(N. C. W. C. NEWSSERVICE)
ST. LOUIS—The 25th annual
Liturgical Week throughout its
sessions provided a thrilling
fore taste of a regeneration of
the Church at prayer which
promises to draw, not push, the
whole Catholic people into their
full and understanding part in
joining Christ in giving praise
and thanks to God the Father.
The (Aug. 24-27 )meeting at
tracted a record 20,000 partici
pants. It sent them away a happy
army intent on spreading the
word about the unlimited poten
tial for a dynamic renewal
of the whole life of the Church
which is provided by the Ecum
enical Council’s Constitution
on the Liturgy.
RUNNING as a current
through the whole week was the
point that the ongoing rebirth,
by removing the veils which
have so long hidden the teach
ing power of the liturgy, will
make Christians sense acutely
the brotherhood of man and
make them fervent seekers for
charity and social justice.
In line with this, speaker
after speaker at the meeting
laid stress on the instruct
ional requirements of the lit
urgy constitution. They noted
that the constitution provides
for the thorough revision of lit
urgical books so that the rites
can be easily understood by the
people. But more than this, they
cited the constitution's strong
emphasis on promoting solid
and continuing instruction
so that priests, seminarians,
Religious and laity alike under
stand why "all the faithful
should be led to that full, con
scious, and active participation
in liturgical celebrations which
is demanded by the very nature
of the liturgy."
IN DOING This,, Liturgical
Week demonstrated effectively
that the best way of teaching
and learning is by doing. The
daily Masses proved even to
skeptics that drawing all the
people into full and active par
ticipation is not a dream. But

outside of the celebration of the
Mass, the week provided for
special insights into ways of
making the liturgy constitution
effective.
Demonstrations showed
priests a broad spectrum of
the possibilities opening up. And
•seminar sessions provided new
vistas concerning education in
the liturgy on all f e ' V els* 1
priests, Religious and laity.
There were also special ses
sions on the changes needed in
church architecture of the
future, and in the greater role
music is to have in complemen
ting public worship.
A VITAL concern for Chris
tian unity showed through all
the week's proceedings, and
clergy and lay people from
Orthodox, Anglican and Pro
testant communions not only
listened but contributed to many
of the discussion sessions.
The celebration of the Mass
on each of the four days of
the meeting followed the new
English usage adopted by the
American Bishops last April,
which is to come into general
use in the U. S. next Nov.
29. Whole congregations of as
many as 13,000 people joined
as one with the celebrant in
reciting or singing, in English,
the parts of the Mass they
share in common. The solemn
proclamation of the Word of
God was given in English, not
Latin, with the priest facing the
people.
THE BREAD and wine for the
Eucharistic meal were carried
to the celebrant in solemn Of-
fetory processions composed of
lay people. Priests had
been requested by Joseph Car
dinal Ritter of St. Louis, the
host bishop, to join in Com
munion in the main Mass of
the day rather than to offer
their Masses "privately."
With a 300-voice choir drawn
from throughout the nation and
led by C. Alexander Peloquin
of Providence, R. L, the place
of music in what the liturgy con
stitution calls the "necessary
and integral part" of Christian
worship was demonstrated in
wide variety.
THE SONGS and anthems us
ed were all in English. At the
one sung Mass, there were
new compositions for such pra
yers as the Kyrie and Gloria
using the new English texts
recently made public. Most of
the singing was for choir and
congregation alike, and a few
minutes’ rehearsal before each
Mass enable d the congregation
to give full voice.
At the end of one of the
Masses, an Illinois doctor, new
ly arrived at the meeting, said
he found the experience "elec
trifying," He said active parti
cipation at his parish tended to
be limited to the few. But if a
feeling of oneness could be so
vivid in such a vast hall as
Kiel Auditorium, he said, he
was convinced it is more easy
to achieve in the more intimate
setting of a parish church.
An Episcopalian woman, who
said she came to one of the
Masses only because she was
cajoled into it by her daugh
ter, said she was very grate
ful to have been there. She ap
predated the vitality and beauty
of the Mass, and said she felt
the use of English in the Catho
lic Eucharist would bring Eng
lish-speaking Christians closer
together.
Priests, Sisters, Brothers
and lay people alike voiced
their enthusiasm freely fol
lowing the Masses. The only
complaint heard was about hav
ing to stand up so long: As
there was no room to kneel,
the people stood throughout the
Communion. Despite the fact
that over 40 priests took
Communion to the people, it
required as much as 25 min
utes.
ARCHBISHOP Paul J. Hal-
linan of Atlanta, one of the two
American members of the post
council liturgy commission in
Rome, summed up the week's
purpose in the final address of
the meeting. He said the litur-

gy consitutuion enacted by the
ecumenical council is a real
victory for the whole.' liturgical
movement. But there is more
need for the movement now than
ever, he said, "for the same
reason that it is easier to win
a war than to win the peace
fo follow it."
Then he said:
"NOW that the time of patient
work has come, will the in
crease continue? I am convic-
ed it will. This mighty crowd
of men and women who have
come to know and love the ways
of worship of God is the great
blessing of the Church in the
United States.
"You will return to your
homes and your schools, your
parishes and diocese, not as
the saints come marching in,
but as the apostles gomarching
out. This is not the end of the
road, and the movement is more
necessary than ever before."

