In Rome on Sundays Holy Mass is celebrated with the 1962 Missale Romanum at the Church of Gesù e Maria on the Via del Corso. Here are a few images.
Dominus vobiscum…
And now for the shot of the day…
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Ooohhhhhhhh, Father! They are all beautiful, but that last one is breathtaking. Gratias!
I gotta ask now. The lighting – where was that light coming from? That’s what makes it so stunning.
Father, Father, Father…
Have mercy on our poor souls. ;)
Dearest Father, thank you for gracing us all with such beautiful images especially the final Eucharistic image. Ave verum Corpus!
Wow, did you take those? Amazing images.
That last one – it gave me shivers – copyright it at once.
I think it captures the “mystery” better than any words, English or Latin.
Ave Verum Corpus – indeed the best name for this photo.
Let’s pray for the Universal Indult!
The Tridentine Mass is wonderful!
Father: The last photo looks like a Caravaggio.
Father: I just have to add my comment to the others…rarely have I seen such beautiful photographs!!! Their beauty is spiritual as well as temporal. Thank you!!!
That last one is breathtaking! Where was that light coming from?
Priceless!
Magnificent, dear Father! Bravissimo!
Sidney: you wrote: “The Tridentine Mass is wonderful!”
It sure is. However, the photo of the priest giving Holy Communion could very well have been taken at a Novus Ordo Mass. There is nothing especially “Tridentine” about it. As a matter of fact, you could probably take it any Sunday at my home parish back in St. Paul where the Novus Ordo is used. They even have precisely the same vestments at St. Agnes, green, same material, made here in Rome. Many of the women wear chapel veils and the servers use patens for Communion.
Father, I live in Brazil, and here we can’t see that anymore, we don’t have
vestments like that, the women don’t use chapels veils, the servers don’t
use patens for Communion! So, for me it’s more Tridentine than the
Missale Romanum of 1962!
Thank you for the photos, and if I go to St. Paul sometime in the future, I’ll
take a mass at St. Agnes…
Beautiful photographs
Father – may I please post that last one on my blog with a link back to this post?
It’s stunning!
Question: Who is the priest offering this Mass? Just curious.
Father, you have some wonderful pictures on this blog. Is there some way you can make them available in higher resolution for us? Please?
Is the priest in the photograph a lesser prelate? I wonder why he is wearing a red-coloured insert on the cuffs of his alb.
Yes beautiful photographs. I would love to see another series with the celebrant wearing very ample vestments.
