Description
Summary:After the promulgation of the apostolic constitution Anglicanorum coetibus in 2009, there was significant interest and speculation regarding what would be the liturgical provision for Personal Ordinariates for Anglicans entering into full communion with the Catholic Church. While the new Ordinariates may always celebrate the sacred liturgy according to the Roman Rite, the Ordinariates are granted the faculty “to celebrate the Holy Eucharist and the other Sacraments, the Liturgy of the Hours and other liturgical celebrations according to the liturgical books proper to the Anglican tradition, which have been approved by the Holy See, so as to maintain the liturgical, spiritual and pastoral traditions of the Anglican Communion within the Catholic Church, as a precious gift nourishing the faith of the members of the Ordinariate and as a treasure to be shared.” The author offers an overview of Divine Worship: Occasional Services in order to highlight the richness of these texts and their conformity with Catholic faith and practice. In making these rites available for the spiritual nourishment and sanctification of her sons and daughters coming into full communion from Anglican backgrounds so, the Church has also given eloquent expression to a fundamental principle for the ecumenical movement: the unity of faith which is at the heart of the communion of the Church does not require a rigid uniformity of expression.
