Hey all,
If there is only one server at the EF Mass, does the priest still say the second person plural pronouns during the Confiteor and other sections where it is used? Or does he use the 2nd persond singular ones?
What about if it is the only the priest and the server, or only the priest and one person in the congregation?

Example: “Misereatur vestri omnipotens Deus, […] perducat vos ad vitam aeternam” vs “Misereatur te omnipotens Deus, […] perducat te ad vitam aeternam”
 
I’m pretty sure it stays the same. The server is responding on behalf of the congregation so regardless if there is one or two servers the Priest is still, in the case of the confiteor, forgiving more than one person of their sins.

I don’t think the rubrics take into account mass attendance in this case. But I could be wrong.
 
The Priest’s Confiteor is answered by the server “Misereatur tui…”, the servers’ is answered with “Misereatur vestri…” and the Indulgentiam refers to “nostrorum”, us.
If the third Confiteor is said (by the server before communion) the Priest says the Indulgentiam with “vestrorum”, you.
