172 THE END OF HIGH MASS. Week. On Maundy Thursday it is omitted from horror of the treacherous kiss of Judas on Good Friday and Holy Saturday it is likewise omitted because, says Durandus the ritualist, Christ, our true peace, has not risen from the dead. After His Resurrection pax vobis was His familiar greeting. At Masses for the Dead the Pax is also omitted, as we shall see later under Mass for the Dead. FROM THE COMMUNION TO THE END OF HIGH MASS. When the subdeacon has concluded giving the Pax he rejoins the priest at his right hand, and removes the pall from the chalice before the priest drinks the Precious Blood. When the Communion of the priest and faithful is over, the subdeacon ministers wine for the first ablution ; and wine and water for the second. The deacon and subdeacon change places, the deacon removing the Missal to the Epistle side. The priest having received the second ablution leaves the chalice and purificator, and goes to the Missal at the Epistle side to read the Communion. The subdeacon arranges the chalice and purificator, puts the corporal into the burse, and having covered the chalice and paten with the veil, bears them with the burse resting on them to the credence-table. After placing the chalice on the credence-table, he goes to his place behind the priest and deacon. The celebrant after reading the Communion goes to the middle of the altar, sings the Dominus vobiscum, and is answered by the choir;
THE END OF HIGH MASS. 173 then returning to the Missal, he sings the Postcommunion prayer or prayers. Returning to the middle he again sings Dominus vobiscum, and is answered by the choir. Then the deacon, turning to the people, sings the Ite Missa est or the Benedicamus Domino towards the altar. The celebrant, after blessing the congregation, reads the Gospel. That over, all bow to the middle of the altar, descend the steps, genuflect J if the Blessed Sacrament be reserved, and preceded by the acolytes with lights return to the sacristy. (Taken in part from Canon Oakeley s Ceremonial of the Mass.] 1 " Genuflexion (the bending of the knee) is a natural sign of adoration or reverence. The faithful genuflect in passing before the tabernacle where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved, and on both knees when It is exposed. The early Christians prayed standing on Sundays, and from Easter till Pentecost, and only bent the knee in sign of penance." (Cath. Diet. p. 401.) Prostration is much earlier than genuflexion. Prostration is still prescribed for the Sacred Ministers before the Mass of the Presanctified on Good Friday and during a portion of the Litany sung on Holy Saturday morning. At an Ordination Mass the candidates to be ordained fall upon their faces during the chanting of the ; Litany and at the Coronation Service also, while the Litany is sung, the Sovereign elect lies prostrate on the ground. "But the Good Friday prostra tion probably recalls an act of humiliation which was as habitually practised in the early Church as genuflexion is with us, every time that the Chief Pontiff and his attendants made their solemn entry into the sanctuary for High Mass. ... It would seem that the Good Friday Service alone has retained unchanged a feature which eleven hundred years ago was witnessed at the beginning of every Mass." (Father Thurston s Ceremonies of Holy Week, pp. 4, 6.) To this day a Coptic priest in communion with Rome, says Mass without a single genuflexion. At his Mass a profound inclination takes the place of genuflexion.
