SIMPLE QUESTIONS ON THE CELEBRATION OF THE HOLY MASS

Pope Benedict XVI during the celebration of the Solemn Pontifical Mass. Here he is seen celebrating the Holy Eucharist with the 7 Candelabra which symbolizes the 7 Sacraments and the 7 Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Catholic belief in Christ as the Light of the World.

Priests and Bishops around the Altar of Sacrifice and the Celebrant's Throne at the Center manifesting for us the Heavenly Liturgy similar to the one witnessed by St. John in Heaven. Below, shows Pope Benedict XVI sitting on the Throne as Vicar of Christ and standing before one of the 7 giant Candelabra.

Di ba Solemn/Pontifical High Mass tawag ngayun ay concelebration Mass bakit hindi na po gumagamit ng anim na kandila kundi dalawa lang po

SOLEMN PONTIFICAL MASS PA RIN AT PONTIFICAL HIGH MASS PARIN ANG TAWAG. ANG CONCELEBRATION AY KAPAG MARAMI ANG PARI NA NASA ISANG MISA. PINAGYAMAN LANG NG SIMBAHAN ANG MGA TAWAG SA MISA. ANG LANGUAGE NATIN AY UMUUNLAD SA PAG-INOG NG KASAYSAYAN. KAYA ANG MGA TERMS NA GINAGAMIT NATIN AY MAS DUMADAMI. KUMAKAPAL ANG ATING MGA DICTIONARY. SUBALIT HINDI NANGANGAHULUGANG TINAWAG NATING CONCELEBRATED MASS ANG MISANG MARAMI ANG PARI E TINATALIKDAN NA NATIN ANG SOLEMN PONTIFICAL MASS AT ANG PONTIFICAL HIGH MASS.

[bakit hindi na po gumagamit ng anim na kandila kundi dalawa lang po]

SINONG MAY SABI? GINAGAMIT PA RIN. SUBALIT SA MGA MALILIIT NA SIMBAHAN PINAYAGAN ANG KONTING KANDILA KASI HINDI NAMAN DOGMA O ABSOLUTE NA KAILANGAN ANG 6 NA KANDILA. ANG MISA AY MISA PA RIN KAHIT NA ISA LANG ANG KANDILA.

PAREHONG PWEDE AT TAMA. DEPENDE SA FORM NG LATIN RITE NA ISINASAGAWA.

KAPAG ANG MISA AY ORDINARY FORM OF THE LATIN RITE ANG UPUAN AY NASA LIKOD NG ALTAR AT KAPAG NAMAN EXTRAORDINARY FORM O IYONG TRIDENTINE LATIN MASS ANG UPUAN AY NASA GILID.

ANG ARRANGEMENT NG UPUAN NG CELEBRANT BISHOP IN NOVUS ORDO PONTIFICAL HIGH MASS IS PATTERENED AFTER THE BOOK OF REVELATION WHERE GOD'S THRONE WAS ON HIGH AND IT WAS SURROUNDED BY THE MINOR THRONES OR SEATS OF THE ELDERS OR PRESBYTERS:

Rev 4:2-4 Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne; and he that sat was to look upon like stone and a sardius: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look upon. And round about the throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thrones I saw four and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold.

THE GOLDEN ALTAR IS BEFORE THE THRONE JUST LIKE IN HEAVEN AND MANIFESTED IN OUR NOVUS ORDO MASS:

Rev 8:3 And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was BEFORE THE THRONE.

THE THRONE OF GOD IS AT THE CENTER OF OUR MOST HOLY MASS, IN NOVUS ORDO. HOWEVER IT IS OCCUPIED BY THE CELEBRANT BISHOP OR PRIEST WHO IS THE MINISTER OF GOD. AND THE SEATS OF THE CONCELEBRANTS SURROUNDS THE CENTRAL THRONE AND THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE WHERE THE LAMB OF GOD IS PRESENT:

Rev 5:6 And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.

