An explanation of the
HOLY MASS
in union with
THE PASSION AND DEATH OF OUR DIVINE LORD
AT MASS, THE PRIEST:	JESUS:
Enters the Sanctuary	Enters Garden of Olives
Begins prayers at the foot of the Altar	Begins prayer in the garden
Says the Confiteor	Faints and falls down in agony
Ascends steps and kisses the Altar	Is betrayed by Judas with a kiss
Goes to the book at Epistle side	Is led prisoner to Annas
Reads the Introit	Is falsely accused by Annas
Goes to middle, recites “Kyrie Eleison”	Is brought to Caiphas; denied thrice by Peter
Turns to people and says “Dominus vobiscum”	Looks at Peter and converts him
Goes to book and reads Collect and Epistle	Is led to Pilate
Goes to middle, then to Gospel side	Is taken to Herod and mocked
Returns to middle of the Altar	Is led back to Pilate
OFFERTORY
Uncovers the chalice	Is stripped of His garments
Offers the bread and wine	Is scourged at the pillar
Covers the chalice with pall	Is crowned with thorns
Washes his hands at the Epistle side	Is declared innocent by Pilate
Turns to people and says “Orate Frates”	Pilate says “Behold the man”
Prays in a low voice, the secret	Is mocked and spat upon
Recites Preface and Sanctus – bell rings	Barabbas is freed
CANON OF MASS
Makes momento for living	Carries cross to Calvary
Continues to pray in low tone	Meets His Mother and the other pious women
Holds his hands over oblation – bell rings	Soldiers take hold of Christ our Lord
Blesses the bread and wine with Sign of the Cross five times	Is nailed to the Cross
CONSECRATION
Consecrates the Host, adores and elevates it	Christ is raised on the Cross
Consecrates the wine and elevates the chalice	Blood of Christ flows from five wounds
Prays in a low voice	Hangs on the cross. Sees His Mother kneeling
Says aloud “Nobis quoque peccatoribus”	Prays for all mankind
Recites aloud the “Pater Noster” (Our Father)	Speaks the seven words on the cross
Breaks the Sacred Host	Dies on the cross
Drops a particle of Host into the chalice	Christ’s soul descends into Limbo
Says “Agnus Dei”	Those standing by acknowledge Christ to be the Son of God
COMMUNION
Receives the Body and Blood of Christ	Is laid in the sepulcher
Cleanses the chalice	Christ’s body is anointed in the sepulcher
Arranges the chalice on the Altar again	Rises from the dead
Turns to people and says “Dominus vobiscum”	Appears to His Mother and Disciples
Reads prayers at Epistle side – Post communion	Teaches for forty days
Turns to people and says last “Dominus vobiscum”	Bids farewell to His Disciples: ascends into Heaven
Gives the blessing	Sends the Holy Spirit to His Apostles
Reads the last Gospel	Apostles preach the Gospel to all Nations
Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us.
Saint Pius X, pray for us.
Saint Padre Pio pray for us.

WOW!

[Robert Drobot]

Reading each line of code content (209 of them - my first such effort) gave me a better appreciation for the suffering our Savior anticipated and finally endured to save me and the many.

Praise God for the men and women our faith has surrounded itself with to repel those who would dare to think they can challenge the will of the Blessed Trinity that the sacred body of The One True Faith: The Roman Catholic Church.

Thank you for the very kind compliment, Canticle_of_Deborah. Your help to me in getting through this task was essential to getting it right.

It's good to stand with you, Debbie, and all traditional Roman Catholics who have the will and commitment to resist the evil in this life born of Satan, no matter where we find it.

This explanation of the Holy Mass was penned by someone very close to God. It is indeed a somber and reverent reflection of the understanding traditional Roman Catholics have for the Tridentine Mass.

God willing, this thread will be copied and shared everywhere.

Thank you both for this great side-by-side comparison of the bloody Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, with the unbloody Sacrifice of the alter Christus - the priest - during the Sacrifice of the Mass.

This is beautiful, thank you for all your hard work! We can only hope and pray that in the future God and the Holy Father will grace us with a more wider use of the Old Mass.

My, my, my... where have I seen this before? ;-)

Welcome!

Many thanks to you and to Robert for this post! I have seen similar written explanations/analyses of the Tridentine mass - but this is the first which shows a clear side by side comparison of Christ's passion & death as realted to the actions of the mass.

If this mass were still perfomred in every parish church, this would be a very wonderful and simple primer for both children and adults as to the purpose of hte mass and its parts/actions. And very useful to instruct potential converts.

Sadly, this is not what we see in our churches.

Did you write this? If you did, great job! If not, then thank you very much for sharing this!

[PRSOrlando]

Agh, sorry. I didn't see your other post. Nevertheless, thanks for posting!

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

You are quite welcome. I liked the comparison so much I wanted to share it here on FR.

Wonderful!!!

Bumpus ad summum

I've never seen the Mass broken down in such a beautiful and succinct manner before!

Already knowing that the True Mass is the unbloody re-enactment of Christ's Crucifixion on Calvary, it didn't dawn on me the comparison of the elevation of the Host to the raising of the Cross. It brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you, Deb and Robert for bringing this beautiful post to us. I'm going to save it and disperse it.
