I know he has never left us, it seems like we just saw him yesterday with all his vim, vigor, and vitality. No matter the age, he was always young at heart. Thanks JPII

The Vatican has released the Missal for the Holy Father's visit to the Holy Land. "Evening Prayer" at the Melkite Cathedral is on page 29 of the PDF:

http://www.vatican.va/news_services/liturgy/libretti/2009/MessaleTerraSanta.pdf

I noticed quite a few liberties were taken with the structure and content of this Vespers service (although I wonder if some of the awkwardness is due to poor English translations and the fact that I don't read Arabic smile ).

Thanks for that link

On a very quick look a few things have sort of jumped out at me smile

Normally at 'big' Papal Masses in Rome [ Easter etc ] a 'Greek' Deacon will also Chant the Gospel - does anyone know if it is happening here ? There is a hint of it at one place

Page 134 - Gethsemane

Quote
Diaconus:
Be attentive.

Those words are not usually said [ as far as I can remember ] at the start of the Gosple Reading - even when read by a Deacon - so is this an Eastern Deacon ?

There is also the Introduction to the Gospel in the Celebration in Bethlehem [page 171]
Quote
Episcopus syriacus:
Peace be with you.
C. And also with you.
c The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, message
of life according to Saint Luke who proclaims life and
redemption to the word. 2:1-14
C. Blessed is the one who came and is to come.Glory
to the Father, who sent him and may his mercy be
with us for ever.
D. In the time of our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus
Christ, the Word of life, born of the holy Virgin Mary,
these things happened.
C. We believe and confess.

There is also a hint of this at the Eucharistic Celebration in Nazareth - page 210
Quote
Diaconus:
Wisdom, let us stand to hear the Holy Gospel.

Any comments anyone ?

I think that I shall be better off remaining at home! That Vesperal pastiche is downright offensive.

OK - now that's two commenting unfavourably on the Vespers frown

Since I will openly confess that I can't really remember the last time I was at Vespers [ not ever served in Edinburgh to my knowledge frown frown ] and then it was in Greek and I was spectacularly 'lost ' language wise, would someone please explain how this version is at odds ?

Is this starting to approach the "I'll do it MY way " practice again ? frown
