“The Roman Canon:
Pillar and Ground of the Roman Rite”
From the text (here) of a much noted lecture by Dr.
Peter Kwasniewski “Of all the prayers with which the Roman Catholic
Church offers the sacrifice of praise to Almighty God, the one that stands
out the most as a touchstone of divine faith, a foundation of immovable rock,
a treasure of ages, is the Roman Canon—the unique anaphora or Eucharistic
prayer that the Catholic Church prayed in all Western rites and uses, from
the misty centuries before the time of Pope St. Gregory the Great (d. 604)
until the fateful end of the 1960s. Fr. Guy Nicholls writes of this
remarkable Canon:
There are
very few human phenomena or institutions with a history stretching back
something approaching two thousand years, that have not changed constantly, or at least frequently during most
of that time. The Catholic Church, viewed within the dimension of history, is
such an institution. She has changed in many ways, and frequently throughout
the long course of her life. But within the human life of the Church is a
divine heart. It is this heart which does not change, and the human aspect
wishes to make that changelessness its own. . . . Therefore, in the natural
order of things, one would expect to find at the most sacred centre of the most holy meeting-place between Almighty
God and redeemed man, a still point in a moving world. The Roman
Canon of the Mass has exercised this symbolic role of stillness for virtually
fifteen hundred years.
|
From a review (here):
“Having been blessed with the opportunity to
read this book twice and really absorb its content, I can confidently say
that there is nothing comparable to it in the English language, in its
comprehensive scope, depth of research, and insight into every aspect of
the liturgy. It is a compelling apologia for the old rite at every
level and on every head. The author’s judgments are judicious, polished, sober,
and clear; there is not a touch of exaggeration or unfairness. The result
is both triumphant and devastating.”

Concéde, quǽsumus,

tuum, Redemptórem
nostrum, ad cœlos ascendísse
crédimus; ipsi quoque mente in cœléstibus habitémus. |

Súscipe, Dómine,
múnera, quæ pro Fílii tui gloriósa
Ascensióne deférimus:
et concéde propítius; ut a præséntibus perículis liberémur, et ad vitam per veniámus ætérnam. |
Receive, O Lord, the offerings we make
in memory of the glorious ascension of thy Son : and mercifully grant that we may be
delivered from present dangers, and arrive at everlasting life. |
Preface
of the Ascension
|
Vere dignum
et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per Christum, Dóminum
nostrum. Qui post resurrectiónem suam ómnibus discípulis suis maniféstus appáruit et, ipsis cernéntibus, est elevátus in coelum, ut nos divinitátis suæ tribúeret esse partícipes. Et ídeo cum Angelis et Archángelis
. . . . . |
It
is truly meet and just, right and salutary, that we should always, and in
all places, give thanks to thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God
through Christ our Lord. Who after his resurrection appeared and showed
himself to all his disciples, and, while they beheld him, was lifted up
into heaven, so that he might make us partakers of his Godhead. And therefore with the Angels and
Archangels . . . |

most merciful God, that we may obtain the invisible effect of the visible
mysteries we have received. |
