Hey all,

I apologize that this thread is a bit similar to another I started a while back in the apologetics forum. However, that one didn’t quite give me much of what I needed, so I’m trying something more specific here.

Does anyone have reliable addresses for where the following can be accessed (in English) online:

Lectionary
Sacramentary
Appendix to the General Instructions for the Dioceses of the United States

Thanks!
 
why do you want a sacramentary?
thats the big book on the altar for the priest, with most all of the rites for the masses. unless you want to learn over 2000 pages of mass formulas?
some churches won’t even let you near it because it’s
been consecrated. all the altar items are.

I know what that big book on the altar for the priest, the sacramentary, is, and I don’t want one (I asked for a link to an online version). Nor do I want to go near the consecrated one at church (again, I asked for a link to an online version) or learn 2000 pages of mass formulas.

But am I missing something here? Whether or not an online version is available, is there some reason that a lay person such as myself would have to justify asking for a link to an online version?

Perhaps you didn’t mean for the e-mail to come across the way it did, but I get so tired of posting a simple question in the forums and having to justify it to all sorts of people who, instead of just answering my question, want to explore motives and express opinions about the validity of the question.

However, for what it’s worth, I’m trying to compile a list of official online resources for Catholics, lay and otherwise, to use for purposes of apologetics or for defending the liturgy at their home parish (this being the purpose of the Sacramentary). Should someone read, for instance, Jimmy Akin’s book Mass Confussion, and see a reference to the Sacramentary, it would be nice to be able to go online and read the quote in context. Should someone feel, for instance, that his priest is deviating from a prescribed formula, an online version would help to shed light on that issue.

I apologize if I read you the wrong way here. Your question sounded a bit patronizing (considering you know nothing about me, my qualifications, background, or current projects), but I know that tone doesn’t carry well in these threads.

no sweat, I just say that because most people don’t know what it is. I have never seen one online, but
you are welcome to use ours at: tsgc.dyndns.org
when it is up, it’s a html version of the 1975 roman sacramentary done by the pauline sisters. we are a order of worker priest and have it online incase one of us needs it out in the field and don’t have a missal or a hard copy with us. those sisters are a god sent.
lectionarys are online all over, but not this book.

enjoy.

Thanks Fr. Corey,

Sorry for my abruptness earlier. Today is hay-hauling day and I didn’t get a nap, so I’m afraid I took it out on you. God bless.
 
I am not aware of a website with the whole Roman Missal (sometimes called the “Sacramentary”). But a lot of its prayers can be found at canticanova.com/pln_main.htm .

The 2002 General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) (approved for the USA) is at usccb.org/liturgy/current/revmissalisromanien.shtml . It can be difficult to find a particular paragraph number, so I have set up links with the numbers at romanrite.com/girm.html .

The introductions to lots of the official liturgical books (including the Lectionary) are available from catholic-ew.org.uk/liturgy/Resources/index.html .

Fr Corey: I don’t want to hijack this thread, but if you could just give me a quick answer…what is the independent catholic movement ?? I won’t respond - don’t want to create a whole new thing here, but just a brief explanation is fine. Thank you
