Jesus Spoke The Words “Mystery Of Faith” In The Consecration

On this Holy Thursday it’s useful to recall that when Our Lord established the Eucharist He included the words “mystery of faith” (mysterium fidei) in the form of consecration. Even though those words were not recorded in the Gospels, they were preserved by Apostolic Tradition. Papal teaching and the canon of the Mass confirmed that those words were part of the original consecration.

St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Pt. III, Q. 78, A. 3, Reply to Obj. 9: “The words added, namely, ‘eternal’ and ‘mystery of faith’, were handed down to the Church by the Apostles, who received them from our Lord…”

Pope Innocent III, Cum Marthae Circa, Nov. 29: “In the Canon of the Mass that expression, ‘mysterium fidei,’ is found interposed among His words… Surely we find many such things omitted from the words as well as from the deeds of the Lord by the Evangelists, which the Apostles are read to have supplied by word or to have expressed by deed… Therefore, we believe that the form of words, as they are found in the Canon, the Apostles received from Christ, and their successors from them.”

When the horrible Novus Ordo Missae (the New Mass) was introduced by Antipope Paul VI as part of his attempt to destroy the Catholic Church, among its many other changes and novelties, the words “mystery of faith” were removed from the form of consecration. In the form of consecration in the Traditional Mass, the words “mystery of faith” specifically signified the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. However, in the New Mass the words “mystery of faith” were moved to a place after the consecration and given a different signification. Besides the many other problems with the New Mass, that change alone means that the New Mass cannot be considered valid, according to the teaching of Pope St. Pius V. The New Mass must be completely avoided.

We discuss this matter and more in this video: The New Mass Lacks The “Mystery Of Faith” (Novus Ordo Modernists Refuted).

The removal of “mystery of faith” was very symbolic because those words have a special connection to St. Peter and the Roman Church. Of course, the most obvious change to the form of consecration that occurred after Vatican II was the change of the words “for you and for many” to “for you and for all”. Jesus did not say “for you and for all” when instituting the Eucharist. Hence, the inclusion of “for all” in the consecration form of countless New Masses for decades was an outrageous, heretical and blasphemous falsification of what Our Lord actually said when instituting the Eucharist. It means that those “Masses” were certainly invalid. That’s also covered in the aforementioned video.
