The altar in readiness.
I was intrigued by the post on Catholic Extension about the Fr Peter learning material. For a bit of fun I have downloaded the links and am giving them to the altar boys to do a bit of homework. In fact, they are a remarkably useful and entertaining bit of learning.
Dominus vobiscum.
(And, Yes, I know he shouldn't be wearing his biretta at this point.)
Devotions in readiness.
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
Actually, the accompanying notes and instructions are excellent : "Fr Peter's altar is in strict agreement with all the rules of the church." Oh, if only it were always so - for altars, synods and everything else.
Green cope for benediction? Clearly followed vespers, then
ReplyDeleteI think in a different post that as a boy in primary school (no - Queen Victoria was NOT on the throne) we had a priest figure - a little like Action Man - complete with all of his vestments (a white cope for Benediction) & an altar with a Big 6, altar linens, sacred vessels et al. Even the girls learned how to set up the altar although I don't recall any taking the veil. What a wonderful way to teach children now the rights & wrongs
