Catholic Order Rites - Rites in The Strict Sense

Rites in The Strict Sense

  1. Benedictine Rite is the oldest of these rites, but it is not used to the celebration of Mass, but only to that of the Liturgy of the Hours.
  2. Cistercian Rite is used by a reformed branch of the Benedictines for Mass as well.
  3. Carthusian Rite is still in use.
  4. Carmelite Rite is only used by the Monks of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel in Wyoming and the Brazilian Hermits of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel.
  5. Dominican Rite is rarely used today. It is used regularly at Holy Cross Priory, Leicester, England.
  6. Premonstratensian Rite is used by the community of St. Philip's Priory, Chelmsford

Two mendicant orders (Carmelites and Dominicans) kept their own rites until the second half of the 20th century. Other religious orders had and still have their own customs and privileges, and their own calendar of liturgical feasts, as does every nation and indeed every diocese. Among the Benedictines, this holds also for each congregation (i.e. branch) of the order. But the rite that they use for Mass is the Roman Rite, not a liturgical rite of their own.

Famous quotes containing the words strict sense, rites, strict and/or sense:

    “We know what boredom is: it is a dull
    Impatience or a fierce velleity,
    A champing wish, stalled by our lassitude,
    To make or do. In the strict sense, of course,
    We invent nothing, merely bearing witness
    To what each morning brings again to light:”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “If I be left behind,
    A moth of peace, and he go to the war,
    The rites for which I love him are bereft me,
    And I a heavy interim shall support
    By his dear absence. Let me go with him.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I have always endeavored to acquire strict business habits; they are indispensable to every man. If your trade is with the Celestial Empire, then some small counting house on the coast, in some Salem harbor, will be fixture enough.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “There is no sense to a sacrifice after you come to feel that it is a sacrifice.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
