Hi, guys —
A priest who says Mass at our church says,
at the consecration of the wine:
Do these things in memory of Me.
instead of:
Do this in memory of Me.
- Is this a valid consecration or licit consecration of the wine?

Do the words this priest used still establish a valid or licit consecration of the wine at Mass? }

Hi, Marti —
It's illicit but valid.
For it to be invalid, he would have to
say something not equivalent to This
is my body and
This is my blood, or
have the wrong intention.

Eric,
Thank you so much, and God bless
you.
I was avoiding the Masses said by
the aforementioned priest, a visiting
priest who pinch-hits for the priests
in our parish, but he said Mass at
our church this past Friday.
I approached him after Mass, and
asked him if he would consider saying this instead these
things at the consecration
of the wine. His reply to me was:
This
is the way I say the Mass. If you don't like it, you can go
to another Mass.
