Scrisoarea #131, 2023, Luni, 2 octombrie: Noua Consacrare?

[2023-10-02]

Învierea lui Lazăr de pictorul italian Duccio , c. 1310-1311. Lazăr a fost sfântul care a murit şi a fost îngropat timp de patru zile, înainte ca Isus să vină la mormântul său şi să rostească acele cuvinte care au răsunat de-a lungul secolelor: „Lazăr, vino afară!” Acesta a fost ultimul mare miracol pe care Isus a săvârşit-o, cu doar opt zile înainte de a fi arestat şi executat

Învierea lui Hristos a lui Lazăr , Atena, secolele XII-XIII. Lazăr este în dreapta, deja înfăşurat în pânzele sale de înmormântare, fiind trimis la mormânt cu patru zile înainte ca Hristos să vină să-l salveze.
Scrisoarea #131, 2023, luni, 2 octombrie: Noua Consacrare?

Scriu din insula Cipru, lângă Larnaca.

Am venit aici să mă rog la mormântul Sfântului Lazăr , înainte de începerea Sinodului de la Roma pe 4 octombrie.

***

Lazăr, la ceva timp după ce a fost înviat din morţi de Isus, în ceea ce a fost ultimul şi probabil cel mai mare miracol al vindecărilor miraculoase ale lui Isus, înregistrat de apostolul Ioan , a părăsit Israelul şi a venit în Cipru.

Aici a fost sfinţit episcop de către Sfântul Barnaba şi a devenit primul episcop creştin din Larnaca.

Aici, conform tradiţiei, Lazăr a murit şi a fost înmormântat, iar aici se află mormântul său, în cripta unei biserici paşnice greco-ortodoxe de aici.

Am venit aici pentru că am simţit că Lazăr reprezintă dorul fiecărui creştin, şi cu adevărat al fiecărui om... ca să putem trăi şi „rămîne împreună”, în familiile noastre, cu cei dragi, chiar şi în ciuda păcatului şi a morţii... că Poate că moartea nu pune capăt tuturor, dar Hristos, pentru că este sfânt, să aibă putere chiar şi asupra morţii şi să aducă... viaţă veşnică.

Aceasta este cea care mi se pare adevărata întrebare centrală a acestui viitor Sinod şi a fiecărui aspect al vieţii Bisericii, a cărei „lege supremă” este „mântuirea sufletelor” – mântuirea sufletelor de păcat şi moarte : cum putem participa la biruinţa lui Hristos asupra păcatului şi a morţii?

Cum putem participa la viaţa veşnică a lui Hristos?

Lazăr din Betania (latinizat din Lazăr , în cele din urmă din ebraică Eleazar , „Dumnezeu a ajutat”), venerat şi ca Neprihănit Lazăr, mort de patru zile în Biserica Ortodoxă de Răsărit, este subiectul unui semn al lui Isus în Evanghelia după Ioan, în care Isus îl readuce la viaţă la patru zile după moartea sa. (Tradiţiile ortodoxe şi catolice răsăritene oferă relatări diferite despre evenimentele de mai târziu din viaţa sa. Unele tradiţii consemnează înmormântarea lui în Franţa.)

The raising of Lazarus is a miracle of Jesus recounted only in the Gospel of John (John 11:1–44) in the New Testament, as well as in the Secret Gospel of Mark (a fragment of an extended version of the Gospel of Mark) in which Jesus raises Lazarus of Bethany from the dead four days after his entombment. The event took place at Bethany. In John, this is the last of the miracles that Jesus performs before the passion, crucifixion and his own resurrection.

The biblical narrative of the raising of Lazarus is found in Chapter 11 of the Gospel of John. A certain Lazarus, who lives in the town of Bethany near Jerusalem, is introduced as a follower of Jesus. He is identified as the brother of the sisters Mary and Martha.

The sisters send word to Jesus that Lazarus, “he whom thou lovest,” is ill. Jesus tells his followers: “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”

Instead of immediately traveling to Bethany, according to the narrator, Jesus intentionally remains where he is for two more days before beginning the journey.

The disciples are afraid of returning to Judea, but Jesus says: “Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to awaken him.”

When the apostles misunderstand, he clarifies, “Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe.”

When Jesus arrives in Bethany, he finds that Lazarus is dead and has already been in his tomb for four days. He meets first with Martha and Mary in turn.

