Here is an open and tactless admission that he fully intends to offer a sacrifice. Now, if there are two things which we cannot abide in the "new age," it is silent prayers during the communal prayer service, and the priest's acting as if he were about to do something in virtue of his own priesthood, which the laity cannot participate in. What is more, this prayer is spoken in the first person singular - it has the pronoun ego ("I") in it. Pius V are taken from this edition.Ĭan you tell me now what is wrong with this prayer that it should not be allowed in the Mass, even to be said silently by the priest? Well, may I tell you that there is everything wrong with this prayer? To begin with, it was said silently by the celebrant, and silent prayers are decidedly outlawed in the "Novus Ordo". All translations of the Missale Romanum of Pope St. Receive, O holy Father, almighty and eternal God, this spotless host, which I, thy unworthy servant, offer unto Thee, my living and true God, for mine own countless sins, offenses and negligences, and for all here present as also for all faithful Christians living and dead, that it may avail both for my own and their salvation unto everlasting life. To help you, I suggest you make your judgment on the basis of these three questions: Is there anything here which is contrary to the Catholic Religion? Is there anything here which would offend a Non-Catholic were he to read it? Lastly, can you perceive anything herein which reveals that this prayer is improper for these exciting days of the "seventies"? Read this prayer slowly and see if you can find anything wrong with it. Consider the prayer which the priest says in the True Mass as he raises the host on the paten toward heaven, the Suscipe Sancte Pater. To help you understand the real reasons why this whole collection of excellent orisons is totally irreconcilable with the "New Faith," let us analyze one as an example.

Obviously we cannot let any prayers a mere eight or nine hundred years old into our "renewed" prayer service! The given reason for this incredible exspoliation is that all these prayers are recent insertions into the Mass none of them were in the Mass before, say, 1100 or 1200 A.D. As mere tokens, the prayers In Spiritu Humilitatis and Orate Fratres were kept. Practically all the prayers of the Offertory, one of the principal parts of the True Mass, were deemed useless, which means that the following six prayers are not to be found in the "Novus Ordo": the Suscipe Sancte Pater, the Deus qui Humanae, the Offerimus Tibi, the Veni Sanctificator, the Lavabo (Ps.25), and the Suscipe Sancta Trinitas. Also found objectionable were the prayers Munda Cor Meum and the Dominus Sit these were private prayers of the priest, and private prayer during the communal exercise is not to be tolerated.

Since saints, and above all, martyrs, are not thought too highly of in the "New Church," no call for the Oramus Te being kept.

And since there is no tabernacle, there can be no mention of the "Holy of Holies". The Aufer a Nobis was dropped for the same reason namely, since there is no altar, one cannot "go up" to it. But, you see, now that the excisions have been made, the reasons make no difference anymore.Īll the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar, including the "ascental" Psalm (42), were replaced. By now you have probably forgotten the reasons you were given. If you will simply find yourself an old missal and turn to the Ordinary of the Mass, you will easily see how many prayers and rites have been eliminated in the "New Mass." You will remember that with each such elimination a very recondite and plausible reason was given why it should be made.
