Welcome, Miriam!
I look forward to hearing more about your journey.
Did you have a positive experience with RCIA?

Thanks for the welcome, all.
I loved the Easter Vigil and my family came as well even though I am the only Catholic.
I'm really lucky in the parish I chose. It's smallish but growing and has daily mass, 4 masses on Sunday, including Latin; Adoration all day Thursday and a really active Catholic community. God bless our priest, he is awesome.
I have attended the Latin Mass several times and I like it but I miss the Bible readings we have in the regular mass. I can see why Catholics might not know the Bible well if they don't spend time reading it on their own since it isn't done in our Latin Mass.

| Welcome to the forum Miriam. I grew up on the latin mass and there were always two readings. I assumed it was a required part of the liturgy of the word. This might be some sort of "innovation" in your parish

i think it might be a time issue then. Latin mass is at 9:00 and right after that is another mass at 10:30.
So we start at 7:30 am, then 9:00, 10:30, then the Spanish mass at 12:00.

| they are not allowed to remove the readings to maybe it isn't technically a Mass but a prayer service or some other category.

We use the Latin Missal with English translation on the facing pages (red book). There are no gospel readings that I have noticed.

They may not be included in the missal, but scripture readings are required in the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. I remember as a child that even when the priest read the scriptures in Latin, a lay reader would read them at the same time in English, but I'm not certain that it was required back then. That was a L-O-N-G time ago. As a teen (and a seminarian), I often read the first reading myself. The gospel was always read by the deacon or priest. It's not impossible that the gospel may have been read in Latin by the priest, and then he read it again in English. I'm just not sure. However, the Liturgy of the Word has always been a required portion of the mass, dating back to the Acts of the Apostles.
Today, permission is specifically granted to read all scripture readings in the vernacular (the language of the people). This is specified in Summorum Pontificum, Article 6.

Thanks for the info.
