Monday, July 27, 2020 – Today is a run-down of the primer posts on the Mass. Well, I am going to divide them up into three posts: basics, Extraordinary Form, and Novus Ordo. Why? Well, remember that this basic primer went on for a couple of weeks… But, fear not, dear reader! Today will be Read More

Day 87 – Mass and Participation Awards
Thursday, June 11, 2020 – Now that we have discussed (slow rolled) both forms of the Mass, it is time to go deeper into what participation at Mass really means. You have probably heard the term “active participation” and wondered if you are “doing” enough. In case nobody has told you, there is NO “participation Read More
Day 85 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XVI)
Tuesday, June 9, 2020 – Today we are going to focus on just the Communion part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is fairly similar to the Communion part of the Mass of the Faithful. Unfortunately, this is where we see a lot of the prayers from the Traditional Latin Mass left out. Anyhow, Read More
Day 84 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XV)
Monday, June 8, 2020 – Yesterday we started talking about the Liturgy of the Eucharist in the Novus Ordo and saw that there was a lot missing in the New Mass vs. the Traditional Latin Mass in terms of the prayers said over the gifts. Today we continue with the Liturgy of the Eucharist: the Read More
Day 81 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XII)
Friday, June 5, 2020 – Over the last week or so we covered the TLM. Today we are going to begin digging into the Novus Ordo, also known as the Mass of Paul VI. Again, this will be a brief outline. I will follow the outline the USCCB uses in order to maintain some consistency Read More
Day 80 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part XI)
Thursday, June 4, 2020 – Again, another day of last-minute TLM questions. I promise, however, that these are leading up to the new Mass. You can consider them “cross-over” questions, if you will, because they can be applied to either the old or the new. Why does the Priest face away from us? The Priest Read More
Day 79 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part X)
Wednesday, June 3, 2020 – Today (and tomorrow) we are going to answer some last-minute questions I have received over the years on the Traditional Latin Mass and a few “traditional” minded things surrounding the “old” Mass. A few may have already been answered in previous posts, so I apologize if I repeat…repeat…repeat myself. Bonus Read More
Day 78 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part IX)
Tuesday, June 2, 2020 – Way back when we coaxed our favorite Priest into letting us have a TLM Low Mass, I put together a one sheet of basic information. On the front side it has a pictorial walk-thru of the Low Mass with all the actions (“stuff”) that the lay people do during the Read More
Day 77 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part VIII)
Monday, June 1, 2020 – Brand new month, same old Mass! Also, we are eleven (11!!) weeks down. Whew! Let’s continue with the last part of the Mass of the Faithful. Fair warning: today’s post is going to be a looooong one! The Mass of the Faithful The Communion: The third part of the Mass Read More
Day 74 – Mrs. Flusche’s Super Basic Primer on the Mass (Part VI)
Friday, May 29, 2020 – Now that we have talked about the Mass of the Catechumens, it is time to delve into the Mass of the Faithful. However, that is a mighty chunk to undertake, even for a super basic outline. Even the shortest of snippets for each part are going to be long for Read More
