THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE

MASS

1
2
Note: In this Missal, parts printed in bold black are to be recited aloud, those in fine
black are to be recited softly and parts in red are instructions.

Obligatory parts of the Mass

The Mass consists of three important and necessary parts, the Offertory,
Consecration and Communion. A Catholic is obliged to attend Holy Mass each Sunday
and Holyday of Obligation. To fulfill this obligation he must be present during the parts
of the Mass named above.

Instructions to the server

1. Place Missal closed on the Missal stand on the right of the Altar.
2. Light two beeswax candles (six for High Mass).
3. Cover Altar with three white linen cloths. Place Altar cards one each at the left,
right, and center of the Altar. (The left one is the Last Gospel).
4. Keep ready the bell. Keep ready two cruets, water and wine, the spoon, the
Towel, which the priest uses to wipe his fingers after they were cleansed with
water and the little receptacle for receiving the drops of water during the ablution.
5. Also, the gold Paten-like or dish-like tray, which is used during the Communion
time.
6. In the Sacristy, keep ready the Ordo, and also the Chalice, the Purificator, the
Paten, the Host and the Pall, all of these covered by the Veil. On top of the Veil,
keep the Burse containing the Corporal.
7. Keep ready the Amice, the Alb, the cincture, the Maniple, the Stole, the Chasuble
and the Biretta.
8. Keep ready the holy water if the Asperges is to be recited.
9. When the Priest enters, the Server comes behind him. In his left hand the Priest
carries the Chalice covered with the veil. His right hand rests upon the Burse
containing the Corporal.

The Altar
In the Catholic Church, the first object which attracts the eye of the individual is the altar.
We are directed by our liturgy today to construct our altars of stone. Imbedded in the
stone altar top or mensa should be a little reliquary in which the partial remains of a
Christian martyr are preserved. Crosses are placed in the center and on the four corners of
the mensa to recall the five wounds of Christ’s body. Since the altar is the place of
sacrifice, where, after the consecration of the Holy Mass the particle consecrated
becomes the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the altar must be dedicated at a
special ceremony by the Bishop of the Diocese. The altar prepared for Holy Mass is
covered with three white linen cloths which are provided to absorb the consecrated
species of the wine or the precious blood should it be accidentally spilled.

3
 To the right on the altar table is the Mass book called “The Missal.” This book
contains not only the common prayers said daily but the seasonal and feast day prayers
for the entire year. The three altar cards contain some of the common prayers recited by
the priest daily at the Holy Mass. The candles for a Low Mass are two in number. For a
High Mass six candles are lighted. These candles are made of beeswax. The vault-like
portion in the center of the altar is called the tabernacle or the depository for the Blessed
Sacrament. It is richly ornamented. The inside usually is beautifully draped to afford a
suitable throne for the King of kings. Above the tabernacle is found a crucifix which
recalls to our minds the Sacrifice of Calvary.

The Priest in the Sacristy

When the priest enters the sacristy the order of the day is studied by him in a little
booklet called “The Ordo.” You will observe the vestments on the vestment case with the

4
veiled Chalice. The articles covered by the veil are the Chalice, the Purificator, the Paten,
the Host and the Pall. The Chalice and Paten are made of gold because only the most rare
and costly utensils should be used at the Holy Sacrifice. They must be consecrated by the
Bishop and ordinarily can only be touched by the priest. The Mass is a repetition of the
Last Supper, and the Chalice and the Paten are representative of the cup and the dish used
by our Lord at the Last Supper. The Paten is the repository for the Host at Offertory and
the Chalice contains the wine. The Purificator is an oblong piece of white linen used to
purify the Chalice. You will observe in your study of the Offertory that the celebrant
performs this action of purification. Before vesting, the priest purifies his fingers saying,
“Give virtue, O Lord unto my hands that every stain may be wiped away, that I may be
enabled to serve Thee without defilement of mind or body.”

