ACP Meeting postponed
The ACP Leadership / Advisory Group meeting planned for Tuesday 30 April has been postponed to a later date.
Brian Fahy in looking back at years that have passed points to an important lesson. “‘Forgive and forget’ will not do. ‘Remember and forgive’ seems to be a far better way to healthy living today.”
Mary O. Vallely reflects on her reecent experience of a christening in Scotland, where she was saddened by the lack of real welcome for the newly baptised babies and their parents. She appeals to priests to make real, warm, loving connections with their congregations, adding that a smile — or a nod of warmth, a handshake with eye-to-eye contact, a pat on the back or a hug — are all marks of Christ.
The issues with the ‘new’ Missal are ongoing for us in the ACP. Difficulties continue to be experienced by so many people with the “new translation” of the Roman Missal. The ACP has decided to highlight the fact that there was, and is, a ready alternative available.
The ACP is making available the prayers for the Advent and Christmas seasons along with the Order of the Mass from the 1998 Missal in a printed format. The opening prayer, prayer over gifts, prefaces and prayer after communion are also available at the weekly ‘Liturgy Preparation’ page on our site.
An audio recording of the presentations made at the AGM on 10 October 2018 is now available from Eist. It is available on a 2 CD set or by email….
Nathan Chase has posted an article in praytellblog.com commenting on a recent circular letter, dealing with the “sign of peace” at Mass, from The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments.
In light of the many crises facing the church would it be fair to apply the old cliche about deck chairs being moved on the Titanic to this circular letter?
