Traditional Latin Mass in a small parish

[PassthePeace1]

Thanks for all the responses, so far.

I should have called this thread “TLM 101” or “TLM for Newbs.” (The latter would be the current favorite lingo 16yo , who btw is also interested in the TLM, as I have described it thusfar to him.)

I have enjoyed your questions!! Keep asking!! I am learning with you…

In the TLM can laity read the first and second readings, like they do in the NO?

This site here is an excellent resource for information on the Tridentine Mass, inlcuding detailed descriptions of the Sanctuary, vestments, and the actions of the priest and parts of the Mass, with over 70 photos. Warning: this site is sedevacantist, however I have only found a couple pages where these ideas are pushed, and not in any of the descriptions of the Mass.

No. It is either priest read both, or one who has received the order of lector chant the Epistle and the priest the Gospel, or subdeacon the Epistle and deacon the Gospel.

With a few exceptions, there is usually only one reading and the Gospel in a Traditional Mass. Like a NO daily Mass.

Nope. At Low Mass, the priest says all the readings; at Sung Mass, the priest chants the readings; at Solemn Mass, the Subdeacon chants the Epistle and the Deacon chants the Gospel.

Nor are there two readings. There is the Epistle and the Gospel.

Nope. Sorry, Caeser. Now that I know I must avoid Michaelangelo, Mozart and Bach; I certainly must avoid a sedevacanist site.

I have opened it, and it looks very well done…thanks.

Okay. I have read it, and it is very helpful.

Does anyone know the liturgical history and/or origin of the responses being done by the server(s) on behalf of the faithful? Why don’t the faithful respond?

This practice came into being in the early middle ages. Throughout the Mass, the servers represent the faithful, the people of God.

I’ll go out on a limb and say it developed as less and less people spoke Latin.

Ahem When I first heard of it, I thought it sounded a bit like the punishments they dole out over here if they catch you eating during Ramadan- pop you in jail and shave your head.

But one of the mystical interpretations is that it represents the crown of thorns. This is taken from one of the prayers used in conferring it.

I saw a tonsured Franciscan in the airport today. First time I have seen someone outside of the movies with it. And, only a few days after discussing it on this thread…coincidence? :ehh: I didn’t get a chance to ask him if it was painful…
