I have attended the Maronite Divine liturgy before and can't help but notice that it may have been influenced by the Novous Ordo? Please respectfully correct me if I'm wrong, this is not in any way an insult it is a very beautiful Liturgy and I do have great respect for our Maronite brothers and sisters.
Hello John, Thank you for bringing this up. I believe you are correct. The Catholic Church is a communion of churches. It is made up of churches from the Western Tradition and the Eastern Tradition. www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decree_19641121_orientalium-ecclesiarum_en.html stanneaz.org/about/we-believe
@@StAnneRomanCatholicParish Yes it is a Rite disticnt from the Latin Rite and it has it's own canonical laws much like the Byzantine Catholics and Melkite Catholics which are also Rites.
@@rraddena If Eastern Churches are only called Rites and not also called Churches, then why does Orientalium Ecclesiarum by Saint Pope Paul VI (in the first link above) reference them as "Eastern Churches," even from the first sentence? I'm more likely to believe a Saint and a Pope on this matter. Yes, it is true that Melkite Catholics, Byzantine Catholics, Roman Catholics, and others are distinct from each other, with separate canonical laws. Thankfully, each one is in communion with the bishops and the pope, and none of them are any better or more Catholic than the others.
Oops, I do need to correct myself in response to my comment to John. Churches in communion with Rome are called both Churches and Rites, according to that document above, from Saint Pope Paul VI.
@@StAnneRomanCatholicParish I never implied that they are NOT churches. They are indeed Churches with true Apostolic Succession and valid Sacraments (mysteries). They're particular liturgies or rirtuals differ from the Latin Rite but are Catholic nonetheless. Here is an excerpt from wikipedia:A rite is an established, ceremonial, usually religious, act. Rites in this sense fall into three major categories: rites of passage, generally changing an individual's social status, such as marriage, adoption, baptism, coming of age, graduation, or inauguration; communal rites, whether of worship, where a community comes together to worship, such as Jewish synagogue or Mass, or of another character, such as fertility rites and certain non-religious festivals; rites of personal devotion, where an individual worships, including prayer and pilgrimages such as the Muslim Hajj, pledges of allegiance, or promises to wed someone.
Thank you for posting this! Very beautiful Mass!
The music is so Heavenly I like it!
I can’t wait to attend a marionite mass!
Hello Fr Wissam from Janet at St Raymond's. This was so beautiful
Where are the entering dialogue « baitokh alloho .... » and the pre-anaphora’s entering « itlwot mdabhe d’alloho ... »?
Where are the processions and incensing?
Is the Maronite Divine Liturgy ever celebrated ad orientem and use an Icon screen as one would see other Eastern Churches?
