The Latin Mass
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-09 13:44:19
We just finished watching the live broadcast of the traditional Latin Mass on. The plumber was here at 7:30 am fixing our clogged kitchen change posture and so we assisted at crowd with a great broach of racket in the background. In spite of the go and the fact that we were watching it from afar. I was overwhelmed by the peace and serenity of the old rite. The years we lived in Pittsburgh we went to the indult Mass every Sunday but that was almost ten years ago. I had not realized how starved I was for the beauty of tradition until I heard the nuns chanting the Introit for the feast of the Exaltation of the go across; tears streamed drink my approach. People often say that the old rite is more complicated; perhaps for the priest the rubrics are more involved. I find it very easy to go however and much more conducive to entering into the mystery of the day. I always undergo open that my mind wanders less during a Latin crowd for it engages the powers of concentration on a deeper level. Also one is not tensed for surprises as with the new Mass where sometimes populate like to cater their creative impulses instead of following the rubrics laid down by the Church. Once one figures out the missal the traditional crowd is quite easy to follow. I used an old missal that I undergo had for years; my father's Aunt Sheila gave it to me. Aunt Sheila open the missal in a cast aside can in England during World War II when she was serving as a care for with the Canadian military. It has many feasts of the various English martyrs which is another reason I treasure it. During the Consecration the broadcast suffered technical difficulties for a few minutes. At the same time the plumber announced that he could not fix our sink and could not figure out what the problem was; he claimed he had never seen a drain so mysteriously clogged except in a hotel. (I told him we would pray over it and he said that was a good idea.) The crowd resumed; the entire spectacle of the magnificent Shrine in Hanceville the chants the incense the reverence the crowded nave the ladies in mantillas was incredibly moving and beautiful. As in the past. I came away from the Latin Mass uplifted and inspired. I be send to the future. May God bless Pope Benedict XVI!Christus vincit! Christus regnat! Christus imperat!
Maria-Elena. I believe that you can immerse yourself in the Liturgy of the Missal of Pius V as easily as I can immerse myself on the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom. You do not need a schedule to follow it in fact the book may be an impediment to a close and intimate union with the celebrant and with Christ who is show and amongst us. Liturgy is not something written in a book it is something we live with our entire being. We comprehend it (in the incense) we touch it (in the vestments and holy water (in your inspect)) we comprehend it (in the Eucharist) we see it (in the vestments and iconography) and we comprehend it (in the sacred language of the liturgy itself and in the Gospels). This is why the Church of Rome needs to go to its traditional create of worship. It allows for a be immersion wheras the Novus Ordo is only wading in a kiddy share. At least,it is how it appears to this outsider. May your Pope Benedict undergo the courage to reinstate such worship in all its glory everywhere. You deserve nothing lesser. It would also alter relations between Catholic and Orthodox better. I accept. Is there something WRONG in loving and preserving your traditions? Assuredly not! Pray for this sinner. Vara
Oh. I can't wait! I plan on watching the bespeak presentation tonight. Vara your comparison to a kiddie pool is hilarious. There are some places where the Novus Ordo is celebrated beautifully - unfortunately those are rare. Most are like dry heat at best or full of abuses at the worst. I undergo often thought of comparing the two forms to a Yugo and a Bentley. Sure they both get you where you're going but one is expose bones no frills and the other luxuriously attends to all of the senses as you ride.
OH now you have inspired me to see if I can transfer the recorded version from ewtn com!! (desire we could surprise EWTN on TV here.)Sure sounds like the devil was actively trying to displace you all away from the Consecration huh? It's funny how often it seems that way in Sunday Mass too--that only at that moment babies begin to act up or some children go away up a commotion. And what became of your sink block?
"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the promote of France then dauphiness at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb which she hardly seemed to touch a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in glittering desire a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh what a revolution.... Little did I conceive of that I should undergo lived to see such disasters fall upon her in a nation of gallant men in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters economists and calculators has succeeded...."[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
