Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

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 . . .

Note: There is NO MASS TODAY anywhere in the world until the Easter Vigil. The Black Biretta : Roman Days Are Here Again ! Photos of the Holy Father in classical vestments.... The New Liturgical Movement : Interview with Msgr. Guido Marini, the Papal MC What Does the Prayer Really Say: CLARIFICATION about something false attributed to me regarding “viri selecti” What Does the Prayer Really Say : Oldie PODCAzT 17: For those who must sing the Exsultet in Latin, TLM or NO This is two MP3s of the "Exsultet" sung at the Easter Vigil and done by Father Zuhlsdorf.

Rule #1 : If you are interested in attending either a TLM Vigil Mass or Easter Sunday TLM Mass , FIRST check the Parishes located to your RIGHT on the TLM menu I've posted . These have TLM Masses weekly; their websites should have information on the TLM or Vigil and its time. Rule #2 : If you can't find what you need, here is the best list I can come up with on short notice of my past posts and from surveying the internet locally: Baltimore/MD Access: Saint Alphonsus Church, Baltimore, MD, TLM Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption, Baltimore, MD, Latin Novus Ordo ANY Catholic Mass in Maryland; Click on the City or Locale for a Full List Near You Washington, DC or Virginia Access: Dominican House of Studies, Washington, DC DC Catholic Blog Calendar Franciscan Monastery, Washington, DC, Easter Vigil (subject to timeout errors ) TLM or Latin Mass in DC/VA locations Campus Mass at UMaryland, College Park Campus Masses Centered In or Near College Park, MD West Virgi

Update and Note : The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is not celebrated anywhere in the world on Good Friday. Some Parishes will have the traditional "Passion service" held at 3:00 PM (which in the Extraordinary Form is called the "Good Friday Office") and/or Stations of the Cross. When a Passion Service is held, the altar is totally bare. There is Veneration of the Cross and Holy Communion--consecrated on Holy Thursday and held in repose--is distributed to the faithful. There is also no Mass on Holy Saturday until the Easter Vigil Mass in the evening. Please also note that I will not be posting on Good Friday ! We adore Thee O Christ and we bless Thee! Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou has redeemed the world! Stations of the Cross (USCCB)

Father John Trigilio , President of the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy , has posted an important announcement on Holy Thursday , the "birthday" of both the Priesthood and of the Holy Eucharist.

Here is the Triduum Schedule from EWTN in Eastern Time in the U.S. I call your attention to a one hour " Triduum " show scheduled for 8 AM and again at 11 PM. This is the Triduum series by Father John Corapi, S.O.L.T. that was first produced in the late 90's. It is outstanding! The one hour shows for Holy Thursday and Good Friday are especially so. If you find a chance to watch this series of three shows, please do so.

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,

PANGE LINGUA Pange lingua, gloriosi Corporis mysterium, Sanguinisque pretiosi, Quem in mundi pretium Fructus ventris generosi Rex effudit gentium. Nobis datus, nobis natus Ex intacta Virgine, Et in mundo conversatus, Sparso verbi semine. Sui moras incolatus. Miro clausit ordine. In supremae nocte coenae Recumbens cum fratribus, Observata lege plene Cibis in legalibus, Cibum turbae duodenae Se dat suis manibus. Verbum caro, panem verum Verbo carnem efficit; Fitque sanguis Christi merum: Et si sensus deficit, Ad firmandum cor sincerum Sola fides sufficit. TANTUM ERGO SACRAMENTUM Veneremur cernui: Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui: Praestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque Laus et iubilatio: Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory: Of His Flesh the mystery sing; Of His Blood all price exceeding. Shed by our immortal King.

Shawn Tribe of the NLM has a nice article on the return of 'Baroque' to Church vestments . The reaction is quite interesting to say the least.

This was posted previously, but I thought I'd do it once more . Click this link for a previous post summarizing the schedules here (Baltimore) and in D.C. I have posted the schedules for Saint Alphonsus and for Saint James the Greater in Charles Town, WV. DC Catholic has a link to the DC calendar of events. Also note the list of Parishes on the menu bar to the right . Many have their bulletins online on their website and so will have their particular Holy Week schedules. Also, check here . This is a search from MassTimes.org and lists ALL Latin Masses in the region (both the TLM and the Ordinary Form). This may help you narrow your search. Note that Silver Spring was chosen arbitrarily as the "center" for this search. Finally, here is a list of all Parishes in the Baltimore metro region . The times include Sunday Mass and Vigils. Many have web pages. If you know the zip code you are visiting, you should be able to find a "close fit."
