Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
If you aren’t on this Catholic Word of the Day Ping list and would like to be, please send me a FReepmail.
I have also heard that it is sometimes said by Novus Ordo priests who want to practice saying the traditional Mass.
So that leaves a penitential rite, Scripture, sermon, and intercessory prayers, blessing. Sounds rather like a Presbyterian Sunday service.

Is this still applicable with the relaxed fasting rules?
The whole idea of it was ahearance to the communion fasting rules. When the act of receiving communion was accepting a sacred mystery of faith and its taking not simply an acceptance or profession of it for others in the congregation to wittness.
