Our liturgy is beautiful,ancient and yet does have aflow and change with time.

Recently our Holy Father,Pope Francis, officially ap-

proved a change in Eucharis-tic Prayers II, III and IV ofthe Mass to include thename of St. Joseph.

The additions, which inEnglish amount to five wordsinserted in the EucharisticPrayers, were issued by theVaticans Congregation forDivine Worship and the Disci-pline of the Sacraments. Thewords, "with blessed Jo-seph, her spouse", follow amention of Mary.

The change, in the worksunder former Pope BenedictXVI before his retirement,reflect the church's growinginterest in "fatherly care".

"It's emphasizing that St.

Nuestra liturgia es bella,antigua y todava tiene unflujo y cambia con el tiempo.

Recientemente nuestroSanto Padre, el Papa Francisco

Las adiciones, que en espa-ol equivale a cinco palabrasinsertadas despus de las Ple-garias en las Plegarias Eucars-ticas, emitidos por la Congre-gacin para el Culto Divino y laDisciplina de los Sacramentos.Las palabras, "con San Jos,su esposo" , siguen una men-cin de Mara.

El cambio, que comenzcon el ex papa Benedicto XVIantes de su jubilacin, reflejael creciente inters de la igle-sia del "cuidado paternal".

Joseph was someone who protected the Blessed Virgin and who cared for Jesus. We call him thefoster father of Jesus, but we have to think of that word in the sense that he fostered the hu-manity of Jesus, he nurtured and helped Christ grow into an adult."

Back in 1962, just as Vatican II was getting started, Pope John XXIII had made the decisionto insert the name of St. Joseph into Eucharistic Prayer I. John XXIII died before the end of theCouncil. Following Vatican II, when additional Eucharistic prayers were adopted -- whether in-tentionally or because of all the changes being made at the time -- St. Joseph was inadvertently

not included in additional Eucharistic Prayers. When Pope Benedict XVI was pope, we receivednews that he was getting requests from people around the world asking to have St. Josephadded. He did what was necessary to get it done but left it to Pope Francis to approve.

Pope Francis hasn't shied away from his own interest in the saint. He chose March 19, thefeast of St. Joseph, as the date for his inaugural Mass, and has a flower on his coat-of-armssymbolizing the saint. "St. Joseph appears as a strong and courageous man, a working man, yetin his heart we see great tenderness, which is not the virtue of the weak, but rather a sign ofstrength of spirit and a capacity for concern, for compassion, for genuine openness to others,for love," Francis said at his inaugural Mass. As pope, Benedict, whose birth name is Joseph,also spoke highly of the saint after whom he was named.

The decree from the Vatican about the new prayers is titled "Fatherly Care", and describesSt. Joseph as "an exemplary model of the kindness and humility that the Christian faithraises to a great destiny, and demonstrates the ordinary and simple virtues necessary formen to be good and genuine followers of Christ".

There are some questions about what prayerful position should we take during the LordsPrayer. Before the recent changes in the liturgy there was some discussion about restoringthe ancient Orans position of prayer for the laity to the proclamation of the Our Father.

In Mass the Orans position describes the gesture whereby thepriest, during certain parts of his audible, leadership prayers at Mass,extends his arms out from his sides, with hands open and facing out.

Orans is the Latin word for Praying and is one of the most ancientof prayer positions in the Judeo-Christian tradition. This is how Christwould have prayed. The Orans position (sometimes called theorante), is easily distinguishable from when the priest folds or joins hishands, and which position is prescribed for the celebrant at severalpoints in Mass: for example, during the Opening Prayer and most of theEucharistic prayer.

With respect to the recitation of the Our Father during Mass, the cur-rent General Instruction of the Roman Missal speaks only to the gesture ofthe priest, not the congregation. After introducing the prayer with hands joined, says the gen-eral instruction in No. 152, the priest then pronounces the Our Father with hands extended.

The guidelines are silent as to what the laity does during the prayer. Therefore the Church doesnot instruct the Faithful to any particular posture during the Lords Prayer; some lay personsin the congregation adopting, notably during the Our Father, the Orans position as their own.Many Catholics are in the habit of joining each others hands in the Orans posture during theLords Prayer along with the celebrant. Some do this on their own as a private devotional posturewhile some congregations make it a general practice for their communities.

Are these practices permissible under the current rubrics, either as a private practice notsomething adopted by a particular parish as a communal gesture?

