![]() The practical norms which follow, however, should be taken as applying only to the Roman rite, except for those which, in the very nature of things, affect other rites as well.Ĥ. Wherefore the sacred Council judges that the following principles concerning the promotion and reform of the liturgy should be called to mind, and that practical norms should be established.Īmong these principles and norms there are some which can and should be applied both to the Roman rite and also to all the other rites. While the liturgy daily builds up those who are within into a holy temple of the Lord, into a dwelling place for God in the Spirit, to the mature measure of the fullness of Christ, at the same time it marvelously strengthens their power to preach Christ, and thus shows forth the Church to those who are outside as a sign lifted up among the nations under which the scattered children of God may be gathered together, until there is one sheepfold and one shepherd. It is of the essence of the Church that she be both human and divine, visible and yet invisibly equipped, eager to act and yet intent on contemplation, present in this world and yet not at home in it and she is all these things in such wise that in her the human is directed and subordinated to the divine, the visible likewise to the invisible, action to contemplation, and this present world to that city yet to come, which we seek. For the liturgy, "through which the work of our redemption is accomplished," most of all in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, is the outstanding means whereby the faithful may express in their lives, and manifest to others, the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church. The Council therefore sees particularly cogent reasons for undertaking the reform and promotion of the liturgy.Ģ. This sacred Council has several aims in view: it desires to impart an ever increasing vigor to the Christian life of the faithful to adapt more suitably to the needs of our own times those institutions which are subject to change to foster whatever can promote union among all who believe in Christ to strengthen whatever can help to call the whole of mankind into the household of the Church.

An invitatory antiphon may appear before, or before and after the invitatory psalm. In the Episcopal Church, the Morning Prayer office opens with an invitatory psalm, either the Venite (Psalm 95:1-7, or the entire psalm on Ash Wednesday, Holy Saturday, and all Fridays in Lent) or the Jubilate (Psalm 100). Verse 17 of Psalm 50(51) Domine, labia mea aperies is often used as the invitatory antiphon in the Liturgy of the Hours. ![]() In place of Psalm 94(95), Psalm 99(100), Psalm 66(67), or Psalm 23(24) may be used as circumstances may suggest. ![]() After the reform of the Liturgy of the Hours following the Second Vatican Council, the Invitatory is said either before the Office of Readings or Lauds, whichever is said first in a liturgical day. It is usually Psalm 94(95), which begins Venite exsultemus in Latin. The invitatory is used to start Nocturns in the Liturgy of the Hours, the Catholic Church's Divine Office. The term derives from Medieval Latin invītātōrium, derived from invītāre, "to invite." Catholic Most often it is Psalm 94(95), also known as the Venite.
