EF Mass Beginner Guide May 17, 2020 Extraordinary Form of the Mass - Fifth Sunday After Easter Solemn High Mass General Notes This Form of the Mass has the priest praying ad orientem (toward the east) or ad Deum (toward God), which means He is facing the altar with the people in order to focus everyone’s attention not on himself, but on the worship of God, which is the primary purpose of the Mass. At certain points the priest turns to the faithful, usually saying or chanting, Dominus vobiscum (the Lord be with you), and he will then turn back to the altar while the the people say or chant, et cum spiritu tuo (and with your spirit). You will notice these are the main visual cues used in this guide. Since this is a Solemn High Mass, today one will notice a deacon and subdeacon also serving at the altar fulfilling particular functions to assist the priest. While this guide gives the order of the Mass parts, the Mass itself has a “layering effect.” At certain points the choir is singing while the priest and servers are praying softly and moving around to perform certain duties. This is not meant to distract, but this Form of the Mass incorporates the different actions of priest, choir, servers, and people into a harmony - different actions “layered” on others. If you are new to this Form of the Mass, do not worry. If you are confused or loose your place, don’t worry. If following the translations helps you, great; if not, that is fine too. It is okay to even put this guide to the side, and simply watch and listen. Engage the beauty of the Mass by praying and meditating and seeking to recognize the parts of the Mass as best you can. God will reward your effort for sticking with it and offering your spiritual sacrifice. How to use this beginner’s guide. The first few pages follow the order of the Mass divided by visual and audible cues that one will notice while viewing the Livestream. Within each cue is listed the corresponding parts of the Mass. In bold are the visual and audible cues for reference. In regular type are listing of certain parts of Mass. In italics are the translation references and some suggestions on what you can pray or meditate on during the corresponding parts of the Mass. Most of the Mass is in Latin, so included is a translation of certain parts (not every prayer is included because it would be too much for a beginner guide). If you see a note that says “see appendix A,” you can choose to turn to the last three pages and find the corresponding letter for that part and read the English translation. Instructions on when to sit, stand, or kneel are not included here since one is watching this livestream and not actually in the church. Of course there is nothing wrong with kneeling or standing at the appropriate times in your home. If you wish to do so, follow the example of the servers for when to kneel, stand, or sit. Page 1 of 7 Basic Structure Outline Choir sings a prelude Hymn Mass Bell Rings: Processional hymn Here meditate how the Lord enters His sacrifice of the Cross and how He enters our lives with love and mercy.