Martha laments that Jesus did not arrive soon enough to heal her brother (“if you had been here, my brother would not have died“) and Jesus replies with the well-known statement, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die”.

Martha affirms that she does truly believe and states, “Yes, Lord. I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who has to come into the world.”

In the presence of a crowd of Jewish mourners, Jesus comes to the tomb. Jesus asks for the stone of the tomb to be removed, but Martha interjects that there will be a smell. Jesus responds, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?”

Over the objections of Martha, Jesus has them roll the stone away from the entrance to the tomb and says a prayer. They take the stone away then Jesus looks up and says: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”

He then calls Lazarus to come out (“Come forth”) and Lazarus does so, still wrapped in his grave-cloths. Jesus then calls for someone to remove the grave-cloths, and let him go.

The narrative ends with the statement that many of the witnesses to this event “believed in him.” Others are said to report the events to the religious authorities in Jerusalem.

The Gospel of John mentions Lazarus again in Chapter 12. Six days before the Passover on which Jesus is crucified, Jesus returns to Bethany and Lazarus attends a supper that Martha, his sister, serves.

Jesus and Lazarus together attract the attention of many Jews and the narrator states that the chief priests consider having Lazarus put to death because so many people are believing in Jesus on account of this miracle.

The miracle of the raising of Lazarus, the longest coherent narrative in John aside from the Passion, is the culmination of John’s “signs”.

It explains the crowds seeking Jesus on Palm Sunday, and leads directly to the decision of Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin to kill Jesus.

After the resurrection, the early Christians began to gather together to recall and to pray to, and to be in spiritual communion with, Jesus, and over time, these gatherings began to take on a liturgical form which we now call “the Mass.”

That liturgical form centered on the consecration of bread and wine which became the very “body and blood” of Jesus, which was shared, and which early Christians termed “the medicine of immortality,” that is, the “communion” with Jesus Himself which provided the power to overcome sin and death.

This is the importance of the liturgy of the Church.

And now news is being circulated on the internet that a new change is being planned in the consecration of the Mass, and that it may be implemented in Brazil on October 12.

I do not know whether the news is true, or will come to pass. But the author of the news I received — who himself says he does not know whether the report is true — is a thoughtful Catholic writer who has written a long, detailed, and useful work on the Second Vatican Council.

So, I send out the letter I received via email, with the Qualification that I, like the author himself, am unsure about whether this report will turn out to be true. —RM

New Consecration?

NEWS: September 29, 2023 (link)

Bird’s Eye View of the News

By Atila Sinke Guimarăes

IS A NEW BRAZILIAN MASS COMING? – While all attention is turned toward the Vatican and its October Synod on Synodality, in another corner of the world a very important thing is about to happen and practically no one is watching.

Indeed, in Brazil, where the number of active Bishops is 400 (second only to Italy with 730, including the Vatican) and the number of Catholics is 123 million – the largest contingent in the world – a new Mass is in gestation and very close to its birth.

Well-informed sources who asked not to be revealed say that throughout Brazil the Bishops are calling the priests together to prepare them for a new Mass that is coming.

Brazil is divided into 19 episcopal Regions. My sources reported that each of these Regions is preparing to have its own particular Mass. I am not sure if this is true or if it was just presented this way to the priests to make the idea more acceptable to them. It could be that there will just be one Mass for the entire country. What I will relate below comes from the report I received from one of these Regions.

In Region East II, encompassing the State of Minas Gerais with 7 Archdioceses and 21 Dioceses, the Prelates are gathering all their priests to tell them to prepare for an enormous change that has been prepared for their present-day Novus Ordo Mass.

Although the entire liturgy will change, the most important innovations are the words of Consecration for the bread and the wine, which would change to accommodate the “sensibility” of each region.

In Minas Gerais, the new formula of the Consecration of the bread would become: “And He gave it to His disciples saying: This is My love which will be delivered for you and for all …”

For the Consecration of the wine, the new formula would become: “Take and drink of it all, this is the wine and the water of life, which will be poured in your hearts …”

These changes reportedly will be made public on October 12, 2023, the Feast Day of Our Lady Aparecida, Queen and Patroness of Brazil.

According to the same sources, these changes have been in preparation since 2004 during the pontificate of John Paul II, and today are finally ready to be put in practice with the full endorsement of Pope Francis.

