    Vigil of Epiphany

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULUM, WDTPRS — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 7:53 pm
    Here is a link to my WDTPRS article on the Vigil of Epiphany.

    A snip:

    ... in the 2002 editio typica of the Missale Romanum there is now a new Vigil Mass with its own texts. There was no Vigil in the earlier editions. Since we have never examined these new Vigil prayers, we can look at all three and find out what they really say.

    COLLECT (2002MR) “in Vigilia
    Corda nostra, quaesumus, Domine,
    tuae maiestatis splendor illustret,
    quo mundi huius tenebras transire valeamus,
    et perveniamus ad patriam claritatis aeternae.

    Who would like to take a shot at this?

    PRAYERCAzT 16: Epiphany - 1962 Missale Romanum

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULUM, PRAYERCAzT: What Does The (Latin) Prayer Really Sound L — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 5:38 pm

    Welcome to another installment of What Does the Prayer Really Sound Like? 

    Today we will hear the prayers for the feast of Epiphany in the 1962 Missale Romanum.  I speak all the prayers and readings and sing the Preface for Epiphany in the solemn tone, and also sing the Collect and Post Communion in the solemn tone.

    If priests who are learning to say the older form of Holy Mass can get these prayers in their ears, they will be able to pray them with more confidence. So, priests are my very first concern. 

    However, these audio projects can be of great help to lay people who attend Holy Mass in the Traditional, or extraordinary form: by listening to them ahead of time, and becoming familiar with the sound of the before attending Mass, they will be more receptive to the content of the prayers and be aided in their full, conscious and active participation.

    My pronunciation of Latin is going to betray something of my nationality, of course. Men who have as their mother tongue something other than English will sound a little different.  However, we are told that the standard for the pronunciation of Latin in church is the way it is spoken in Rome.  Since I have spent a lot of time in Rome, you can be pretty sure my accent will not be too far off the mark.

      I deliver them at a slower pace than I would ordinarily during Mass.  But hopefully the pace will help you hear the words a little more clearly.

    If this was useful to you, let your priest friends know this resource is available.  And kindly make a little donation using the donation button on the left side bar of the blog or or by clicking here.  This is a labor of love, but those donations really help.  And don’t forget to check out the PODCAzTs!

    Pray for me, listen carefully, and practice practice practice.

    Sources (in USA) for items necessary for the TLM

    CATEGORY: SESSIUNCULUM — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 9:06 am
    I received this email from the Facebook group dedicated to bringing the TLM to Franciscan University:

     

    Dear Members of the Dom Gueranger Society,

     The Chapel is in URGENT need of lists of available materials for the celebration of the Tridentine Mass. If ANYONE has readily available sources where various vestments (cassock, surplice, maniple, etc.) or other implements (candlesticks, chalice veils, etc.) could be borrowed or procured, PLEASE let met know ASAP. The chapel is prepared to buy some things, but if there are any cheaper or free sources, please let me know. The chapel needs such a list VERY SOON, as a formal report on the subject is being drawn up as we speak. Thanks for your help.

    Could we actually get, in response to Summorum Pontificum, the classical liturgy at a university that proclaims such staunch obedience to the Holy Father.
