complished by Father Mayhew,

Mr. Lou Erbs, General Chair

ship. Specific workshop indoc
trination has been under the
direction of Fathers Bourke,
Dillman, Foust, and Hoffman.
Following is a translation of
the text of Pope Paul Vi's motu
proprio Sacram Liturgiam, on
implementing the ecumenical
council’s liturgy constitution.
The many documents on lit
urgical questions that have been
published and are well known to
all demonstrate how it was the
ceaseless concern of our pre
decessors in the supreme pon
tificate, of ourselves, and of the
holy shepherds to preserve dili
gently, to cultivate and to renew
the sacred liturgy according to
need. Another proof of this soli
citude is given by the liturgical
constitution which the Second
Vatican Ecumenical Council has
approved by general consent and
which we in the solemn public
session of Dec. 4, 1963, order
ed to be promulgated.
This lively interest stems
from the fact that "in the earth
ly liturgy we take part in a fore
taste of that heavenly liturgy
which is celebrated in the holy
city of Jerusalem toward which
we journey as pilgrims, where
Christ is sitting at the right hand
of God, a minister of the holies
and of the true tabernacle. We
sing a hymn to the Lord's glory
with all the warriors of the
heavenly army. Venerating the
memory of the saints, we hope
for some part and fellowship
with them. We eagerly await the
Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ,
until He, our life, shall appear
and we too will appear with Him
in glory” (Article 8, liturgy
constitution).
FOR THIS reason the souls of
the faithful worship God, the
principle and model of all holi
ness, in such a way as to be, in
this earthly pilgrimage, “imi
tators of the heavenly zion”
(from hymn of Lauds of the
Feast of the Dedication of a
Church).
For these reasons it is aopa-
rent to all that it is our upper
most concern that all Chris
tians, and especially all priests,
should consecrate themselves
first of all to the study of the
already-mentioned constitution
and from now on, resolve to im
plement its individual prescrip
tions in good faith as soon as
they enter into force. And since
it is necessary by the very na
ture of things that liturgical
laws should take place Imme-
daitely, we earnestly exhort
shepherds of dioceses that with
the help of the sacred minis
ters, “dispensers of God’s
mysteries” (constitution, Ar
ticle 19), they should hasten to
act in order that the faithful
entrusted to their care may un
derstand, to the degree permit
ted by age, by the conditions
of their own life and by their
mental formation, the strength
and inner value of the liturgy
and at the same time partici
pate very devoutly, internally
and externally, in the rites of
the Church (constitution, Ar
ticle 19).
Meanwhile, it seems evident
that many prescriptions of the
constitution cannot be applied
in a short period of time, es
pecially since some rites must
first be revised and new litur
gical books prepared. In or
der that this work may be car
ried out with the necessary
wisdom and prudence, we are
establishing a special commis
sion whose principal task will
be to implement in the best
possible way the prescriptions
of the Constitution on Sacred
Liturgy itself.
HOWEVER since among the
norms of the constitution there
are some which can be made ef
fective now, we desire that they
enter immediately into force, so
that the souls of the faithful may
not be further deprived of the
fruits of the grace which are
hoped for from them.
Therefore, with our apostolic
authority and on our own initia
tive, we order and decree that
from the coming first Sunday
of Lent, that is from Feb. 16,
1964, the end of the interim
period established by law, the
following norms enter into
force;
I. We desire that the norms
before the Kntilers of Valieiin
contained in Articles 15, 16 and
17 concerning the teaching of the
liturgy in seminaries, in
schools of religious communi
ties and in theological faculties
immediately should be worked
into the programs in such a way
that beginning in the next school
year students may devote them
selves to such study in an or
derly and diligent way.
II. We also decree that, ac
cording to the norms of Arti
cles 45 and 45, there be es
tablished as soon as possible in
the various dioceses a commis
sion whose task is, under direc
tion of the: bishop, to foster
knowledge of the liturgy and ad
vance the liturgical apostolate.
It will also be opportune that
in certain cases, several dio
ceses should have a single com
mission.
Furthermore, in all dioceses
let two other commissions be
established: one for sacred
music and the other for sac
red art.
These three diocesan com
missions may also be merged
into one if necessary.
III. From the date establish
ed above, we desire that the
norms of Article 52 should en
ter into force, prescribing the
homily during holy Mass on Sun-
