The celebration of the eucharist is the center of the entire Christian life, both for the universal Church and for the local congregations of the Church. Relationship Between Eucharistic Worship Outside Mass And The Eucharistic Celebrationġ. "Holy Communion And Worship Of The Eucharist Outside Mass", General Introduction, Chapter 1 and Chapter 3, Introductions, June 21, 1973: Vatican Polyglot Press, 1973, Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship. They may be used at once in Latin they may be used in the vernacular from the day set by the conferences of bishops for their territory, after the conferences have prepared a vernacular version and have obtained the confirmation of the Holy See.Īnything to the contrary notwithstanding.ġ Sacred Congregation of Rites, Instr. They are to replace the rites that appear in the Roman Ritual at the present time.
These rites, approved by Pope Paul VI, are now published in this edition, which is declared to be the editio typica. The Instruction Eucharisticum Mysterium, published, has set out the norms "on the practical arrangement of the worship of this sacrament even after Mass and on its correlation with the proper arrangement of the Mass in conformity with the directives of Vatican Council II and other pertinent documents of the Apostolic See." Now the Congregation for Divine Worship has revised the rites that bear the title Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharist outside Mass. The rite of Mass has already been revised. This cult of adoration is based on valid and solid principles furthermore, the Church itself has instituted public and communal forms of this worship. In turn, eucharistic reservation, which became customary in order to permit the reception of communion, led to the practice of adoring this sacrament and offering to it the worship of latria that is due to God. The principal reason for reserving the sacrament after Mass is to unite, through sacramental communion, the faithful unable to participate in the Mass, especially the sick and the aged, with Christ and the offering of his sacrifice. The celebration of the eucharist in the sacrifice of the Mass is the true origin and purpose of the worship shown to the eucharist outside Mass. The Church continues to receive this gift with faith and love. The sacrament of the eucharist was entrusted by Christ to his Bride the Church, as spiritual nourishment and as a pledge of eternal life. Some religious monasteries and convents with special permission have the Sacred Host perpetually exposed for special honor and devotion with someone in attendance night and day.(Promulgating the editio typica of rites for holy communion and worship of the eucharist outside Mass, 21 June 1973.) The ceremony was introduced in the fourteenth century under the influence of the newly established feast of Corpus Christi. Definite days for public adoration of the Blessed Sacrament are no longer specified for the universal Church now any days may be chosen for good reasons and for regular exposition permissions are granted by the local ordinary. Public exposition of the Blessed Sacrament requires a period of adoration, in private or public with prescribed hymns and prayers, as well as the blessing with the monstrance.
Any good cause is reason for private adoration.
In private expositions the tabernacle door is opened and the ciborium containing consecrated Hosts is brought forward. In public exposition the Sacred Host is placed in the lunette of the monstrance and elevated so that all adorers can see it. The ceremony in which a priest or deacon removes the Sacred Host from the tabernacle and places it on the altar for adoration. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary, © Eternal Life.
