THE OFFERTORY PROCESSION

THE OFFERTORY PROCESSION By Rev. Fr. Casmir Odundo In many Catholic Churches in our country, I have observed that during preparation of the offerings, the Procession of the faithful, with the gifts of bread, wine, water as well as the monetary offerings (especially on Sunday Masses) is gradually being omitted. In other places, where it is practiced, its significance is sometimes overlooked. It is fitting to note that, strictly speaking there are 4 major processions in Mass: 1.       During the Entrance, where the priest(s) going with the deacon(s) and ministers process to the altar 2.       During the Gospel Acclamation or Alleluia where the deacon carrying the Book of the Gospels processes to the ambo before the proclamation of the Gospel; 3.       Procession of the faithful presenting the gifts 4.        Procession Faithful coming forward to receive Comm...

Leo Decimus Quartus

By Fr. Casmir Odundo On the 8th of May 2025, history was written. After the sombre days of mourning Pope Francis, God gave us another shepherd. The death of Pope Francis was felt profoundly by many, especially those of us here in Rome. It was like losing a close family member. Papa Francesco was so close to all of us, and his words and actions touched our hearts deeply. Then came the conclave, and with it, the anticipation. Who would be the next Pope? There was a lot of speculation. The media paraded the probable candidates and I think they did well because, in a way, they helped many people get to know some of the cardinals. I cannot count how many times in Rome I was asked, " Whom are you tipping for? " Some media personalities asked us if we thought it was time for an African Pope. But when we told them that we would not mind a non-African, they seemed less interested in the rest of the conversation. I analysed the candidates, followed the discussions, and paid attentio...

The Pope of Mercy, the Pope of Hope

By Fr. Casmir Odundo We were in first year of theology, an ordinary afternoon in class. Latin lesson with Fr. Anselm Kamuyu. The kind of day you barely notice until something unforgettable slips into it. We were just stepping out of class when the news came—Pope Benedict XVI had resigned. It was 11 February 2013, a Monday. The first pope to resign in nearly 600 years. The last one had been Gregory XII in 1415, stepping down to heal the schism in the Church. And now, Benedict—this humble Bavarian theologian—had done the same, citing lack of strength of mind and body. The world held its breath. Then came the conclave. That word— conclave —from Latin cum clave , meaning "with a key," evokes the ancient custom: the cardinals locked away, key turned, until they chose a pope. It is a tradition from the 13th century, formalised after delays in electing a new pontiff. The electors are cardinals, each one a titular pastor of a Roman church, still preserving the link with the clergy an...
