I was at Mass recently and when the priest elevated the host after the consecration he chanted a short prayer, and did the same thing when he elevated the chalice. Surely this is illicit?

At the parish I grew up in, there was a priest from Nigeria (I think) who, at weekday Masses, would sing/chant a devotional song during the elevations. Yes, they’re illicit, however good the intentions might be. There are other times when such singing can be done in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.

Maybe find out of the priest is biritual and if there is something chanted during their consecration. Sometimes priests of smaller Eastern communities would get biritual faculties so they can help out the local diocese and also earn stipend for himself which the community he is serving may be small enough to give him enough to cover living expenses.At the parish I grew up in, there was a priest from Nigeria (I think) who, at weekday Masses, would sing/chant a devotional song during the elevations.

Does a bi-ritual priest (say, Ruthenian-Roman) have permission to incorporate Ruthenian elements into his celebration of the Roman Rite, and vice-versa? Or are you suggesting that he accidentally “lapsed” into his other Rite at that moment?Maybe find out of the priest is biritual and if there is something chanted during their consecration.

Its possible he lapsed into his original Rite if he is indeed biritual. Remember that its rare that a Latin priest is biritual, its usually an Eastern priest who is granted biritual facultues to help out in the larger Latin diocese. So his tendencies, his instinct is geared towards the Eastern practices. For all we know he just learned the Mass a few years back.Does a bi-ritual priest (say, Ruthenian-Roman) have permission to incorporate Ruthenian elements into his celebration of the Roman Rite, and vice-versa?

It doesn’t make it right or acceptable, but at least from our perspective we understand where the priest is coming from.

He’s not a biritual priest, interestingly it’s the exact same thing that japhy described, but on Sundays.

“Jesus, Jesus / Jesus in the morning / Jesus in the noontime / Jesus, Jesus / Jesus when the sun goes down.”
“Praise Him, praise Him / Praise Him in the morning / …”
“Thank Him, thank Him / Thank Him in the morning / …”
“O come let us adore Him / O come let us adore Him / O come let us adore Him / Christ the Lord.”
He’d do two of those: one after the elevation of the Host, the other after the elevation of the Chalice.

Reminds me of the last RC pastor I had. He had this song he sings always, “Thank you, thank you Jesus. Thank you, thank you, Jesus.” Even on weekday Mass when there’s no choir, he’d likely lead the congregation to sing that at the end of the Mass.The songs I remember the priest singing were things like…
