For any criticism you receive on Latin and reverant Liturgy, be sure their are millions who know not of you or a way to show their support for what you do. You are a true Priest with appropriate pastoral concerns and ways for us to actively participate the way we are supposed to. Please spread the word to your fellow Priests and encourage them to TRY to do these things in their parishes as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-61338325515660699272010-01-31T16:10:22.806-05:002010-01-31T16:10:22.806-05:00UN-bleached candles, Father.

I will certainly place in our budget for next year's EF Solemn High All Souls Mass the appropriate bleached candles. You are absolutely correct in pointing out the fault that lies there-in of "pick and choose", "ignore the rules" yady, yada way of doing things that so many do today, especially with the OF Form. I appreciate the correction! In addition, I'm sure the day will come when I will be requested to do an EF Funeral, so I need these. They will indeed be place in our very frugal budget.<br />--southern ordersFr. Allan J.

I had not memorized these completely at that time, but since have, and no longer need these "cue cards!" So to all my fans who were under the delusion that I could do these by heart, sorry--,but I can now!<br />Fr. Allan McDonaldFr. Allan J.

The parts that are for altar boys or for choir are the parts of the laity, all of them, including the prayers at the foot of the altar, the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Amen, Agnus Dei, Domini Non Sum... as well as all greetings directed to you including the preface dialogue.<br /><br />It is just a matter of feeling comfortable saying and singing the Latin out loud and as we continue to implement it in the OF Mass here in St. Joseph, that'll come to you even easier!Fr.

Perhaps well trained and loud people planted in the congregation or perhaps Masses to teach the rubrics of the EF (similar to what is done for RCIA students) or via some othr method.

Every TLM I attend is a glorious sung Mass with the people joining not only in singing all the dialogue responses but also the Gloria, Credo, etc. Everybody "into" the liturgy, none of the 30-yard stares seen at ordinary Sunday Masses.<br /><br />Indeed, I think it's mainly in the TLM that Vatican II has been implemented pretty well. Which seems appropriate, since the recommendations of Sacrosanctum Consilium were directed at active participation in the traditional Mass, not in some new order of Mass that the Fathers of the Council surely did not envision.<br /><br />Which brings to mind the standard quip that Vatican II has done the TLM a lot more good than the Novus Ordo. And the serious comment that to see genuine active prayerful participation in his diocese, the typical bishop must go to a TLM.<br /><br />But I believe the implementation of the new translation, with its accompanying English chant resources, gives hope for future active participation in the ordinary form as well.Henry Edwardshttp://www.knoxlatinmass.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-62359718635599112152010-01-29T13:53:42.772-05:002010-01-29T13:53:42.772-05:00Agreed fully, the so called "silent" Mas...Agreed fully, the so called "silent" Mass was never the intention of Holy Church :)Joe of St. Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506671882770822003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-31662476739568412282010-01-29T12:32:20.241-05:002010-01-29T12:32:20.241-05:00Hehe!!

Focus heart and soul on your words, your thoughts, you body language and PARTICIPATE IN THE SACRIFICE.<br /><br />My heart cries out in anguish as I watch week after week at far too many people who are at Mass to get their ticket punched. "I fulfilled my obligation, I'm going to heaven." Meanwhile their minds are on their taxes and they couldn't tell you what color vestments Father wore.<br /><br />Please Father, stay the course and let the Holy Spirit guide you. You may even lose some parishioners in the end, but the ones you keep will be much better Catholics in AND out of Church. <br /><br />My Lord forgive us, for we shame you with our selfishness. May the Martyrs of Our Faith have mercy upon we who are too blind to make the smallest of sacrifices.Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204866760862707908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-23709715165391181972010-01-29T10:43:43.657-05:002010-01-29T10:43:43.657-05:00See my comment about whining parishioners in the p...See my comment about whining parishioners in the posting on the Children teaching the adults the Latin responses...Chironomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024533507945352862noreply@blogger.com
