Latin Mass (TLM) Text (Canon) Online or Latin Mass Propers Online

I have dealt with this before, but I still have seekers who are probably looking for the daily or Sunday "Propers" of the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM; Extraordinary Form) online. I say this because the actual Rubrics (and Canon) of the 1962 Missale Romanum is available on a number of forums. One beautiful form is the Sancta Missa site which is meant for education. Others are in the right menu under the Favorites rubric (see Una Voce; parallel Latin/English Canon).

There is a site which posts the Propers for the TLM in English each day. However, to my knowledge, NO site has fully transposed all the changes of the Missale Romanum 1962 in agreement with the Missal of Pope John XXIII called for in Summorum Pontificum for Sunday Masses (let alone daily Masses). Only a Missal such as the Baronius (F.S.S.P. edition) or the Angelus Missal will be able to assist.

There is one site which has begun a rather "Herculean task" and that is to post as many of the Tridentine Propers online as possible. That is the Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project. Many of the Sundays are fine, but much remains to be done. In some cases, the 1955 version is posted for some major feasts, and in others, the 1962 version is not fully compatible with the Summorum Pontificum requirements. This is why those searching for the "Chrism Mass" or the "Easter Vigil" did not find these posted here. What is available is not compatible with the 1962 Missal.

I hope that explains the situation. However, the man responsible for the Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project is likely to be a Saint someday when all is said and done!
