I use the 1962 Missal for private devotion and try to attend the Tridentine Mass whenever possible. I also attend the Novus Ordo mass quite regularly. Though I love traditional Catholicism, I don’t think that makes me a “traditionalist” per se’. I am wondering who else uses the 1962 Missal for private devotion, either regularly or intermittently.
 
I use not only the 1962 Missal (Baronius Press) but as part of the Religious Order I belong to (Militiae Templi) I also use the 1960 Breviarum Romanum (Diurnale) for the praying of the Office…

I do not attend the Novus Ordo…

In addition to being an aide to true “active participation” for the laity, it has references and prayers that have enriched my life. I have a new edition I carry with me that comes in handy when other Catholics ask why we still abstain from meat on Fridays when “Vatican II did away with that” or the like. I can cite exact documents I could not otherwise from memory and hopefully pass on to them a deeper curiosity and appreciation of their faith. Plus, latin is rad!
 
I live in Ct and have know idea were you can find a sanctioned Latin Mass. However I’m hanging onto my 1962 missal
maybe before I die I’ll get to use it again.
 
I attend the Novus Ordo regularly, and go to TLM when I can. The reason I use the 1962 missal for private devotion is simply because the wealth of information contained within it. The missals of today do not compare at all to the old ones. The art work, the prayers, everything about the old missal is highly superior to the Pauline missal available today. I give it two thumbs up!
 
I didn’t realize how ignorant I am about the various masses…Tridentine vs Novus Ordo. So, can someone please explain the meaning. I attend Mass in English.
Thanks,
Kathy

From an entry on video.google.com:

The texts of the Latin prayers, and English translations of the same, which are common to every Traditional Latin Mass may be found here: sacred-texts.com/chr/lmass/ord.htm

The texts and English translations of the prayers which are proper to any particular TLM can be found here: sspx.co.uk/propers.php

You may find these helpful as well:

I think you will be able to readily compare those texts and videos to your personal knowledge of the Mass of Paul VI, commonly referred to as the Novus Ordo, which is nearly always celebrated in the local language, e.g. English where you live.

I use the 1962 Roman Missal from Baronius Press. It is beautiful and includes a wealth of private devotions. I use it to follow along during Mass, and as a prayer book; it has some beautiful prayers for before and after receiving Communion. I normally attend the traditional Mass only but will occasionally attend a Novus Ordo, i.e. if for some reason I can’t get to a traditional Mass and need to fulfill my obligation. I attend the indult here where I live, but would have no problem with assisting at Mass at a chapel of the SSPX if that were the nearest traditional Mass. I also dislike calling it the “Tridentine” Mass, as if it were just invented at the Council of Trent the same way the Novus Ordo was created by a committee which included several Protestant ministers and was presided over by an Archbishop (Bugnini) whom even Paul VI suspected of being a Freemason :eek:…the “Tridentine” Mass is in fact much, much older than the Council of Trent. I guess that’s a topic for another thread though!