The Priest Puts On the Amice

Then the priest puts on the Amice. The Amice is a small rectangular linen cloth
with two strings attached to fasten it. The word has it derivation from the Latin and
means, “to wrap around.” It is used as a protection for the vestments and before being
placed on his shoulders the celebrant touches his head and forms a helmet as a protection
against Satan. As he puts on the Amice, he says,
“Place, O Lord, the helmet of salvation upon my head that I may overcome the assaults
of the devil.”

The Priest Puts On the Alb

5
 The Alb is a long white linen garment with full-length sleeves. In some instances
the Alb is adorned with lace. The word itself means, “white” (garment). The priest
quietly recites this prayer:
“Cleanse me, O Lord, and purify my heart that being made white in the blood of the
Lamb I may have the fruition of everlasting joy.”

The Priest Puts On the Cincture

Since the Alb is a loose garment the priest places the Cincture about his waist to
secure it. This word also has a Latin derivation meaning, “to gird.” The significance of
this sacramental is mortification of the flesh and its vices. It is the symbol of sacerdotal
chastity. The priest says,
“Gird me, O Lord, with the girdle of purity and extinguish in my loins the desires of lust
so that the virtue of continence and chastity may ever abide within me.”

The Priest Puts On the Maniple

The Maniple is the vestment placed on the left arm of the celebrant. It is about a
yard long and from four to six inches wide. Originally it was a handkerchief carried in the
left hand for use during the service. The priest accepts the Maniple, kisses it, places it on
the left arm saying,

6
“May I be worthy, O Lord, so to bear the Maniple of tears and sorrow: that with joy I
may receive the reward of my labor.”

The Priest Puts On the Stole

The Stole is the sign of the office of the priest. It is a long slender band usually
richly decorated with embroidery or gold. It is placed over the shoulders of the celebrant,
crosses upon his breast and secured on either side by the Cincture. The priest first kisses
the cross in the center of the Stole and places it on his shoulders saying,
“Restore to me, O Lord, the Stole of immortality which I lost by the transgression of the
first parent: and although unworthy, as I draw near to Thy sacred mystery, may I be
found worthy of everlasting joy.”

NOTE: In case of High Mass or the principal Mass on Sunday, go the the section on
“Asperges Me” or the “Vidi Aquam”, else go to “The Priest puts on the Chasuble”

Asperges Me/Vidi Aquam

The priest, wearing a cope, blesses the Altar, himself, the servers, and the people
with Holy Water. We beg God's mercy (or, during Paschaltide, we praise His mercy) and
asks Him to send our church's Guardian Angel to protect us.

As the priest enters and walks down the aisle toward the Altar, stand. Make a
profound bow and cross yourself as the priest passes by and blesses the people of your
pew with holy water.

ASPÉRGES ME
(During the year outside of Paschaltide/Eastertime):
Aspérges me. Dómine, hyssópo, et Thou shalt sprinkle me, O Lord, with
mundábor: lavábis me, et super nivem hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; Thou
dealbábor. shalt wash me, and I shall become whiter
than snow.
Miserére mei, Deus, secúndum magnam Have mercy on me, O God, according to

7
misericórdiam tuam. Thy great mercy. [Psalm 50]
P.Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui P.Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
Sancto. and to the Holy Ghost.

Here, at the mention of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost together, the priest will pause in
his blessing of the people.

S.Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et
semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Aspérges me. Dómine, hyssópo, et
mundábor: lavábis me, et super nivem
dealbábor.
S.As it was in the beginning, is now, and
ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Thou shalt sprinkle me, O Lord, with
hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; Thou
shalt wash me, and I shall become whiter
than snow.

VIDI AQUAM
(Replaces the Aspérges during Paschaltide/Eastertime):
Vidi aquam egrediéntem de templo, a I saw water flowing from the right side
látere dextro, allelúia: et omnes ad quos of the temple, alleluia; and all they to
pervénit aqua ista salvi facti sunt et whom that water came were saved, and

P.Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui P.Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
Sancto. and to the Holy Ghost.
S.Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et S.As it was in the beginning, is now, and

After either the Aspérges or the Vidi Aquam, the priest returns to the foot of the Altar

Sit while the priest vests for Mass, replacing his cope with a chasuble

The Priest Puts On the Chasuble

The Chasuble varies in color according to the feast as do the Maniple and the
Stole. The violet vestment indicates a sign of penance, the white of joy, red of love, green
of hope, and black of sorrow. As the priest places this garment over his head he says,
“O Lord, Who hast said: ‘My yoke is easy and My burden is light’ make me able to bear
it, that I may obtain Thy favor. Amen.”

