Psalm 97:6 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION A s the La n Mass evolved in the first six centuries, the central prayer, what the Greeks called the anaphora and what we call today the Eucharis c Prayer, became fairly standard almost everywhere in the West. What we now know as Eucharis c Prayer I, or the Roman Canon, took a complex shape, not at all like the fluid and spontaneous prayers of early Rome, but a real architectural construc on. The city of Rome was in a terrible condi on by that me, and a series of poli cal upheavals, plagues, and invasions swept through. Not much of Rome s former glory was le standing, except for the pope, who became a symbol of protec on and hope for the troubled people. The structures of law and administra on were swept away in the chaos, and the pope gradually assumed authority to restore and maintain order. Soon, the public liturgy of Rome became the city s only glory. The Romans wanted good order not only in their civic life, but in their liturgy. One prayer, increasingly enriched by music (although when the music tried to overtake the prayer the pope banned musical instruments en rely) was the new rule of the day. That one prayer, the Roman Canon, was solidly in place when the first liturgical book we have, the Leonine Sacramentary of 540, was compiled. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
