sixpence Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 After all these discussions about extraordinary vs ordinary form, I found out that there is a nearby shrine chapel that celebrates TLM on sunday and wednesday. I was considering going today. I have never been. Advice??? things to be aware of??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeresaBenedicta Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm sure the more regulars to the TLM will give you more structured advice... but I would say, just take it in. It's a completely different way of worship than we're used-- much more mysterious. I wouldn't worry about trying to follow along in the missal... just take it in. Follow what others do. And just really experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Will it be a high Mass or a low Mass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilde Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 The first time you might not understand a lot of what's going on but don't be discouraged, it takes time to get used to it. I find the TLM to be less "now we do this, now we do that" like the NO, and more floating in its prayer in a way that comes more natural to me.

And there won't be a [url="http://www.amazon.com/Conflict-Martin-Sheen/dp/B0001M8RHK"]"reach out and touch your neighbor,"[/url] either. The movie described in the link is excellent.

[/quote] Yea, this. You're going to get lost unless you understand Latin. Don't sweat it. Lol, especially if it's a Low Mass. The only time I was at a Low Mass I was lost right up until the priest was elevating the Eucharist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tridenteen Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 JMJ The best part is that no one really cares what you do or whether you follow along as long as you leave them be. No hand shaking, back slapping, dancing or anyhting else required. Please leave your drums and ro acoustic guitar at home. Sternhauser, you are right on the money about kneeling. I had a knee infection 2 months ago, and had to sit the whole Mass. It really hit me what an exercise opportunity the Mass is[img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif[/img] [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/smokey.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
