Magnificat

Matrimony, Holy
Morning Prayer


Magnificat: The song of Mary (Luke 1:46-55) normally used as one of the canticles at Evening Prayer; also, may be used as a Song of Praise on Feasts of St. Mary or at other times (BCP p. 65 or 119).

Mass: The Roman Catholic name for the celebration of the Christian sacramental meal but sometimes used by more traditional Episcopalians to refer to Holy Communion or Holy Eucharist.

Matins: Morning Prayer.

Matrimony, Holy: The sacramental rite that enables a man and a woman to be married and blessed in the Church (BCP pp. 422ff.). The Church requires that at least one of the parties be a baptized Christian, that the ceremony be attested to by at least two witnesses, and that the marriage conform to the laws of the State and the canons of the Church.
   Most Episcopal churches do not administer Holy Matrimony during Lent or on Sunday, because the emphasis should be on the Lord, rather than the couple. This would not be pastorally true in case of a true emergency.

Morning Prayer: A daily morning worship service without communion; Also known as the Daily Office or Matins (BCP pp. 37ff, 75ff). In some churches, Morning Prayer is alternated with Eucharist as the principal Sunday service. Since Morning Prayer does not require the presence of ordained clergy, the service is sometimes used in the absence of the rector or vicar.
