Prayer of Intention Before Mass I intend to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to the rite of the holy Catholic Church, to the praise of our all-powerful God and all his assembly in the glory of heaven, for my good and the good of the whole Church on earth, for all who have asked me to pray for them in general and in particular, and for the good of the entire Church. Joy with peace, amendment of life, space for true repentance, the grace and comfort of the Holy Ghost, perseverance in good works, a contrite and humble heart, and a happy consummation of my life, grant unto me, O almighty and merciful Lord. Amen. 34. Prayers at the Foot of the Altar In a Low Mass, an OPENING HYMN may be sung. (In a High Mass, you should start at the INTROIT.)

  • Singing in Latin.Pages
    Why are we singing in Latin??? There are about 20 sets of Mass parts in Latin that were used commonly before the Mass was translated into the vernacular. The Sanctus and Agnus Dei that we are currently singing are from Mass XVIII, commonly used as Requiem Masses (funerals). The somberness and simplicity of this setting pairs well with the penitential season of Lent. Many of the other settings have more Joyful or uplifting qualities, so we shouldn’t Just associate singing in Latin with penance! Despite Latin being a dead language, the Catholic Church has retained it to this day as the official language of the Holy See and the Roman Rite. All liturgical documents, rites of the Church, and even official statements given by the Vatican are first published in Latin, and then translated into other languages for use throughout the world. So, why do we sing in Latin? It’s a layered answer. Given what I’ve already said, singing in Latin connects us to the Universal Church on a deeper level. It also tips a hat to our heritage of four centuries of praying the Mass in Latin – a tradition many “pre-Vatican II Catholics” remember. Now, you’re right in assuming that many parishes dropped the use of Latin after Vatican II. The Vatican II documents were interpreted and implemented differently in the United States than in other countries. While we saw an attitude of “out with the old, in with the new” here in the US, many other countries understood that one of the council’s goals was to retain the rich heritage of the Church, including the way churches were designed and decorated, the use of Latin, and so on.

This liturgical calendar, together with these introductory notes, has been compiled in accordance with the Motu Proprio Rubricarum Instructum issued by Pope B John XXIII on 25th July 1960, the Roman Breviary of 1961 and the Roman Missal of 1962. For the universal calendar that to be found at the beginning of the Roman Breviary and Missal has been used. For the diocesan calendars no such straightforward procedure is possible. The decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites of 26th July 1960 at paragraph (6) required all diocesan calendars to conform with the new rubrics and be approved by that Congregation. The diocesan calendars in use on 1st January 1961 (the date set for the new rubrics to come into force) were substantially those previously in use but with varying adjustments and presumably as yet to re-approved. Indeed those calendars in use immediately prior to that date were by no means identical to those previously approved by the Congregation, since there had been various changes to the rubrics made by Pope Pius XII. Hence it is not a simple matter to ascertain in complete and exact detail the classifications and dates of all diocesan feasts as they were, or should have been, observed at 1st January 1961.

  • 9. the Liturgical Revolution – a New Mass
    82 9. The Liturgical Revolution – A New Mass “Truly, if one of the devils in C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters had been entrusted with the ruin of the liturgy he could not have done it better.”1 THE NEW MASS VS. THE TRADITIONAL MASS The Traditional Latin Mass, the most holy act of worship of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, was codified by Pope St. Pius V in his Bull Quo Primum in 1570. In his famous Bull Quo Primum, Pope St. Pius V forbade changing the traditional Latin Mass. Pope St. Pius V, Quo Primum Tempore, July 14, 1570: “Now, therefore, in order that all everywhere may adopt and observe what has been delivered to them by the Holy Roman Church, Mother and Mistress of the other churches, it shall be unlawful henceforth and forever throughout the Christian world to sing or to read Masses according to any formula other than this Missal published by Us… Accordingly, no one whosoever is permitted to infringe or rashly contravene this notice of Our permission, statute, ordinance, command, direction, grant, indult, declaration, will, decree, and prohibition. Should any venture to do so, let him understand that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.”2 On April 3, 1969, Paul VI replaced the Traditional Latin Mass in the Vatican II churches with his own creation, the New Mass or Novus Ordo. Since that time, the world has seen the following in the Vatican II churches which celebrate the New Mass or Novus Ordo: The world has seen Clown Masses, in which the “priest” dresses as a clown in utter mockery of God.

