He said at the Offertory there is a series of prayers said silent ly by the priest. These more properly pertain to the Canon, are out of order and probably will be eliminated, Father Mc Manus said. He also said he ex pects some changes will be made in the liturgy following the Lord's Prayer. Father McManus said there is difficulty in introducing "com mon song as pad of the Holy Mass." He observed that this dif

In a decree of the Congre gation of Rites dated March 27, 1965, the new rite of con celebration is permitted on five different occasion beginning with the Chrism Mass of Maundy Thursday, April 15th.
