The Kiss of Judas (Giotto,
1306) THE LITURGY OF PALM SUNDAY – HOW IT
WAS, AND WILL BE AGAIN Most Catholics know
that something drastic happened to the normative Roman Catholic liturgy in
the decade following the Second Vatican Council of the early 1960s. But many
don’t know that it all started well before Vatican II. In 1955 the ancient
rites of Holy Week (from Palm Sunday through the Easter Vigil) were severely
pruned and simplified—much to their detriment, some say. But now the Vatican
has authorized the optional celebration of Holy Week services using the
pre-1955 ritual. Many older (circa 1945) Latin-English hand missals—e.g., the
highly regarded St. Andrew and Fr. Lasance daily
missals—are still in use, and a new 3rd edition of the St. Edmund
Campion Missal in preparation will include both the pre- and post-1955
services for Holy Week. Last year many
traditional Mass communities throughout the U.S. celebrated Holy Week with
these most ancient and long hallowed rites. Dr. Peter Kwasniewski wrote (HERE) of his
experience at an oratory of the traditional Institute of Christ the King
Sovereign Priest: “I knew that the Holy Week liturgies, rich with
symbolism and ceremonial, had been heavily altered by Pope Pius XII in the
early 1950s. . . . . As more and more resources became available, and I saw
more photos each year, and read of new places adopting the old old
form, my desire to participate in the authentic Roman liturgy of Holy Week
grew and grew. “What a difference it makes. While
I had read all about the pre-1955 Holy Week, never was it more deeply true
that no amount of reading can substitute for experience, for the encounter
with the reality. . . . . I had expected to be impressed; I was blown away. I had expected to
be bewildered; I was dazzled and
provoked. I had expected to see the Roman Rite in its pre-modern
richness; I saw a revelation of glory. “The Palm Sunday liturgy left me speechless with wonder at its
richness . . . . The Missa Sicca or ‘dry Mass’ at the
beginning, with an Epistle, Gradual, and Gospel, then a Preface leading into
the blessing of the palms — all of this, mind you, prior to the procession
with palms, the entrance after knocking at the doors, and the Mass of the
day, with the chanting of the Passion according to St. Matthew — was the most
perfect exemplification of the Catholic principle of sacramentality I have
ever seen. Here is the Preface: It is truly meet and just, right and
availing unto salvation, that we should always and in all places give thanks
unto Thee, O Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God, Who dost glory in the
assembly of Thy Saints. For Thy creatures serve Thee, because they
acknowledge Thee as their only Creator and God; and Thy whole creation praiseth Thee, and Thy Saints bless Thee. For with free
voice they confess that great Name of Thine only-begotten Son before the
kings and powers of this world. Around whom the Angels and Archangels, the
Thrones and Dominions stand; and with all the host of the heavenly army, sing
the hymn of Thy glory, saying without ceasing: Holy, holy, holy Lord God of
hosts …
The Blessing of Palms “The first prayer of
blessing after the Preface has an astonishing rhetorical kinship with
Eucharistic consecration: We beseech Thee, O holy Lord, almighty
Father, everlasting God, that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to bless and hallow this
creature of the olive tree, which Thou didst cause to shoot out of the
substance of the wood, and which the dove when returning to the ark brought
in its mouth: that whosoever shall receive it may find protection of soul
and body; and that it may be to us, O Lord, a saving remedy and a sacrament
of Thy grace. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth …
Knocking at the Door “There are no texts anywhere in the Roman tradition that
convey the idea of sanctified creation better than the ones in the old Palm
Sunday liturgy. The third prayer of blessing underlines the mystical
significance of what the ancient Hebrews did and what we are now doing: O God, who, by the wonderful order of
Thy disposition, hast been pleased to manifest the dispensation of our
salvation even from things insensible: grant, we beseech Thee, that the
devout hearts of Thy faithful may understand to their benefit what is
mystically signified by the fact that on this day the multitude, taught by a
heavenly illumination, went forth to meet their Redeemer, and strewed
branches of palms and olive at His feet. The
branches of palms, therefore, represent His triumphs over the prince of
death; and the branches of olive proclaim, in a manner, the coming of a
spiritual unction. For that pious multitude understood that these things were
then prefigured; that our Redeemer, compassionating human miseries, was about
to fight with the prince of death for the life of the whole world, and, by
dying, to triumph. For which cause they dutifully ministered such things
as signified in Him the triumphs of victory and the richness of mercy. And we
also, with full faith, retaining this as done and signified, humbly beseech
Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God, through the same Jesus
Christ our Lord, that in Him and through Him, whose members Thou hast been
pleased to make us, we may become victorious over the empire of death, and
may deserve to be partakers of His glorious Resurrection. Who liveth and reigneth… ITALIAN TRADITIONAL PRIEST SAYS … Stop whining about the cancellation
