I did not know that this saying was used by Life Teen. Unfortunately this was by a priest saying Mass in a convent.

It is still wrong, regardless if it’s at LifeTeen or in a convent.

😛 You don’t have to tell me it’s wrong… believe me I know (I think it’s worse that it happens in a convent). I was just surprised LifeTeen has their own version of a Mass :rolleyes: (never been to one) The priest we have is old and I was wondering if maybe that is where he picked up the saying.
 
We have one decon who always says something like “The mass is ended, let us go in the peace and love of Christ to seve the lord and each other.” 🤷

As I recall, on the stage that is called padding your part. 😃
 
Just recently went to Mass where a Franciscan priest ended with “The Mass has ended let us go to be peacemakers in the world” :rolleyes:
 
My family usually doesn’t attend the Roman rite novus ordo, but the past few times we have, we’ve noticed that the priest does not say “The Mass is ended, go in peace.” Has this been removed from the Liturgy? It’s happened in a few different churches. My husband originally thought it was because we were in a sort of “St. Suburbia” type parish - very lackluster, but now that it’s been happening for a while, we’re starting to get very confused.

Does anyone know?

Thanks, and blessed Lent,
Masha
 
Well it happens in my (N.O.) church. So I don’t know why it’s not happening in your church :confused:

It’s one of two reasons:
it can be changed, so the priest changed it or
it’s a liturgical abuse.

I couldn’t tell you though. Sorry.
 
this thread discusses the changes to the Mass which have been approved, and provides links to the bishop’s website where you can review all the changes

I don’t know how long it will take for new books and worship aids to be printed, or exactly when these are supposed to be implemented, maybe your priest jumped the gun.
 
My St.Joseph Missal has three foms of Dismissal after the;(A)Simple form(B)Solemn blessing(CPrayer over the people.A=Go in the peace of Christ.B=The Mass is ended,go in peace.C=Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.Responce=Thanks be to God.Hope this helps.

I guess the “spirit of Vatican II” just doesn’t quit. Even the thought of that pronouncement sends me into sugar-shock. :eek:
 
Oh, wow. I didn’t know there were other options. I can’t remember exactly what he said, but I’m going to assume it was one of the approved options until the next time we’re at that church, then I’ll bring the list and compare!

Thanks for you help everyone.

Blessings,
Masha

At the closing of Mass when I hear that sentence it is not hard to figure out what the priest is saying. It is a very simple sentence. We have a priest in our Diocese who, on occasion, will close the Mass with “The Eucharist is ended, go in peace.” I really have no idea what he is trying to say. Anyone out there have any ideas on this?

Does HE know what he is saying? I have never heard that in all my years! The word ‘Mass’ comes from the words near the end of the old Tridentine (Latin) Mass: “Ite, Missa Est.” - “Go; it is the dismissal.”
What he is basically saying is, “The dismissal is ended; go in peace.” :getholy::getholy:
 
In the northeast the most common ending to Mass is: “The Mass has ended, go in peace to love and serve the Lord.”
It is so common that to stop at “go in peace” would leave most people without a response since they would be waiting for the rest of it. Is it technically correct? No. But its so widespread that its pointless to fight against it around these parts…

Ironically, it’s also the most theologically sound instruction with which to end the mass. Which is part of its frequent use, despite being technically off script. And none of the words themselves are off script.

It’s also the ending of my childhood memories… might it be from the transitional missal?
