Resources on Liturgy
To continue the work of understanding the liturgy ever more deeply, there are several articles available that parishes and institutions within the Diocese of Orange have permission to reproduce. These articles are available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese.
- New as of 9/15/03 - The Posture of the People at Mass
- Why does there seem to be so much emphasis on the ambo and chair? Why can't the priest just remain at the altar throughout a Mass?
- Should our parish have a Crucifix or a Cross?
- Why can't I dip the consecrated host into the consecrated wine myself?
- When should we bow and when should we genuflect at Mass?
- What is the Gesture of Reverence for Communion and how does it take place?
- Why should we have music at all masses?
- Why should the assembly participate in the Mass? Why come to Mass on time and why stay until the end of Mass?
- Are processions really necessary during Mass?
- What are the appropriate times for silence?
- Why aren't we processing the lectionary anymore? Why are we using a book of the Gospels instead?