The Celebrant Enters the Sanctuary

The priest is now fully vested and proceeds to the foot of the altar. You will
observe the headdress worn by the priest. It is called the Birettum. He is robed in his
sacred vestments and is accompanied by the acolytes. In his left hand he carries the

9
Chalice covered with the veil. His right hand rests upon the Burse containing the
Corporal. He proceeds to the center of the altar, genuflects and proceeds to ascend the
steps.
The Priest Ascends to the Altar

The Priest Places the Chalice

Upon reaching the top platform and approaching the altar (Mensa) the priest
places the Chalice to the left of the center. He removes the Burse from the top of the veil-
covered Chalice containing the Corporal, opens it and places it immediately over the
reliquary and in front of the tabernacle. He then places the Chalice on this Corporal, bows
reverently and…
The Celebrant Prepares the Missal

10
 …proceeds to the right hand side or the Epistle side of the altar to open and
prepare the Missal. You observe that the book is opened and the various markers are
placed for the Mass of the day. He then returns to the center of the altar, bows reverently
to the Crucifix and descends to the foot of the altar.

Prayers at the Foot of the Altar

Note: throughout the Mass, bow your head when the Name “Jesus” is uttered.

The Mass of the Catechumens (kneel)

The priest genuflects at the foot of the altar and joins his hands, the faithful kneel down.

Bowing down, the priest kisses the altar at the place where the relic is enclosed and says:
P: Oramus te. Domine, per P: We beseech Thee, O P: Zancheo reliko hanga

At a high Mass the priest will bless the Altar after blessing the incense with these words:
[Ab ilio benedicáris, in cujus honóre [Be blessed by Him in whose honour thou
cremáberis. Amen.] art burnt. Amen.]

The Introit (kneel) (Proper)

The priest proceeds to the Missal. The priest makes the Sign of The Cross and reads the
day's Introit, from the right, or 'Epistle', side of the altar.
Upon the completion of the Introit the priest returns to the center of the altar where he
recites the Kyrie Eleison
The Kyrie Eleison (kneel)

(Stand if it's a High Mass, i.e., a Sung Mass, or "Missa Cantata").
(omitted during Lent, Advent and Mass for the dead)

The priest stands at the middle of the altar, raises his arms and hands reverently towards
Heaven and says:
P: Gloria in excelsis Deo, P: Glory to God on high, P: Onod sorgar Devak ani

The priest places the host on the corporal.

The server rings the little bell , goes to the middle of the altar, genuflects and proceeds
to the credence table.

The Priest Receives the Wine

The priest takes the Chalice, purifies it with the linen cloth called the Purificator and
proceeds to the right side of the altar where the server supplies him with the wine. The
Purificator is held near the node or the little knob on the Chalice as a protection against
the drops of wine falling on the altar linens.

Blessing of the Water

After pouring the wine into the Chalice, the priest puts a few drops of water into the
chalice saying the following prayer:
(Any unmixed water is removed with the Purificator)
(The blessing of water is omitted in Masses for the Dead.)
P: Deus, qui humanae P: O God, Who, in P: Eh Deva, Tuvem

This first paragraph differs from Easter and WhitSunday (Pentecost)
The priest spreads his hands over the oblation, says the first two words aloud, and
continues silently:

The priest kneels/genuflects to adore Our Lord.

He then stands and elevates Our Lord for the faithful to venerate and adore.

The priest places Our Lord on the corporal and kneels/genuflects, again, to adore Him.

After this, to help ensure that not even the tiniest particle of the consecrated Host that
might adhere to his fingers is lost, he never disjoins his fingers and thumb (except when
he is to take the Host) until he washes his fingers at the ablutions after Communion.
The priest uncovers the chalice and continues:

The priest kneels/genuflects to adore the Precious Blood of Our Lord.

