Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
During Ordinary Time in Year B we will highlight passages from the new General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM) that pertain to music during the liturgy.
The GIRM contains rubrics and instructions (some of them new) for the celebration of the Mass.
The first section below is a direct quote from the English translation of the document.
The second section is a commentary on the passage.
Choice of the Mass and its Parts (GIRM #366-367)
It is not permistted to substitute for the chants found in the Order of Mass, e.g. at the Agnus Dei.
The norms laid down in their proper places are to be observed for the choice of chants between the readings and the opening song, the song for the preparation of the gifts, and the communion song.
Commentary:
Lest it go unheeded, the GIRM states once again, and very clearly, that composers may not make up paraphrases of liturgical texts.
How vain we are to think we can improve on the collective wisdom of the Church!
The current texts may not be our idea of "poetic" or even "correct" translations, yet it is not our prerogative to "fix" them.
If changes are in the best interest of the liturgy, the Church will be led that way and adaptations will be made.
Many have already.
In the meantime... holy patience, please!
