Great advice and I second this.

Take a close look at the prayers, especially the Judica me (psalm 42) in the beginning, and the prayers of the Offertory. Another profound spot to closely follow are the prayers of the priest as he Communicates.

You will notice that before he turns and presents our Lord, “Ecce Angus Dei…” (This is the Lamb of God…), he first receives the Body and Blood of Christ. Typically you are singing or hearing the Angus Dei being sung when he does this. Then, he turns and presents our Lord to the people at which time they respond three times with “Domine non su dignus…” (Lord I am not worthy…)

Take your time and don’t try to figure it all out in one Sunday.

Also, there are many missals out there. Some do a very nice job of explaining, in the sidebars, added details of what is going on. You can go into their giftshop and peruse the various ones they have.

God bless!

Actually I just found out the parish I was going to attend was FSSP is that a schism group. It’s listed on the Archdiocese website.

The FSSP, or the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter is in complete union with Rome and is a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right founded with the approval of His Holiness Pope John Paul II in 1988, for the formation and sanctification of priests in the framework of the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite and their pastoral deployment in the service of the Church.

Perhaps you are confusing them with the Society of St. Pius X, or SSPX, which is in schism.

If it’s on there, it’s kosher.

I had the same reaction to the other group mentioned around here yesterday…ICK. So, I googled it up really quick and quickly found some mention of the archdiocese and that was all I needed.

Yeah, it is tough when it is in an unintelligible language.
Try English. At least you know what they are saying.

Thanks, I have a question however, should I get a Missal book or just enjoy it the first couple times, and get one later, or will the parish most likely have one, this may be an unnecessary question, as I will call them today, however just in case I forget.

There aren’t any “Modernists” around of the Pius X variety. The oath against Modernism has been dispensed with. That’s another SSPX bugaboo.

“Faith comes by hearing” according to St. Paul. If it is in your own language, you don’t need a book. Just listen. If you can’t hear, ask the Pastor to spend some money on improving the acoustic system.

“Faith comes from hearing”.

wow, someone doesn’t like Latin- the language of the Church.

I suggest a reading of Veterum Sapientia, written by Pope John XXIII (yes John XXIII of the Vatican II) - It’ll help you to appreciate this beautiful and important language.

And faith can come from hearing Latin!

Derbingo, no trolling please. Until you butted in this was a very courteous thread.

There’s nothing “unintelligible” about Latin.

If you are going to go so far as to call the language unintelligible, you would probably do well to actually learn a bit of it. 👍

And from Derbingo:
It can only come from hearing if you understand LATIN

It’s unfortunate that you would take this thread down a rabbit hole. But, since you have…

English is on the facing page in the hand missal.

The “unintelligible language” you speak of, was the same language heard by saints going back many centuries. Just think, St. Teresa of Avila did not understand Latin. Yet, she received the graces from assisting at Mass.

We can probably list many other saints.

Even if a Mass is entirely in the vernacular, it does not mean that one has even a clue what is going on. Yet, someone who understands not a word of Latin may have a good understanding of what is taking place.

Treads are cuurteous until someone disagrees with you

Rabbit Hole?. Trolling? Sounds like Dustin’s Dad.

Alright, I think this Easter will be my first TLM that I will attend. I have decided to try out St. John Cantius. I have some more questions before I go:

Should I go on Easter for my first TLM? Or could that be more confusing for me?

Are Mass times normal on Easter Sunday? Their High Mass is at 12:30 pm on Sundays, could that change? And how long would the Easter Mass be?

Do people usually take the Eucharist kneeling with the tongue out? I want to try kneeling with my tongue out to give the Eucharist more reverence. Oh, and how does one kneel?

And is wearing khakis and a nice short sleeve shirt appropriate?

This will be my first TLM ever and I’m a a little nervous since I’m going alone.
 
Thanks, holdencaulfield! I that site is a great help!

I ended up missing Easter Mass. I want to go to TLM tomorrow but the scedule says that the High Mass at 12:30 is for children making their First Communion, Quasimodo Sunday it is called.

Can anyone go to that Mass or is for just those children’s family?

I need an answer ASAP.
