AN EASY-TO-USE training guide for teaching the proper liturgical pronunciation of the Latin responses made by the altar server at Mass.
The card's
exterior
partitions contain the Latin responses with their corresponding English phonetic renderings per the
more romano (like the Romans) liturgical pronunciation as endorsed by Popes St. Pius X, Benedict XV, and Pius XI.
Also included are
expanded rubrical instructions for the liturgical gestures and reverences made in connection with the responses, and
the responses made when serving for a bishop. The
layout of the exterior partitions was carefully arranged to allow card’s use at the altar if necessary.
The card’s
inside
partitions contain helpful explanations and basic rules about making the responses,
more romano pronunciation, a list of common pronunciation mistakes made by English-speakers, and even several informative and authoritative footnotes.
Red and black text was printed on heavy matte paper stock (to keep
the card stiff when being held), then coated with a matte varnish to increase the anti-glare property and protect the card from moisture and frequent
use.
Measures
folded at 11 14/16" x 4¼" (folds out completely to 17”
wide).
