musicians of old

Chapter 443 King-appointed Priest
The chant of the Mercy Sutra is still going on.

As soon as Lavoisier on the stage gave an order, even the bishop of Tucville was dumbfounded!
I saw that under the order of his dispatcher, the low-ranking servants and civil servants began to replenish incense charcoal, prepare holy water, and adjust the position of lamps; the three deacons returned to the front of the procession believers, and gradually led them into the stage Sit tight; the fourth deacon brings the first batch of wine and cakes to the consecration place, rings the bell to remind believers to display these consecration materials, and then leads the representatives to offer incense; Deacon No.5 sings on the stage When it came to "Lord have mercy!", very punctually led the fragments of the Gospel from the "Judgment" to the reading table, and sprinkled frankincense essential oil in the candle.
The mass ceremony, which was originally a bit scattered because of the loss of the backbone, has actually achieved a level that can only be found in those big city parishes!

"You must add fresh water to the blood and fire of the Lord, and you must discern whether the wine of the grapes has soured. This is a serious command, and it is sinful to deliberately disobey it."

"Did I add more or less?" The young deacon who was being taught was uneasy.

"The old law requires very little water to be added, but the new law no longer emphasizes very little, just add a little water." Fan Ning said in a gentle voice, "This change is to prevent your narrow-minded priests from being uneasy about adding water. In case of a concomitant offering, there is more than one cup of wine, and only the main vessel should be controlled.”

He patted the other party's shoulder earnestly and earnestly: "But this is not a prosperous occasion, you have personally done each of the Lord's cups, and the clean water is [-]%, the credit must be not small."

The young deacon bowed again and again, and Fanning walked away to look at another place, frowning.

"This brother is prejudiced against the usage of the holy silver stamp." He reached out and pointed out several positions on the unleavened bread baked on the high-temperature pebbles.

Originally, the steam in the cake was gradually accumulating, trying to tear the soft interior and make the dough swell, but the curly-haired and bearded acolyte adjusted the position of the poke according to Fan Ning's instructions, and those curved gluten It was fixed.

With the dripping of fiery red Schmaltz oil, the unleavened cake gradually sprayed out a sun-like color, and the aroma with a strong smell of roasted wheat also wafted out.

"In the future, when making Eucharist cakes, you must make the wheat syrup thicker without adding any yeast. It is not advisable to soak the egg liquid for 10 minutes, and the baking time should be controlled at 8 minutes."

"Yes, yes." The bearded deacon with a face full of shame, people from foreign countries who have not even registered for religious registration are so proficient, and he even needs to be taught to bake a cake
Fan Ning, who boarded the sacristy altar again, waved his hand in the air. At this time, the sound of the music just stopped, and the power of the invisible "key" was transformed into a fiery golden color by the "fountain in the painting". Nine folds of cloth soared into the sky, and quickly stretched into a formal shape and fell down.

"Concrete inspiration, high rank, he is a high rank!"

The clergy were overwhelmed with admiration, and even a few investigators stood in the corner and were stunned.

Not to mention how difficult it is to become a high-ranking person, let’s just say that this is the level of mass, even a layman can see
This effect can be achieved by someone who has not been a priest for more than ten years! ?

"All flesh is like grass. All his glory is like flowers on the grass. The grass will wither and the flowers will wither."

As soon as the "Sutra of Compassion" was over, Fan Ning recited a section of "Ode to Succession" before the original "Sutra of Glory".

It is the theme adaptation chant of the second movement of Brahms' German Requiem.

There seemed to be the rumbling hammering of timpani in the air, and the austere and heavy chromatic melody passed from voice to voice in the choir:
"Be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord."

"Behold, the farmer waits patiently for the precious sprout in the field, until it receives the spring and autumn rains."

The bright and soft side faded away from the light, and the air was filled with melancholy and longing. In the dark shadows of the church, inexplicable energy was accumulating. A brilliant chorus broke out for a moment——

"Only God lives forever!"

"The people redeemed by the Lord will return, and they will return to the holy city with joy. Eternal joy will return to their heads, and they will be joyful and happy. Sorrow and sigh will all flee!"

Outside the church, a more holy light seeps in through the cracks. The believers feel that this is different from the previous immersion without knowing it. Their thinking becomes clearer than ever before in an instant. At this moment, the clear details of the scriptures are resolved in the brain like a stream, directly to the essentials.

The mass was still going on, and several low-level clergymen felt that their inspiration was growing rapidly.

Because of its good enlightenment, the Church of the Holy Sun has always had the largest number of low-level wise people in the official organization, and the mass ceremony led by Fan Ning this time directly made several accumulated ignorant people inspired by ordinary people. Three to five times the human body reaches the critical line of ten times, and you can try to make a breakthrough in the dream control method you practiced that night!

Although there are accumulative factors, but just like this, after tonight, I am afraid that there will be 1-3 more knowledgeable people in the diocese!
"This Lavoisier, since he has returned to the country this time, once the review process is over, I will appoint him to sit in the priesthood of the diocese of Lepic!"

Bishop Toukville had a good impression of Lavoisier at first because he couldn't understand the paralyzed and arrogant style of the Special Inspection Office, which was compared with each other.

Lavoisier's legacy of ancient priests is very rare, and it is very rare in today's industrial age, but Tucville also knows that artistic attainments and mysterious strength are the decisive factors.

But now, Tukeweier is not only as simple as being moved, he even feels ashamed of himself!

For regular mass music on ordinary days, the ritual program is a fixed sequence of five parts: "The Mercy Sutra", "The Glory Sutra", "The Creed", "The Holy Sutra" and "The Lamb Sutra". Different works by different composers can be selected for free collocation. But the genre and order cannot be changed!Otherwise, it does not conform to the mystery of "Unfalling Fire", and cannot achieve the effect of paying homage and worshiping divine power.

Is there room for change?Of course there is.

In fact, before and after the five parts, you can add more, but then it is not called "regular mass", but "special mass" or "special mass", which is used in important festivals, celebrations or important ceremonies !
The special mass can invite more divine power of the "unfalling fire" to achieve a more grand effect, but it is easy to imagine that in a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-stage mass ceremony with a fixed program To add to it, what kind of artistic accomplishment and deep understanding of teachings is required!
And the present Lavoisier, just in front of 1 of the regular mass, added a piece of "Entering the Stage" that served as a preamble, and then added "Continuing Songs" and "Preaching Songs" between 1 and 2. ", in the middle of 3 and 4 added the "Dedication Sutra", "Silent Prayer without Lyrics" and "Preface". Recitation"—yes, Fanning introduced all seven movements of the "German Requiem" into it.

Not only the details of the consecration that are exquisitely controlled, meticulously detailed, sincere and holy, but more importantly, a huge and exquisite special mass ceremony has been constructed by him since then!

"After the ceremony, the congregation dispersed."

In the eyes of more than five hundred pairs of awe or joy, Fan Ning spoke kindly, and his figure slowly walked down the altar.
