Holy Cross Latin Course. Learning the Office Part XIII: Tackling the Latin! The first part of this series can be found here. I want to talk in this part about using Latin in the Office. Although the Diurnal provides an English translation of the Office, and that translation may have been used liturgically in some communities, it is really the Latin that is ecclesiastically approved for liturgical purposes. And there are lots of good reasons for saying it in Latin - not the least of which is, if you are saying a traditional Office, you probably want to say it in the language it has traditionally been said in! Learning to say the Office in Latin is not hard, and doesn't mean sacrificing understanding if you tackle it right.

I'll talk a little bit about getting the pronunciation right, or at least point to some resources to help on that. But I really want to focus here on actually understanding the Latin from the point of view of those who are not classical scholars!

August in Constantinople was a month of disease and pestilence and so it was the custom to carry the True Cross in procession through all the quarters of the City during the first two weeks of the month.

The office for the first of the month still commemorates this practice, as does the solemn blessing of Holy Water, which is performed in many churches on that day, although it is the normal Orthodox custom to do so on the first of every month. In Greek use it is the custom to sing the Office of Supplication to the Mother of God each evening during the first fortnight of August.

This may well be a survival of the ancient practice in an adapted form. In present practice the two Canons, the Great and the Little, are sung on alternate evenings, but since the Typikon of the Great Church does not prescribe the office for the 1st, in many places the Little Canon is sung on the 2nd and the Great on the 3rd and so forth. Icon of the Holy Mother of God Gorgoÿpikoos Reader: Amen. Psalm 142 Tone 4. The Book of Common Prayer: Its Origin and Growth, by JH Benton. WHEN the supremacy of the Roman See in matters of faith was destroyed in England, and the supremacy of the King established in such matters, it became necessary that articles of Christian belief should be promulgated by the head of the English Church. Such articles were drawn up and adopted by the Convocation in July, 1536. They were then established by royal proclamation as "Articles devised to stablish Christian quietness and unity among us and to avoid contentious opinions.

" They were entitled "The Articles of our Faith," and being ten in number were commonly known as the "Ten Articles. " These were followed by royal injunctions promulgated by the King without action by the Convocation, requiring the bishops and the clergy to teach the doctrines of the articles to the people, and also to cause them to learn the Creed, the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments in English. It became evident that a revision of the Book of Common Prayer was necessary for the peace of the realm. The Ordo Calendar on www.CommonPrayer.org. A New History of the Book of Common Prayer.

The Liturgical Year by Dom Guéranger - Advent. During Advent, the Christian, on awaking in the morning, will unite himself with the Church, who, in her Office of Matins, says to us these solemn words, which choirs of religious, men and women, throughout the universe, have been chanting during the deep silence of the night: He will profoundly adore this great King, whose coming is so near at hand: and with this idea deeply impressed upon his mind, he will perform the first acts of religion, both interior and exterior, wherewith he begins the day. The time for morning Prayer being come, he may use the following method, which is formed upon the very prayers of the Church:- First, praise and adoration of the most holy Trinity:- Then, praise to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ:- Thirdly, invocation of the Holy Ghost:- Then address the angelical salutation to Mary, who is, in these days which precede the Nativity, so truly full of grace, since she has in her chaste womb Him who is the author of all grace.