Priest Incenses the Altar Choir chants Kyrie “Lord have mercy” x3, “Christ have mercy” x3,“Lord have mercy”x3 The focus is still on God’s mercy for it is only by His mercy we are healed and saved from our sins. Priest intones and choir chants the “Gloria” - see append. B Priest turns toward people #1 - “Dominus vobiscum” - “et cum spiritu tuo” Priest chants the Collect at right side of altar - see append. C Subdeacon chants the Epistle in Latin at right side of sanctuary - see append. D reading the translation and meditating on the epistle at this time is a way to focus on the “theme” of this Mass and prepare for the sermon. Choir sings Alleluia as priest goes to other side of altar - see append. E Priest returns to right side of altar as deacon prepares to chant the Gospel Deacon chants Gospel from left side of sanctuary - see append. F “Dominus Vobiscum” - “et cum spiritu tuo” reading the translation and meditating on the Gospel at this time is a way to focus on the events of Christ’s life and prepare for the sermon. Priest goes to the ambo to preach the Sermon Priest returns to center of altar Priest intones and Choir chants the “Credo” - see append. G Priest turns toward people #2 - “Dominus Vobiscum” - “et cum spiritu tuo” Choir sings the offertory Antiphon - see append. H This is the offertory time where the priest through certain prayers and ceremonies prepares the offering of the people. Here call to mind your joys and hopes and also sufferings and hardship. Bring them to the foot of the Cross to unite them with the sacrifice of Jesus. The Lord will not be outdone in generosity, but He desires that we bring Him our efforts and Page 2 of 7 spiritual offerings, for through them, God’s grace works to move us more toward holiness. Priest incenses the gifts and altar Server washes the priest’s hands at right side of altar while servers and assembly are incensed. Priest turns toward people #3 - “Orate Fratres...” Priest says in Latin, “Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to the Lord our God” The servers will respond in Latin. It is appropriate for you to pray privately: “May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of His Name, for our good and the good of all His holy Church.” Priest: “Dominus” Vobiscum ...........................People: “et cum spiritu tuo” (the Lord be with you) (and with your spirit) “sursum corda”.................................................. “habemus ad Dominum (Lift up your hears) (we lift them up to the Lord) Gratias agamus Domino Deo nostro”................ “dignum et justum est” (Let us give thanks to the Lord our God) (It is right and just) Priest continues chanting the Preface - see append. I Choir chants the Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy) - as bells ring - see append. J The priest prays the Canon (Eucharistic Prayer) during which the Consecration happens. The priest prays these prayers in a low voice to evoke the silence necessary to meditate on the great mystery of Christ becoming present on the altar. This is a time to reflect and pray more deeply on the Lord’s Passion. His perfect love for the Father led Him to embrace the cross for our salvation. How blessed we are to be His brothers and sisters. The priest elevates the Body and Blood of Christ as bells ring for each. It is a pious practice to proclaim one’s faith in the True Presence of Christ by looking at the host and chalice and praying in one’s heart, “My Lord and my God! The priest continues the Canon in a low voice. Here meditate on the Lord’s Resurrection and Ascension which makes possible the Sacraments of the Church. Take time to thank the Lord for His Presence on the altar. Pray for living and deceased family and friends, for the Church, the parish, the community, the world, and any other personal petitions. Priest chants “per omnia saecula saecularum.” Choir responds, “Amen” This means “For ages of ages. Amen.” This concludes the canon. Page 3 of 7 Priest chants the Pater Noster (Our Father) One may pray the Pater Noster (Our Father) quietly - thanking God for the privilege to truly call Him Father. Priest chants “per omnia saecula saecularum.” - “Amen” Priest chants “Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum” This means, “The peace of the Lord be with you always” People respond by chanting, “Et cum spiritu tuo” Choir Chants “Agnus Dei” - “Lamb of God” Bells ring before the priest receives Holy Communion. Normally after the “Agnus Dei,” the priest turns toward the faithful so they can receive Holy Communion, but since that cannot be done right now due to the Coronavirus, the priest will proceed straight to the ablutions (purifying of the sacred vessels). Choir sings Communion Antiphon - see Append. K It is appropriate at this time to make a Spiritual Communion using these or similar words: My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

  • Ninth Sunday After Pentecost, 11Th August, 2019
    Ninth Sunday after Pentecost, 11th August, 2019 “And when he was now coming near the descent of mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen, Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high!” (Lk 19:37-38). Yes, you would be right in thinking: we have just joined the triumphal entry of Jesus on Palm Sunday. Yet, while the other Gospels: Matthew, Mark, and John, have him then immediately entering the city of Jerusalem amidst these acclamations, St Luke has him weeping as his disciples appeared to be rejoicing: “And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying: If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace; but now they are hidden from thy eyes” (Lk 19:41-42). The “whole multitude” of disciples rejoiced because of “all the mighty works they had seen” (Lk 19:37), while the Lord wept because he knew however that Jerusalem herself would prove blind to these same “works”: “they are hidden from thy eyes” (Lk 19:41-42). The Lucan triumphal entry is therefore tinged with a touch of sadness, as it indeed is, though implicitly, in the accounts in the three other Gospels: Yes, he, the Son of David, the Messiah, is entering David‟s city of Jerusalem, but we know that it is nevertheless in order to suffer, to be crucified, and to die; an event tinged with sadness, even though the outcome will eventually be joyful: he will rise again from the dead, a week after entering the city.

  • The Development of the Roman Rite by Michael Davies
    The Development of the Roman Rite By Michael Davies The Universe is the Catholic newspaper with the largest circulation in Britain. On 18 May 1979 its principal feature article was by one Hugh Lindsay, Bishop of Hexam and Newcastle. The Bishop's article was entitled "What Can the Church Change?" It was a petulant, petty, and singularly ill-informed attack upon Archbishop Lefebvre and Catholic traditionalists in general. It is not hard to understand why the Archbishop is far from popular with the English hierarchy, and with most hierarchies in the world for that matter. The Archbishop is behaving as a true shepherd, defending the flock from who would destroy it. He is a living reproach to the thousands of bishops who have behaved as hirelings since Vatican II. They not only allow enemies to enter the sheepfold but enjoy nothing more than a "meaningful dialogue" with them. The English Bishops are typical of hierarchies throughout the world. They allow catechetical programs in their schools which leave Catholic children ignorant of the basis of their faith or even teach a distorted version of that faith. When parents complain the Bishops spring to the defense of the heterodox catechists responsible for undermining the faith of the children. The English Bishops remain indifferent to liturgical abuse providing that it is initiated by Liberals. Pope Paul VI appealed to hierarchies throughout the world to uphold the practice of Communion on the tongue. Liberal clerics in England defied the Holy See and the reaction of the Bishops was to legalize the practice. The same process is now taking place with the practice of distributing Communion under both kinds at Sunday Masses.

