1. Server Responses : Preparatory prayers

The Latin Mass Society is pleased to present this set of short videos giving the texts with which those learning to serve the Traditional Mass need to familiarise themselves, setting the written text alongside an audio recording. In these videos the texts are said as slowly and distinctively as possible, to assist servers and others unsure of the principles of Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation. In Mass these texts should be said in a more flowing way. The texts are taken from parts of the Mass where the server has to make responses: 1. Preparatory Prayers 2. Kyrie 3. Collect 4. Epistle 5. Gospel 6. Suscipiat 7. After the Secret 8. Pater Noster 9. Pax Domini 10. Postcommunion and Ite 11. Bishop’s Blessing 12. Last Gospel The Collect, Epistle, and Gospel used are taken from the Votive Mass of Our Lady used 'per annum.' We would like to thank Fr John Saward, Priest in Charge of SS Gregory & Augustine’s in Oxford (Archdiocese of Birmingham), for his help in preparing these recordings. The responses were made by Joseph Shaw, Chairman of the Latin Mass Society.
