Fr John Hunwicke
was for nearly three decades at Lancing College; where he taught Latin and Greek language and literature, was Head of Theology, and Assistant Chaplain. He has served three curacies, been a Parish Priest, and Senior Research Fellow at Pusey House in Oxford. Now incardinated into the Personal Ordinariate of our Lady of Walsingham, he has his base within the Oxford Ordinariate Group. This blog now replaces the Blog Father Hunwicke's Liturgical Notes. Its main purpose is to explore, ad mentem Summi Pontificis, the possibilitiesfor mutual enrichment between three forms of the Roman Rite: the Extraordinary Form, the Ordinary Form, and the Anglican Use. I have been told that my previous blog was disliked because of some the comments on the 'thread'. I take the point. In this blog, all comments will be moderated, and anything which is even implicitly critical of the English Hierarchy or of any member of it, will not be published.
NEW: Click below to order the 2013 ORDO
The purpose of this ORDO is to serve the needs of both Anglicans and Roman Catholics. For the former it provides for the recitation of Morning and Evening Prayer and the celebration of Holy Communion in accordance with modern forms authorised or encouraged in the Provinces of Canterbury and York. These forms are selected, arranged, and interpreted in the the spirit of what has become generally customary in Western Christendom since the Second Vatican Council; but notes draw attention to Orthodox insights. It also provides a full Calendar according to the modern Roman Rite, together with explanatory and catechetical notes. Anglicans who prefer forms of Liturgy based on the Book of Common Prayer will find a lectionary designed for use with the BCP.

Raffaello's Madonna di Foligno
The original once graced the high altar of the church of Sancta Maria in Ara Coeli on the Capitoline Hill. A fine copy is at the centre of the great baroque reredos at S Thomas the Martyr, Oxford.

Perhaps a good old-fashioned Te Deum?
I've also been wondering about the Canon in an Ordinariate church. Who would go in after "famulo tuo Papa nostro Benedicto"? If the Ordinary were a bishop, presumably he. If not, nobody? Or the diocesan?
Fr H., be assured, from near the antipodes, that prayers go up night and day for the success of this fraught yet happy enterprise.
Opening the altar missal for to find something apt, my eyes fell upon the Missa pro peregrinantibus et iter agentibus... I recall one of the PEV's said something about being on a journey somewhere; and this Votive seems in some passages startlingly applicable (one hopes the reception provided by the Catholic bishops of England and Wales will not, please God, require you to follow the Lord's command to shake the dust from your feet!), and the collect Adesto Domine is rendered very expansively and beautifully in the Prayer Book:
Assist us mercifully, O Lord, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by thy most gracious and ready help; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Enrico, as the ordinary in the Ordinariates is a vicar of the Pope himself, it would seem that the custom to follow would be the same as in other vicariates apostolic: which I believe do not have their names inserted in the Canon.
A votive Mass of S. Hilda or S. Wilfrid, perhaps, both strong romanisers with a desire to anchor the English church to the rock of S. Peter.
