Resources for TLM Requiem

monasteryliturgist

Dear All,

A family member of mine is dying at present, and I was asked to make the peoples guide, pick readings, and music for the mass (I obviously wont be there being cloistered + the situation of his parish, couldnt be there in habit any way)... He belongs to a Sede Vacantist "Parish".

Does anyone have any resources that would help me put something together. Thanks so much. Please keep his soul in your prayers. His name is William.

Hello, I am very sorry to hear, and will remember him in prayer.

This PDF is an example of what you could do for a service guide, perhaps with an insert for any information relevant to the particular person or music selections. https://www.latinpropers.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Daily-Requiem-Mass-woman.pdf

These should contain the correct readings.

One error there is that the preface is not actually of the Holy Trinity but is the correct Preface for the Dead; the title is just incorrect.

The next PDF is of the standard Requiem ordinaries and propers in chant notation. https://institute-christ-king.org/uploads/music/Common/MassDefunctis_lg.pdf Though it does not contain everything you might want such as Subvenite and In Paradisum. You may want to take a look at another helpfully organized resource, the Parish Book of Chant https://media.musicasacra.com/books/pbc_2nd.pdf has all of it as well, plus the additional responsories, on page 172 of the PDF.

This is an excellent resource, and includes the prayers for the Requiem Mass, as well as the office of the dead:

Here is an english/Latin resource for the text of the Vespers for the dead:

https://www.latinmassfuneral.com/files/2._Officium_Pro_Defunctis_LatinEnglish.pdf

Pages 1637-1648 (of the PDF, not the page numbers as per the table of contents) contain the chants for the office of the dead, and pages 1850-1900 have the readings, notated propers and ordinary of the Mass, as well as the text and music of the burial service:

Thank you so much. He passed away today at 3pm, hour of mercy.

If they’re sedevacantists, they reject the 1962 Roman Missal as well. You’d have to confirm with the place of worship which missal they’re using. The 1920 Roman Missal is commonly used.

@SponsaChristi Yes, I knew that one at least. Im pretty sure they basically do whatever was done during Pius X reign. From what I understand, he is the "last" Pope for them... at least this particular group.
