A constant search string that places people on this blog is " Latin Mass " or derivatives thereof (" Latin Mass Parish ," for example). From that point on, problems seem to occur and the individual becomes lost. The Latin Mass can be the Latin " Novus Ordo " Mass (or Ordinary Form ) since the Missale Romanum (Roman Missal) that we use at Mass is in Latin but translated into the vernacular (i.e., English or Spanish). So, a Latin Mass could be one in the Ordinary Form recited in Latin. Such a one is to be found at the National Shrine of the Basilica of the Assumption each Sunday morning at 9:00 AM . The "other" Latin Mass has many names. The motu proprio , " Summorum Pontificum ," called it the Extraordinary Form . It has been known, however, as the Tridentine Mass , the Tridentine Latin Mass, the Pian Mass (for Pope Pius V) or the Usus Antiquior (if one wishes to denote its antiquity with modifications over the centuries).

I am deeply indebted to my email friend, "J." for sending this along. This year the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter will be making their annual pilgrimage of reparation to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, to thank Our Lady, patroness of America for all the graces she has showered upon us, particularly in the recent visit of his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, and to make reparation for all the sins of our nation. Concluding their 3-day pilgrimage along the C&O canal, the kind permission of the Rector, Msrg. Rossi, having been granted, they will celebrate a Solemn High Mass on the main altar of the Crypt chapel in the Basilca at 6 pm, Saturday, June 7th. The celebrant will be the newly ordained Rev. Jonathan Romanoski FSSP. All are welcome to attend, as the Crypt chapel will accomodate many. The F.S.S.P. post is here . Father Romanoski will celebrate a Solemn High Mass at St. Alphonsus Church as posted here.

The Catholic Review Online carries a story dated today by George P. Matysek, Jr. on the return of the TLM to Saint Bartholomew's Parish in Manchester, MD . This blog has mentioned that Mass several times. Here is a short snippet from his article: Monsignor Robert Jaskot, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, called the regional celebration of the extraordinary form of the Mass a “first step” for the Baltimore archdiocese. The rite is celebrated every week at the Shrine of St. Alphonsus in Baltimore. “It’s the intention of the archbishop to make this extraordinary form available,” he said. “We want to make sure we do things correctly and we do them well.” Monsignor Jaskot noted that it takes special training to make sure priests are prepared to celebrate the liturgy properly. Not only is the rite said in Latin, it also involves particular gestures and rubrics that must be learned. Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien is looking at how the extraordinary rite can be made more availab

A visitor from afar searched for Latin prayers for the dead. In the Raccolta I have (dated 30 May, 1951), there are sundry short prayers including the "Dies Irae." The Fisheaters site has an extensive page on Catholic funerals and the full liturgy. This page has a portion dedicated to the burial and its prayers which are abbreviated. The familiar prayer at the gravesite is given here: Réquiem æternam dona ei, Dómine. Eternal rest grant unto him (her), O Lord. Et lux perpétua lúceat ei. And let perpetual light shine upon him (her). Requiéscat in pace. May he (she) rest in peace. Amen. Amen. Anima ejus, et ánimæ ómnium fidélium defunctórum, per misericórdiam Dei requiéscant in pace. May his (her) soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

In light of this official announcement from Bishop Kevin Rhoades of the Diocese of Harrisburg , the TLM Mass at St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Lancaster, PA has been added to the Mass List in the right menu . Note the Mass does not commence until May 24th, however. If either the Mass time or date changes, I hope someone can notify me of this. Laus Deo!
