SpeakingoftheChurch's oneness,thePopenotedthat St.JohninhisGospelalludestoitsunityatleast fourtimes.Citingitsholiness,thePopespokeofthe "millionsandmillionsof soulsconsecratedtoloveand sacrifice,consecratedtothe DivineModel."

"Thinkofthecatholicity oftheChurchwhichis spreadeverywhere,tothe remotestcornersofthe earth,"hesaid,"differentin itsritesbutunitedinits universalstructureandorganisation."

"Andbeholdlastly,"he concluded,"themarkofthe apostolicityoftheChurch, dynamicinverypowerful energy-heavenlyfiredestinedtolightthewhole world."

Expressinghisconceptof theecumenicalcouncil,the Popesaid:"Howmajestic, howbrilliantlybeautifulis thevisionoftheaimsofthe Christianapostolateextend-

ingovertheimmenseregions oftheentireworld-the ecumenicalcouncilbeing preparedhere sovast thatitembraceseverything concerningtheabove-mentionedfourgreatmarksof theChurch."

ChallengeInCalendar,RubricsExaltChrist

Inmakingtheannouncement,PopeJohnexplained thepartialandpreliminary natureofthesechanges: "Afterlongandmature consideration,Wereached theopinionthatthemore basicprinciplesaffecting thegeneralliturgicalrestorationshouldbepresentedtothefathersatthe forthcoming ecumenical council,butthatthecorrectionoftherubricsofthe missalandbreviaryshould notbedelayedanylonger."

Themostsignificantfeatureofthecodificationis therenewedemphasisplacedonthetemporalcycleof theChurchcalendar,thatis, theSundaysoftheyearand thefeastsandseasons whichcelebratethechief mysteriesoftheChristian religion.

Superfrially,thismay appeartobeakindof down-gradingofthefeast daysofthesaints.In reality,itisanewreminderthatallfeastdays,includingthefeastsofthe saints,mustbecentredupon ChristHimself.

Thisreinforcementofthe chieffeastsandseasonsis evident,forexample,inthe newandhigherrankingof Sundaysas"firstclass" (AdventandLent)and "secondclass"(otherSundays).

EverySundayoftheyear isintendedtobeacelebrationoftheresurrection ofOurLordfromthedead andadayofbaptismalrenewal. Theseconcepts, plannedasoneoftheresultsofthe1955reformof theHolyWeekandEaster liutrgy,shouldnowbeenhancedbythetechnical classificationofSundaysin themissalandbreviary.

Asecondgoodinstanceof thesamethingisthestress laidonthequarterlyemberdaysbywhichthefour seasonsoftheyearareconsecratedtoGod.These periodshavereceivedspecialrecognitionas"weekdaysofsecondclass"secondonlyto.AshWednesdayandthedaysofHoly Week.

Withthesameemphasis, theHolySeein1955urged bishopstoconferHoly OrdersonemberSaturdays sothattheprayerandfastingofthepeoplemight accompanytheordination ofpriests,deacons,and otherclerics.

Awholeseriesofsmall butmeaningfulchangesaffectsthecelebrationof Mass.Somearesimplifications.

Onafewoccasionsinthe yearthepreparatoryprayersatthefootofthealtar willbeomitted.TheCreed willnotbesaidorsungat somanyMasses. The solemndismissalatMass

Thislatestfruitofth Churchcalendarandf HolinessPopeJohnX beenpublished. willordinarilybe"Ite,missy est"(Go,theMassisended),withthealternative phrase"BcnedicamusDomino"(LetusblesstheLord) reservedforMassesfollowed byprocessions.Thelast Gospelwillbeomittedat suchMasses,andalsoat funeralMassesbecauseof theriteofabsolutionwhy-h follows.

Theadditionalprayers orcollectsatMasswillbe morestrictlylimitedfrom nowon.Thosesometimes requiredbylocalbishops areseverelyrestricted. Theymaybeorderedfor "graveandpublicnecessityorcalamity,"butona temporarybasisratherthan permanentlyorindefinitely.

ToemphasisemoreimportantpartsoftheMass, thecelebrantofsungMass isdirectedtosaytheprayersatthefootofthealtar andthelastGospelsilently, notaloud.ForlowMasses,priestshavebeenremindedagain-aswas donebytheHolySeein 1958-torecitetherequiredtextsloudly,clearly, andslowly.Toincreasethe dignityoftheordinary parishhighMass,theincensingscustomaryat solemnMassmaynowbe addedatallsungMasses.

CommunionTime

Ofrealsignificancefor thepietyofthefaithfulis thestrongdisapprovalgiven totheabuseofdistributing HolyCommunionatodd andimpropermomentsduringMass: "ThepropertimefordistributingHolyCommunion tothefaithfulisduring Mass,aftertheCommunion ofthecelebratingpriest."

Thecelebranthimselfis togiveCommuniontothe people,althoughhemaybe assistedbyotherpriests. Sincethereisanabuseinvolved,theHolySeeadded:"ItisaltogetherunbecomingthatHolyCommunionbedistributedbyanotherpriestatthesame altarwhereMassisactually beingcelebrated,outsideof thepropertimeforCommunion."

Thisshouldhelpthelaity toreceiveHolyCommunion morefruitfully,withgreaterunderstandingthatCommunionisthesacrificial banquet.Itwillalsohelp thepeopletotakepartin thesolemnconcludingprayersoftheCanonandthe wholeCommunionritebeginningwiththeOurFather-allthingsurgedby aroltilansit~ BITUMENPAVING,ROADWAYS.DRIVEWAYS, LANDSCAPEGARDENING-BOWLINGGREENS,etc.

