The Sacrifice of the Mass

Filmed at one of the International Seminaries of the society of St Pius X (France). You can follow the Mass using your Missal.

Traditional Latin Mass filmed on Easter Sunday in 1941 at Our Lady of Sorrows church in Chicago. The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa Solemnis or Solemn High Mass in full detail with narration by then-Mgr. Fulton J. Sheen. Celebrated by Rev. J. R. Keane of the Order of Servites (hence the white habits and cowls), the ceremonies are accompanied by a full polyphonic choir, orchestra, and fifty Gregorian Chanters.
We Recommend you follow the Mass in your Missal.

Note: This is a humerous but very good explanation of reasons why we sit, stand & kneel at Mass. The narator refers to the New Order of the Mass - not the Latin Mass in which one does even more standing & kneeling!
