I have a sciatic condition and standing as I did for 99% of the proclamation was a good Lenten penance for me! At this moment of reverence, I came from my position at the side of the altar (see photo above) and leaned on the altar for a moment - taking the pressure of my back and leg for a sweet minute.Concord Pastorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18322127779647130869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-8673254203040527752012-04-03T11:40:29.211-04:002012-04-03T11:40:29.211-04:00At Christ Our Hope Catholic Church, a brand new pa...At Christ Our Hope Catholic Church, a brand new parish in downtown Seattle (we're still opening churches in the West Coast!), we used the version of LTP's old book the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The passion was divided into sections for 3 readers, based on the scene. A priest, a deacon and a lay women. Jesus's lines weren't reserved for the priest. <br />(PS. Father, 2 questions from your pictures:<br />1. Did the assembly not process in with palms?<br />2. Are you using the altar as a prop for the Passion account, holding your book? That doesn't seem like you!Chuck In Seattlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-3323175544844374602012-04-03T09:01:48.119-04:002012-04-03T09:01:48.119-04:00Chanted!That sounds so intriguing, would love to h...Chanted!That sounds so intriguing, would love to hear that.<br /><br />At St. Edward the Confessor we had 3 lectors at each mass, one narrator, Jesus and one voice for the other parts. I was privileged to be the lector for narration at 4pm on Saturday. I was at the 11am mass on Sunday and the lector who was the narrator was amazing... truly. They all were actually, but I'm grateful that I got to hear her. <br /><br />At all masses, a deacon, except at 4pm when there was no deacon, proclaimed the Gospel from the rear of the church.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848864171813782695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-56643574605821866722012-04-02T22:28:13.962-04:002012-04-02T22:28:13.962-04:00At St. Andrew in Columbus, Ohio the Passion was re...At St. Andrew in Columbus, Ohio the Passion was read by the Celebrant as Christ, our Deacon as the narrator and a lector filling in the other voices. At the beginning of the reading we were told to sit. We all knelt at the appropriate time and then stood for the remainder of the reading. That was a first for me, but kept us all from shifting from one foot to the other and enabled better concentration on the scripture. And yes, our statues are covered.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680832694058656155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-4548078879740045522012-04-02T21:49:29.840-04:002012-04-02T21:49:29.840-04:00Three lectors and the presiding priest proclaimed ...Three lectors and the presiding priest proclaimed the Passion in turn. At each change of readers the assembly responded with a sung chant. I've never heard it chanted, and would like to!<br /><br />I find the measured pace and being able to pay full attention to listening, without having to worry about following the text to know when to the assembly's part appears, to help me deeply engage with the text. Each time I hear it in this way I hear something different in the account, catch some nuance that I've not appreciated in quite that way before.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617476463347663364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-23195961369635262472012-04-02T20:30:46.647-04:002012-04-02T20:30:46.647-04:00I was fortunate to experience a beautiful, chanted...I was fortunate to experience a beautiful, chanted version of the Passion this year. It was the first time that I ever heard the Passion proclaimed in that way, and it was truly special!

They were vibrant and engaging (unusual words to describe the reading of the Passion, I know). It was the first of the many stories that make up the scriptures of Holy Week.Kate Bolandnoreply@blogger.com
