Eucharistic Pray I Left Out of Missal

[BernadetteM]

I was attending a secular awards ceremony for my granddaughter and it was held within the church. They had a very large parish hall. I don’t know if holding secular ceremonies are allowed by most parishes, but mine would never allow this.

There was no respect shown to our Blessed Lord because most of the people were not Catholic.

While sitting there I looked througt the Missalette and it didn’t have Eucharistic Prayer I.

I thought that all missals would contain all four of the choices for the Roman Canon.

This parish was very modern, the “table” had a blue suede covering on it. I have never seen anything like this in any other church. I really can’t call it an altar, it was made of rod iron, as were most of the other religious figures.

I guess my main question is, is it appropriate not to include all of the Eucharistic prayers in a pew missal?

As long as the sanctuary is inaccessible or curtained off and the tabernacle is empty. The statues and icons would also have to be veiled.

Neither was done. The tabernacle was to the side of the table/altar and the red candle was lit.

My grandson bowed to the front and I told him that when a red candle is lit and he can see the tabernacle he should genuflect. I know that at his parish the tabernacle is out of sight. All of my grand kids go to Catholic school and they have been told not to receive on the tongue, although two of them want to. Their parish is also very modern, it is very difficult to find a statue, but I think there might be one.

It is sad when children are not given a choice or taught that the only way they can receive the Host is in the hand. This is not the first parish/school that taught this. It is apparent to me that children can be taught reverence at a young age.

God Bless

The FSSP parish I have been too also doesn’t have a lot of statues. So before blaming modernism on the lack of statues, think again.

Anyway, we’re going OT a bit. I don’t know why Eucharistic Prayer I is not in the Missal. Have you made sure it wasn’t torn out in the one you had? Or maybe it was a printing error.

=============

Depending on the publisher of the Missalette, they print any or all of the Eucharistic Prayers. Some churches have the Eucharist in a separate chapel OR not reserved at all if it is a “mission” church- that is no daily Mass or resident priest. ++++++++
As to the Missalettes the congregation - unless one has difficulty hearing should not be reading- do you bring a script to a concert, film or opera or play? LISTENING is an art we do not use much
Prayer and Eucharist are the best places to practice and learn how.

But if the OP’s comment is true that the parish has a large parish hall, then shouldn’t these things be done there? I can see if you’re in a tiny country parish or something, but if there’s a parish hall, why not use it?

I do agree with you though about what should be done if you must use the church.

Yes, usually I do, and I am happy if they give enough light to follow the scrips/notes. Some people perceive best through their ear, some through their eyes, again others through their action. Each group has right to participate in the Mass.

As for the original question if only the Roman Canon is left out, and the others are there that is a wrong, but based on the unfortunate fact that some priests never recite the Roman Canon, as the tradition would be sinful.

However there are missalettes which print only the part what is prayed by the people, and may be the lectionary, so no canons at all. The idea behind that is, that those who want to follow visually by reading the Mass buy their own hand missals anyway.

There is no provision that says “only if you do not have a parish hall”. What it says that if the church is to be used for a non-Catholic purpose, then that must be done.
