TLM Goers: Does Your Parish Have a Second Confiteor before Communion?

[TrueLight]

I just realized that I started this thread and never answered my own question.

My TLM Parish - FSSP - has the Second Confiteor (actually as has been pointed out, the Third Confiteor). I like the practice as it, along with the Dominie, non sum dignus, reminds us of our unworthiness to receive Christ in the Eucharist apart from his grace.

Do the congregants join in at the Domine non sum dignus, when it is said the second time? I know it is said at diocesan TLMs that I have been to, but not at the FSSP parish.

Gee, I forgot whether we join in or not. I do know that we strike our breasts and that the priest says the whole thing audibly.

I guess next time I go to the TLM, I’ll have to look out for that.

Yes, at North American Martyr’s we join in the Domine, non sum dignus. I used to have a hard time saying it but with practice I can now keep up with the cradle Catholics.

Yeah. I’ve memorized it now. Amazing. It seemed such a tongue twister before.

I used to say Sanabitur and Sanibatur and Sanbiatur. Ha ha.

And I thought I was the only one going through this! I usually get tongue tied and lag behind right at the… sed tantum dic verbo, et sanabitur anima mea.

An interesting grammatical point here. The Latin “dic verbo” sounds a little funny if translated as an ablative “speak with the word” for example but usually translated in English as “say the word” as though its “dic verbum.”

The Greek supposedly doesn’t use the accusative either.

Carry on.

This cradle Catholic still can’t say the Dominie, non sum dignus.

But I’ll get there some day!

Speaking of the Confiteor, however, a scene in the 1940s movie Christmas Holiday in which we hear the entire Third Confiteor being said at a Midnight Mass: youtube.com/watch?v=QJ1jIIl8IaY

I also remember the old Rite of Communion taking place near the beginning of The Godfather, Part II including - you guessed it - the Dominie, non sum dignus.

At my Latin mass, the right-before-communion Confiteor and absolution/cross is done. I never even noticed it wasn’t in the missal before this thread! I’ve always wondered what the priest said there.

As far as the Domine prayer, it is not said by the laity during low mass, only during high/sung mass. And what do I do? “Domine non sum dignus ***In my head: *lordIamnotworthytoreceiveyouundermyroof butonlysaythewordandIshallbehealed]. …” Because that’s all of the prayer I know. I’m a bad Latin masser. Everyone says it too fast for me to be able to read it aloud with everyone. Besides, I’d rather spend the time adoring the host being held by the priest - He knows what is in my heart for Him.

Here’s my other Missal Mystery I’d love to have answered: At the Collects, there’s a small paragraph in the mass readings, and then the priest goes on … and on … and on. Where is he getting the readings? I have both the Angelus and Baronius missal, so if anyone has an answer, I’m all ears!
