Question for Tridentine Mass goers who also attend Novus Ordo Masses

When I have to go to the NO I leave my Missal at home but instead I take my “Christian Warfare” book. It has the TLM but loaded with other prayers and devotions.

I mostly try to pay attention to the Mass but the Warfare comes in handy during the sermons, the infuriating intercessions, Communion, and the High Five of Peace.
🙂 Interesting terminology.

My pastor generally publishes his sermon in the bulletin so you can read it the following week. That reinforces the sermon big time.
 
I don’t like to go to Novus Ordo, it’s too liturgically upsetting to me. Of course it’s valid, but that doesn’t mean I have to go to a Novus Ordo Mass. I instead go to a valid and licit Tridentine Mass.
Well said. That is exactly the way I feel.😉
 
Hello!

I only use my Latin Missal at an EF mass. During the OF mass, I prefer to listen rather than read. My interior prayers are the same for both.

… but I get the best of both worlds and this way have a strong sense that I am participating at THE Mass of the Church - not A Mass!
Exactly. Thank you. 👍

My Daily Roman Missal has English/Latin for the mass prayers (one of the ways I’ve learned my prayers in Latin) AND has all the prayers listed by other posters. I also like it because it has the Catechism teachings for each Sunday. The ABC cycle of readings is such a boon as well. :):)🙂
 
Being a catechumen and never having had the opportunity to attend the Extraordinary Form, I am limited to the Ordinary. Regardless of that, a friend of mine gave me a 1962 Missal to celebrate my conversion, and to honour my love of the ancient, traditional rites. I am extremely grateful to him for this, and when I attend my local O.F. Mass at the Cathedral I only respond to the priest in my heart, using Latin silently. When the priest says “Lord, have Mercy”, I respond “Kyrie, eleison” in quietude. The only time I respond aloud and in English is during the Gloria, though I use the 1962 English translation thereof (i.e. “Peace to men of good will” instead of “Peace to His people on Earth”). This is done only because of my profound love for the Gloria and its immense significance (re: my username). 🙂

Thank you for this subject. It is very interesting to see how we adapt.
 
I attend both. I do use a missal at both, but for the NO, I use the St Josephs Daily Missal (the 2 volume one). Mainly for the day’s readings. Some lectors get tripped up, stutter, etc., so I just read along. If I get there early, I’ll read them before Mass starts.
 
I take my Father Lasance 1943 edition Roman Missal to every Mass, and confession. 😃
 
Mon-Fri, I recite Morning Prayers and assist OF Mass at the residential house of a religious order. The daily Mass is attended by a stable group of religious brothers, priests and lay faithful.

Before Mass begins, I silently recite the Signum Crucis, Psalm 42, Confiteor and Kyrie.

During the Mass, I focus entirely on the prayers, responses and readings of the OF. A Seasonal Missalette is provided for that purpose.

After the final blessing and dismissal, I remain standing and very quietly recite the Last Gospel. I then kneel for the Pater Noster, Ave Maria, Minor Doxology, Fatima Prayer, Salva Regina and Signum Crucis.

Although I normally recite the Latin prayers from memory, I keep a cheat-sheet in my Christian Prayer book as backup. I leave the 62 Missal in the car.
 
Remember the rules for discussing the mass. You may not pit one form of the mass against the other. They are both valid, licit and holy.

If your post suggests that the one is not licit or holy, it will be deleted. If you post such a thing again, you will be suspended.

You may discuss your preference and your reasons.

You may explain that the behavior of individuals concerns you or bothers you. That’s legitimate.

You may speak of how beautiful you find one form or the other. That too is legitimate.

You should always share your spiritual growth and experience with others. That’s an act of charity and it is edifying.

You may describe something unpleasant that you found in one form or the other. That happens.

You may not contradict what is Church teaching. Both forms are holy, licit, and valid. If you do not like that or do not believe it, think it but don’t post it.

Thank You

I do not get to the EF that often. I’m both a lector and an EMHC at my NO parish. Happily, I am in one of the ‘good’ NO parishes.

That said, I carry my Magnifact with me in my purse, and my 1962 missal and white lace mantilla are in my glove box with all my other ‘emergency supplies’.

Praise be to His Awesomeness B16 for helping the TLM spread! I travel a lot and have been able to attend the daily EF in certain cities.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
 
I bring my Tridentine missal to Mass whenever I can, regardless of the “form” of the Mass. On the rare occasions when I don’t have a babe in arms (who delights in eating my missal), I very much enjoy reading the familiar prayers and devotions surrounding the Mass. That said, at daily OF Mass, I usually just listen and participate with prayer and a mishmash of English/Latin responses.
 
No! I had never thought of doing that. Even when I thought, ‘What’s that prayer I usally say after Communion?’ That probably would NEVER had occured to me. …I’m probably still not going to bring it, though.
I do not generally bring the Missal itself, but I do bring a devotional book called Blessed be God. It contains the entire Traditional Mass in it but is not technically a Missal. It has a number of devotions, novenas. prayers, litanies and meditations in it. The N.O Masses that I attend are fairly conservative from what I have seen, and always have a rosary afterwards…
AND, now that you mention this, I do carry a book in my purse all the time “Favorite Indulged Prayers” or something like that. There’s probably a few in there appropriate (because sadly, that 3 month missalette in the pews isn’t that rich with various prayers in the back.)
 
I do take mine with me to the OF, which I usually attend. I pray the Last Gospel and Leonine prayers silently after Mass.

Actually, someone who is familiar with the EF could very easily recognize the ordinary prayers of the Latin OF and vice versa. I think the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Suscipiat, Sanctus, Pater Noster, and the Sanctus are the same. Even the Latin EP1 is very similar to the EF Canon.
