Quick question about the TLM

[paul11b]

I was just wondering what the priest says when he puts the Eucharist on your tongue during the EF of mass. Also, what does it mean in English?

“Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternum. Amen.”

May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Christ guard your soul unto eternal life. Amen.

“Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternum. Amen.”

May the Body of Our Lord Jesus Chris guard your soul unto eternal life. Amen.

Is it possible they shorten it to Corpus Domini Nostri? I can never hear it very well because I am not up front, but sometimes it seems to be a short phrase.

Corpus Domini nostri Jesu Christi custodiat animam tuam in vitam aeternam. Amen.
The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ preserve thy soul unto life everlasting. Amen.

Ok that wasn’t from the 1962 missal, because I had Blessed Be God ( 1925) sitting on my desk so I just looked in it instead of going in the other room to get my 1962. Should be the same though.

I think they say it so fast and so many times that they only try to make the first few words audible, but they do say the whole thing. Mos tof the Priests I know say the whole thing audibly though.

I have never come across that usage but often the priest is hard pressed to say the whole (relatively long) phrase to each communicant so he tends to slur the part after “Corpus Domini nostri.” YMMV

Just recently someone reported that they went to a traditional Mass and received Holy Communion from a priest who just said “Corpus Christi”.

For the last several years, I have heard multiple reports of diocesan priests trying to introduce transitional Missal practices from the 1964-1967 like that into the traditional Mass. Before the recent document Universae Ecclesiae, they could plausibly claim that such alteration is permitted, but we now know with certainty that it is not.

yea, but the Summorum Pontificum states the EF is to be prayed per the 1962 Missal

I’ve got an old missal insert around here somewhere with the 1964 changes. It is mostly about more responses by the laity iirc.

Nope, they could never have plausiby claimed that. The EF, and before that, the indult, always meant Mass from the 1962 missal, unless the Holy See had specifically provided otherwise.

This was a 1964-1965 change.
