Homily for the Feast of Christ the King (B)
Kings and queens today, especially in the Western World, are by and large, figure heads devoid of any real power.  However, way back in history, things were quite different – many were despots who ruled through fear.  But they couldn’t have done so without willing ...

Singing at Mass (St Vincent's)
The true test of successful congregational singing is not getting people to sing but whether they want to sing.  Those in charge of liturgical singing have to find a way to achieve this goal.  We Catholics don’t have a strong tradition of congregational singing.  In Ireland ...

Prayerful pauses in the Mass (St Vincent's)
As I said already, please allow the people to sit down and get settled before you begin the reading. Don't rush.
 
On ringing the bell at the beginning of Mass organists should wait until all the people are standing before they begin the music. The bell is the signal for the people to stand, not for the music to start.
 
People should at least look at the congregation after they say: 'A reading from the letter of St Paul etc…..' They should also look at the congregation when they say in a slow distinctive voice: 'This is the Word of the Lord'. Maintaining eye contact throughout the reading is also highly recommended. Practice makes perfect.
 
According to new regulations there should be a short pause of about eight or nine seconds after the Reader says: 'This is the Word of the Lord'. May I ask the organists or guitar players to respect this pause and not come in immediately after the Readings are finished with music or singing - please wait those few vital seconds. The same applies after the second reading. Please pause for a few seconds before you start playing and singing the Gospel acclamation.   We're talking here about very short pauses not long embarrassing silences.
