How are you doing? I am learning to serve and am very excited.

Have you served yet? If so how was it

I served Low Mass at 6:30 this morning (Octave of Pentecost) with my kid brother, probably about my 20th time. It's really a breeze now I've got it down. It was a little difficult and tense the first couple times but it's definately worth the time and sweat and it gets easy with time.

I started serving last week as well, served about 6 low masses and it gets easier every time

@@Johnny.Bronze that great. Ive started serving over a month ago and its great. Will serve on my own next week too. God bless

How time flies!

@@SKai-tt22 best not to reveal personal information randomly on the internet even if it is just a person’s real name… but purely out of curiosity, why do you ask?

I wish I could too. Sadly most priests in the Philippines have no interest in this kind of mass.

@@instantinople3796 not bcuz of no interest, it's bcuz the holy father said that we can only celebrate it with the bishops permition

Me too with the FSSPX. Good luck!

Same, that was the way our priest and the more experienced servers told me it was done.

where do you live?

I have posted this with the expectation that if there is an objection for copyright infringement, I will respect it and remove the video. No one, thus far, has objected.

Out of curiosity did you make a version with Polish subtitles? If you did then I would love to see the link to that.

No, AC 1 always handles the missal, it is AC 2's job to say Deo gratias when the epistle is finished because AC 1 is not always able to see the priests hand because of the vestments the priest has on

This was primarily filmed in the Holy Family Cathedral in Tulsa, Oklahoma. (Some of the scenes with brick in the background were filmed at different location and added in postproduction editing.)

He should decline to receive. Embarrassment shouldn't be an issue. There are multiple reasons why a server might not receive, such as serving more than two Masses in a day, illness, or not observing the Communion fast. I've attended numerous Masses where a server didn't receive. It doesn't necessarily mean he's not in the state of grace. Assume the best but, if the server needs to go to Confession, he should refrain from Communion until he does.

Should he be on the altar to adore the eucharist?

@@praneetekka1002 Anyone who knows they are not in the state of grace, i.e. conscious of a mortal sin committed, should pursue Confession as soon as possible. A server not in the state of grace has access to a priest whom he can approach and say "I need to go to Confession." Perhaps he may have to wait until after Mass and decline to receive Communion. But, having already expressed contrition ("I need to go to Confession") should suffice to be in the presence of God on the altar without guilt or sacrilege. But, overall, no one is barred from a church for not being in the state of grace. Being there could move one to contrition for sins committed. Throughout the life of Our Lord, sinners were in His presence. Some were moved, others were not. But He didn't send any away with instructions not to come back until you're free of sin!

I learned that when a server cannot receive the Eucharist, he should place a finger vertically in front of his mouth to signal to the priest. This signal would probably be understood by any priest even if the signal is not customarily used at his parish.

In my youth, the bell was rung once at the first genuflection, once at the elevation, and once at the second genuflection. I don't think there's a real "should" here. The custom was that bells were rung at the genuflections and elevations. Apparently local customs varied. I'd never heard the bells rung three times at the elevations until returning to the Latin Mass in a FSSP setting.

@@TerryCarrollSharedSermons it is amazing how many little details varied by local customs even in the Latin Mass. Mostly all the obvious and critical aspects were the same but way more little details varied from place to place than a lot of people realize.

Exactly

That's how to do it. It's easy.

@marybeahm2556 still looking to buy a copy?

FSSP

They servers say prayers and responses during the mass which are always the same, so yeah they just learn them

There are cards printed with the server responses, but after a couple of months most servers have the responses memorized.

Ideally the sever would memorize the responses (they are always the same). However it is not uncommon for servers to use little cards or even a small Missal (book) to read the responses. That being said though the most proper way is for the servers to memorize the responses.

Nikolai Buchenkov Here in Brazil they use the red wine in every single mass, even in the Novus Ordo. I think you can choose

It can be either red or white. We use white in my parish. It's called Agnus Dei if I'm not mistaken.

White wine is now used for practical reasons. Red wine used to be more common in the past. An explanation for this comes from a former priest in my home parish. He said you take white wine to prevent confusion with blood. If the contents of the chalice suddenly became red during Mass, a miracle would have to be assumed.

​@@Ul.BI have never seen white wine being used. Where do you live that this is customary?

@@szymongorczynski7621 As I already said it is being done for practical reasons. The colour is simply your priests own decision, but it is better not to use red whine for the mentioned reasons. The other question sounds a bit too belligerent.

Confidence in what? Can you suggest a better video, provide specific details on the deficiencies of this one? Otherwise you're just a graceless troll offering darkness as a comment.

I’m pretty sure that particular detail is one that is somewhat based on local traditions. I’ve seen it done some places and not done other places… I believe it is actually relatively uncommon these days.

@@johnnydoe7846 The servers always kiss the cruits at every Latin Mass I have attended. I wouldnt say it is uncommon, but still observed widely. But who knows

this is just a low mass, wait till you see a high mass, or a solemn high mass!

I have no idea. I don't even remember where I found this video. It's not mine. Maybe the owner will discover this here, ask me to take it down, answer all your questions, and point us to where he might be selling it.

@@TerryCarrollSharedSermons oh, ok ic thanks!

It is Holy Family Cathedral Church in Tulsa Oklahoma

@@alessandrocalderoni5096 that is correct… I’m kind of curious how you know though?

@@johnnydoe7846 It's where I became a priest through ordination so I'm very familiar with the cathedral's interior/exterior

Curt D maybe you suffer from misaphonia like me 😟

I know right

The 1962 Missal does not require the Confiteor before Communion.

@@TerryCarrollSharedSermons I still say (serve) the Confiteor before Holy Communion. Sadly, our Mass is now banned as from Easter.

Lol it is old but not quite that old.

@@johnnydoe7846 I meant the camera quality or resolution and the way it looks

@@cardboardcapeii4286 true

@@cardboardcapeii4286 funny you should say that actually… the church with the brick walls in a couple of the shots was probably actually in in it’s prime somewhere around the 70’s. (The shots where there is a brick background are in a different church than the rest of the video.)

Your mind is ruined

@@carolingian5736 Do you deny that they look into each other’s eyes at 29:00? Damn, if they act that way in front of a camera I can only imagine what intimacy they have in the sacristy…

Don't worry, singing at the coral is very beautyfull too!

Thank you for reflections which, as a Catholic, I judge wide of the mark. No faithful Catholic understands the theology of the Mass as you describe. The Mass is the highest exercise of the virtue of religion which, you may know, is part of the virtue of justice. In the Mass, we offer to God what is His due. Catholics understand this as offering to God the Father the Sacrifice of His Son in an unbloody but real manner. It is a re-presentation of the Sacrifice of Calvary which could hardly be described as "a joyful community that joins, sings, and prays as equal participants taking on their respective roles." Being present at Mass is the primary form of participation just as it was on Calvary. I don't expect you to understand or agree with me here because you are not seeing the Mass through a Catholic lens informed by faith. But, if you would like to hear an enthusiastic Catholic speak about the Mass after his conversion from Anglicanism, watch Gavin Ashenden only yesterday at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJ-noMtqxsqcc2Q.html. You are welcome to comment. Just understand that you are in a Catholic space and respect those who post here.
