Structured Precision Every Step
-
Latin
The TLM is celebrated entirely in Latin. The official language of the Church. The Ordinary Form is celebrated in the vernacular (English in the U.S.).
-
Orientation
The priest faces the altar (ad orientem) throughout the TLM, leading the people toward God. In the Ordinary Form, the priest typically faces the people.
-
Silence
The Canon of the Mass (Eucharistic Prayer) is prayed silently by the priest in the TLM. Silence is considered sacred and deeply meaningful.
-
Communion
In the TLM, Communion is received kneeling at the altar rail, on the tongue only. Standing Communion in the hand is not practiced.
-
Posture
The TLM involves significantly more kneeling. There is no Sign of Peace exchanged among the congregation.
-
The Server's role
The altar server makes all responses (as do the laity) in Latin on behalf of the congregation in the Low Mass. In the High Mass (Missa Cantata or Solemn High Mass), the choir sings the responses.
-
The Last Gospel
The TLM concludes with the reading of the Prologue of St. John’s Gospel (aka The Last Gospel /John 1:1-14) a beautiful and ancient tradition not found in the Ordinary Form. Thereafter, tradition calls for the Priest to pray with the Altar Servers: Salve Regina (Hail Mary), Deus Refugium, St. Michael, then a optional Traditional Catholic Hymn. Then personal prayers before leaving the Church.
