One often hears there is really no difference between the Real Mass and The Lil' Licit Liturgy but ABS thinks the difference is easy to identify by just isolating one one aspect of the Real Mass and how it was destroyed by the revolutionaries.
The Paul VI liturgical revolution resulted in the radicals killing the Sacrificial Prayers of the Traditional Offertory and replacing it with the Meal Prayers of the Messias-Deniers.
If that doesn't tell you the radical revolutionaries think the Lord's Supper is all about a meal, then nothing will.
Now, call me old fashioned, call me anti semitic, but ABS prefers the Traditional prayers of those who believe Jesus Christ is the Messias vs the prayers of those who deny Jesus Christ is the Messias.

Lil' Licit Liturgy

Offering of the Bread and Wine
|
Presentation and Preparation of the Gifts
|
The Priest takes the paten with the host, and offering it up, says:
|
The Priest, standing at the altar, takes the paten with the bread and holds is slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:
|
Accept, O Holy father, Almighty and Eternal God, this spotless host, which I, Your unworthy servant, offer to You, my living and true God, to atone for my numberless sins, offences, and negligences; on behalf of all here present and likewise for all faithful Christians living and dead, that it may profit me and them as a means of salvation to life everlasting. Amen.
|
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the bread we offer you: fruit of the earth and work of hymn hands, it will become for us the bread of life.
|
Making the Sign of the Cross with the paten, he places the host upon the corporal. (He places the paten partly under the corporal.)
|
He places the paten and host on the corporal,
|
If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:
“Blessed be God for ever.”
| |
He pours wine and water into the chalice, blessing the water before it is mixed.
|
The Deacon, or the Priest, pours wine and a little water into the chalice, saying quietly.
|
O God, ✠ Who in creating man didst exalt his nature very wonderfully and yet more wonderfully didst establish it anew; by the Mystery signified in the mingling of this water and wine, grant us to have part in the Godhead of Him Who hath deigned to become a partaker of our humanity, Jesus Christ, Thy Son our Lord; Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
|
By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the divinity of Christ who humbled himself to share in our humanity.
|
Offering of the Chalice
| |
Then the Priest takes the chalice, and offers it, saying:
|
The Priest then takes the chalice and holds it slightly raised above the altar with both hands, saying in a low voice:
|
We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, entreating Thy mercy that our offering may ascend with a sweet fragrance in the sight of Thy divine Majesty, for our own salvation, and for that of the whole world. Amen.
|
Blessed are you, Lord God of all creation, for through your goodness we have received the wine we offer you: fruit of the vine and work of human hands, it will become our spiritual drink.
|
The Priest makes the Sign of the Cross with the chalice, places it upon the corporal, and covers it with the pall.
|
Then he places the chalice on the corporal.
|
If, however, the Offertory Chant is not sung, the Priest may speak these words aloud; at the end, the people may acclaim:
“Blessed be God for ever.”
| |
Then, with his hands joined upon the Altar, and slightly bowing down, he says:
|
After this, the Priest, bowing profoundly, says quietly:
|
Humbled in spirit and contrite of heart, may we find favor with Thee, O Lord: and may our sacrifice be so offered this day in Thy sight as to be pleasing to Thee, O Lord God.
|
With humble spirit and contrite hearty may we be accepted by you, O Lord, and may our sacrifice in your sight this day be pleasing to you, Lord God.
|
Raising his eyes towards heaven, extending and then joining his hands, the Priest makes the Sign of the Cross over the host and chalice, while he invokes the Holy Spirit:
| |
Come Thou, the Sanctifier, Almighty and Everlasting God, and bless ✠ this sacrifice which is prepared for the glory of Thy holy Name.