Again, no position is prescribed in the present Roman Missal for an assembly gesture duringthe Lords Prayer so what you do with your hands during the Lords Prayer is up to you!

era una persona que protega a la Santsima Virgen y que se preocupaba por Jess. Llamamos a Jos,el padrastro de Jess, pero tenemos que pensar en esa palabra en el sentido de que l foment lahumanidad de Jess, nutrido y ayud a Cristo a crecer en un adulto ".

En 1962, cuando el Concilio Vaticano II estaba comenzando, el Papa Juan XXIII haba tomadola decisin de introducir el nombre de San Jos a la Plegaria Eucarstica I. Juan XXIII muri an-tes de que finalice el Consejo. Despus del Vaticano II, cuando se crearon las Plegarias Eucars-ticas adicionales - ya sea intencionalmente o debido a todos los cambios que se realizan en el

tiempo - San Jos fue inadvertidamente, no incluidos en Plegarias Eucarsticas adicionales.Cuando el Papa Benedicto XVI fue papa, recibimos la noticia de que estaba recibiendo solicitu-des de personas de todo el mundo pidiendo que San Jos agreg. l hizo lo que era necesariopara lograr que se haga, pero lo dej al Papa Francisco de aprobar.

El Papa Francisco no ha dimitido a su propio inters en el santo. l eligi 19 de marzo, fiesta deSan Jos, como la fecha para su misa inaugural, y tiene una flor en su escudo de armas que simbo-lizan el santo. "San Jos aparece como un hombre fuerte y valiente, un hombre de trabajo, sin em-bargo, en su corazn, vemos una gran ternura, que no es la virtud de los dbiles, sino ms bien unsigno de fortaleza de espritu y una capacidad de preocupacin, para la compasin, para una ver-dadera apertura a los otros, porque el amor", dijo Francisco a su misa inaugural como Papa, Bene-dicto XVI, cuyo nombre de pila es Jos, tambin elogi el santo despus de que fue nombrado.

El decreto del Vaticano sobre las nuevas oraciones se titula "Cuidado Paternal", y describeSan Jos como "un modelo ejemplar de la bondad y la humildad que la fe cristiana se elevaa un gran destino, y demuestra las virtudes ordinarias y simple necesaria para los hombresa ser buenos y genuinos seguidores de Cristo".

Hay algunas preguntas acerca de cul es la posicin de oracin debemos tomar durante el"Padre Nuestro". Antes de los recientes cambios en la liturgia hubo algunas discusiones sobrela restauracin de la antigua posicin de oracin que se llama "Orans" para los laicos a la pro-clamacin del "Padre Nuestro".

En la Misa en la posicin de "Orans", describe el gesto mediante el cual el sacerdote, en al-gunas de sus oraciones audibles, liderazgo en la Misa, extiende sus brazos hacia los costados,

con las manos abiertas y mirando hacia fuera. "Orans" es la palabra latina para "Orando" y esuna de las ms antiguas de las posiciones de oracin en la tradicin Judeo-Cristiano. As es co-mo Cristo hubiera orado. La posicin "Orans" (a veces llamado el orante), es fcilmente dis-tinguible de cuando los pliegues del sacerdote o une sus manos, y que la posicin se prescribepara el celebrante en varios puntos de la Misa: por ejemplo, durante la oracin inicial (la ora-cin colecta) y la mayor parte del la oracin eucarstica.

Con respecto a la recitacin del Padre Nuestro en la misa, la Instruccin General del Misal Roma-no corriente habla slo al gesto del sacerdote, no de la congregacin. Despus de la introduccin dela oracin "con las manos juntas," dice la Instruccin General en el nmero 152, el sacerdote pronun-cia entonces el Padre Nuestro "con las manos extendidas". Las directrices no dicen nada sobre lo de

los laicos no durante la oracin. Por lo tanto, la Iglesia no instruye a los fieles a cualquier postura par-ticular durante el "Padre Nuestro". Algunas personas en la congregacin adoptaron, sobre todo du-rante el Padre Nuestro, la posicin "Orans" como su propia posicin de oracin. Muchos catlicos tie-nen la costumbre de unirse a los dems las manos en la postura "Orans" durante el Padre Nuestro,junto con el celebrante. Algunos lo hacen por su propia cuenta como una postura devocional privado,mientras que algunas congregaciones hacen que sea una prctica general para sus comunidades.

Son estas prcticas permisible bajo las rbricas actuales, ya sea como una prctica privadano es algo aprobado por una parroquia en particular, como un gesto comn?

Ninguna posicin se prescribe en el Misal Romano presente para un gesto de montaje durante elPadre Nuestro, pues lo que te haces con las manos durante el "Padre Nuestro", esta tu eleccin!
