just by saying the words of consecration? Omitting the Liturgy of the Word and possibly even the Eucharistic prayers? I just read this account of a recently named Cardinal, and how he said Mass secretly in a Soviet prison. That reminded me of other accounts I've read of priests saying Mass secretly in prison (like in China). Now I think it's safe to assume they didn't have a lectionary.

Would the principle of epikeia apply here given the extreme situation? |

There were votive Masses that could be memorized, and it was the case that priests going blind would memorize one of these and (with permission) say that same Mass everyday. But a whole Mass it must be |
