MISSA SICCA

FOR PRIVATE USE ONLY

CONSOCIATIO CORDIS IMMACULATI

MMXXII
APPENDIX I: PRAEFATIO
The ‘missa sicca’ devotion is not a substitute for the Mass.

The missa sicca was originally a medieval devotion that has fallen out of use in the years antecedent
and following the Council of Trent. However, it has experienced a resurgence in some circles,
including the Association of the Immaculate Heart, which finds this devotion expedient to enrich the
love of liturgy and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. This version of the Missa Sicca is based upon
the Missal of 1962, the edition of the Roman Rite promulgated by St. John XXIII.

This form of devotion is not regulated by Traditionis Custodes. However, if read in a group, it is
commendable to proclaim the readings in the vernacular. This devotion can be used in most settings,
but it is best used in the pretext of a Holy Hour. Although the preferred language is ecclesiastical
Latin, in accordance with the spirit of the Association of the Immaculate Heart, it may be said in the
vernacular, which is provided too.

APPENDIX II. THE PRAYERS

It is commendable to say this short prayer before beginning this devotion:

Aperi, Domine, os meum ad benedicendum Open, O Lord, my mouth to bless your holy
nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum name; cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and
ab omnibus vanis, perversis et alienis wandering thoughts; enlighten my
cogitationibus; intellectum illumina, affectum understanding and kindle my affections; that I
inflamma, ut digne, attente ac devote haec may worthily, attentively, and devoutly say
orationes recitare valeam, et exaudiri merear these prayers, and so deserve to be heard before
ante conspectum divinae Majestatis tuae. Per the presence of your divine Majesty. Through
Christum Dóminum nostrum. Christ our Lord.
