Private Low Mass

[@josephvanharen3518]

Thank you Father for this beautiful referent Holy Mass , Greetings from Nrth Coast of Australia , God Bless .

[@bruce9635]

Please what is the name of this priest that I might pray for him. I can’t remember a Mass said with such reverence since I watched Padre Pio in a old recording. He has inspired me and I have shared this Mass widely as I think it will increase love for Our Greatest Treasure. God Bless You!

This priest uses the saint Joseph missal. It is a mortal sin to use this missile !!! Padre Pio never said mass with this missile Padre Pio said the old traditional mass of the st. Andrews missal.

[@codynunez5246]

@@josephcade3541 I think you may be mistaken, brother. Plenty of churches that perform the TLM use this missal. You can find it on many Catholic bookstores online as well. It may be used less frequently than others at certain churches but it is perfectly valid.

The priest stood and bowed so still at post communion that I assumed my phone was having network issues

So the priest does the responses for the altar server as well?

[@jesusacuna309]

Yes, but he only says the confiteor once, and at the orate fratres he said nostris instead of tuis

[@ryanscottlogan8459]

When offering without a server yes.

[@caerem]

@@jesusacuna309 He says "meis" actually) But in "Misereatur", he says "nostri" instead of "vestri".

I thought that it was mandatory to have between 1-2 servers at a low Mass?

[@elvenrace2982]

Can one join this congregation if not a US citizen?

[@clipPRmusic]

Yes, if you are part of the Roman Catholic Church and can find a Vetus Ordo mass you can go to any one you want.

[@felipedetrento]

Hi there. Is the missal 1962? Thank you.

"Private mass" is the oxymoron

[@mike62401]

So beautiful, but so pitiful that there is no server/acolyte/layman to assist in this Holy Mass. THiS is now what the Mass of all time has been relegated to…a humble and holy priest, all by himself, offering the Holy Sacrifice with NO ONE assisting. Beautiful and utterly pitiful at the same time. The Mass is now in the catacombs AGAIN!

[@davidniedjaco9869]

If forced..yes..but, I think your impression is that a private low mass has to have an acolyte/altar server/boy..a priest can and should do a missa solitaria (low mass without server) at least once a day..if not more..as many as possible as not to break canon law..and IMHO..it should be spaced out so as the priest to not become inebriated, but I feel the medieval model of a priest being able to say as many masses as possible (within reason and being moderate) is the best way to go..more masses, more graces for the Church and world, the better..but if a priest were to get 10 different stipends for 10 different mass intentions, he should be able to say them all within one day..again IMHO 😊..and more than likely, they would all be missa solitaria +++God bless Mary protect +++

Most beautiful referent Mass Traditional Mass , the comment below is correct , God bless

[@MarkEliasGrant]

Extraordinary is right. This is not the Mass that most Catholics know. It's a nice time piece, but has little meaningful participation from the laity. It's a time piece, an artifact from a bygone era. It's not coming back people.

[@nicholasholiday941]

The very structure of the Mass including the Tridentine Mass presupposes a congregation or at least servers.

[@MarkEliasGrant]

@@nicholasholiday941 Yet people here robustly defend the practice of private Masses. The entire practice is absurd. We're not going back to 1960. What's done is done.

[@setonix9151]

@@MarkEliasGrant Angels are present in every mass. Especially masses offered in prayer, even without a congregation. There's a reason in the Missal of St. Pope John XXIII the term Private Mass is not used. Pope Paul VI also wrote in his encyclical Mysterium fidei (1965) that "even if a priest celebrates it privately" a Mass is not private but "an act of Christ and of the Church".

[@MarkEliasGrant]

@@setonix9151 Mass is not a private affair. Not any longer. It has returned to the state of the early Church in which those attending are participating, and it is a rare exception that anyone should have a "private Mass". Nope. No longer.

[@setonix9151]

@@MarkEliasGrant I mean you are just out right stating Nope. No longer, without you know actually telling reasons why. Masses celebrated in homes are still a thing. It still is a thing in the new rite. Under GIRM 252+ as Missa cuius unus tantum minister participat. (Mass in which only one server participates) Mass is still prayed for the faithful departed or votive masses for let's say peace. The practice has existed atleast since the 6th century (sources within Dialogues of St. Pope Gregory the Great) It was practiced by the Saints for over 1000 years and it is still practice now despite your protestations
