truthfinder Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Well, back to Pentecost Mass itself, I love hearing the Sequence chanted as well as the Veni Creator, which always reminds me of ordinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Well, back to Pentecost Mass itself, I love hearing the Sequence chanted as well as the Veni Creator, which always reminds me of ordinations. If I remember correctly, that recitation of the Veni Creator Spiritus merits a plenary indulgence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, apparently Pentecost and Jan 1 for plenary (under usual conditions), partial on the other days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fides' Jack Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yesterday for Pentecost. Directly after having gone to a Novus Ordo. Very much incense. So Latin. 100% lost, 100% satisfied. There were of course things I didn't particularly like due to it being so different from the liturgy I am used to, but in all I very much enjoyed it. The Mass was very pompous (in a good way) due to the occasion, and even the altar boys had on white gloves for the Mass, which was pretty amesome. I also went to confession and had a Latin absolution, which was baller. I was very confused when the priest interrupted me as I started my confession, asking if I was married. It went something like this: Me: Bless me Father, for I have sinned, it was been five days since-- Priest: Are you married? Me: What? Priest: Are you married? Ordained? Single? Me: ...Uh... single, Father. I appreciated that he stayed in the confessional up until five minutes before Mass, which is a type of devotion to confession that you don't normally see in a typical Novus Ordo parish (At least in this area, anyway.) A priest had to walk up to the confessional and knock loudly on the door to get him out of there so Mass could begin on time, which of course it didn't, but I don't think anyone minded. I'm sure I'm the only one who doesn't know this already - was this your first time with the Extraordinary Form? It's an experience I miss a lot these days.

truthfinder Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I miss the Pentecost Octave. The EF calendar still has the octave, but it's not quite a "true" octave because of the ember days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The EF calendar still has the octave, but it's not quite a "true" octave because of the ember days. I stopped praying the EF calendar when I moved and instead follow the local OF ordo here. No octave, but Monday was a feast, today a memorial, and tomorrow a solemnity... #EmberDaysWhatEmberDays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the octave it kind of feels like "Oh the Holy Ghost has descended" and the next day "everything's back to normal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does indeed. Things make much more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