  • Dominican Rite Practicum
    LSFT 2405 Dominican Rite Practicum Prepared by the Instructor 2020 Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology Fall 2020 LSFT 2405 First Meeting: Saturday, 9/5, SAP Library, 7:30 pm Dominican Rite Practicum Instructor: Fr. Augustine Thompson O.P. Office Hours: TBA at St. Albert’s Priory Course Description This course is a 1.5 unit graded liturgical practicum open to Dominican friar students, normally after residency year, best in the year of deaconal or priestly ordination. The goal is to acquire the ability to celebrate Low Mass and Missa Cantata according to the traditional Dominican Rite in Latin. The outcome will be a correct and fluid "dry Mass" celebration of the Dominican Rite Low Mass and of the Missa Cantata. These two exercises will in equal parts provide the two graded "exams" of the course. The format will be a practicum in which students perform the rite under the direction of the instructor. Admission to the Class Dominican friars who would like to be admitted to the class need to arrange an interview with the instructor. At the interview they will be asked to recite from memory the texts found on the next page. This memorization is not-negotiable and will serve to prove that the student is ready to undertake the heavy memorization element of the class. As this class is only open to Western Dominican Province student brothers it will be held at St. Albert’s with social distancing. Required Books and Materials William R.

  • Understanding When to Kneel, Sit and Stand at a Traditional Latin Mass
    UNDERSTANDING WHEN TO KNEEL, SIT AND STAND AT A TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS __________________________ A Short Essay on Mass Postures __________________________ by Richard Friend I. Introduction A Catholic assisting at a Traditional Latin Mass for the first time will most likely experience bewilderment and confusion as to when to kneel, sit and stand, for the postures that people observe at Traditional Latin Masses are so different from what he is accustomed to. To understand what people should really be doing at Mass is not always determinable from what people remember or from what people are presently doing. What is needed is an understanding of the nature of the liturgy itself, and then to act accordingly. When I began assisting at Traditional Latin Masses for the first time as an adult, I remember being utterly confused with Mass postures. People followed one order of postures for Low Mass, and a different one for Sung Mass. I recall my oldest son, then a small boy, being thoroughly amused with the frequent changes in people’s postures during Sung Mass, when we would go in rather short order from standing for the entrance procession, kneeling for the preparatory prayers, standing for the Gloria, sitting when the priest sat, rising again when he rose, sitting for the epistle, gradual, alleluia, standing for the Gospel, sitting for the epistle in English, rising for the Gospel in English, sitting for the sermon, rising for the Credo, genuflecting together with the priest, sitting when the priest sat while the choir sang the Credo, kneeling when the choir reached Et incarnatus est etc.

  • 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.

  • The Development of the Book of Common Prayer
    Summary Document by Rev. David Peer Diocese of Fredericton The Development of the Book of Common Prayer The purpose of this document is to trace the development of the Canadian Book of Common Prayer from its origins in England to today. A great resource for anyone interested in the Canadian Book of Common Prayer is the Prayer Book Society website http://prayerbook.ca/the-prayer-book, where you can find the 1962 Canadian Prayer Book online. Another great resource online is a site hosted by the Society of Archbishop Justus incorporated in 1997 as a non-profit corporation in the State of New York http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bcp/. It has a number of Anglican historical publications concerning the Prayer Book. What is the Book of Common Prayer, how does it function for the Church of England and other Anglican Churches? The 1962 Canadian revision of The Book of Common Prayer is the official prayer book of the Anglican Church of Canada. It is the second Canadian edition in a line of Books of Common Prayer, originating in the sixteenth century English Reformation. The Book of Common Prayer includes official doctrinal positions, such as the Creeds, the Solemn Declaration of 1893, and the 39 Articles of Religion. It is also the source for the forms for administering: Holy Communion (along with the Collects, Epistles, and Gospels used at Communion and other services), Baptism, Matrimony, and Burials. It also contains the ordination rites of the Anglican Church. The Book of Common Prayer also includes the offices, services of morning and evening prayer, along with tables for reading through the Bible yearly and Psalms monthly as a part of the offices.

  • Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), Otherwise Known As the Extraordinary Form, Can Seem Confusing, Uncomfortable, and Even Off-Putting to Some
    For many who have grown up in the years following the liturgical changes that followed the Second Vatican Council, the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), otherwise known as the Extraordinary Form, can seem confusing, uncomfortable, and even off-putting to some. What I hope to do in a series of short columns in the bulletin is to explain the mass, step by step, so that if nothing else, our knowledge of the other half of the Roman Rite of which we are all a part, will increase. Also, it must be stated clearly that I, in no way, place the Extraordinary Form above the Ordinary or vice versa. Both forms of the Roman Rite are valid, beautiful celebrations of the liturgy and as such deserve the support and understanding of all who practice the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church. Before I begin with the actual parts of the mass, there are a few overarching details to cover. The reason the priest faces the same direction as the people when offering the mass is because he is offering the sacrifice on behalf of the congregation. He, as the shepherd, standing in persona Christi (in the person of Christ) leads the congregation towards God and towards heaven. Also, it’s important to note that a vast majority of what is said by the priest is directed towards God, not towards us. When the priest does address us, he turns around to face us. Another thing to point out is that the responses are always done by the server. If there is no server, the priest will say the responses himself.

  • The Latin Mass Have Shifted Over Time a Majority of Adult Catholics Express No Opinion on Return of Older Liturgy
    The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate News release Contact: Mark Gray August 24, 2009 202-687-0885 [email protected] Opinions about the Latin Mass have shifted over time A Majority of adult Catholics express no opinion on return of older liturgy Two years ago, Pope Benedict XVI gave permission for the 1962 Roman Rite Mass to be used without a priest first acquiring a bishop’s approval.1 Using the Missal of John XXIII, this Mass is celebrated in Latin with the priest and parishioners facing the same direction toward the altar. It is the last version of the Latin Mass that was first codified following the Council of Trent in the 16th century and is thus often referred to as the Latin Tridentine Mass.2 Parish priests have been instructed by the Pope to work with parishioners when there is a “stable group” who are interested in Latin Mass to provide opportunities for this liturgy to be celebrated regularly under the guidance of their bishop. According to the Mass Times Trust, operators of the popular website, www.masstimes.org, about one in every 250 parishes regularly offer a Mass in Latin in the 117,000 parishes for which listings are available (in more than 200 countries). Although the Mass in Latin is now more widely available, results of a survey conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) indicates that interest is not widespread among adult Catholics in the United States. Instead, it appears that the wider availability of the Latin Mass may have come too late to appeal to the majority of Catholics today who have no memory or experience of this older form of the liturgy.

  • Russia and the Leonine Prayers (1992)
    Russia and the Leonine Prayers (1992) by Rev. Anthony Cekada The Prayers after Low Mass and recent events in Russia AFTER MY ORDINATION to the priesthood in 1977, I followed the lead of other traditional priests in the U.S., and began an- nouncing that the Leonine Prayers — the three Hail Marys, the Salve Regina and the St. Michael prayer recited after Low Mass — were recited “for the conversion of Russia.” Having heard this intention announced for the umpteenth time, a faithful traditional Catholic in a church I serve recently inquired: “Why do we always have to pray for the conversion of Russia? Why can’t we pray for America instead?” It seemed like a fair question. I therefore set out to document what was surely the correct answer: that the Church, responding to Our Lady’s 13 July 1917 request at Fatima, had decreed that the object of these prayers was to obtain Russia’s conversion to the Catholic Faith. End of story — or so I thought. I consulted about 20 standard commentaries on the Mass and encountered something surprising: not one of them stated that the Leonine Prayers were connected with the Fatima Mes- sage. And not one of them said that the object of the prayers was to bring about Russia’s conversion to Catholicism. Having drawn a blank, I turned to a multi-volume work containing the texts of all the laws the Holy See has promulgated since 1917.1 The work contained a number of official decrees on the Leonine Prayers — but none of the decrees tied the prayers to the Fatima Message.
