Dialogue Mass - Forms of Dialogue Mass

Forms of Dialogue Mass

A minimum form of Dialogue Mass was, as indicated in the November 1922 document referred to above, for the people to join with the servers in reciting the responses in the Ordinary of the Mass that fell to the servers.

In addition, the people could be allowed to recite those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass that are sung by all at a Missa Cantata: Gloria, Creed, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei.

They were also allowed to recite with the priest the triple "Domine non sum dignus" that he said as part of the rite of Communion of the faithful.

Rarely, the people also recited the Introit, Offertory and Communion Antiphons, which were sung by the choir at Solemn or High Mass.

The form, if any, to be used in a particular diocese was left to the discretion of the bishop.

Famous quotes containing the words forms of, forms, dialogue and/or mass:

    All ... forms of consensus about “great” books and “perennial” problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of “what is already known.” Those great books don’t only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.
    Mary Field Belenky (20th century)

    The mass never comes up to the standard of its best member, but on the contrary degrades itself to a level with the lowest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