He then stands and elevates the chalice for the faithful to venerate and adore.

The priest sets the chalice down and kneels/genuflects, again, to adore Him.

Prayers after the Consecration

The priest keeps his fingers and thumbs together as indicated in the picture until the
washing of the hands after Communion.

The Priest Purifies the Paten
Up to this moment, the Consecrated Host has rested upon the Corporal. Now the
celebrant takes the paten between his first and second fingers and cleanses the Paten in
preparation for the breaking of the Host. He says the following prayer:

34
 (The last clause of each stanza is modified to “give them rest” in Masses for the the
dead.)
The priest covers the chalice, genuflects, bows low and strikes his breast each time as he
says:

The priest drinks the water and wine mixture, then wipes the inside
of the chalice (purifies it) with the same cloth, and covers it with the veil.

The Priest Returns to the Sacristy

APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTION
QUO PRIMUM

45
 Pope St. Pius V - July 14, 1570

From the very first, upon Our elevation to the chief Apostleship, We gladly turned
our mind and energies and directed all out thoughts to those matters which concerned the
preservation of a pure liturgy, and We strove with God's help, by every means in our
power, to accomplish this purpose. For, besides other decrees of the sacred Council of
Trent, there were stipulations for Us to revise and re-edit the sacred books: the
Catechism, the Missal and the Breviary. With the Catechism published for the instruction
of the faithful, by God's help, and the Breviary thoroughly revised for the worthy praise
of God, in order that the Missal and Breviary may be in perfect harmony, as fitting and
proper - for its most becoming that there be in the Church only one appropriate manner of
reciting the Psalms and only one rite for the celebration of Mass - We deemed it
necessary to give our immediate attention to what still remained to be done, viz, the re-
editing of the Missal as soon as possible.

Hence, We decided to entrust this work to learned men of our selection. They
very carefully collated all their work with the ancient codices in Our Vatican Library and
with reliable, preserved or emended codices from elsewhere. Besides this, these men
consulted the works of ancient and approved authors concerning the same sacred rites;
and thus they have restored the Missal itself to the original form and rite of the holy
Fathers. When this work has been gone over numerous times and further emended, after
serious study and reflection, We commanded that the finished product be printed and
published as soon as possible, so that all might enjoy the fruits of this labor; and thus,
priests would know which prayers to use and which rites and ceremonies they were
required to observe from now on in the celebration of Masses.

46
 Let all everywhere adopt and observe what has been handed down by the
Holy Roman Church, the Mother and Teacher of the other churches, and let Masses
not be sung or read according to any other formula than that of this Missal
published by Us. This ordinance applies henceforth, now, and forever, throughout
all the provinces of the Christian world, to all patriarchs, cathedral churches,
collegiate and parish churches, be they secular or religious, both of men and of
women - even of military orders - and of churches or chapels without a specific
congregation in which conventual Masses are sung aloud in choir or read privately
in accord with the rites and customs of the Roman Church. This Missal is to be used
by all churches, even by those which in their authorization are made exempt, whether by
Apostolic indult, custom, or privilege, or even if by oath or official confirmation of the
Holy See, or have their rights and faculties guaranteed to them by any other manner
whatsoever.

This new rite alone is to be used unless approval of the practice of saying Mass
differently was given at the very time of the institution and confirmation of the church by
Apostolic See at least 200 years ago, or unless there has prevailed a custom of a similar
kind which has been continuously followed for a period of not less than 200 years, in
which most cases We in no wise rescind their above-mentioned prerogative or custom.
However, if this Missal, which we have seen fit to publish, be more agreeable to these
latter, We grant them permission to celebrate Mass according to its rite, provided they
have the consent of their bishop or prelate or of their whole Chapter, everything else to
the contrary notwithstanding.

