A full line of 1962 Mass resources is available at the "1962 Missal Resources" link on the Aquinas And More Catholic site. It has, among other things, the Tridentine Missal-Booklet (pictured) and several 1953 and 1962 "Tridentine Mass" Missals, and more.

Marcie still has an original Old Mass Missal and her first Communion rosary, among her favorite things. We love the Old Mass for its simple majesty, its unswerving clarity of purpose, and its clear recognition of God at the center of everything. After all, at Eucharist, where else should our main focus be? Lamentations over the loss of the Latin liturgy may be nearing an end; The Lord hears the cry of the poor.

John Paul the Great issued a Motu Proprio to reverse the decline in use of the Old Mass and of Latin, and it was largely ignored by our bishops. Now, His Holiness Benedict XVI has issued another one, taking the decision for pastor's permission, to some degree, out of the hands of the local bishops.

The Tridentine Mass is coming back! Give thanks to the Lord, for He is great; His mercy is never ending.

"He got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel he had around him. When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him, "Lord, why are you going to wash my feet?" Jesus replied, "You don't understand now why I am doing it; someday you will." "No," Peter protested, "you will never wash my feet!" Jesus replied, "But if I don't wash you, you won't belong to me."