ARCHBISHOP HALUNAN:
Liturgical Hard Work Must
Follow ‘The Brave Deeds”
ST. LOUIS (RNS) — If the
liturgy is to be restored, it
must be done by "the whole
Church — bishops, priests and
leaders among the faithful,"
Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan,
Archbishop of Atlanta, Ga., told
the 25th annual National Lit
urgical Week here.
Archbishop Hallinan, who,
with Joseph Cardinal Ritter,
Archbishop of St. Louis, is a
member of the Second Vatican
Council’s Post-Conciliar Com
mission on the Liturgy— said
that "it will either be accom
plished by the gradual joining
in of all God’s people, the eag
er, the apathetic, the anxious,
the confident, the favorable and
the hostile, or it will not be
done rightly at all."
I NOTING' that there is some
resistance to the changes, he
said that this resistance was
not made up of "elderly ladies
in devotional tennis shoes nor
ecclesiastical generals and ad
mirals retired from clerical
reality," but of devout, dedi
cated Catholics "who love God
and serve their fellow men."
He said that zeal for the lit
urgy, tact, courtesy, kindness,
and persuasion— "all these are
the ways of charity"— are
needed to win them over.
"The law of love has not been
repealed by the new Constitu
tion," he said, "and it would
be a blasphemy to act as if it
had."
ARCHBISHOP Hallinan said
that contrary to some reports
that the liturgical movement
is no longer necessary, he felt
that it is more necessary
now than ever "For the same
reason that It is easier to win
a war than to win the peace that
follows it.
"What used to be uncharit
ably called the ‘way-out ideas’
of the ’far-out litnlks’ now are
matters of universal Church
law." he said.
"The liturgical movement
has called for brave deeds,"
he continued. "Now it calls for
hard work.
"Now that the time of patient
PRIEST SUGGESTS
work has come, I am convinced
the increase will continue. You
will return to your homes and
your schools, your parishes
and dioceses, not as the saints
come marching in, but as the
Apostles go marching out.
"This is not the end of the
road, the movement is more
necessary than ever before."
HE SAID that bishops will ex
ercise their new juridical pow
ers, and that priests will use
their new training and motiva
tion, and that the laity will
carry out its new role.
The Atlanta prelate warn
ed that the renewal now in pro
cess will not be "just a matter
of months."
"Eager Catholics," he said,
"will grow impatient, and less
eager ones will disapprove.
But development is a patient,
diligent working out of one doc
trine from many materials."
"Our immediate past," he
added, "is perhaps a token
of our immediate future— a
patient working-out, a slow,
painful, anxious taking up."
ARCHBISHOP Hallinan said
the writings of the two most
recent Popes emphasize two
words which are "alive with
Christian optimism, and re
flect Christian growth and de
velopment."
"With Pope John," he said,
"the challenging word was ’new*
He used it to introduce the en
cyclical Mater et Magistral
’new’ guidelines to judge the so
cial question; and at the Coun
cil; ’to add new strength and
power to her faith.’
FOR POPE Paul the key word
is now "responsible," he added.
"John had underlined the grave
need of change, and Paul under
scores our responsibility of us
ing every proper means for it.
"In his recent encyclical, re
sponsibility was the great
theme. It set the tone,
whether he was writing of the
Church’s meaning, her need
of renewal, her need of dialo
gue.

New Words Christ
Might Use Today
EAST LANSING, Mich. (NC)
—If Christ were preaching to
present-day Americans He
might urge them to cnre for
the hungry, the thirsty, the sick,
the imprisoned and the naked
in slightly different terms, said
a priest here.
Father Dennis J. Geaney,
O. S. A., suggested to delega
tes at the sixth national Cur-
sillo Conference at Michigan
State University that they look
upon Christ's exhortations in
these terms:
"I was hungry and you sup
ported the Alliance for Pro
gress.
"I was thirsty and you worked
to bring Peace Corps and Papal
Volunteers to teach irrigation
methods.
"I was sick and you wrote to
your congressman about Medi
care, and you perfected Salk
vaccine.
"I was in prison in the sla
very and shackels of my skin,
and you came to Mississippi to
visit me.
"I was naked, stripped of my
human dignity, my right to work,
to live decently, and you worked
for my freedom."
