Excerpt from American Ecclesiastical Review, 1890, Vol. 3 Among the Liturgies in use in the Eastern Church that of St. James the Less, Bishop of Jerusalem, is the most ancient. Most of the Fathers, ecclesiastical writers, and liturgists are of opinion, that the Apostles did not celebrate Mass be fore they had received the plenitude of divine grace on Pen tecost. St. Chrysostom seems to allude to this in one of his sermons on Pentecost, in which he says, that the Holy Spirit brought us the assurance of our reconciliation with God, after which feasts and gifts are in order.1 The Ven. Bede speaks more clearly on this point, when, in one of his homilies on Pentecost, he assures us, that as soon as the Apostles re ceived the Divine Spirit, they offered the Holy Sacrifice. Moreover, St. Thomas, giving the reason why the Church selected the season immediately after Pentecost for the so lemnity of Corpus Christi, says it is because during that time the faithful began to frequent this sacrament. We may add also as a theological reason, that, as the Old Law was not abrogated before Pentecost, it is not likely that the sacrifice of the New Law was offered before that day.
