Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
During Ordinary Time we will highlight passages from the Sacramentary and other liturgical rubrics which are often overlooked or ignored.
Be prepared for some surprises!
"The concluding rites consist of
- a) Brief announcements, if they are necessary;
- b) The priest's greeting and blessing, which on certain days and occasions is enriched and expressed in the Prayer over the People or another more solemn formula;
- c) The dismissal of the people by the deacon or the priest, so that each may go out to do good works, praising and blessing God;
- d) The kissing of the altar by the priest and the deacon, followed by a profound bow to the altar by the priest, the deacon, and the other ministers." [GIRM #90]
What is of particular interest here is what's not in the rubrics.
There is absolutely no mention whatsoever of any Closing Song.
This has never been an official part of the Roman Rite.
It is added (almost universally) in the United States as a feature borrowed from Protestant worship.
Festive occasions, like the Solemnity of Christ the King, might be perfect opportunities to demonstrate the Latin rite as celebrated properly in Rome by using a brilliant organ toccata after the dismissal.
