Worldwide Prayer to Preserve The Latin Mass

Urgent appeal to the Catholic Faithful throughout the world

Please pray a daily prayer or perform an act of penance each day of Lent for the preservation of the ancient Latin Mass! A minimum of one Ave each day, but more is encouraged! Let us join together in unison throughout the world and delight Heaven with the sound of the ancient and powerful prayer in the universal language.

The Intention: That Popes Saint John Paul II, Saint John XXIII, and Benedict XVI will intercede for us and beg God to prevent current Church leaders from further suppression of the Latin Mass.

The Prayer: Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

What Is The Preserve The Latin Mass Movement

The traditional liturgy has nourished many saints throughout the centuries and continues to edify a growing number of souls throughout the Catholic Church today. Catholics of all backgrounds value and treasure this Mass and many non-Catholics are inspired by its beauty and majesty.

This Mass is an integral part of our collective heritage and must be preserved.

We see the eventual prohibition or severe restriction of the Traditional Latin Mass and sacraments as a loss, not only to the many Catholics who regularly lift up their hearts to God in this form of worship, but to all Catholics, and to humanity in general.

Preserve the Latin Mass, Una Voce International and others, appeal to all Catholics of good will, to offer prayers and penances during the season of Lent, particularly for the intention of : the liberty of the Traditional Mass.

About Preserve The Latin Mass

We are surprised and saddened by the issuance of the document Traditionis Custodes by Pope Francis and even more so by the recent response of the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship. It is difficult to reconcile these actions with the commitments and promises made by Pope Francis' predecessors, St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.

We wish to continue in harmony with the Holy Father, Pope Francis, while spiritually benefiting from the graciousness of Pope Benedict XVI who encouraged all priests of the Roman Rite who desired to celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass and sacraments through his motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum.
Far from driving Catholics away, the Latin Mass has helped many to think with the mind of the Church, recognizing Vatican II as a true ecumenical council and the Liturgy of Pope Paul VI as a real re-presentation of the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The wide and generous acceptance of the usus antiquior, or traditional rites, has produced a healing within the Church that allows many Catholics to draw closer to Christ and to the heart of their Mother, the Church. It has been especially helpful in reconciling those who have felt abandoned by their shepherds in the past.
We are saddened too, at the thought of the possible loss of the beauty of the Traditional Liturgy which hearkens back more than fifteen hundred years and has inspired great works of art, literature, music, poetry, and architecture for centuries.
