He then said this is what should be done with the missalettes -- he threw it in the garbage! He had a garbage pail (It was green for ordinary time, but maybe that was a coincidence!)placed next to the altar. Everybody but me put their missalettes down. Following the mass in the missalette, He then shut his altar missal. I noticed that we had an entirely new Eucharistic prayer, collect, prayer over the gifts, etc. But the irony is rich -- the missalette he threw out was "Celebrating the Eucharist" from the Liturgical Press of St. John's Abbey, where Father Ruff resides!<br /><br />For the Ordinary form, I have the new Midwest Theological Forum missal, and it has everything you need. IT also has the Latin of the ordinary of the mass.James Ignatius McAuleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-3560519100573765452011-12-10T11:22:38.307-05:002011-12-10T11:22:38.307-05:00Following along in the missal is great for non-Cat...Following along in the missal is great for non-Catholics. It is the best introduction to the Mass. <br />I'm glad its there.qwiknesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15439450727837308035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-10143677979749187922011-12-10T10:35:49.297-05:002011-12-10T10:35:49.297-05:00In inverse order: that prayer seems more like it w...In inverse order: that prayer seems more like it would be for the Prayer of the Faithful/Universal Prayer. As far as following versus reading: I like to follow, watching, I feel like I am participating. If I can read the relevant prayers etc ahead of time this is easier. Following along can be a little tough if I get lost in the missal flipping back and forth.<br /><br />This reminded me of a quote from Pop St Pius X where he said the Mass is a prayer and follow with the eye, heart, and mouth to hear it as it should be. This seems to imply we should not read, but I think it, instead, confirms what you are saying Father, that we should read the prayers as they are read allowed, respond, etc. Proper inflection and pacing can make the words jump off the page for you.<br /><br />rcgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-48882512992848225512011-12-10T09:57:37.130-05:002011-12-10T09:57:37.130-05:00Snore...Snore...Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06672484450736725268noreply@blogger.com
