Papież Paweł VI i nowe Ordo Missae (1969)

Abstract

The post-counciliar reform of the liturgy of Holy Mass began with publi cation of „Ordo Missae” in 1969. It was included in Missale Romanum by Paul VI in 1970. Both books were prepared by Consilium ad exsequen dam Consitutionem de sacra liturgia recte ordinandam appointed by Paul VI in January 1964. Prominent authorities on history of liturgy, theology and pastoral aspects were part of it. Ordo Missae was elaborated in Coetus X. It was consulted with bi shops during the (1st) Synod of Bishops in 1967. Paul VI accepted it. It is composed of three forms of the Eucharist celebration: mass with the faithful, concelebrated mass and mass with an altar server. Paul VI explained that the new Ordo Missae is the fruit of council reform and it expresses the concern of active participation of the faithful in liturgy. The utterances of Pope confirmed that Ordo Missae is consistent with lex credendi and the need of adjusting lex orandi of Church to indications of Vaticanum which is related to liturgical reform.
