I am indebted to the Tridentine Latin Missal Project for this online translation . INTROIT ¤ Ps. 138. 18, 5, 6 Resurrexi, et adhuc tecum sum, alleluia: posuisti super me manum tuam, alleluia: mirabilis facta est scientia tua, alleluia, alleluia. -- Domine, probasti me, et cognovisti me: tu cognovisti sessionem meam, et resurrectionem meam. V.: Gloria Patri . . . -- Resurrexi, et adhuc tecum sum, alleluia . . . I arose, and am still with Thee, alleluia; Thou hast laid Thy hand upon me, alleluia; Thy knowledge is become wonderful, alleluia, alleluia. -- ( Ps. 138. 1, 2). Lord, Thou hast searched Me and known Me; Thou knowest my sitting down and My rising up. V.: Glory to the Father . . . -- I arose, and am still with Thee, alleluia . . . GOSPEL ¤ Mark 16. 1-7 † Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Mark. † Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Marcum. [The Gospel relates the arrival of the holy women to anoint Our Lord, who found the tomb empty; an Angel reve

I am indebted to the Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project for this post . The Holy Thursday Mass readings appear to be fully accurate except for the special forms of the Communicantes , Hanc Igitur , etc. which can be found only in a Missal such as the Summorum Pontificum F.S.S.P. version of the Baronius Missal . GOSPEL ¤ John 13. 1-15 † Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. John. † Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Ioannem. [Washing of the feet. Humility of Our Lord Jesus Christ.] Ante diem festum Paschae, sciens Iesus quia venit hora eius, ut transeat ex hoc mundo ad Patrem: cum dilexisset suos, qui erant in mundo, in finem dilexit eos. Et coena facta, cum diabolus iam mississet in cor ut traderet eum Iudas Simonis Iscariotae: sciens quia omnia dedit ei Pater in manus, et quia a Deo exivit et ad Deum vadit: surgit a coena, et ponit vestimenta sua: et cum accepisset linteum, praecinxit se. Deinde mittit aquam in pelim, et coepit lavare pedes discipulorum,

As you may know, last week Fr. John of WDTPRS released the Passion of Saint Matthew as a Podcazt just before Palm Sunday . It had the Passionalia --all three parts were sung by him. It is archived last week on this blog. Today he has released again the Podcazt for the Passion of Saint John before Good Friday . Just wanted you to know it is available in MP3! Finally, some of you are stopping by and failing to find my prior post on the Latin readings for the Triduum ! As I stated just a few days ago, only a written Missal (like the new Baronius F.S.S.P. edition, Summorum Pontificum ) will have ALL the approved text . The next best thing is from the Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project . I haven't checked all the text word for word, but the "post-1955 links" should "be close to rendering" what has been approved by Summorum Pontificum . That is not a guarantee, however. Note also that this is a work in progress.

Father John Trigilio of "The Black Biretta" gives a "shout out" to Monsignor Guido Marini, who is now at the helm for Papal Ceremonies . The gorgeous copes and mitres of old have now "reappeared" in papal ceremonies. Rocco Palmo of " Whispers in the Loggia " has a very nice story on the opening of the first Catholic Church in Qatar . As always, Rocco includes photos. Father John Zuhlsdorf of " What Does the Prayer Really Say " has a brief photoessay on the TLM Mass on Palm Sunday at Assumption Grotto in Detroit . There is much more in the way of photos at " Te Deum laudamus !" Finally, many of you (my Sitemeter told me so!) will be searching for the Latin for " Usus Antiquior " liturgies this week including the Mass on Holy Thursday, Good Friday's Passion, the Easter Vigil Mass and Easter Sunday Mass. To my knowledge, there is no complete and up-to-date listing of these online that are in full accordance w

This site, The Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project, carries the readings for the Latin Mass according to the 1955 Missal . I have checked the Blessing of Palms according to the new Baronius " Summorum Pontificum Missal" used by the F.S.S.P. and these readings vary greatly from those in the older Missal . I would stick with a written Missal for guidance. With regard to the Palm Sunday Mass itself, the Introit, Collect, Epistle, Tract, etc. appear to be identical to the Baronius Missal (although I cannot vouch for precise translations as I did not check word for word) . One big change in the Summorum Pontificum approved 1962 Missale Romanum is that the Passion of Saint Matthew is shortened to 26.: 36-75; 27.: 1-66. The 1955 version begins at Matthew 26: 1-75 so is far longer. Check Fr. Zuhlsdorf's blog to hear the Passionale which he has on MP3 . It is glorious!

[STATION AT THE HOLY CROSS AT JERUSALEM] INTROIT ¤ Isaias 66. 10, 11 Laetare , Jerusalem: et conventum facite omnes qui diligitis eam: gaudete cum laetitia, quia in tristitia fuistis: ut exsultetis, et satiemini ab uberibus consolationis vestrae. -- Laetatus sum in his, quae dicta sunt mihi: in domum Domini ibimus. V.: Gloria Patri . . . -- Laetare, Jerusalem . . . Rejoice, O Jerusalem: and come together all you that love her: rejoice with joy, you that have been in sorrow: that you may exult, and be filled from the breasts of your consolation. -- ( Ps. 121. 1). I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: we shall go into the house of the Lord. V.: Glory to the Father . . . -- Rejoice, O Jerusalem . . . Tridentine Latin Missal Project

GOSPEL ¤ Matth. 4. 1-11 . † Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. † Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Matthaeum. [It was in the desert that Satan, wishing to know if the Son of Mary was really the Son of God, tempted our Lord. The devil seeks to tempt us by the lustful desire of the flesh, by the pride of life, and by the lustful desire of the eyes, or avarice.] In illo tempore: Ductus est Iesus in desertum a Spiritu, ut tentaretur a diabolo. Et cum ieiunasset quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, postea esuriit. Et accedens tentator, dixit et: Si Filius Dei es, dic ut lapides isti panes fiant. Qui respondens, dixit: Scriptum est: Non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore Dei. Tunc assumpsit eum diabolus in sanctam civitatem, et statuit eum super pinnaculum templi, et dixit ei: Si Filius Dei es, mitte te deorsum. Scriptum est enim: Quia Angelis suis mandavit de te, et in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapid

TRACT ¤ Ps. 102. 10 Domine, non secundum peccata nostra, quae fecimus nos: neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuas nobis. V.: Domine, ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum, cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae, quia pauperes facti sumus nimis. V.: Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster: et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum. O Lord, repay us not according to the sins we have committed nor according to our iniquities. V.: ( Ps. 78. 8, 9) O Lord, remember not our former iniquities, let Thy mercies speedily prevent us; for we are become exceedingly poor. [Here kneel] Help us, O God, our Savior: and for the glory of Thy Name, O Lord, deliver us: and forget us not for Thy Name's sake. Friday after Ash Wednesday . Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project .
