May our pastors take this to heart!

Vatican wants more Latin, Gregorian chant

The Vatican document [only in Italian right now] encourages seminaries and houses of formation to cultivate "the bond between theological formation and spiritual experience of the Eucharistic mystery"; to pay attention to "interior and exterior participation in the celebration of the Mass"; to know "liturgical theology" and the rite of the Mass; to be familiar with Gregorian chant and Latin; and to promote Eucharistic adoration.

And we have this article:

Catholic News Agency reports that the document, titled The Year of the Eucharist: Suggestions and Proposals, encourages "familiarity of Latin, indicating its necessity, especially in housed of formation and in seminaries, for prayer and singing in Latin, particularly Gregorian chant".

The Congregation "suggestions and proposals" include:

• Preparation of documents promoting the Year of the Eucharist, and reflection by priests and faithful local doctrinal and pastoral problems such as the lack of priests, low Sunday Mass attendance, and abandonment of Eucharistic adoration.
• Promoting national Eucharistic congresses.
• Encouraging knowledge of the saints.
• Increasing perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
• Eucharistic adoration for young people around Palm Sunday.
• Dedicating space to the theme of the Eucharist in diocesan magazines, internet sites, and local media.
• Teaching the faithful to behave "properly" when entering a Church.

Would this be a wonderful beginning? I'm looking forward to the next Eucharistic Congress here as well.

We should pray that this "Year of the Eucharist" will be a time of renewal for the faithful and for our priests.
