Hey, everybody has to start somewhere. I had a head start because the Old Mass began to be celebrated in 1964 and I was born in 1960. In 1967, when I started attending Mass regularly, a less than solid translation was introduced. But, it was still the Old Mass in English. Then, in 1969, our Archdiocese got the Mass Changes early. Even at age 9, I wasn't happy with the changes. My father actually quit attending Mass at the first sight of a guitar folk mass. The new Mass was celebrated in a way where the sanctity seemed to be lost. By age 12, I quit attending regularly, which saddened my mother. At age 35, after becoming a Pentecostal Holiness Christian, graduating from a Bible college, and being ordained and elder in a local church, I started reading Church history, and found myself returning to the Church. I gravitated toward the traditional Latin Mass, although I did also attend a well celebrated new mass in Latin at times. I could follow the Mass in Latin already, so I was able to begin jumping around the Middle, using all of the ribbon markers. But, if I had been born later, I would have been right where you are. So, I believe your video will be very helpful to newbies to the 1962 Missal.
@@paulbuede For us, it is the real Mass. What they shoved on us in the late 1960s was a mess, then in 1969 we got what was labeled the new mass. I refuse to distinguish it by calling it novus ordo. Many people stopped attending at that time and rightfully so.
I have one and love it. Since it was printed before I was born, it's most interesting to see how they celebrated before the big changes of the 1950s and the 1960s (the worst of all). The missal is quite the study guide and so very informative. A big plus is everything concerning the Mass is in Latin and English, including the bible sections (epistles, gospel, Old Testament). There's a good reason it's such a thick book. My missals from late 1950s-early 1960s only have the Mass in Latin and English, with the the readings and other prayers for each day only in English.
Nice job and stay at it your probably an expert by now , one year later. I just started going to the TLM and was blown away by its beauty and reverence. Hey i have the same missal too . God Bless .
Taylor Marshall did a video on what the ribbons mean. Basically they are just the color of vestments. It doesn’t matter what color you you use and where you use it. Also the color you see at the top of the pages is what the priest where’s that day.
Thank you, I got my first missal. In fact the same missal used here in the thumbnail. I am in rcia at the moment, soon will receive baptism on Easter. Thanks for the help
In 1962 we only had MASS (the Latin Mass), there was no 'novus ordo' anything. In addition, there was no "ordinary time", there was only the Christmas Cycle (Advent, Christmas, Epiphany) and the Easter cycle (Lent, Easter, after Whitsunday (aka Pentecost)). No "ordinary time". That was some bogus, badly named thing they shoved on us after Vatican II to lessen the significance of the mass. Thanks!