This is, to this day, the data I received. I will now go on to comment on them.

Is this real?

The first question is: What degree of credibility should we give to this information?

We have seen an African Zairian Rite Mass celebrated in St. Peter’s Basilica. The “Zaire Use” of the Roman Rite was said in Lingala, the language spoken in Congo, with much spontaneous clapping, dancing, singing and shouting.

We know that Francis encouraged the Mexican Bishops to propose a Mayan Rite, which was already sent to the Vatican for final approval.

We read in Querida Amazonia that the Pope is encouraging the South America Indian tribes to develop their own liturgical rite. Initially, he proposed adapting the entire liturgy to the idolatrous rituals of those Indians who adore the elements of nature as deities.

In Querida Amazonia he affirmed:

“The inculturation of Christian spirituality in the cultures of the original peoples can benefit in a particular way from the sacraments, since they unite the divine and the cosmic, grace and creation. In the Amazon region, the sacraments should not be viewed in discontinuity with creation. They ’are a privileged way in which nature is taken up by God to become a means of mediating supernatural life.’” (§ 81)

Then, dealing with the Sunday Liturgy of the Mass, Francis stated:

“In this sense, ’encountering God does not mean fleeing from this world or turning our back on ’ It means that we can take up into the liturgy many elements proper to the experience of indigenous peoples in their contact with nature, and respect native forms of expression in song, dance, rituals, gestures and symbols. The Second Vatican Council called for this effort to inculturate the liturgy among indigenous peoples; over fifty years have passed and we still have far to go along these lines.” (§ 82)

With these precedents, I do not see any inconsistency between the predicted New Brazilian Mass with its changed words of Consecration and today’s papal general guidelines.

I would say that the information I transcribed has all the appearance of truth. If by chance it is not announced and applied this coming October, as my source reports, this could be due to some reactions from the priests, and not from the Bishops or the Vatican.

Immediate consequences

The new words of the Consecration mentioned above break completely with the entire past of the Catholic Church.

Until now the Novus Ordo Missae of Paul VI has tried to maintain appearances and pretended to have some continuity with the Tridentine Mass. This New Brazilian Mass abandons any such care. It is a blatant break with the past; all links are broken.

Nonetheless, it is the normal outcome of the Novus Ordo Mass. It is the natural debouchment of the river of changes that came from Pau VI’s Liturgical Reform.

In this episode the progressivists throw out the window the bi-millennial respect – not to say the adoration they should have – for the words of Our Lord. In fact, if the words change, the entire Eucharistic doctrine of the Church loses its meaning.

De fapt, dacă formulele Canonului pot fi modificate pentru a fi pe placul „sensibilităţilor” cutare sau cutare audienţă, Liturghia nu mai este reînnoirea Jertfei Domnului nostru Iisus Hristos. Nu mai există Transsubstanţiere. Această „masă” devine o vagă amintire a Cinei celei de Taină pentru a fi reacţionată după preferinţele publicului teatrului. Nu văd nicio diferenţă între această „masă” şi un serviciu protestant.

Dar nu numai Sfânta Euharistie este desfiinţată, însăşi întreaga Teologie Sacramentală, care cere o formulă precisă şi o materie exactă pentru a efectua Sacramentele, este şi ea dărâmată.

În aceste noi formule ale Consacrarii, Biserica Conciliară îşi arată adevărata faţă şi apare în toată urâţenia ei.

Dacă se va face acest pas, catolicii se vor confrunta cu un adevărat cataclism.

În timp ce reacţia împotriva Liturghiei Novus Ordo i -a împărţit pe catolici în facţiuni – progresişti, de mijloc, conservatori, tradiţionalişti şi toate tipurile de sede-vacantişti – această nouă liturghie braziliană promite să aducă această fragmentare la apogeu.

Vaticanul şi prelaţii contează cel mai probabil pe o acceptare generală imbecilă/apatică a acestei Liturghii, similară cu respectarea pe care i-au văzut pe oameni să o facă cu blocajele covid şi vaccinurile corespunzătoare. S-ar putea să se înşele foarte mult…

Un veritabil haos religios poate izbucni din această schimbare care ar putea scăpa de sub controlul lor. Vraja poate veni împotriva vrăjitorului. Mesele se pot întoarce.

Să stăm cu ochii pe acest experiment brazilian şi să vedem ce se întâmplă.
