The Extended Pentecost Vigil

[AJV]

When the report was made of the new revised edition of the Latin Missale Romanum, there was some interest in the rubrics added for the extended Pentecost Vigil in line with Paschale Solemnitiatis. These were originally done in 1988, and have been slightly modified and included in the Missale Appendix. I’ve typed them out for those interested and they can be viewed here:

…And then restore the Octave and we’ll be all set

“Since I’m travelling, I haven’t had time to translate them which I hope to do eventually.”

I didn’t see these prayers in the 2002 Missale Romanum online. Curious.

Anyway, here’s my translation of rubrics 1-4.1. In churches where the vigil Mass [of Pentecost] is celebrated according to the longer form, this Mass can be celebrated in the following manner.

1. (a) If First Vespers, choral or communal, immediately precedes Mass, the action can begin either after the introductory verse and the hymn Veni, Creator Spiritus or after the Introit chant (Caritas Dei or Dum sanctificatus) with the entrance procession and the greeting of the priest, the penitential rite [sic, should be *actu/act] being omitted in either case. (cf. General Instruction of the Liturgy of the Hours, nn. 94 and 96)

Then follows the Vesper psalmody up until the brief reading, exclusive.

After the psalmody, omitting the penitential act, and, if advisable, the Kyrie, the priest proclaims the prayer.

1. (b) If the Mass begins in the traditional way, then after the Kyrie, the priest proclaims the prayer.

Praesta, quaesumus as in the Vigil Mass, on p. 433.

Then, the priest can address the people with these or similar words:

Having entered into the Vigil of Pentecost, beloved brethren, in imitation of the example of the Apostles and disciples who, with Mary the Mother of Jesus, persisted fervently in prayer, awaiting the Spirit promised by the Lord, with calm and restful heart let us now hearken to the word of God. Let us meditate upon how many great things God has worked for His people and pray, that the Holy Spirit, whom the Father sent as the first-fruits, might bring to perfection his work in the world.

1. Then follows the readings, which are set forth in the Lectionary ad libitum. The lector proceeds to the ambo and proclaims the reading. Afterwards, the psalmist or cantor reads the psalm, with the people making the response. Everyone then stands, the priest says “Let us pray,” and, after all have prayed in silence for some time, he pronounces the prayer responding to the reading.

Hi japhy,
This is the 2008 Editio Typica Tertia Emendata that included a couple of new things. Most of the corrections are corrections of Scripture references, and there are also a lot of rubrical changes as well as well as single words added here and there. It also contains the 3 new formulae for the dismissal, and some other significant changes - like a whole section has been lopped off one of the ‘Swiss Prayers’. I’m preparing a supplement that gives the changes apart from the Scripture and more minor ones so people can update theirs without having to fork over around $300 for the updated version.

If you do get around to translating it before me, could you post it on your blog, and I’ll link to it.

Ah. clerus.org doesn’t have this online yet, then. And my chapel-sized Latin Missal was printed before the new dismissal formulae were finalized, so it’s already out-of-date and obsolete… err, I mean, a collector’s item!

If you do get around to translating it before me, could you post it on your blog, and I’ll link to it.

I should have it done tomorrow.

I just finished the supplement (containing the main prayers added) and am almost done with the errata (aside from the Scripture reference corrections, for which I think I will have to make a table). If you send me your email I can send it to you and you can edit it to print out and fit in your chapel missal.
