                   THE ANGLICAN USE LITURGY IN THE
                        ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH

        In 1980, His Holiness Pope John Paul II granted a Pastoral
Provision for the establishment of parishes composed of former
Episcopalians which could use a modified liturgy from _The Book of
Common Prayer_. There are, at present, six parishes in the USA now using
the Anglican Use liturgy. (There are other groups now forming.
Canonically, any groups seeking permission to use the Anglican Use
liturgy must be composed of former Episcopalians. But once permission is
given any Catholic may participate.) These parishes are in the Roman
Rite of the Catholic Church, but permitted to have their own distinctive
liturgy and also permitted to follow their own customs at Mass.

        The following is taken from (with permission) from the _Order of
Mass_ booklet found in the pew at Our Lady of the Atonement Catholic
Church, the founding parish of the Anglican Use liturgy. Their address
is: 15415 Red Robin Road, San Antonio, TX 78255. [phone]. They
represent options available. This is not a complete listing of the
liturgy. These are taken from the _Book of Divine Worship_ (to be
published soon), approved by the Vatican's Sacred Congregation of Divine
Worship in 1987. This textfile will also contain differing options which
are permissable at various points in the Mass--the selection of which is
left to the celebrant.

        A word to explain some of the rubics and customs of the Anglican
Use liturgy. The lectionary used is the new lectionary followed in the
Roman Rite. During the liturgy of the Eucharist, the people kneel from
the time of the prayer over the gifts through Communion. (Communion is
by intinction, received kneeling and on the tongue.) The Tabernacle is
on the Retable at the back of the Altar. The celebrant faces the people
for the Great Thanksgiving ("Lift up your hearts..."), but the rest of
the liturgy is done in the classic style facing the Altar and Tabernacle
leading the people in their worship. (This is similar to the way the
Divine Liturgy is celebrated in Eastern Catholic churches--as in the
Byzantine and Melkite Rites of the Catholic Church.) Those in the
Anglican Use would not style this as "the priest with his back to the
people," but as "facing God."

        I have tried to clearly indicate responses by the people with a
"R." and to put all the rubics and instructions in capitals.

                        THE ORDER OF MASS
                           ACCORDING TO
                    THE BOOK OF DIVINE WORSHIP


A HYMN, PSALM, OR ANTHEM MAY BE SUNG.

THE PEOPLE STANDING, THE CELEBRANT MAY SAY,

Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

R. And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

IN PLACE OF THE ABOVE, FROM EASTER THROUGH PENTECOST,

Alleluia. Christ is Risen.

R. The Lord is ris'n indeed. Alleluia.

IN LENT AND ON OTHER PENITENTIAL OCCASIONS,

Bless the Lord who forgiveth all our sins.

R. His mercy endureth for ever.

THE CELEBRANT SAYS,

Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from
whom no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the
inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and
worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

THEN THE DECALOGUE MAY BE SAID, OR THE SUMMARY OF THE LAW.

God spake these words, and said: I am the LORD thy God, Thou shalt have
none other gods but me.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven images, nor the likeness of
anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the
water under the earth; thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship
them; for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, and visit the sins of the
fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them
that hate me, and show mercy unto thousands of them that love me and
keep my commandments.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Thou shalt not take the Name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD
will not hold him guiltless, that taketh His Name in vain.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath-day. Six days shalt thou labor,
and do all that thou hast to do; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of
the LORD thy God. In it thou shalt do no manner of work; thou, and thy
son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, thy
cattle, and the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the
LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested
the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the seventh day, and
hallowed it.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long in the land
which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Thou shalt do no murder.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Thou shalt not steal.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass,
nor any thing that is his.

R. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these thy laws in our hearts,
we beseech thee.

OR THE SUMMARY OF THE LAW,

Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith: Thou shalt love the LORD thy God
will all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This
is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it: Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all
the Law and the Prophets.

   have mercy upon us.
Thou that takest away the sins of the world,
   receive our prayer.

   God of God, Light of Light,
   very God of very God,

   being of one substance with the Father;
   by whom all things were made;
   who for us men and for our salvation
      came down from heaven,     (GENUFLECT)
   and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary,
      and was made man;          (STAND)
   and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
      he suffered and was buried;
   and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures,
   and ascended into heaven,
   and sitteth on the right hand of the Father;
   and he shall come again, with glory,
      to judge both the quick and the dead;
   whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life,
   who proceedeth from the Father and the Son;
   who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped
      and glorified;
   who spake by the Prophets.
   And I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church;
   I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins;
   and I look for the resurrection of the dead,
      and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Almighty and everliving God, who in thy holy Word hast taught us to make
prayers, and supplications, and to give thanks for all men: Receive
these our prayers which we offer unto thy divine Majesty, beseeching
thee to inspire continually the Universal Church with the spirit of

holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity and
godly love.

