Blessings for the Revised Roman Missal

Joe Paprocki Liturgy and Sacraments

In just a few short weeks, we will begin using the Third Edition of the Roman Missal. I do hope that you’ve taken advantage of the number of resources I’ve made available over these past few months! Here are a few more resources:

  • A 4-page blessing/prayer service outside Mass done by LTP based on the Book of Blessings: Blessing of Missal.   
  • A blessing from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is for use on the First Sunday of Advent and couples with the blessing of the Advent wreath: Roman Missal Blessing.
  • A “de-commissioning” of the sacramentary for use on the feast of Christ the King or the last day before the 1st Sunday of Advent: The Roman Missal decommissioning.

Dr. King: An Opportunity for Catechesis

Joe Paprocki Newsworthy

The effective catechist knows how to use just about any event as an opportunity for catechesis. Some Catholics feel that because Dr. King was not Catholic, it’s not proper to hold him up as a role model and to reflect on his life, his words, and his accomplishments. Nonsense. God works through all people and God’s grace worked through and continues to work through the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Resources […]

An Advent Examination of Conscience

Joe Paprocki Advent

Tonight, our 8th graders will be celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation in the church. Advent is indeed an appropriate time to celebrate this sacrament, making straight the path to the Lord. I found the following examination of conscience which is based on the scripture passage of the Visitation and the Magnificat (Luke 1:39-56) which makes it quite appropriate as an Advent examination of conscience.

  1. Interesting- never heard of decommissioning before.

    “The Sacramentary is then reserved in the sacristy, a parish library or museum, or disposed of in a dignified manner.”
