Solemn High Requiem Mass

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest
Solemn High Requiem Mass
for the
Commemoration of All Faithful Departed
November 3rd, 2008
The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a society of apostolic life of Pontifical Right whose goal is the honor of God and the
sanctification of priests in the service of the Church and souls. Its specific aim is missionary: to spread the reign of our Lord Jesus Christ in
all the spheres of human life. Our whole Institute is consecrated to Our
Lady of the Immaculate Conception.
The Institute was founded in 1990 by Monsignor Gilles Wach and
Father Philippe Mora in Gabon, Africa, where we still have missions.
Today, the motherhouse and International seminary of the Institute is
located in Gricigliano, in the Archdiocese of Florence, Italy.
Recognizing the importance of a deep harmony between faith, liturgy and life and the power of beauty in attracting the human senses to
the things above, an integral part of the Institute‟s charism is the use of
the extraordinary form of the Latin Rite according to the motu proprio
Summorum Pontificum. Great care for a solemn liturgy, complete fidelity
to the doctrine of the Church and the Holy Father, and awareness of
the central role of Grace and especially of Charity -- these are essential
elements of the Institute‟s spirituality, which is drawn from its three copatrons, St. Benedict, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis de Sales. Our
motto, taken from St. Paul, is “Live the truth in charity”.
The Institute operates in more than 50 locations in 12 countries.
To assist our priests in their apostolic work, the Institute also has clerical oblates. In 2004, a community of religious sisters with the title
„Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus” was canonically established. The
Sisters Adorers concentrate on a contemplative lifestyle. Following the
original inspiration of St. Francis de Sales for the Sisters of the Visitation, they are not cloistered and aid the priests through prayer, care for
the liturgical apparel and apostolic work for the female youth.

After Mass, the priest removes the chasuble, and, vested in a black cope, stands at the
foot of the catafalque while the choir sings:

The Celebrant ascends the altar with his ministers while reciting the following prayer quietly : STAND

Saints, deign in your mercy to pardon me
all my sins. Amen.
He then turns toward the altar missal and makes the sign of the cross over the missal as he begins the
Introit prayer which the schola began singing during the prayers at the foot of the altar:
INTROIT 4 Esdras 2:34-35.

for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall rise again incorruptable, and we shall
be changed. for this corruptable must put
on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. And when this mortal
hath put on immortality, then shall come
to pass the saying that is written: Death is
swallowed up in victory. O death, where
is thy victory? O death where is thy sting?
Now the sting of death is sin: and the
strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to
God, who hath given us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

n the beginning was the Word, and
erat Verbum, et Verbum
Ibum.neratPrincípio
apud Deum, et Deus erat Ver- I the Word was with God; and the
Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Word was God. He was in the beginning
with God. All things were made through
Him, and without Him was made nothing that has been made. In Him was life,
and the life was the Light of men. And
the Light shines in the darkness; and the
darkness grasped it not. There was a
man, one sent from God, whose name
was John. This man came as a witness, to
bear witness concerning the Light, that
all might believe through Him. He was
not himself the Light, but was to bear
witness to the Light. It was the true Light
that enlightens every man who comes
into the world. He was in the world, and
the world was make through Him, and
the world knew Him not. He came unto
His own, and His own received Him not.
But to as many as received Him He gave
the power of becoming the children of
God; to those who believe in His Name:
Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso
factum est nihil quod factum est: in ipso

per illum. Non erat lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine. Erat lux
vera quæ illúminat omnem hóminem
veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo
erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et
mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria

The reception of Holy Communion is a sign that the communicant accepts and believes all that
the Roman Catholic Church holds and teaches.
In the ancient Latin rite celebrated according to the liturgical books of 1962, the communicant receives
the Sacred Host on the tongue while kneeling. The “Amen” is said by the priest.
After Communion the Priest returns to the altar and reposes any remaining Hosts in the Tabernacle.
He then continues with the ablutions assisted by the Deacon and Subdeacon.

grant that no trace of sin be found in me,
whom these pure and holy mysteries
have renewed. You, Who live and reign,
world without end. Amen.
Having purified the Chalice the Celebrant now moves to the Epistle side where the Subdeacon pours
water and wine over his fingers into the Chalice to purify them.
The priest recites the communion antiphon which the schola sings during Communion.

Receiving the Precious Blood of our Savior, he says:

Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution
grant thy gift of absolution,
ere the day of retribution.
Ingemisco, tamquam reus:

Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
all my shame with anguish owning;
spare, O God, thy suppliant groaning!
Qui Mariam absolvisti,

Thou the sinful woman savedst;
thou the dying thief forgavest;
and to me a hope vouchsafest.
Preces meæ non sunt dignæ:

With thy favored sheep O place me;

voca me cum benedictis.
While the wicked are confounded,
doomed to flames of woe unbounded
call me with thy saints surrounded.
R. Amen.

While the offertory music is being sung the Celebrant continues with the prayers of the Mass. From this
point forward the Celebrant will say most of the prayers in a whispered tone. Taking the paten, the
Celebrant offers the host, saying quietly:

which I, Thy unworthy servant, offer

The Celebrant strikes his breast three times as he says the Agnus Dei which is sung meanwhile by the
choir.

Formerly the offerings to be used at the Agape or brotherly meal of the early Christians were now blessed.
This explains the insertion of the crosses in the following prayer.

The Celebrant finishes the Canon. He takes the Host and the Chalice and lifts them heavenwards.

Making the sign of the cross with the paten, the Celebrant places the host upon the corporal. The Deacon
and Subdeacon prepare the chalice. Blessing the water before it is poured, the Celebrant says:

His divine nature Who vouchsafed to
become partaker of our human nature,
even Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord;
Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world

The Celebrant offers the chalice, saying:

Amen.
Thy divine Majesty as a sweet odor, for
our salvation and that of the whole
world. Amen.
After making the sign of the cross with the chalice, the Celebrant places it upon the corporal, and the
Deacon covers it with the pall. The Subdeacon now receives the paten and, enveloping it in the humeral
veil, goes and stands in his position behind the Celebrant. Meanwhile the Celebrant, bowing slightly, says:

The Celebrant alone is incensed at the Mass of Requiem. Then he goes to the Epistle side of the altar for
the washing of his fingers, “to wash away the last traces of our impurities,” remarks St. Augustine.
During this ceremony, the Celebrant recites Psalm 25:

house, and the place where Thy glory
dwelleth. Take not away my soul, O
God, with the wicked, nor my life with
bloody men. In whose hands are iniquities: their right hand is filled with gifts.
But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me. My
foot hath stood in the direct way; in the
churches I will bless Thee, O Lord.

Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus : per
Christum Dominum nostrum. In quo
nobis spes beatae resurrectionis effulsit,
ut quos contristat certa moriendi conditio, eosdem consoletur futurae immortalitatis promissio. Tuis enim fidelibus,
Domine, vita mutatur, non tollitur: et
dissoluta terrestris hujus incolatus domo,
aeterna in caelis habitatio comparatur. Et

gloriae tuae canimus, sine fine dicentes:
and Dominions, and with all the heavenly
hosts, we sing a hymn to Thy glory, saying without ceasing:
SANCTUS

Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis.

The Celebrant bows low, kisses the altar, and asks God through Jesus Christ to accept our offerings. He
makes over the host and chalice three signs of the cross, showing that Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross obtained
for us the blessing of the three Divine Persons.