All other of the churches referred to above, however, are hereby denied the use of
other missals, which are to be discontinued entirely and absolutely; whereas, by this
present Constitution, which will be valid henceforth, now, and forever, We order and
enjoin that nothing must be added to Our recently published Missal, nothing omitted from
it, nor anything whatsoever be changed within it under the penalty of Our displeasure.

We specifically command each and every patriarch, administrator, and all

other persons or whatever ecclesiastical dignity they may be, be they even cardinals
of the Holy Roman Church, or possessed of any other rank or pre-eminence, and
We order them in virtue of holy obedience to chant or to read the Mass according to
the rite and manner and norm herewith laid down by Us and, hereafter, to
discontinue and completely discard all other rubrics and rites of other missals,
however ancient, which they have customarily followed; and they must not in
celebrating Mass presume to introduce any ceremonies or recite any prayers other
than those contained in this Missal.

Furthermore, by these presents [this law], in virtue of Our Apostolic

authority, We grant and concede in perpetuity that, for the chanting or reading of
the Mass in any church whatsoever, this Missal is hereafter to be followed
absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty,
judgment, or censure, and may freely and lawfully be used. Nor are superiors,
administrators, canons, chaplains, and other secular priests, or religious, of

47
whatever title designated, obliged to celebrate the Mass otherwise than as enjoined
by Us. We likewise declare and ordain that no one whosoever is forced or coerced to
alter this Missal, and that this present document cannot be revoked or modified, but
remain always valid and retain its full force notwithstanding the previous constitutions
and decrees of the Holy See, as well as any general or special constitutions or edicts of
provincial or synodal councils, and notwithstanding the practice and custom of the
aforesaid churches, established by long and immemorial prescription - except, however,
if more than two hundred years' standing.

It is Our will, therefore, and by the same authority, We decree that, after We
publish this constitution and the edition of the Missal, the priests of the Roman Curia are,
after thirty days, obliged to chant or read the Mass according to it; all others south of the
Alps, after three months; and those beyond the Alps either within six months or whenever
the Missal is available for sale. Wherefore, in order that the Missal be preserved incorrupt
throughout the whole world and kept free of flaws and errors, the penalty for
nonobservance for printers, whether mediately or immediately subject to Our dominion,
and that of the Holy Roman Church, will be the forfeiting of their books and a fine of one
hundred gold ducats, payable ipso facto to the Apostolic Treasury. Further, as for those
located in other parts of the world, the penalty is excommunication latae sententiae, and
such other penalties as may in Our judgment be imposed; and We decree by this law that
they must not dare or presume either to print or to publish or to sell, or in any way to
accept books of this nature without Our approval and consent, or without the express
consent of the Apostolic Commissaries of those places, who will be appointed by Us.
Said printer must receive a standard Missal and agree faithfully with it and in no wise
vary from the Roman Missal of the large type (secundum magnum impressionem).

Accordingly, since it would be difficult for this present pronouncement to be sent

to all parts of the Christian world and simultaneously come to light everywhere, We
direct that it be, as usual, posted and published at the doors of the Basilica of the Prince
of the Apostles, also at the Apostolic Chancery, and on the street at Campo Flora;
furthermore, We direct that printed copies of this same edict signed by a notary public
and made official by an ecclesiastical dignitary possess the same indubitable validity
everywhere and in every nation, as if Our manuscript were shown there. Therefore, no
one whosoever is permitted to alter this notice of Our permission, statute,
ordinance, command, precept, grant, indult, declaration, will, decree, and
prohibition. Should know that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the
Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.

Given at St. Peter's in the year of the Lord's Incarnation, 1570, on the 14th of July of the
Fifth year of Our Pontificate.

SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM
Apostolic Letter in the form "Motu Proprio"

48
 Pope Benedict XVI

Up to our own times, it has been the constant concern of Supreme Pontiffs to ensure that
the Church of Christ offers a worthy ritual to the Divine Majesty, "to the praise and glory
of His name," and "to the benefit of all His Holy Church."

