Prayers before/after Mass in Baronius Missal

[newyorkcatholic]

Hi all,

In the Baronius Missal for the EF there is a set of prayer under “Preparation for Holy Mass.” The include antiphon “Ne reminiscaris”, Pss 83, 84, 85, 115, 129, again the antiphon, 3-fold Kyrie, Pater Noster, and some other prayers, and then recommends Incline, prayer of St. Ambrose, and prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas.

After Mass is given antiphon “Trium puerorum,” with Canticle of Daniel, Ps 150, repeat of antiphon, 3-fold Kyrie, Paster Noster, other prayers, and prayers to the BVM and St. Joseph, and various other prayers afterwards.

My question is, especially for the psalms with antiphons – where did these come from? Did Baronius choose them? Or is there more history behind these particular antiphons and psalms before and after mass? Does the priest say them?

thanks, sorry this is so long

This was the “Preparation for Mass” a Priest was supposed to say privately before and after he celebrated. As well as Altar Missals, they were frequently included in Breviaries. (I don’t know the present discipline in the Ordinary Form.)

Since these were the prayers appointed by the Holy Liturgy itself, could there be better prayers for the faithful to use to prepare and give thanks after Communion?

There are comparable offices in the Byzantine tradition, though of course, the texts of the prayers are different.

Thank you, that’s what I wanted to know! For better or worse my spirituality seems to be very liturgical (as opposed to prolonged silent meditation, or spontaneous prayer, etc, though all those things are wonderful and I try them too). So to know this will encourage me all the more to say them before and after attending Mass, and especially before/after serving!
