phatcatholic Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 [quote name='qfnol31' date='Oct 7 2004, 12:28 AM'] Interestingly enough, that same document bans holding hands during the Pater Noster. [/quote] it [i][b]bans[/b][/i] it? where in the document does it do that?
cmotherofpirl Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 There is no current document banning holding hands.
qfnol31 Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Well, maybe it was more that it says we shouldn't do it because of the fact that it causes a false sense of unity. It's been a while since I've seen anything on it.
phatcatholic Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 i was under the impression that the USCCB prefers the orans position, but holding hands is acceptable
qfnol31 Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Yeah...it's true...Although, they used to say on their site that they recommended against holding hands.
kateri05 Posted October 18, 2004 Author Posted October 18, 2004 well, yup, the issue has been decided. my pastor sent me this email: About Liturgy. I will make ALL decisions concerning any changes that Life Teen may experience at the Sunday evening mass. I am allowing skits, announcements and even on occasion, an acted-out gospel when appropriate. We have cultivated this mass for years and it is doing well for the kids. I do not want to change anything that does not need to be changed. This determination is made by our Archbishop, then to me as his pastor of this community. So we CAN have acted out announcements after the prayer after communion…we may also invite the teens (and others) around the altar for the Eucharistic Prayer as mentioned in Cardinal Mahony’s letter to me giving me delegation to make that decision. We can ask our talented choir to perhaps write a new song incorporating their dismissal “the mass never ends…” as the Cardinal suggests. so, I feel called to humbly submit even if I don't agree. Please pray for me and my parish. thanks everyone for your help and support. i love you guys
phatcatholic Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 (edited) man, that's a little disheartening. your parish definitely needs prayers. i'm proud of you tho. you did the best you could to stand up for the Sacrifice of the Mass Edited October 18, 2004 by phatcatholic