Since time immemorial it has been necessary -- as it is also for the future -- to maintain
the principle according to which "each particular Church must concur with the universal
Church, not only as regards the doctrine of the faith and the sacramental signs, but also as
regards the usages universally accepted by uninterrupted apostolic Tradition, which must
be observed not only to avoid errors but also to transmit the integrity of the faith, because
the Church's law of prayer corresponds to her law of faith."[1]

Among the Pontiffs who showed that requisite concern, particularly outstanding is the
name of St. Gregory the Great, who made every effort to ensure that the new peoples of
Europe received both the Catholic faith and the treasures of worship and culture that had
been accumulated by the Romans in preceding centuries. He commanded that the form of
the sacred liturgy as celebrated in Rome (concerning both the Sacrifice of Mass and the
Divine Office) be conserved. He took great concern to ensure the dissemination of monks
and nuns who, following the Rule of St. Benedict, together with the announcement of the
Gospel, illustrated with their lives the wise provision of their rule that "nothing should be
placed before the work of God." In this way the sacred liturgy, celebrated according to
the Roman use, enriched not only the faith and piety but also the culture of many peoples.
It is known, in fact, that the Latin liturgy of the Church in its various forms, in each
century of the Christian era, has been a spur to the spiritual life of many saints, has
reinforced many peoples in the virtue of religion and fecundated their piety.

Many other Roman pontiffs, in the course of the centuries, showed particular solicitude in
ensuring that the sacred liturgy accomplished this task more effectively. Outstanding
among them is St. Pius V who, sustained by great pastoral zeal and following the
exhortations of the Council of Trent, renewed the entire liturgy of the Church, oversaw
the publication of liturgical books amended and "renewed in accordance with the norms

49
of the fathers," and provided them for the use of the Latin Church.

One of the liturgical books of the Roman rite is the Roman Missal, which developed in
the city of Rome and, with the passing of the centuries, little by little took forms very
similar to that it has had in recent times.

"It was towards this same goal that succeeding Roman Pontiffs directed their energies
during the subsequent centuries in order to ensure that the rites and liturgical books were
brought up to date and when necessary clarified. From the beginning of this century they
undertook a more general reform."[2] Thus our predecessors Clement VIII, Urban VIII,
St. Pius X,[3] Benedict XV, Pius XII and Blessed John XXIII all played a part.

In more recent times, the Second Vatican Council expressed a desire that the respectful
reverence due to divine worship should be renewed and adapted to the needs of our time.
Moved by this desire our predecessor, the Supreme Pontiff Paul VI, approved, in 1970,
reformed and partly renewed liturgical books for the Latin Church. These, translated into
the various languages of the world, were willingly accepted by bishops, priests and
faithful. John Paul II amended the third typical edition of the Roman Missal. Thus Roman
Pontiffs have operated to ensure that "this kind of liturgical edifice ... should again appear
resplendent for its dignity and harmony."[4]

But in some regions, no small numbers of faithful adhered and continue to adhere with
great love and affection to the earlier liturgical forms. These had so deeply marked their
culture and their spirit that in 1984 the Supreme Pontiff John Paul II, moved by a concern
for the pastoral care of these faithful, with the special indult "Quattuor Abhinc Anno,"
issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship, granted permission to use the Roman
Missal published by Blessed John XXIII in the year 1962. Later, in the year 1988, John
Paul II with the apostolic letter given as "motu proprio, "Ecclesia Dei," exhorted bishops
to make generous use of this power in favor of all the faithful who so desired.

Following the insistent prayers of these faithful, long deliberated upon by our predecessor
John Paul II, and after having listened to the views of the cardinal fathers of the
consistory of 22 March 2006, having reflected deeply upon all aspects of the question,
invoked the Holy Spirit and trusting in the help of God, with these apostolic letters we
establish the following:

Art 1. The Roman Missal promulgated by Paul VI is the ordinary expression of the "Lex
orandi" (Law of prayer) of the Catholic Church of the Latin rite. Nonetheless, the Roman
Missal promulgated by St. Pius V and reissued by Blessed John XXIII is to be considered
as an extraordinary expression of that same "Lex orandi," and must be given due honor
for its venerable and ancient usage. These two expressions of the Church's "Lex orandi"
will in no any way lead to a division in the Church's "Lex credendi" (Law of belief). They
are, in fact two usages of the one Roman rite.

