Our chapel is small enough that I can hear the intake of breath from the priest just before he begins. And even if I don't say them out loud, I do say the words in my head as I actively participate in the Mass. I also have become accustomed to praying Vespers and Holy Hour with the Sisters, and the way it is done here, there are some occasions where the chantress says the first few words on her own before all join in - it is written that way in their choir manual. For the Gloria, if it is chanted (no organ or piano back-up), I need "Gloria in excelsis Deo" chanted so I can catch the pitch/rhythm. A lot of other things bother me about the Mass as celebrated here. Perhaps I am just happy the Confiteor is said now(it wasn't for many years), so a little delay in the words doesn't bother me!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05485793986602894527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-62259895512525777402016-01-07T13:50:53.588-06:002016-01-07T13:50:53.588-06:00LOL!

This bothers me as it's as if only the priest confesses that or believes that. The delay at the beginning of the Gloria is the same way, we do not chant this antiphonally so having the cantor be the only one to chant the first line makes no sense.Banjo pickin girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493740689193609149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842286.post-80453535886346082892016-01-07T12:11:20.651-06:002016-01-07T12:11:20.651-06:00Instant pour Homme.
