Question
I was wondering if you know if the Maronites use the Traditional words of consecration in theit reformed rite. ie
"This is the chalice of my blood, the blood of the new and eternal testament, the mystery of faith, it will be shed for you and for many for the remission of sins" you wouldnt happen to have a Reformed Maronite sunday missial would you. I am particulerly concerned about the phrase "mystery of faith". is that still used in their rite?
Peace
dear Romanus
I have several friends that are Maronite, including two priests. I will contact them on Monday. If you write me again on Wednesday, I should have an answer by then.
your servant but Christ's

Expertise
I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
