy Father candidly admits, \u201cI do not see how it is possible to say that one recognizes the validity of the [Second Vatican] Council \u2026 and at the same time not accept the liturgical reform born out of <em>Sacramentum Concilium<\/em>,\u201d Vatican II\u2019s liturgical constitution. That\u2019s why, he insists, \u201cwe cannot go back to that ritual form that the Council Fathers \u2026 felt the need to reform\u201d \u2014\u00a0a reform, he said, whose fidelity to the Council Saints Paul VI and John Paul II \u201cguaranteed\u201d through approving the liturgical books. For that reason, the Holy Father says, he published his motu proprio <em>Traditionis Custodes <\/em>last July restricting celebrations of the pre-conciliar liturgy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most supporters and attendees of the pre-Conciliar form of the Latin Mass, however, would say that they, just like Pope-emeritus Benedict, absolutely accept the validity of the Council and its liturgical reforms but object to the post-Conciliar liturgical abuses, craziness and iconoclasm that took place supposedly in the name and spirit of the Council, what Pope Francis himself calls \u201cimaginative \u2014 sometimes wild \u2014 creativity.\u201d Such changes, which were neither approved by the Council in <em>Sacrosanctum Concilium<\/em> or by Paul VI and John Paul II in the reformed Missal, are, they assert, a total betrayal of the Council\u2019s vision and seem to be a far bigger threat to its liturgical reform than love for the pre-Conciliar liturgy. Most who attend the traditional Latin Mass say they do so out of desire for consistent liturgical reverence and fitting Eucharistic piety \u2014 not because they reject the Council and its authentic liturgical reforms, but only the false and foolish mutations pretending to have the Council\u2019s mandate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The faithful attached to the traditional Latin Mass have, moreover, often shown themselves to be far more aware of Jesus\u2019 passionate desire to celebrate the Passover with us, and far more deeply formed in the liturgical virtues Pope Francis mentions he would like to see in every Catholic, than those who have been schooled by the often uneven, average and occasionally \u201cwild\u201d celebration of the reformed liturgy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most should therefore be considered and treated as allies, rather than misunderstood and suspected as opponents, of the Pope\u2019s timely and prayerful push toward true and fitting worship and toward the Church\u2019s full Eucharistic revitalization.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24571\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?resize=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?resize=540%2C304&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?resize=344%2C194&amp;ssl=1 344w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?resize=1128%2C635&amp;ssl=1 1128w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/catholicpreaching.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/cq5dam.thumbnail.cropped.1500.844.jpeg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fr.