  • A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite
    A Comparison of the Two Forms of the Roman Rite Mass Structures Orientation Language The purpose of this presentation is to prepare you for what will very likely be your first Traditional Latin Mass (TLM). This is officially named “The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” We will try to do that by comparing it to what you already know - the Novus Ordo Missae (NOM). This is officially named “The Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.” In “Mass Structures” we will look at differences in form. While the TLM really has only one structure, the NOM has many options. As we shall see, it has so many in fact, that it is virtually impossible for the person in the pew to determine whether the priest actually performs one of the many variations according to the rubrics (rules) for celebrating the NOM. Then, we will briefly examine the two most obvious differences in the performance of the Mass - the orientation of the priest (and people) and the language used. The orientation of the priest in the TLM is towards the altar. In this position, he is facing the same direction as the people, liturgical “east” and, in a traditional church, they are both looking at the tabernacle and/or crucifix in the center of the altar. The language of the TLM is, of course, Latin. It has been Latin since before the year 400. The NOM was written in Latin but is usually performed in the language of the immediate location - the vernacular.

  • Master of Ceremonies for High Mass (Missa Cantata)
    MASTER OF CEREMONIES FOR HIGH MASS (MISSA CANTATA) REQUIREMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS OF A MASTER OF CEREMONIES A master of ceremonies (MC) must be what his title entails: the master, or expert, on the liturgical ceremonies. Hence, he must not only fully know the positions of the inferior ministers at High Mass, but also be acquainted with the celebrant’s actions. Additionally, the MC should have a thorough understanding of the general principles of the Roman Rite,1 be acquainted with the various liturgical books,2 the liturgical office of the schola and how it affects the MC’s position,3 and of course, the layout and preparation of the missal. The MC must also know how to correct a problematic situation with tact and discretion; this is especially true when advising the celebrant (C). In dealing with the servers, any corrections made (especially from a distance) should be as inconspicuous as possible. For minor matters, it is often better to simply let the matter pass and address it later outside of the ceremony in the sacristy. CONCERNING THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PREPARATIONS BEFORE MASS The MC must oversee all of the preparations that are necessary before the beginning of Mass. You must ensure they are done correctly and on time so that Mass may start as scheduled. As MC, you should remain the sacristy as much as possible, directing the preparations from there (there should be a permanent duties checklist in the sacristy assigning each server a specific duty to complete before Mass). In this way, you can ensure the servers are keeping silence in the sacristy, are organized and that any last minute details can be taken care of easily (such as replacing late servers).

    THE HOLY MASS OF THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL in Latin and English for the Solemn Celebration of the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite at St. John the Beloved Catholic Church in McLean, Virginia “Particular law remaining in force, the use of the Latin language is to be preserved in the Latin rites.” (Vatican II, Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 36) “Steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them.” (Vatican II, Sacrosanctum Concilium, n. 50) “Pastors of souls should take care that besides the vernacular ‘the faith- ful may also be able to say or sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them.”’ (Sacred Congregation of Rites, Musicam sacram (1967), n. 47) “The Roman Church has special obligations towards Latin, the splen- did language of ancient Rome, and she must manifest them whenever the occasion presents itself.” (John Paul II, Dominicae cenae (1980), n. 10) “Mass is celebrated either in Latin or in another language, provided that liturgical texts are used which have been approved according to the norm of law. Except in the case of celebrations of the Mass that are scheduled by the ecclesiastical authorities to take place in the language of the people, Priests are always and everywhere permitted to celebrate Mass in Latin.” (Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Redemptionis Sacramentum (2004), n. 112) “I ask that future priests, from their time in the seminary, receive the preparation needed to understand and to celebrate Mass in Latin, and also to use Latin texts and execute Gregorian chant; nor should we for- get that the faithful can be taught to recite the more common prayers in Latin, and also to sing parts of the liturgy to Gregorian chant.” (Bene- dict XVI, Sacramentum caritatis (2007), n.
