Liturgical Vestments (and prayers the priest says while vesting for Mass)

I just opened my Bible and read Ezechiel chapter 28. Quite simply, with all due respect, I believe Iscool’s interpretation of the meaning of this chapter is incorrect. Judge for yourselves, it seems pretty clear.

Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
Eze 28:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
Eze 28:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
Eze 28:5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
Eze 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
Eze 28:7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
Eze 28:8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
Eze 28:9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Eze 28:10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 28:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

If you can't see that's Lucifer, I don't know what to tell you...

A reminder to be humble? That was the best I could think of reading Ezechiel 28:1-10.

All I can think of is that God has blinded your eyes to the scriptures...

[Iscool]

Eze 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

“Ezekiel 28:4.”

I think this is a typo. Looks like it should be Exodus 28:4.

And these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A rational and an ephod, a tunick and a strait linen garment, a mitre and a girdle. They shall make the holy vestments for thy brother Aaron and his sons, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.

One of the things we all learned in first grade and, actually, a lot of people remember. The black on All Souls Day is one that isn't always done. Not too long ago, the archdiocesan ceremonies nerd wore an old black fiddleback for All Souls Day. Really cool. It was so stiff and it reeked to ancient incense, but all us younguns loved it.

I guess, I'm confused. As a priest prays for humility as he is vesting, how does that violate the passage? I got out my Douay-Rheims and it's amazingly the same as I would imagine you are using a King James. Again, there does not seem to be a connection.

Our pastor wears a blue long-sleeve buttondown shirt with dress slacks and shoes for the traditional 8 and 9:30 a.m. service, and then changes into blue jeans and tennis shoes or boat shoes for the 11 a.m. “contemporary” service . . . .

I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.

I feel very sorry for you, but thank you for the perspective.

It’s against canon law to slap a priest, isn’t it?

[Grateful2God]

Yeah, that really was good- especially because each piece has a meaning!