Thisbringsupafinal,inevitablequestion:WhatfurtherchangesintheOffice maybeexpected?

FortheMassthechanges inritesandtexts,thepossiblevariationoftheScripturelessons,andsoon,have beenthoroughlydiscussed byexperts,pastors,and bishops.Thepossibilities haverecentlybeensummed upbyFatherH.A.Rein-

THEloveforGodinVincent'sheartwasaconstant reflectionofhisworshipof God'sgoodness,ofHisloveablenessandHisexcellence; hishopewastherecognition oftheoverflowingbounty andgenerosityofourFather inHeaven;andhisfaithreveredGod'struthandwisdomandgoodness.Hispersonallifeandhisactivity wasbasedonthisbelief,and ashisofferingofalifeof worship,hesoughttoimitate,inwordsandworks, theSonofGod,Whowas thelivingexampleamong menofdivinevenerationfor theGodhead,andWhohad proclaimedtohisdetractors: "IhonourmyFather."

God'smajestyandgreatness incontrastwithhisown littleness.Hislifewasa logicaloutcomeofhisconvictionthatGodisGod.

Humanity ST.Vincent'sviewofmankindwasfirmlyfounded onthetruthsofGod.Man's givendestinyheknewtobe thatofachildofGod; formedtothedivineimage, hispurposewastogiveglory toGodinthislifeasa preludetoeternallife,in whichthisglorification wouldcontinue,andwould bringmanhishighesthappiness.

Everyman,therefore, everywoman,andevery child,havingthisgrand destinywasathoroughly nobleandextremelyvaluableperson.

True,theracehadfallen into'disgrace,andstillretainedmanymarksofevil, withaleaningtowardseasy sin;theageoftheperfect manhadpassedandhadnot yetreturned;buthumanity hadbeengloriouslyredeemedandrestoredsothat nowtherewasfullhopefor all,anditwasthishope whichcouldworkthelastingsalvationofeachperson.

St.Vincentwasnopessimist,andthestricturesof Jansenismgalledhim,for histime,histalents,his cares,andhisworkwereall directedtorealisingthe hopewhichwasinevery maninthisworld.Forall hiswideanduniversal vision,Vincentwasaman whodealtwithmenindividually,notwithmankind inthemass.

IfChristhadbecomeman inordertoprovidethe foundationforforgiveness andhope,Vincentwould givehisutmosttoverifyit inindividualsouls--tohelp eachonetobenefitbythe fullredemptionandtheproferredmeritsoftheSaviour, andsotoattainhiseternal salvationandhappiness.

Inworkingoutthisdesign, tooassoulsweresaved, God'sglorywouldbesimultaneouslypromoted.

THATiswhySt.Vincent wassototallydevotedto humanpersons.Hisintention wastocontinuetheredeeminginfluenceofChrist,to spreadabroadthesaving graceandpardonofRedemption.

Vincent'sparticularregard fortheProvidenceofGod, uponwhichhereliedso completelyandwhichhe fearedtooverstepinany degree,wasatributetothe superiorgovernmentand wisdomoftheAlmighty;it wasnothisplacetoforestall Providencenortoimprove Hisways.

Therefore,beingengaged inthesamecampaign,asa co-workerwithChrist,he triedtofollowHislifeand exampleinitsdetailswhateverwasrightforthe SonofGod,wouldberight forhim,inthemeasureof hisvocation.

Q.:DoestheChurchofEnglandbelieveincanonising saints?

R.SomeAnglicans-needlesstosaw,oftheHigh ChurchParty-wantthe ChurchofEnglandtobegin doingso.Buttheyaremeetingwithagooddealofopposition.Thetroubleisthat, intheBookofComm= Prayer,Article22,ofthe "Thirty-NineArticlesofReligion,"says:"TheRomish doctrineconcerning the invocationofsaintsisafond thingvainlyinvented...and repugnanttotheWordof God."Thedifficultyfor Anglicansisto.getround that.

Q.:Isthereanyofficialap-

However,preachingatOxfordonNovember6,1955, thepresentArchbishopof Canterburysaid:"People sometimessuggestthatwe oughttocanonisesaintsin theChurchof.England. PleaseGod,weshallnot.

TheArchbishop'sviews,of course,werededicatedbyhis basicallyProtestantinterpretationofChristianity;butat leastitwasinkeepingwith theTwenty-Secondofthe Thirty-NineArticlesofReligion,asincludedinthe AnglicanBookofCommon Prayer.

The"SydneyMorningHerald,"ofJuly23,1956,carried arevealingletterfromthe Rev.H.W.Guinness,alocal Anglicanclergyman."He wrote:"Sir,-Inoticeinyour paper(July17)thatamove isbeingmadeinEngland tocreateniintsintheAnglicanCommunion.Thiswill bereviewedbyEvangelical ChristainsthroughoutChristendomwithdismay.Especiallywillthisbetrueofloyal churchmen,whothankGod fortheReformationandthe consequentbreakfrommedievalpracticesintheChurch ofEngland."TheNorth QueenslandAnglicans,of course,wouldfirmlydeny thattheyaredisloyal churchmen.Ontheirproceedings,however,Iwill commentnextweek.