Give grace, O heavenly Father, to N. our Pope, N. our bishop and to all
bishops and other ministers, that they may, both by their life and
doctrine, set forth thy true and lively Word, and rightly and duly
administer thy holy Sacraments.

And to all thy people give thy heavenly grace, and especially to this

righteousness all the days of their life.

We beseech thee also so to rule the hearts of those who bear the
authority of government in this and every land, that they may be led to

                        THE PENITENTIAL RITE

THE CELEBRANT OR DEACON SAYS,

Ye who do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins, and are in love
and charity with your neighbors, and intend to lead a new life,
following the commandments of God, and walking from henceforth in his
holy ways: Draw near with faith, and make your humble confession to
Almighty God, devoutly kneeling.

ALL JOIN IN SAYING,

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things,
judge of all men: We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and
wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed,
by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine Majesty, provoking most
justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and
are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remebrance of them is
greivous unto us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus
Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever
hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and
glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE CELEBRANT SAYS,

May Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath

all our sins, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and bring us to
everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

FOLLOWING SENTENCES, FIRST SAYING,

Hear the Word of God to all who truly turn to him.

Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will
refresh you. [Matthew 11:28]
God so loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end
that all that believe in him should not perish but have everlasting
life. [John 3:16]
This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received, that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners. [1 Timothy 1:15]
If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the
righteous; and he is the perfect offering for our sins, and not for ours
only, but for the sins of the whole world. [1 John 2:1-2]

THE CELEBRANT SAYS,

The peace of the Lord be always with you.
R. And with thy spirit.

                    THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

DURING THE OFFERTORY A PSALM, HYMN OR ANTHEM MAY BE SUNG. THE CELEBRANT,
STANDING AT THE ALTAR, TAKES THE PATEN WITH THE BREAD AND, HOLDING IT
SLIGHTLY RAISED ABOVE THE ALTAR, SAYS QUIETLY,

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we

THE DEACON (OR THE PRIEST) POURS WINE AND A LITTLE WATER INTO THE
CHALICE, SAYING QUIETLY,

By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the

THEN THE CELEBRANT TAKES THE CHALICE AND, HOLDING IT SLIGHTLY RAISED
ABOVE THE ALTAR, SAYS QUIETLY,

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we
have this wine to offer, fruit of the vine and work of human hands. It
will become our spiritual drink.

IF THERE IS NO MUSIC, THE PEOPLE MAY RESPOND
R. Blessed be God for ever.

THE PRIEST BOWS AND SAYS QUIETLY,

Lord God, we ask you to receive us and be pleased with the sacrifice we
offer you with humble and contrite hearts.

HE MAY NOW INCENSE THE OFFERINGS AND THE ALTAR, AND AFTERWARDS THE
THURIFER MAY INCENSE THE PEOPLE. THE PRIEST, STANDING AT THE SIDE OF THE
ALTAR, WASHES HIS HANDS, SAYING QUIETLY,

Lord, wash away my iniquity; cleanse me from my sin.

STANDING AT THE CENTER OF THE ALTAR, HE FACES THE PEOPLE AND SAYS,

Pray, brethren, that our sacrifice may be acceptable to God, the
almighty Father.

R. May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and
glory of his name, for our good, and the good of all his Church.

Lift up your hearts.
R. We lift them up unto the Lord.
Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.
R. It is meet and right so to do.

THEN, FACING THE ALTAR, THE CELEBRANT CONTINUES,

It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all
times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, holy Father,
almighty, everlasting God.

HERE A PROPER PREFACE IS SUNG OR SAID ON ALL SUNDAYS, AND ON OTHER
OCCASIONS AS APPOINTED.

Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with the company of heaven, we
laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying,

HERE FOLLOWS THE SANCTUS AND BENEDICTUS.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Hosts:
Heaven and earth are full of thy glory.
Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High.
Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the Highest.

THE CELEBRANT CONTINUES,

Most merciful Father, we humbly pray thee, through Jesus Christ thy Son
our Lord, and we ask, that thou accept and + bless these gifts, these
presents, these holy and unspoiled sacrifices.

We offer them unto thee, first, for thy holy Catholic Church: that thou
vouchsafe to keep it in peace, to guard, unite, and govern it throughout
the whole world; together with thy servant N. our Pope, and N. our
Bishop, and all the faithful guardians of the Catholic and Apostolic
faith.

Remember, O Lord, thy servants and handmaids (N. and N.) and all who
here around us stand, whose faith is known unto thee and their
steadfastness manifest, on whose behalf we offer unto thee: or who
themselves offer unto thee this sacrifice of praise, for themselves, and
for all who are theirs: for the redemption of their souls, for the hope
of their salvation and safety: and who offer their prayers unto thee,
the eternal God, the living and true.

