Dressed in purple, red and black robes, half hidden beneath flowing capes,
more than 2,000 Council Fathers trudge back and forth across the ex
panses of St. Peter’s Square each council working day. At left, a group of
bishops climb the stairs leading to the Vatican Basilica as they head for a
general session in the huge church. At upper right, the Fathers, divided into
myriad groups, discuss the various questions covered at the previous session.
Lower right, their day’s work completed, they head for waiting buses parked
in the Square waiting to take them back to their respective quarters.

would go into the Mass at the
Communicantes prayer. He also
said this was the first change
in the Canon of the Roman
ritual since the reign (590-604)
of Pope Gregory the Great.
The 18th general meeting
closed when Bernard Cardinal
Alfrink, who presided at the
session, called for a standing
vote on cloture of discussion of
the last four chapters of the
liturgical constitution.
VATICAN CITY, NC - His
Holiness Pope John XXIII has
ordered that St. Joseph, foster
father of Jesus, be honored
in Masses according to the Ro
man Rite by having his name in
cluded in the body of the Canon.
The Pope’s decision was re
vealed (Nov. 13) at the 18th
general meeting of the Second
Vatican Council. Amleto Car
dinal Cicognani, president of the
council’s Secretariat for Ex
traordinary Affairs, who made
the announcement, said the
name of St. Joseph will first
be included in the canon of the
Mass of the feast of the Im
maculate Conception, De
cember 8.
The name of St. Joseph is to
be inserted following that of the
Blessed Virgin Mary in the
Communicantes, the third pray
er after the Sanctus, which
voices the fellowship of Christ
ians joining in offering the Eu
charistic Sacrifice today with
saints who have gone before
them. Thus St. Joseph’s name
will precede those of the apost
les and a dozen early martyrs
connected with the Church of
Rome.
Cardinal Cicognani said that
Pope John decided to give St.
Joseph the new honor to put it
on record that the Second
Vatican Council so honored its
patron.
It was not immediately clear
whether the addition of St. Jo
seph’s name to the Communi
cantes prayer was being order
ed for the Roman Rite alone or
whether other Latin Rites would
be affected. In the Roman Rite,
the saints named after the apos
tles begin with Linus, Cletus and
Clement, who were the imme
diate successors of St. Peter
as Bishops of Rome. The list
has remained substantially un
changed since the sixth century.
But in the Ambrosian Rite,
used in Milan, the names of
those saints and the ones follow
ing them are replaced by a local
list, beginning withSs. Hippoly-
tus and Vincent. The Roman
Rite is predominant throughout
the Western Church, however.
There is already a special
Preface to the Canon which
honors St. Joseph and which is
sung or read in festal and vo
tive Masses of St. Joseph.
The Pope’s action did not
come out of the blue. Over a year
ago, it was revealed that a pe
tition was being circulated in
Italy and abroad asking that St.
Joseph be given greater honor
at Masses. The petition was
said to have been signed by some

COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS
The Council shifted into a
higher gear at the beginning
of its 14th general meeting,
largely because of the green
light given council Fathers by
Pope John to close debate with
a vote.
It took the council two weeks
and a half to cover the first
two chapters and the introduc
tion of the project on the litur
gy. But after the approval given
for a cloture vote, they sped
through the final six chapters
of the project within a week.
Key proposals in the council’s
14th through 18th general meet
ings dealt with Extreme
Unction, possible changes in the
breviary and the importance of
liturgical art.
The 14th general session
urged that the name of the sa
crament of Extreme Unction be
changed to the Anointing of
the Sick because too many per
sons associate the present name
with the imminence of death.
Council Fathers said the peo
ple should be taught that the
sacrament is not one of fear, but
of comfort given for the heal
ing of the body as well as
for the purification of the soul.
The importance of the Divine
Office and breviary for the
spiritual life of priests was
stressed at the 15th and 16th
general meetings.
Although it was suggested
that some changes be made in
the breviary, the emphasis was
mostly on the Divine Office as
a most efficacious prayer and
a great source of spiritual
strength.
Among suggested changes in
the breviary were the language
used, the composition of its
parts, and the revision of cer
tain lessons pertaining to the
lives of the saints.
The 17th general meeting
dealt primarily with the litur
gical year. The council press
bulletin said there was much
attention given to "the need for
rewakening in the faithful re
spect for holy days of obliga
tion.’’ There were also sugges
tions that Advent and Lent be
restored to their original peni
tential character, and that the
liturgical rank of some saints’
days be reduced further in line
with this purpose.
The question of liturgical art
was among the main points
raised by speakers at the 18th
general session. It was suggest
ed that edicts dealing with
Church art be enforced to pre
vent or correct abuses in sa
cred art, both in the exposition
of new art and in the with
drawing of old art from vene
ration.
The council press bulletin on
this session said: "Contrary
to what is sometimes stated,
the splendor of artistic works
and the solemnity of worship
do not offend the poor and
humble, who understand full
well that one must offer the best
of nature and the most beautiful
products of art to God.”
At the close of the 18th ses
sion, Pope John implemented
a suggestion made at the 12th
general meeting: that the name
of St. Joseph be inserted into
the Canon of the Mass.
The Pope’s decision was an
nounced to the council Fathers
(Nov. 13) by Amleto Cardinal
Cicognani, Papal Secretary of
State.
Father Edward Heston,
C.S.C., a spokesman for the
American Bishops’press panel,
said the name of St. Joseph
