Low Mass (in Latin, Missa lecta) is a Tridentine Mass defined officially as Mass in which the priest does not chant the parts that the rubrics assign to him. The view expressed by Adrian Fortescue in 1910, that Missa Cantata "is really a low Mass", has thus been officially rejected, and "the rubrics of the Low Mass do not permit the priest to chant", though singing by others may accompany his celebration of Mass.

  • Low Mass (in Latin, Missa lecta) is a Tridentine Mass defined officially as Mass in which the priest does not chant the parts that the rubrics assign to him. The view expressed by Adrian Fortescue in 1910, that Missa Cantata "is really a low Mass", has thus been officially rejected, and "the rubrics of the Low Mass do not permit the priest to chant", though singing by others may accompany his celebration of Mass. "Private Mass" (in Latin, Missa privata or secreta, familiaris, peculiaris), which is now understood as Mass celebrated without a congregation, formerly meant Low Mass. In editions of the Roman Missal earlier than that of 1962, "Missa privata" was still contrasted with "Missa solemnis". In 1960 Pope John XXIII decried use of the term "Missa privata": "The most sacred Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated according to the rites and regulations is an act of public worship offered to God in the name of Christ and the Church. Therefore, the term 'private Mass' should be avoided." When applied to Low Mass in general, the word privata indicated that that form of Mass was deprived of certain ceremonies. In Low Mass incense is not used and the responses (in Latin) are given by one or more servers. Low Mass was the most common form of Mass before 1969. Its form is exactly the same whether a congregation is present or not. In the 1970 edition of the Roman Missal a distinction was made between Mass celebrated with the people and Mass celebrated without the people. No such distinction was made in earlier (Tridentine) editions of the Roman Missal, which only distinguished between Solemn Mass and Low Mass (calling the latter Missa lecta or, before 1962, Missa privata). The term "Low Mass" is sometimes used also by Christians not in communion with the Holy See for a spoken, not sung, form of their own Eucharistic celebrations. However, this article concerns only the form of the Roman Rite of Mass officially known by that name.
