LITed - LITURGY EDUCATION NEWS


​Saints and Feasts
​

Welcome to the June edition of LITed !

After the jubilant Easter celebrations, we now embark upon the liturgical season of Ordinary Time. It seems timely to draw attention to the liturgical calendar and the rich tradition of solemnities, feasts and memorials which are integrated into the life of the Church. While the focus of our liturgical celebrations must always remain fixed on Christ, the calendar provides opportunities to venerate Mary and the saints as models of discipleship.
We ask for the intercession of the saints and try to imitate their example of openness to the transformative power of God's grace.  
The three articles included in this issue explore the place of Mary and the Saints in the Catholic tradition and in the liturgical calendar, and remind us of the humanity of the saints in whom we can identify aspects of ourselves.

We invite you to attend a public lecture to be held in Brisbane on Wednesday evening, 26 June 2019. This lecture will be given by Professor Tom O'Loughlin from the University of Nottingham and will explore the question of "Who Celebrates the Liturgy?" 
Further details are available at https://liturgybrisbaneworkshops.weebly.com/tom-oloughlin.html
 
In other exciting news, the 4th national conference of the Australian Pastoral Musicians Network will be held in Melbourne this year from 1 – 3 October.
 Register by 30 June 2019 to take advantage of the special early bird discount rates!

​
Professor O’Loughlin, born in Dublin, is a priest of the diocese of Arundel and Brighton on England’s south coast.  He is a specialist in the early Church and the early medieval period, but his work is not dry Church history.  Rather he draws on the experience of Christian living and believing in the past to understand what is important for Christians today to make sense of their faith.  Liturgy and sacraments is a key focus of his work.
 
Tom sees one of his key tasks as communication – taking the fruit of academic research and communicating its insights to a wider public.  His visit to Brisbane will bring us the best of liturgical scholarship and make it accessible to everyone.  So, for example, one of his recent publications is an easy-to-read 100-page book The Rites and Wrongs of Liturgy: Why Good Liturgy Matters.  But he is also well-known for more serious works such as The Eucharist: Origins and Contemporary Understandings and Making the Most of the Lectionary: A User’s Guide.

WHO CELEBRATES THE LITURGY?

​​Tom O’Loughlin’s work in Brisbane will focus on this simple question.  
It will help explore the meaning of the Vatican II liturgical principle of full, conscious, active participation in the liturgy by the whole assembled people of God. 
What is the role of the priest in the liturgy? 
How should we celebrate Sunday Mass? 
​His presentations will help us rethink ministry and Christian life for the present age.
