December 2007 Archives

Before the Mass began, the choir sang “The Prophecies: The Lord our Coming King” in Latin from the Roman Gradual, followed by “Ave Maria” by Victoria and then the Hymn, “Lo How a Rose.” Then I sang the “Kalenda,” the great announcement of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ from the center aisle flanked by acolytes carrying candles and incense. From there we proceed to the crèche. I chanted the blessing prayer from the Book of Blessings. Then the procession to the altar began accompanied by the Choir singing the Introit for Mass at Midnight.

Following the example set by Pope Benedict in November:

and then seeing the candlesticks available on the New Liturgical Movement Blog,

I undertook several days of bidding, and having been sucessful, we began at Midnight Mass a new tradition for the Solemn Masses at St. Edward
