The last time I sung them there was one about discrimination on the grounds of gender. However, since the service was entirely in Latin, this was translated as 'genus' rather than 'sexus', and the former (although it can mean gender in the grammatical sense) has a number of meanings. One of these is 'noble birth', and since it is odious that anyone should suffer discrimination on account of this, I could sing 'Te rogamus, audi nos' with a clear conscience.<br /><br />The Oratorians stick to the older form of Vespers, as does the Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge, founded by the late Mary Berry. This does not have these tiresome accretions.John Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027156691859606002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-11578853850254175112017-08-20T17:19:45.228-04:002017-08-20T17:19:45.228-04:00Seems to be similar to our Litany of Peace in the ...Seems to be similar to our Litany of Peace in the Divine LiturgyПравославный физикhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313371333531421128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-89482386005930945522017-08-18T16:16:54.998-04:002017-08-18T16:16:54.998-04:00I don't suppose the Southern Poverty Law Cente...I don't suppose the Southern Poverty Law Center supports abortion on demand and gay marriage?

The way we pray is the way we believe. We continue to cry as the Jews did in Babylonian captivity over the loss of Zion until the Almighty rescues us or we go to our just rewards. <br /><br />Anon-1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-68846334493980692872017-08-18T07:32:56.328-04:002017-08-18T07:32:56.328-04:00a priest said,

However, if you look in an editio typica of the current liturgy of the hours in Latin, you will find some that are quite well written. I have used these and had them on a varied schedule. If we fail to take liturgy seriously or let it meander into vagueness and drivel, the people will see Catholicism that way. People should be brought into an encounter with God, not mindless pop culture seeking warm fuzzy experiences.A priestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-6759799213883889152017-08-17T20:13:54.112-04:002017-08-17T20:13:54.112-04:00the Southern Poverty Law Center website lists AFA ...<br />the Southern Poverty Law Center website lists AFA (the American Family Association)as a "hate group."

At one daily Mass, one of the "readers" asked for prayers for her sister who had just been in a car accident. And, last Sunday, the priest just winged it. One of the things he rambled on about was "praying for those who never grew up"... newguy40https://www.blogger.com/profile/07691117339629857830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-37020699959661230162017-08-17T16:49:32.278-04:002017-08-17T16:49:32.278-04:00There is a game adolecents play with fortune cooki...There is a game adolecents play with fortune cookie fortunes where you say the fortune found in your cookie followed with the phrase "on the toilet". You could have a parish picnic of Chinese takeout and save all the fortunes in a basket. At the point of the General Intercessions someone could reach blindly into the basket, pull one out, state "That , We pray to the Lord". For example "That you will come into a fortune that pays for college, we pray to the Lord". Return the fortune to the basket and shake it up before pulling another. If people begin to memorize the prayers and recite them with the deacon in a sort of monotone sing-song voice you can have another picnic.rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131930849106490711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-14496423273752408282017-08-17T14:48:11.517-04:002017-08-17T14:48:11.517-04:00Bravo, I heartily approve.Bravo, I heartily approve.TJMnoreply@blogger.com
