The Solemnity of All Saints is right around the corner—and Father Ryan Rojo shows how this feast highlights the souls in heaven as a living liturgical link to the pilgrim Church on earth.
In this final article on how the three Jewish Temple altars prefigure the Catholic altar, Brant Pitre examines the Altar of Incense: where there’s liturgical smoke, there’s Catholic faith on fire.
Benedictine Father Eusebius Martis proposes that understanding sacramental mystery begins with an escape—not from something but to something—a true sense of liturgical wonder.
Following the example of Christ, the Church has always used bread and wine with water to celebrate the Lord’s Supper. The words of the Savior, by which He instituted this sacrament, are the form of this sacrament; for the priest speaking in the person of Christ effects this sacrament. From these authoritative yet broad strokes we can develop more precisely the matter and form of the Eucharist. Aaron Sanders continues his series on the matter and form of the sacraments.
In this episode we speak with Caroline Smyczek about here recent article titled, "A Familiar Conversation: How to Find a Home for Prayer in Marriage,"
The sign of the Sacrament of Confirmation has not, historically, been defined as precisely as that of Baptism. Consequently, theological manuals spoke with less agreement and, overall, less certainty concerning this second sacrament of initiation. Moreover, some points on which past authors strongly concurred have been overturned by modern teaching and praxis. While certain doubts remain, we can describe this matter and form more confidently today than in the past.
In this Adoremus Interview, we speak with Monsignor Robert Dempsey on his recent article titled, "The Canonical Form of Marriage: Pastoral Aid to the Marital Vocation."
One of the three altars in the Jewish Temple to prefigure the Catholic altar, the Golden Table, received bread and wine for sacrifice. Sound familiar? Brant Pitre explains it all.
Msgr. Robert J. Dempsey studies the sacrament of marriage’s canonical development—including why the Church’s public witness is necessary whenever bride and groom say, “I do.”
When two become one, so should their prayer life. Caroline Smyczek provides three important steps all Catholic newlyweds should take to place prayer at the heart of their marriage.
It depends on the sacrament, of course, but the short answer is everything—and Aaron Sanders goes to the heart of the matter (and form) in this first of a seven-part series on the sacraments.
In this Adoremus Interview, we speak with Andrew Chronister, who discusses his recent article titled, "Liturgy, Pelagianism, and Attentiveness to God's Grace."
On this episode of Adoremus Interviews, we speak with Fr. Daniel Eusterman about his recent article titled, "The Bedrock Council for the Liturgy: Nicaea at 1,700."
The Council of Nicaea, says Father Daniel Eusterman, not only defined Christ’s divinity but also brought foundational unity to the liturgy. Not bad for a council celebrating 1,700 years.
Fostering fruitful devotion to the Mass is in no way a DIY project! We need a specialist—and his name is God. So, writes Andrew Chronister, let’s get out of the way and let him do his job.
Visit any church, it’s right there hiding in plain sight: the altar of sacrifice. Brant Pitre traces the whys and wherefores of this centerpiece of the Catholic liturgy back to its Jewish roots.
On this episode we speak with Fr. Uwe Michael Lang on the completion of his six-part series on the Council of Trent. This final installment is titled, "Trent and its Liturgical Reform: Compared with Vatican II (Part VI)."
To read the previous articles, click here
The first article in this series raised the question whether the liturgical reform initiated by the Second Vatican Council could be likened to the liturgical reform that followed the Council of Trent. In the previous five entries, I have presented the historical events that led to Trent, the deliberations on liturgical and sacramental matters at the council itself, and the reform of the Roman Rite that was implemented by subsequent popes. We are now in a better position to compare the impact these two important ecclesial assemblies had on the liturgical life of the Catholic Church.
In this episode we speak with Fr. Aaron Williams about his recent article titled, "Plunged into Darkness: The Office of Tenebrae," You find this article and more at www.adoremus.org.
Within the days of the Easter Triduum, another series of celebrations lurk in the shadows commonly known as Tenebrae—and Father Aaron Williams brings it all to light.
The previous entry of this series discussed the Breviarium Romanum of 1568 and the Missale Romanum of 1570. These new editions were only the first steps towards an unprecedented standardization of the Latin liturgical tradition. In 1588, as part of his reform of the papal curia, Pope Sixtus V created the Sacred Congregation of Rites, which was to ensure the observance of liturgical norms and to give binding answers to questions arising in liturgical practice. For celebrations of bishops, Pope Clement VIII promulgated the Pontificale Romanum in 1596 and the Caeremoniale Episcoporum in 1600. In 1614, Pope Paul V issued the Rituale Romanum for sacraments and sacramentals that were not reserved to bishops.1 Unlike in the late medieval period, the printing of liturgical books at this time was now effectively controlled by ecclesiastical authorities, and this meant that a single set of liturgical books could be produced and distributed in a global Church.
In this episode of Adoremus Interviews, we speak with Fr. Herman Joseph Johanneck, O. Praem. about his recent article titled, "The Changing of the Guard and the Sacred Liturgy."
REad this article and more at www.Adoremus.org
In the previous entry of this series, I have offered an overview of the discussions on the sacred liturgy at the Council of Trent, especially during its third and last period from January 1562 to December 1563. There was a consensus among the council fathers that a revision of liturgical books was needed, but it was felt that the conciliar assembly would not be able to carry out this work. Hence, the task was entrusted to the pope and his curia.
On this episode we speak with Fr. Connor Danstrom about his recent article titled, "The Eucharistic Five-Step: What to Do During Your Eucharistic Holy Hour."
Father Connor Danstrom is a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago and currently serves on the faculty of Mundelein Seminary-University of St. Mary of the Lake, IL.
In the first installment of this series, I noted that, along with the standardization effected by the adoption of the Ordo Missae according to the Roman curia, the variety of liturgical uses for dioceses and religious orders continued in the later medieval period. Calls for greater liturgical unification were heard already before the Protestant Reformation. For instance, in 1513, two hermits of Camaldoli, Paolo Giustiniani and Pietro Quirini, made an appeal to Pope Leo X for Church reform, which included the plea for a unified celebration of the Mass and other rites.
Father Justin Kizewski provides a template for understanding the complex relationship between the Old Testament Temple and Mary as the Temple of the paschal Lamb who is Christ.
How much eternity can we fit into 3,600 seconds? Father Connor Danstrom can count on one hand a host of ways to make your next Holy Hour count during a visit before the Eucharist.
The powerful rituals that commemorate patriotic sacrifice at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, writes Norbertine Father Joseph Herman Johanneck, also provide vital insights into the sacrifice of the liturgy.
On this episode we speak with Jeremy Priest about the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults, a newly updated liturgical book.
On this episode, we speak with Br. Stanley Rother Wagner, OSB about his recent article titled, "On Porters and Doors: Toward a Missionizing Theology of Hospitality."

He holds a BA in history from Quincy University, Quincy, IL; an MA in liturgical studies from the Liturgical Institute at St. Mary of the Lake University, Mundelein, IL; an MA in theology from the Saint Meinrad Seminary & School of Theology; and an MA in American history from University of Louisville, KY.