United in one communion, we venerate the memory, first, of the glorious
ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of our God and Lord Jesus Christ, of Joseph her
spouse; as also of thy blessed Apostles and Martyrs, Peter and Paul,
Andrew, (James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon
and Thaddaeus: Linus, Cletus, Clement, Xystys, Cornelius, Cyprian,
Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian) and of all thy
Saints; grant that by their merits and prayers we may in all things be
defended with the help of thy protection.

We beseech thee then, O Lord, graciously to accept this oblation from us
thy servants, and from thy whole family: order thou our days in thy
peace, and bid us to be delivered from eternal damnation, and to be
numbered in the fold of thine elect.

Vouchsafe, O God, we beseech thee, in all things to make this oblation
blessed, approved and accepted, a perfect and worthy offering: that it
may become for us the body and blood of thy dearly beloved Son, our Lord
Jesus Christ.

Who, the day before he suffered, took bread into his holy and venerable
hands, and with eyes lifted up to heaven unto thee, God, his almighty
Father, giving thanks to thee, he blessed, broke, and gave it to his
disciples, saying:

   "Take this, all of you, and eat it: This is my Body which will be
   given up for you."

Likewise, after supper, taking also this goodly chalice into his holy
and venerable hands, again giving thanks to thee, he blessed, and gave
it to his disciples saying:

   "Take this, all of you, and drink from it: This is the cup of my
   Blood, the Blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed
   for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory
   of me."

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

[ALL:] Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

THE CELEBRANT CONTINUES,

Wherefore, O Lord, we thy servants, and thy holy people also,
remembering the blessed passion of the same Christ thy Son our Lord, as
also his resurrection from the dead, and his glorious ascension into
heaven: do offer unto thine excellent majesty of thine own gifts and
bounty, the pure Victim, the Holy Victim, the immaculate Victim, the
holy Bread of eternal life, and the Chalice of everlasting salvation.

Vouchsafe to look upon them with a merciful and pleasant countenance:
and to accept them, even as thou didst vouchsafe to accept the gifts of
thy servant Abel the Righteous, and the sacrifice of our Patriarch
Abraham: and the holy sacrifice, the immaculate victim, which thy high
priest Melchisedech offered unto thee.

We humbly beseech thee, almighty God: command these offerings to be
brought by the hands of thy holy Angel to thine altar on high, in sight
of thy divine majesty: that all we who at this partaking of the altar
shall receive the most sacred Body and Blood of thy Son, + may be
fulfilled with all heavenly benediction and grace.

Remember also, O Lord, thy servants and handmaids (N. and N.), who have
gone before us sealed with the seal of faith, and who sleep the sleep of
peace. To them, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ, we beseech thee
to grant the abode of refreshing, of light, and of peace.

To us sinners also, thy servants, who hope in the multitude of thy
mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship with thy holy
Apostles and Martyrs: with John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, (Ignatius,
Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes,
Cecelia, Anastasia), and with all thy Saints: within whose fellowship we
beseech thee, admit us, not weighing our merit, but granting us
forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord;

Through whom, O Lord, thou dost ever create all these good things; dost
sanctify, quicken, bless, and bestow them upon us.

By whom, and with whom, and in whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all
honor and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end.

R. Amen.

THE CELEBRANT CONTINUES

And now, as our Savior Christ hath taught us, we are bold to say,

[ALL:] Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who tresspass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

THE CELEBRANT BREAKS THE SACRED HOST. A PERIOD OF SILENCE IS KEPT.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us.
O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world,
grant us thy peace.

THE FOLLOWING PRAYER IS SAID BY ALL.

We do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting
in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are
not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou
art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us
therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the Flesh of thy dear Son Jesus
Christ, and to drink his Blood, that we may evermore dwell in him, and
he in us.

SHOWING THE CHALICE AND HOST TO THE PEOPLE, THE CELEBRANT SAYS,

The Gifts of God for the People of God.

Behold the Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world.
R. Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof, but
speak the word only, and my soul shall be healed.

THE HOLY COMMUNION IS ADMINISTERED WITH THE WORDS,

The Body (and Blood) of our Lord Jesus Christ keep you in everlasting
life.
R. Amen.

DURING THE MINISTRATION OF COMMUNION, PSALMS, HYMNS, OR ANTHEMS MAY BE
SUNG.

AFTER COMMUNION, THE CELEBRANT SAYS,

Let us pray.

THE PEOPLE JOIN IN SAYING THIS PRAYER.

Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee for that thou
dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the
most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ: and
dost assure us thereby of thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we
are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the
blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs, through
hope, of thy everlasting kingdom. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly
Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that
holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us
to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the
Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

THE BISHOP WHEN PRESENT, OR THE PRIEST, GIVES THE BLESSING, FIRST
SAYING,

R. And with thy spirit.

The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and
minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our
Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always.
