| Deacon & Penitential Rite | Deacon Larry | Saturday, January 8, 2005 |
Question: Perhaps a bit of clarification in your response that the prieat only says the penitential rite at Mass. True, he does say the introduction to the rite. The GIRM says for Form C, "the priest (or other suitable minister) makes the following invocations:" This would/should be prayed by the deacon and then the priest would then intone the absolution. Thanks for your qalways interesting forum. Deacon Larry |

| Question Answered by Mr. Jacob Slavek
Dear Rev. Mr. Lottier, Yes thank you for the clarification, another minister may do this part of the rite. Here's a link to the original question, for those who are interested: http://www.saint-mike.org/QA/LIT/ViewAnswer.asp?QID=113 Thank you, Mr. Slavek Footer Notes: (a) A Eucharistic Minister is clergy (Ordinary Ministers of Holy Communion). Laity are Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion and should never be called Eucharistic Ministers. (b) There is no such Mass called the Novus Ordo. The Current Mass is the Roman Missal of 2000, or the Oridinary Form of the Mass. The Tridentine Mass is the Roman Missal of 1962, or the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. Please refrain from using the term, Novus Ordo. Thanks. (c) The titles of Acolyte and Lector belong exclusively to the Installed Offices of Acolyte and Lector, who are men (only) appointed by the Bishop. These roles performed by others are Altar Servers and Readers, respectively. |
