The canonization for Blesseds Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati on Sunday, September 7, will be Pope Leo’s first. The booklet provided by the Vatican shows that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be celebrated primarily in Latin.
The chants look quite beautiful too.

Disappointed that the "brand x" Canon is being used instead of the inveterate Roman Canon.
I have no problem with additional Eucharistic Canons, although I think we have too many now and I find the 4th one when the Creed is required to duplicate much of the creed. But with that said, I wish that the development of the newer canons had maintained the same wording of the Roman Canon from the Epiclesis through the consecration of the Precious Blood. Also, in the TLM the Canon is prayed in a very low voice. I could, illicitly but validly, used Eucharistic Prayer II at the TLM I celebrate and no one would really know that i did.
By the way, the Ordinariate’s Missal, Divine Worship, only has two Eucharistic Prayers, the Roman Canon, which the rubrics say should “normally” be used on Sundays and a version of our Eucharistic Prayers II, allowed for weekday Masses. I think that’s a good compromise.
If I were your server I would know!
Multiple Eucharistic Prayers destabilizes the Rite and gives Father "Dictator" too much power over the Liturgy. We were very successful with the Roman Canon and the TLM. Besides the Roman Canon actually acknowledges women, something "progressives" conveniently ignore.
Father McDonald,
That would be better than the situation we have now but I still believe the Roman Canon should be the only option, particularly because we would no longer need the "bidding" prayers, another goofy idea from the "reform."
benny,
Look out!!! Father is trying to force the ordinariate missal down the throats of the laity (totally unlike 1969, though!!!) He's breaking the containment field!!!

But you don’t know me and how i would make arm gestures and signs of the cross where done are mandated—you would think I was using the Roman Canon, illicit, I know, but valid.
ha ha! You little rascal!!
Nick, I meant to comment on the Ordinariate missal on the other post, but, I do have their Missal, full size. What I like is that it incorporates not just “Anglican Liturgical patrimony consistent with our theology” but our own Latin Rite heritage to include the TLM’s Order of Mass (as an option) with the PATFOTA, the Gradual, the full Introit, with the Glory be..in the missal as well as the offertory Antiphon, missing in our modern missal. It has the traditional offertory prayers in full, as an option, the Requiem Agnus Dei, missing in our modern missal, as well as the Dies Irae!. It has the three-fold Dominus non sum Dignus too. What I don’t like is the Anglican patrimony as it is foreign to me and I find these additions way to wordy in an already wordy Mass.
Also, I dislike the so-called “old English” this missal employs.
It also has as an option, The Last Gospel. All of these Latin Rite options, without the Anglican ones, could easily be added to our Modern Latin Rite Verncular Missal as a suplement. If TC is not modified, I think Pope Leo would do well to offer this to offer an olive branch to traditionalists. BTW, the Ordinariate Missal also has the pre-Lenten Septuageisma season.
Fr. AJM,
Appreciate your reply. I appreciate the ordinariate's missal for much the same reasons. I do appreciate some of the Anglican-patrimony additions, but part of the Anglican patrimony, for one reason or another, seems to include a rather increased verbosity--and being a missal that builds off of the Novus Ordo and requires almost everything to be spoken or sung out loud (like the Novus Ordo, and unlike the TLM), that verbosity can be a bit much.
That said, in practice, many ordinariate Sunday Masses I have been to have involved a lot more singing than the typical Novus Ordo. That, too, is part of the Anglican patrimony, and it helps with the verbosity. The sung word is, liturgically at least, often easier to receive than the spoken.

Is that EP3?
Benedict liked using it and I remember reading somewhere that it was his favourite.
Who wants to place a bet on whether the canon will make a comeback for canonisations?
The prayers of the faithful are an ancient tradition as well you know!
Pope Pius XII condemned antiquarianism.

Nick,
I doubt big benny has read Mediator Dei.
British Catholics probably expect the Goobermint to pay for their hymnals
Government doesn't, can't afford some printouts either. They use projector screens now. But do they have to pay the BBC for the privilege?

In a few years with the way London is going, Westminster will be converted to a Mosque!
