i really need to locate a church that says mass the pre vatican II way if not in latin, then at least using the gorgeous english translation on that page. i've mentioned some of my favourite lines, but look at how they used to read:

Into their [the saints'] company we implore You to admit us, not weighing our merits, but freely granting us pardon.

Let not the partaking of Thy Body, Lord Jesus Christ, which I, though unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my judgment and condemnation; but through Thy loving kindness, may it be to me a safeguard and a remedy for soul and body, Who with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, forever and ever. Amen.

May Thy Body, Lord, which I have eaten, and Thy Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my very soul, and grant that no trace of sin be found in me, whom these pure and holy mysteries have renewed: Thou, Who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.


and everything else. this is too good for me, i would die in ecstasy in church if words like that had to come out of my mouth, and yet i must find it.
