They contain certain prayers that the priest must say during the Mass, and their only purpose is as a memory aid, although they are usually very beautifully decorated.

When Pope Pius V Pope St. Pius V restored the Missal, only the card at the middle of the altar was used, and it was called the Tabella Secretarum . The left card was added first, and then the right one was added for the sake of symmetry. Content of the cards The altar card on the left contains the Last Gospel John 1 1 14 , which is said at the very end of the Mass. The card on the right contains the prayer for blessing the wine and water Deus qui humanae substantiae and the psalm Lavabo, which the priest says when he washes his hands. The center card contains the Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria , the prayer Munda cor meum which the priest recites before reading the Gospel, the Nicene Creed Credo , the prayer for offering the Host Suscipe, Sancte Pater , the words of Consecration and several of the prayers of the Canon of the Mass .
