  • For the Congregation – Tridentine Mass Society of Madison

    Nevertheless steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them.

    Vatican II Constitution on the Liturgy Sacrosanctum concilium 54 (emphasis added)

    For those new to (or intimidated by) the demands of Holy Mass celebrated in song, the congregational responses are the easiest way to enter into this habit that Mother Church ardently desires for both the glorification of God and the good of her children.

    The responses below are listed in the order in which they are uttered during Holy Mass.

    • At the Collect
      • Et cum spíritu tuo.
      • Amen.
    • At the Gospel
      • Et cum spíritu tuo.
      • Glória tibi, Dómine.
    • At the Offertory
    • At the Preface
      • Amen.
      • Et cum spíritu tuo.
      • Habémus ad Dóminum.
      • Dignum et justum est.
    • After the Consecration
    • After the Lord’s Prayer
      • Sed líbera nos a malo.
      • Amen.
      • Et cum spíritu tuo.
    • Before Communion
      • Dómine, non sum dignus…* (three times)
    • After Communion
    • At the Dismissal
      • Et cum spíritu tuo.
      • Deo grátias.
      • Amen.*
    • At the Last Gospel
      • Et cum spíritu tuo.*
      • Glória tibi, Dómine.*
      • Deo grátias.*

    *Spoken, even during Sung Masses.

    Ordinary of Holy Mass

    The melodies of four of the movements of the Ordinary of Holy Mass—that is, the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei—ideally change according to the season or feast. As the differing colors of the vestments of the Priest, Deacon, and Subdeacon, etc., visually call attention to the season or feast, the variety of the melodies of the chants aurally call attention to the season or feast.

    Below are the melodies employed at the Traditional Latin Mass as celebrated at St. Mary of Pine Bluff and at the Bishop O’Connor Center.

    The melody of the Credo changes less frequently due to its length.

    Chants at the Sprinkling Rite

    On Sundays before the principal Mass, the Priest and ministers sprinkle the faithful with Holy Water. On Sundays outside of Easter, the Asperges me is sung to one of two melodies. During Eastertide, the Vidi aquam is sung to its own melody.

    • [mp3, pdf] Asperges me I
    • [mp3, pdf] Asperges me II
    • [mp3, pdf] Vidi aquam

    After the sprinkling, the following responses are sung by the congregation:

    • Et salutáre tuum da nobis.
    • Et clamor meus ad te véniat.
    • Et cum spíritu tuo.
    • Amen.

    The 7:30 AM Sunday Mass at St. Mary of Pine Bluff is treated as a principal Mass.

    Seasonal Marian Antiphons

    While not strictly part of the Order of Mass, the custom is observed at Sung Masses celebrated at St. Mary Pine Bluff in which the seasonal antiphon to the Blessed Virgin Mary is sung after the conclusion of the Last Gospel.

    • [mp3, pdf] Alma Redemptóris Mater — from Vespers of Saturday before the First Sunday of Advent until Compline of Feb. 2

  • Newly Announced Sunday TLM in Wisconsin Dells – Tridentine Mass Society of Madison

    September 15, 2020 by TMSM Content

  • 7 July 2020 – 13th Anniversary of Summorum Pontificum – Tridentine Mass Society of Madison

    Today is the 13th anniversary of the release of the text of Benedict XVI’s Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. This Motu Proprio established that, juridically, there are two forms of one Roman Rite. Hence, if a priest has the faculties to say the “Novus Ordo”, then he also has the faculties to say the Traditional Latin Mass. Furthermore, it established that pastors of parishes, not the local bishop, can determine how Summorum Pontificum is to be implemented in their parishes.

    This is perhaps the most important thing that Benedict XVI did in his pontificate and it will have a significant, enduring effect on the Latin Church, particularly in the face of the demographic shifts in the Church which have been accelerated by the COVID crisis.

    Today, please say a prayer of thanksgiving for Summorum Pontificum and for long life of healthy and happy years for Benedict XVI.
