It must never be forgotten that Vincent de Paul\u2019s primary identity was that of a Roman Catholic priest.\u00a0 All that he did during his lifetime emerged from that identity. As a Roman Catholic priest Vincent de Paul would have celebrated Mass daily, and the Eucharist was the summit of his spirituality and all his actions.\u00a0 The great respect and devotion which characterized his personal celebration of the Eucharist was noted with admiration by his contemporaries. He made sure that the priests and brothers of the Congregation of the Mission shared this devotion to the Eucharist.\u00a0 He put this devotion at the core of his many works to support the reformation of the clergy from Ordination retreats, to the famous \u201cTuesday Conferences,\u201d and finally in the newly-founded seminaries he supported.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the central reforms of the Council of Trent had been to standardize the form and rubrics for the celebration of the Eucharist.\u00a0 The reformed Roman rite was to be used throughout the Catholic world as it appeared in the new Roman missal mandated by the Council and issued under papal authority.\u00a0 Throughout the medieval period the Eucharistic liturgy had retained its essential theological core, but had taken on countless variations according to local traditions and customs.\u00a0 This was as true for France as it was anywhere else in the Catholic world. Trent mandated in all things a new reformed spirit of uniformity and identity under papal authority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This value of Roman or \u201cultramontane\u201d uniformity was applied over time and at different speeds throughout the Roman Church. It was largely accepted and valued as the Catholic Reformation, which effectively refashioned Catholicism according to the Tridentine model.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vincent was a strong supporter of this Tridentine liturgical uniformity with respect to the celebration of the Eucharist.\u00a0 This support echoed Vincent\u2019s appreciation of \u201cuniformity\u201d <\/span>per se<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 as the \u201cstate which, uniting all the individuals, forms of several members one living body with its own functions.\u201d[1] He also noted: \u201cOh, if you had only seen, I don\u2019t want to say the ugliness, but the diversity, of the ceremonies of the Mass forty years ago, it would have made you ashamed! I don\u2019t think there was anything uglier in the world than the different ways people were celebrating it\u2026God be blessed that His Divine Goodness has been pleased to gradually remedy this great disorder\u2026All of it hasn\u2019t been set right, for, alas, how much variation in the celebration of the Holy Mysteries is still apparent!\u201d[2]<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Prayer<\/a>

The present volume presents the ideal of the Tridentine Eucharistic liturgy, and its rubrics as normative for authentic Catholic worship.\u00a0 This beautifully illustrated volume presents thirty-five two-page illustrations which demonstrate the flow of the liturgy from beginning to end drawing direct and simultaneous parallels with the passion of Christ. The facing page features a prayer in both Latin and French which focuses attention on the meaning of that particular moment of the Liturgy.\u00a0 The volume concludes with a variety of litanies, prayers, and the penitential psalms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois Mazot was a French engraver and printer active in the mid-17th century.\u00a0 The first edition of this volume appeared in 1651, and was self-published.\u00a0 The volume is dedicated to Charles de Laubespine, (1580-1653) the Marquis de Ch\u00e2teauneuf-sur Cher.\u00a0 Ch\u00e2teauneuf at the time was serving as the Garde des Sceaux (1651-1652). The Marquis fell afoul of Cardinal Mazarin and retired to his country estates. There is one surviving letter from Vincent de Paul to the Marquis written at the end of 1652[3]<\/span><\/p>\n
