Episode notes
Institution Narrative As Anamnetic Drama
- The institution narrative combines words and actions to make the same saving drama present now as then.
- The priest acts as a deputed minister authorized by Christ to perform that anamnetic ritual.
Speak The Words Clearly And Follow Rubrics
- Pronounce the words of the Lord clearly and distinctly as the rubrics require.
- Follow the rubric actions (slight bow, show host, genuflect) to foster recognition and devotion.
New Phrase Restores Gospel Alignment
- The post-conciliar Missal added the phrase "which will be given up for you" to the bread formula.
- This aligns the Roman Canon and other Eucharistic prayers with the Gospel traditions.
