Mass of the 1962 Roman Missal

[CollegeKid]

Why do we so often refer to the TLM as the “Mass of the 1962 Roman Missal”? Did it have some changes in it that it hadn’t had in previous years or something?

From what I can remember, the people (instead of just the altar boys) began to respond to the priest. E.g. Priest: Dominus vobiscum. Congregation: Et cum spiritu tuo. I got my 1962 Missal in 1963 when I was confirmed - still have it actually. So, if I remember correctly, the laity responded to the Kyrie, the Dominus Vobiscums, the Gospel Acclamation (Laus tibi, Domine), but to be totally honest with you I was an altar boy so I routinely said the Confiteor, Gloria, Sanctus, Pater Noster, and Agnus Dei. I very seldom went to a Mass when I was not serving. SENIOR MOMENT! I just don’t remember. Maybe someone a little older than me can respond.

I attend a TLM every Sunday at materecclesiae.org.

The reason for the TLM referred to as the “Mass of the 1962” is due to the indult granted by Pope John Paul II for permission to offer Mass according to the Tridentine rite.

The 1962 Missal had modifications to the rites of Holy Week and also omission of the confiteor before Holy Communion. There may be other changes I do not remember. Most likely someone else will respond here who knows.

The “dialogue” mass started during the reign of Pius XI. It was up to each bishop to allow it in his diocese. We used it in Oklahoma in the late 1950s if I remember correctly.

The confiteor always came before the Epistle and just after the Kyrie. Do you mean the Credo? Unfortunately my missal is at work - I still use the prayers at the back of the missal. If memory serves there is an introduction which may provide us all some enlightenment.

I think St. Joseph was also added to the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer), but I could be wrong, that could have been added before the Missal of 62.

In the Missal that preceeded the 1962 Missal the altar boys prayed aloud the confiteor AGAIN after the communion of the priest and the priest responded aloud and then turned with the ciborium and faced the people holding up one of the Hosts saying the Ecce Agnus Dei…"

Before the 1962 Missal there were two confiteors…One where you indicate and another after the communion of the priest.

St Joseph was added to the Roman Canon in the Missal of 1962 also. In previous editions he was not in the Canon. He was added by Pope John XXIII