It is, therefore, permissible to celebrate the Sacrifice of the Mass following the typical
edition of the Roman Missal promulgated by Blessed John XXIII in 1962 and never

50
abrogated, as an extraordinary form of the liturgy of the Church. The conditions for the
use of this Missal as laid down by earlier documents "Quattuor Abhinc Annis" and
"Ecclesia Dei," are substituted as follows:

Art. 2. In Masses celebrated without the people, each Catholic priest of the Latin rite,
whether secular or regular, may use the Roman Missal published by Blessed Pope John
XXIII in 1962, or the Roman Missal promulgated by Pope Paul VI in 1970, and may do
so on any day with the exception of the Easter Triduum. For such celebrations, with
either one Missal or the other, the priest has no need for permission from the Apostolic
See or from his ordinary.

Art. 3. Communities of institutes of consecrated life and of societies of apostolic life, of

either pontifical or diocesan right, wishing to celebrate Mass in accordance with the
edition of the Roman Missal promulgated in 1962, for conventual or "community"
celebration in their oratories, may do so. If an individual community or an entire institute
or society wishes to undertake such celebrations often, habitually or permanently, the
decision must be taken by the superiors major, in accordance with the law and following
their own specific decrees and statues.

Art. 4. Celebrations of Mass as mentioned above in art. 2 may -- observing all the norms
of law -- also be attended by faithful who, of their own free will, ask to be admitted.

Art. 5. §1 In parishes, where there is a stable group of faithful who adhere to the earlier
liturgical tradition, the pastor should willingly accept their requests to celebrate the Mass
according to the rite of the Roman Missal published in 1962, and ensure that the welfare
of these faithful harmonizes with the ordinary pastoral care of the parish, under the
guidance of the bishop in accordance with Canon 392, avoiding discord and favoring the
unity of the whole Church.

§2 Celebration in accordance with the Missal of Blessed John XXIII may take place on
working days; while on Sundays and feast days one such celebration may also be held.

§3 For faithful and priests who request it, the pastor should also allow celebrations in this
extraordinary form for special circumstances such as marriages, funerals or occasional
celebrations, i.e., pilgrimages.

Art. 7. If a group of lay faithful, as mentioned in art. 5 §1, has not obtained satisfaction to
their requests from the pastor, they should inform the diocesan bishop. The bishop is
strongly requested to satisfy their wishes. If he cannot arrange for such celebration to take
place, the matter should be referred to the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei.

Art. 8. A bishop who, desirous of satisfying such requests, but who for various reasons is
unable to do so, may refer the problem to the Commission Ecclesia Dei to obtain counsel
and assistance.

Art. 9. §1 The pastor, having attentively examined all aspects, may also grant permission
to use the earlier ritual for the administration of the sacraments of baptism, marriage,
penance, and the anointing of the sick, if the good of souls would seem to require it.

§ 2 Ordinaries are given the right to celebrate the sacrament of confirmation using the
earlier Roman Pontifical, if the good of souls would seem to require it.

§ 2 Clerics ordained "in sacris constitutis" may use the Roman Breviary promulgated by
Blessed John XXIII in 1962.

Art. 10. The ordinary of a particular place, if he feels it appropriate, may erect a personal
parish in accordance with Canon 518 for celebrations following the ancient form of the
Roman rite, or appoint a chaplain, while observing all the norms of law.

Art. 11. The Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, erected by John Paul II in 1988[5],
continues to exercise its function. Said commission will have the form, duties and norms
that the Roman Pontiff wishes to assign it.

Art. 12. This commission, apart from the powers it enjoys, will exercise the authority of
the Holy See, supervising the observance and application of these dispositions.

We order that everything We have established with these apostolic letters issued as "motu
proprio" be considered as "established and decreed," and to be observed from Sept. 14 of
this year, feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, whatever there may be to the contrary.

From Rome, at St. Peter's, July 7, 2007, third year of Our Pontificate.
