Latin Propers for "Low Sunday" or Missa Quasi Modo

I am indebted to the Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project for the Latin translations . Note that only a Missal such as the Baronius (F.S.S.P. edition, Summorum Pontificum ) will have all the Latin text.

In English the term Low Sunday is in contrast with Easter or High Sunday. Another Latin name Pascha clausum is preserved in the French: Paques closes and in the Dutch or Flemish: Beloken Pasen : close of Easter, this Sunday ending the Octave. -- Let us proclaim our faith in the risen Lord, and in His divine Presence in the Holy Eucharist.

Divine Mercy Sunday (Sunday after Easter)

The Decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments of May 5, 2000, which added this title to the Sunday after Easter ( "Low Sunday" or "Quasi Modo Sunday "), did not intend to leave this as an optional title. The requirements for this Feast of Divine Mercy are recounted here . Additional information can be found here on personal preparations . It is impossible to assemble a complete listing of Parishes which have the Divine Mercy liturgy . In most cases, the Divine Mercy liturgy is held after the last Mass on Sunday and is followed by Benediction. For that purpose, you will need to go to the Parish closest to you and to see the Bulletin for this coming Sunday for times. There are Divine Mercy Sunday liturgies scheduled at most major Cathedrals including that in Washington, DC and Baltimore. The National Shrine of the Grotto of Lourdes in Emmitsburg, MD also has a liturgy scheduled.
