The Traditional Latin Mass (TLM) is the liturgy of the Roman Rite which existed from around the fourth century until 1962. The most noticeable differences between the new mass and the TLM are that the TLM is primarily in latin, the priest faces towards the altar, and holy communion is received exclusively while kneeling and on the tongue. The TLM is a beautiful expression of the holy sacrifice of the mass that spiritually nourished many great saints throughout history.
