Mass
The Mass ordinary (Latin: Ordinarium Missae), or Ordinary of the Mass, or the ordinarium parts of the Mass, is the generally invariable set of texts of the Mass according to Western Christian liturgical rites such as the Roman Rite and the Lutheran Rite. This contrasts with the proper (proprium) which are items of the Mass that change with the feast or following the Liturgical Year. Ordinary of the Mass may refer to the ordinarium parts of the Mass or to the Order of Mass (which includes the proprium parts).
