Liturgical Hints & Ideas

During Ordinary Time in Year B we will highlight passages from the 2010 General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM) that pertain to music during the liturgy. The GIRM contains rubrics and instructions (some of them surprising) for the celebration of the Mass. The first section below is a direct quote from the document. The second section is a commentary on the passage.

Arrangement of the Sanctuary (GIRM #309) — The Ambo

… From the ambo only the readings, the Responsorial Psalm and the Easter Proclamation (Exsultet) are to be proclaimed; likewise it may be used for giving the Homily for announcing the intentions of the Universal Prayer. The dignity of the ambo requires that only a minister of the word should stand at it.

Commentary: There is one focus for Sacred Scriptures in the sanctuary — the ambo. All Scripture (including the Responsorial Psalm) as well as the highly-honored Exsultet should be proclaimed from there. Nothing else, save the Homily and Universal Prayer [Prayer of the Faithful], may be read there. Thus, the cantor sings the Responsorial Psalm from the ambo, but everything else (Entrance Chant, Gloria, Gospel Acclamation, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, Communion Chant, etc.) is sung from elsewhere (e.g. the cantor's stand). No one uses the ambo for announcements, themes, special talks or other texts wanting a "convenient" microphone. The ambo is privileged and set apart for ordained ministers and appointed readers/psalmists.
