Ordinary Form with transitory deacon

[laszlo]

The newly ordained deacon was vested into dalmatics. He came in in the process in front of the priest in the entrance process. He stood or sat with the celebrant, asked for benediction and read the Gospel and after the Creed the prayers of the faithful. He received the chalice with the priest, then he was the second distributor of the blessed Sacrament. He sung the Ite Missa est. Not so much difference from the extraordinary form.

Let my God bless him.

That’s very lovely! I do hope God blesses your archdiocese with many deacons who become priests like him… By attrition, the boredom of the modernists will slowly ebb away!

One correction

He’s not a transitory Deacon - he’s a** transitional** one

Cool!! It’s always good to see deacons in dalmatics.

I wear a dalmatic* to Mass and I am just a mere altar boy.

Latinisation. Technically it’s a sticharion.

But yeah, the deacons at my Roman parish (I have a Byzantine parish, a Roman parish, and a Maronite mission at the Byzantine parish - life is busy) wear dalmatics every Sunday.

I’ve often wondered what the technical difference is between a dalmatic and an alb. However, the sticharion, according to wikipedia, functions as an alb.

Well, just because as a Latinisation we call them dalmatics, it doesn’t make them so. A dalmatic is an outer vestment a Roman deacon wears at Mass over his stole and alb.

But yes, liturgically, a sticharion and an alb are the same thing, except that the sticharia are obviously very ornate.

Sorry, I was going a bit off-topic. I’m actually wondering what the difference is between a Roman dalmatic and an alb. Sometimes it really looks like putting the same shirt on twice!

I assume you are used to dalmatics like this?

It looks much better and more dignified with more substantial dalmatics, like these:

(I actually know a priest that owns 2 dalmatics like this. )

In my parish we have two permanent deacons so we have two dalmatics in each color, just in case. One of the deacons is usually at two of the weekday masses. We are so blessed.
