Per sfatare il mito secondo cui la Comunione ricevuta sulla mano riprenderebbe un uso antico

L’antica annotazione [di san Cirillo di Gerusalemme] testimonia credenze e atteggiamenti che, nel tempo, si sarebbero sviluppati nella prassi tradizionale della Comunione di lunga data sia dell’Occidente latino che dell’Oriente bizantino. In Occidente, la Comunione sulla lingua e in ginocchio è il naturale e pertinente risultato della devozione eucaristica di san Cirillo. Il tentativo di riportare l’orologio all’antichità – un’antichità, peraltro, ingannevolmente travisata e ricostruita fittiziamente – non è, alla fine, nient’altro se non un cavallo di Troia per la teologia sacramentale calvinista.

Debunking the myth that today’s Communion in the hand revives an ancient custom

The ancient record [by St. Cyril of Jerusalem] bears witness to beliefs and attitudes that would, over time, develop into the longstanding traditional Communion praxis of both the Latin West and the Byzantine East. In the West, Communion on the tongue, kneeling, is the natural and suitable result of St. Cyril’s Eucharistic piety. The attempt to turn back the clock to antiquity — an antiquity, moreover, deceptively misrepresented and fictitiously reconstructed — is, in the end, nothing but a Trojan horse for Calvinistic sacramental theology.

Liturgical Latin — Reconsidered

There is no loss of literal meaning when we say “Holy, holy, holy” in place of “Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus” , but the connotations of history, millennial traditions, and an ethos that constitutes a sacred semantic are all gone, as they must be from any vernacular translation. It takes ages for a language to accrue those symbolic attributes. The very modernity and normalcy of vernacular speech automatically excludes them.
(…)
More and more parishes are serving multiple linguistic communities, and the common practice of having a designated “Spanish Mass” or “Vietnamese Mass” doesn’t solve the problem here, because there will always be worshippers whose native language is not the vernacular of the moment. In effect, they are placed at the lowest table of the banquet. Latin has the peculiar properties of a dead language: besides owning a vocabulary of unchanging meaning, no one learns it as native speech anymore. When liturgical Latin is spoken, there are no natural superiors.

In octava Nativitatis Domini

Ant. ad introitum
Salve, sancta Parens, eníxa puérpera Regem,
qui cælum terrámque regit in sǽcula sæculórum.


Vel: Cf. Is 9, 2.6; Lc 1, 33

et vocábitur admirábilis, Deus, Princeps pacis,
Pater futúri sǽculi: cuius regni non erit finis.

Collecta
Deus, qui salútis ætérnæ,

per quam merúimus Fílium tuum auctórem vitæ suscípere.
Qui tecum.

Super oblata
Deus, qui bona cuncta ínchoas benígnus et pérficis,

Fílii tui Genetrícem et Ecclésiæ Matrem
profitéri gloriámur.
Per Christum.

Latin Grammar for the Reading of the Missal and Breviary

By Cora Carroll Scanlon, A.M., Charles L. Scanlon, A.M.

This Latin grammar is intended for students who are entering seminaries or religious novitiates without previous study of Latin, for sisters in communities that recite the breviary, and for the growing number of lay people who use the Roman missal and the Roman breviary. Its twenty lessons, divided into fifty units, cover all the grammatical essentials for the intelligent reading of these two books. The vocabulary comprises the 914 words that make up the Ordinary of the Mass and the three Requiem Masses with their additional Collects, since these are the words that a daily user of the missal will encounter most frequently. However, to make the work as valuable as possible for those who use the missal in its entirety, as well as for those who wish to undertake the daily reading of the breviary, the Latin-English vocabulary at the end of the book includes not only all the words of the Roman missal, but also the complete vocabulary of the Roman breviary.

Venérunt pastóres festinántes, et invenérunt Maríam

concéde propítius,
ut, domésticis virtútibus caritatísque vínculis illam sectántes,
in lætítia domus tuæ prǽmiis fruámur ætérnis.
Per Dóminum.

Dicitur Credo.

Super oblata
Hóstiam tibi placatiónis offérimus, Dómine,
supplíciter deprecántes,
ut, Deíparæ Vírginis beatíque Ioseph interveniénte suffrágio,
famílias nostras in tua grátia fírmiter et pace constítuas.
Per Christum.

Ant. ad communionem Bar 3, 38
Deus noster in terris visus est,
et cum homínibus conversátus est.

Post communionem
Quos cæléstibus réficis sacraméntis,
fac, clementíssime Pater,
sanctæ Famíliæ exémpla iúgiter imitári,
ut, post ærúmnas sǽculi,
eius consórtium consequámur ætérnum.
Per Christum.
