The Roman Missal: Common of Saints, Apostles to Many Martyrs (English)

Part of The Roman Missal

In historical use by: Catholic (the Roman Rite, in the Tridentine form used until the liturgical reform of the 1960s) — The Common of Saints, from the Vigil of an Apostle to the Common of many Martyrs, in the English of F. C. Husenbeth's 1853 Missal for the use of the Laity: the Masses used on a saint's day when the Missal has no Mass of its own for that saint. A liturgical text of the Catholic Church, not scripture: its Lessons, Epistles and Gospels are readings from Scripture, but the rest is prayer. The form carried here is the one in use from the Council of Trent until the 1950s reform; the Church has since revised the rite. English only for now; the Latin is to be added.

The Common of Saints, from the Vigil of an Apostle to the Common of many Martyrs (printed pages I to XXVI), in English, as printed in the Rev. F. C. Husenbeth's Missal for the use of the Laity (London, 1853), in the form used from the Council of Trent until the liturgical reform of the 1950s. These are the Masses said on a saint's day when the Missal gives that saint no Mass of his own; where the Missal prints variants for a martyr and bishop, a martyr only, or many martyrs, each is marked. The Common of Confessors, Doctors, Abbots, Virgins and Holy Women follows in the next book. This is the English only; the Latin of the chants and psalms is to be added. The words in square brackets are the Missal's own headings and directions. A liturgy of the Catholic Church, not scripture.
