In the Latin mass, is the entire church service(the complete liturgy, the singing, the responsive reading and the homily) all in Latin or just the part of the service dealing with the Eucharist?
Thanks.
At a Low Mass (one in which the priest recites, rather than sings, most of the liturgy) it is permitted to sing hymns in the vernacular. At a High Mass, everything sung during Mass (the processional and recessional hymns don't count) is supposed to be in Latin.
Everything Latin except the homily (man that would be tough!). And right before it, the Gospel and the Epistle are also reread in English.
At High (sung) Mass English hymns are typically added at the Entrance and Recessional. In a Low (spoken) Mass, if there is a choir you will likely get additional English hymns.
