Traditional Latin Mass

MISSAL

Latin-English Ordinary
of the Mass of the Roman Rite, 1962
FOREWORD

The 1962 Solemn Mass of the Latin Rite expresses the fullness of Catholic worship, the fruit of 2000
years of organic liturgical development. It is the "normative" Mass for Sundays and Feast Days for
Traditional Latin Mass Catholics.

This Mass booklet is aimed to assist the faithful to participate fully in Solemn Mass. It is traditional for
the faithful to observe the ritual gestures and chants as shown in this booklet. At key places during the
ritual one should stand, bow, kneel, sit, process, genuflect, strike one's breast, cross one's self, and sing.

It is also expected that the faithful assist the Choir or the Schola, by singing and chanting all the
responses as indicated, as well as the Kyrie, the Gloria, the Creed, the Sanctus, the Agnus Dei, and the
Ite missa est, which are found in a book of chants known as the Kyriale. Many of the faithful know these
Gregorian chants for most Masses. Many hand Missals have a Kyriale supplement. A number of
members of the congregation have their own Liber Usualis (a complete book of liturgical chants).

The faithful, who have a Liber, may also assist the Choir or the Schola by singing the Introit, Alleluia
and Communion of the Proper of the Mass, and join in traditional Latin hymns sung during the Offertory
or Communion, or during Benediction, or during a Litany, for example.

This booklet may also be used for Low Mass. In which case, the Asperges is omitted, there is no
chanting nor singing, and the responses during the prayers at the foot of the altar are made by the
servers. The Leonine prayers have been included for use at the end of Low Mass.

At most places where there is a Latin Mass there are also leaflets of the Proper prayers of the day, and
perhaps a Kyriale booklet.

Please take a sheet containing the Proper of the Mass for today.

Please return both this booklet and the sheet after Mass.

Then he holds out the Chalice to the server -- in
Solemn Masses to the deacon -- who pours wine
into it for the first ablution, then the priest
proceeds:
May Thy Body, O Lord, which I have received,
and Thy Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my
bowels; and grant that no stain of sin may
remain in me, who have been fed with this pure

The priest then washes his fingers and receives