ANG MGA MANANAMPALATAYA AY NASA HARAP NG 'THRONE OF GOD' AND OF THE 'LAMB' JUST LIKE THE SAINTS AND ANGELS IN HEAVEN:

Rev 7:9 After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing BEFORE THE THRONE AND BEFORE THE LAMB, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands...

THE WHITE ROBES MEANS THE BAPTIZED. IT IS THE WHITE ROBE OF BAPTISM.

THE MINISTERS AND THE ACOLYTES SURROUNDS THE THRONE AND THE EUCHARISTIC ALTAR JUST LIKE THE PRESBYTERS AND THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN:

Rev 7:11 And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and about the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

ALSO READ THIS:

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

IT SHOWS THE BIBLICAL FOUNDATION OF OUR CATHOLIC MASS WHEREIN THE BOOK OF THE GOSPEL IS PLACED ON THE TABLE DURING THE LITURGY OF THE WORD. THIS IS ALSO ROOTED IN CATHOLIC TRADITION DURING COUNCILS AND SYNODS WHEREIN THE BOOK OF THE GOSPEL IS BEING ENTHRONED ON THE ALTAR.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS LIVING THIS HEAVENLY LITURGY THROUGH HERE LITURGY HERE ON EARTH. THUS OUR MASS IS HEAVEN ON EARTH. THE CHURCH IS OUR SACRAMENT OF UNITY WITH GOD:

Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God

IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT IN NOVUS ORDO THAT THE THRONE IS ON HIGH AND AT THE CENTER BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT THE GRACES OF GOD FLOWS FROM HIS THRONE AND WE EXPRESSED IT IN THE LITURGY BY SHOWING THAT THE CHURCH, REPRESENTED BY THE MINISTER, IS THE SACRAMENT FROM WHICH ALL SACRAMENTAL GRACES FLOWS:

Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,

THEREFORE, DON'T BELIEVE THOSE WHO TRY TO PUT MALICE AGAINST THE NOVUS ORDO, CLAIMING THAT IT WAS PATTERNED AFTER THE PROTESTANT WORSHIP. THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH BECAUSE PROTESTANTS HATE THE NOVUS ORDO MASS TOGETHER WITH THE SEDEVACANTISTS AND THE ANTI POPES SUPPORTERS OF SSPX.

OUR NOVUS ORDO IS TAKEN FROM THE TRIDENTINE LATIN MASS. THE NON ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS WERE REMOVED. IT WAS SIMPLIFIED AND INCORPORATED INTO IT BIBLICAL CONCEPTS WHICH ARE ALSO PART OF THE SACRED TRADITION OF THE CHURCH.

THE NOVUS ORDO IS TRULY ROMAN CATHOLIC IN FACT AND IN ESSENCE.

DEPENDE YAN SA SIMBAHAN. NANDITO TAYO SA PILIPINAS. ANG MGA CHURHES DITO AY HINDI KASING GANDA NG NASA EUROPE KASI POOR TAYO. PERO PAG YUMAMAN TAYO PAGAGANDAHIN NATIN NG HUSTO ANG ATING MGA SIMBAHAN.

YUNG ANGLO-CATHOLIC MASS SA PINAKAMAGANDANG SIMBAHAN NG ENGLAND AY NO MATCH SA NOVUS ORDO NG ST. PETER BASILICA AT ST. JOHN LATERAN.

ANG NOVUS ORDO AY MAGANDA KUNG TALAGANG PAGAGANDAHIN. SUBALIT ONE OF THE POSITIVE FACTOR NG NOVUS ORDO PRACTICAL ITO SA MGA MAHIHIRAP NA TAO AT LUGAR. KASI SIMPLE AT WALANG GANONG BURLOLOY NA NAKAKA ESKANDALO SA MGA MAHIHIRAP. HINDI PWEDENG GAMITIN ANG MGA GINTONG VESTMENTS NG TLM O NG ANGLO CATHOLICS SA MGA BARRIO... INSULTO YON SA KAHIRAPAN NG MGA TAO.
