Cardinal Sarah: From the Silence of the Soul United with Christ, to the Silence of God in His Glory

Dear friends of the Association Pro Liturgia,
I am happy to deliver this message of encouragement and gratitude to you on the occasion of your General Assembly. With assurance of my prayers for the intentions that are dear to your hearts, I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude to your president, M. Denis Crouan, and to each of you for your determination to defend and promote the liturgy of the ordinary form of the Roman Rite in the Latin language, even despite obstacles that stand in your way in this undertaking. This defense must not be mounted with weapons of war, or with hatred and anger in your hearts, but to the contrary, “Let us put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.” May God bless your meritorious efforts and ever make them more fruitful!

Holy Ghost Church – Tiverton, Rhode Island

316 Judson Street
Tiverton, Rhode Island 02878

Ad Orientem

All Masses at Holy Ghost are offered “ad orientem” (toward the east). The priest is not, as many people misconstrue, offering Mass with his back toward the people. But he is, with the people, facing the living God. The sun rising in the east is symbolic of the Risen Christ, who will come back to us as He left. In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, “We go to Christ, who is coming to us.”

Altar Rail

Beginning on the First Sunday of Lent, we began using the Altar Rail for distribution of Holy Communion at all Masses. This allows those who choose to receive Holy Communion kneeling without the fear of tripping others and not being able to stand without help.

Why We Pray in Latin

The Church has over the centuries gathered up the best of her Latin prayers, and saved them in collections, treasuries of beauty and precision. Many of these prayers date back to the early Church, linking us to the faith of our ancestors. We pray them, not for nostalgia’s sake, but because our Faith is unchanging, and these pithy expressions of Faith have rarely been equaled in expressing our belief. The prayers in our English Masses come from these prayers — but something is invariably lost in translation.
In addition to the ancient prayers that we say each day are the ancient prayers that we sing each day. For the chant that we sing at Mass is not just song, it is prayer in song. Many of the chants were written in monasteries by monks, who put to music texts from Scripture that had first been the subject of their meditation. Their compositions are therefore the fruit of their prayer, and are themselves prayer.
The Church has for centuries been gathering these chants, and gleaning from them the very best. The result is a single book called the Graduale Romanum. To gather a collection of English chant as beautiful would likewise take centuries, by which time English will itself probably be a dead language! In an attempt at a shortcut, efforts are constantly being made to adapt the ancients melodies to English texts, often by experts in chant. They are valiant efforts, greatly appreciated, but seldom successful. The original texts were in Latin, so the music composed for them flows naturally with the rhythm of the Latin language. The melodies usually sound awkward and unnatural when placed over an English text.

Die Möglichkeit, den Gottesdienst auf Latein zu feiern

Das II. Vatikanum gestattete die Einführung der Volkssprache(Muttersprache) in den Gottesdienst der Kirche, dennoch wurde der Gebrauch der reichen lateinischen Sprache und Überlieferung bewahrt. Heute feiert man normalerweise die Messe in der jeweiligen Muttersprache des betreffenden Ortes.

Vor dem II. Vatikanum wurde die Messe in der römisch-katholischen Kirche stets auf Latein zelebriert. Seit dem Konzil von Trient 400 Jahre zuvor (1545-63) war die allgemeine Kirchensprache des Westens das Latein. Die Messe überall auf der ganzen Welt in einer einzigen Sprache zu feiern, hatte den Vorteil, dass es für die Gläubigen einfach war, überallhin zu verreisen und sich wirklich katholisch (abgeleitet vom lateinischen catholicusund dem griechischen katholikos, was auf Deutsch allgemein, universal bedeutet) zu fühlen. Doch man lernte nicht mehr überall in den Schulen Latein, wie es noch in früheren Zeiten der Fall war, sodass viele Leute überhaupt kein Latein mehr konnten. Dies war der Grund dafür, weshalb die Kirche die Muttersprache zuließ — um eine volle, bewusste und aktive Teilnahme der Gläubigen an allen Gebeten, Kirchenliedern und Antworten in der Messe überall auf der Welt zu fördern.

Noch immer ist Latein die offizielle Sprache der katholischen Kirche, sodass alle Schriften aus dem Vatikan, die in der Weltkirche Verwendung finden, auf Latein verfasst werden. So werden beispielsweise päpstliche Enzykliken, ökumenische Konzilsdekrete, Kirchengesetze und so weiter zunächst auf Latein geschrieben. Dadurch wird die lateinische Ausgabe zur Grundausgabe, auf der alle weiteren volkssprachlichen Übersetzungen beruhen müssen. Dies gilt für sämtliche offiziellen Dokumente, die die kirchliche Lehre, den Gottesdienst sowie das Kirchengesetz betreffen.

Die Kirche hatte niemals vor, das Latein völlig fallen zu lassen. Noch immer fordert sie den Gebrauch der lateinischen Sprache, um damit das katholische Erbe zu bewahren, so wie auch heute noch das Hebräische, das Griechische, das Altslawische sowie das Arabische in vielen Religionen verwendet wird.

Papst Benedikt XVI. hat die neue Messe Pauls VI. (die zuvor als Novus Ordo bezeichnet wurde) zur Ordentlichen Form des Römischen Ritus umbenannt. Dieser kann entweder vollständig auf Latein oder in der Landessprache zelebriert werden, oder hauptsächlich in der Landessprache mit den üblichen Teilen auf Latein.
