Episode notes
Eucharist As The Same Sacrifice
- The Eucharist is a re-presentation of Christ's one sacrifice in ritual form that we participate in bodily and spiritually.
- Denis McNamara emphasizes the 'memo drama': same reality of Calvary manifested sacramentally in the Mass.
Entering Jerusalem Through The Procession
- Denis describes Old St. Patrick's Palm Sunday ritual where doors stayed closed and cantors sang from the narthex to build longing to enter the church.
- He felt the procession physically enact entering the Jerusalem imagery and the memo drama of salvation.
Fold The Corporal Properly
- Prepare the corporal folded correctly so fragments collect centrally and never open it by a random corner.
- Fold and open the corporal like a book to avoid scattering particles during the Mass.
