At the general audience on May 27, Pope Leo XIV urged priests to respect the “norms of the liturgy” and not to make changes to the Mass “on their own initiative,” in order to avoid confusing the faithful.

“I encourage all priests to respect the texts and norms of the liturgy with openness, humility, trust in God’s greatness, and with sincere fidelity to ecclesial communion,” the pope said in remarks in St. Peter's Square.

The Second Vatican Council “affirmed that legitimate progress in the liturgy must also preserve sound tradition and that certain elements of the liturgy can never change because they are divinely instituted,” he said.

Leo’s catechesis on Wednesday continued his reflections on the magisterium of the Second Vatican Council, focusing on the constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium, promulgated by St. Paul VI on Dec. 4, 1963. It is one of the most important documents to emerge from the council, since it transformed the way Catholics celebrate the Mass.

Pictures from the Candle light procession and Para-liturgy at the Convent of the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (FDNSC), commonly known as the OLSH Sisters. This was in preparation for the Memorial Feast of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart on Saturday, May 30; the last Saturday of the month of May. Presiding over the Para-liturgy was Fr. Paul Kote, Vicar General of the RCAOR. Procession was done by the OLSH Sisters Lay from the different areas of residence, and also the FMI Sisters, the Congregation that was founded from the FDNSC Sisters by Archbishop Louis Couppe MSC. FMI Sisters are sometimes referred to as the 'daughters" of the FDNSC Sisters.
The memorial feast of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (OLSH) is an occasion of deep reflection and contemplation on the 'Heart of Jesus united with the Immaculate Heart of Mary', relative to our own human hearts united with the 'Divine Heart of of our Lord Jesus.
