What might parishes do around this time to mark the end of the Year of Jubilee but also to proclaim that the spirit of mercy continues?I suggest scheduling a non-sacramental Penitential Service. According to the Rite of Penance:\u201cPenitential services are gatherings of the people of God to hear God\u2019s word as an invitation to conversion and renewal of life and as the message of our liberation from sin through Christ\u2019s death and resurrection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPenitential celebrations are beneficial in fostering the spirit and virtue of penance among individuals and communities; they also help in preparing for a more fruitful celebration of the sacrament of penance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPenitential services are very helpful in promoting conversion of life and purification of heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Penitential Services are different from the three Rites of Reconciliation (totally individual, communal with individual confession, fully communal) in that they are not sacramental and it is important that participants are made aware of this.<\/p>\n<p>So why hold a Penitential Services instead of, say, the Second Rite of Reconciliation?<\/p>\n<p>The answer lies in this very fact, i.e., that it is not sacramental. This means that it is a liturgy which may be celebrated by unbaptised (the Rite of Penance says that Penitential Services should be celebrated by catechumens to help during their conversion), by candidates for reception into the Catholic Church, by members of other Churches and by all people of good will.<\/p>\n<p>What does a Penitential Service look like? Helpfully, the Rite of Penance offers several examples at the back of the book. There are models provided for use during Lent and Advent but those under the heading \u201cCommon Penitential Celebrations\u201d would be best to use for a service at the end of November. \u00a0There are six examples: Sin and Conversion, The son returns to the father, The Beatitudes, one for Children, one for Young People and one for the Sick. Of course, these are models meaning that they should be adapted to the specific conditions and needs of each community.<\/p>\n<p>Those with access to Liturgy Brisbane\u2019s electronic resource LabOra Worship will find these sample Penitential Services by going to Resources\/ Rituals (Documents)\/ Rite of Penance.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of last year I suggested that the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy might motivate parish liturgy committees to ponder questions such as: Do we have a ministry of hospitality to welcome everyone to baptisms, funerals and other services as well as Sunday Mass? Are people given on arrival a parish bulletin and hymnbook or service sheet if needed?\u00a0 What impact does our music, proclamation of readings, preaching and presiding have on the \u201coutsider\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not too late to do some reflecting and acting!<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<p><em>\u201cLiturgy Lines\u201d are short 500-word essays on liturgical topics written by Elizabeth Harrington, <\/em>Liturgy Brisbane\u2019s<em> education officer.
