Does anyone know where I could get English copies of currently used Gallican Rite Liturgies? We're studying ancient liturgies for modern celebration and came across Gallican Liturgies and the reference said that Lyon, France still used an ancient lturgy. That reference cited the beauty of these rites and our class at church would like to learn a bout this family of liturgy and experience that rite. Are any others using the Ambrosian rite or Mosarabic or Celtic Rite today? if so, can I got English translations and hope not too much is lost in translation.

With sincere thanks for any help.

Roman Catholic Churches in France have not used the Rite of Lyon on a regular basis since the 19th century. I think there may have been a one-off liturgy in Lyon, but there hasn't been regular celebration. There was, I believe, a "Gallican Mass" at the recent ROCOR Western Rite conference.

The Ambrosian rite is in use mainly in the Archdiocese of Milan in Italy.

Some of the (modern) Ambrosian books can be found here.

There's been many Ambrosian rite related posts on the web site New Liturgical Movement.

A Mozarabic ordinary can be found here. The rite was reformed after Vatican II. I haven't examined it to see if this is the pre-reform version or not.

It is not widely celebrated nowadays. Wikipedia says:
Quote:
The Mozarabic Rite is celebrated daily in the Corpus Christi Chapel (also called the Mozarabic Chapel) in the Cathedral of Toledo. In Madrid Mozarabic or Gothic Rite is celebrated in Spanish every Tuesday (PÂș Recoletos 11 Monastery of Poor Clare Sisters, 19' 00 h). Two of the original six "Mozarabic" parishes of Toledo remain. About two hundred families in Toledo belong to these parishes and form an association of those who can claim that their families have always belonged to Mozarabic Rite. Additionally, all the churches of Toledo annually celebrate this rite on the Mozarabic Feast of the Incarnation on December 18, and on the feast day of Saint Ildephonsus on January 23. The rite is also used on certain days each year in the Talavera Chapel of the Old Cathedral of Salamanca and less regularly in other cities in Spain. Pope John Paul II celebrated it once in each of the years 1992 and 2000.


I don't know anything about the "Celtic Rite".

Don't forget Braga.

You wrote "currently used". I wonder if you mean those including the post-conciliar reforms. These, I suggest, won't be much use in study of the development of related rites since they are, like the rest of the post-conciliar reforms, artificial.

This, in Latin, might not be what you're looking for:

There is no more Celtic rite, and hasn't been for a very long time.
