1962Missal:
Okay, so what about the Last Gospel after Concluding Rites?
The GIRM does not indicate that the ministers must leave the sanctuary after the So, then, the Mass is ended and it goes:
P: Dominus vobiscum.
S: Et cum spiritu tuo.
P: + Initium sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem…
Where is the abuse?
Justin
Even before the new Missal, the Last Gospel and the Leonine prayers are addressed in
Inter Oecumenici
This should answer some of your other questions re: the Canon and prayers at the foot of the Altar.
I. ORDO MISSAE (SC art. 50)
- Until reform of the entire *Ordo Missae, *the points that follow are to be observed:a. The celebrant is not to say privately those parts of the Proper sung or recited by the choir or the congregation.
b. The celebrant may sing or recite the parts of the Ordinary together with the congregation or choir.
**c. In the prayers at the foot of the altar at the beginning of Mass Psalm 42 is omitted. All the prayers at the foot of the altar are omitted whenever there is another liturgical rite immediately preceding. **
d. In solemn Mass the subdeacon does not hold the paten but leaves it on the altar.
e.
In sung Masses the secret prayer or prayer over the gifts is sung and in other Masses recited aloud.
f. The doxology at the end of the canon, from Per ipsum through
Per omnia saecula saeculorum. R. Amen, is to be sung or recited aloud. Throughout the whole doxology the celebrant slightly elevates the chalice with the host, omitting the signs of the cross, and genuflects at the end after the Amen response by the people.
g. In recited Masses the congregation may recite the Lord’s Prayer in the vernacular along with the celebrant; in sung Masses the people may sing it in Latin along with the celebrant and, should the territorial ecclesiastical authority have so decreed, also in the vernacular, using melodies approved by the same authority.
h. The embolism after the Lord’s Prayer shall be sung or recited aloud.
i. The formulary for distributing holy communion is to be, Corpus Christi. As he says these words, the celebrant holds the host slightly above the ciborium and shows it to the communicant, who responds: Amen, then receives communion from the celebrant, the sign of the cross with the host being omitted.
j. The last gospel is omitted; the Leonine Prayers are suppressed.
k. It is lawful to celebrate a sung Mass with only a deacon assisting.
l. It is lawful, when necessary, for bishops to celebrate a sung Mass following the form used by priests.
