Starting this coming Sunday, the Feast of the Assumption, we are going to be able to offer Mass in the Traditional form of the Roman Rite at 11.30am each Sunday. It will just be Low Mass and we will see how it goes.
Dear Father, your use of the impoverished adverb reminds me of the time an Irishman at a Roscommon bar narrowed his eyes when I ordered an "ordinary" Guinness as opposed to the new fangled extra cold draught option.
"As long as you live, my friend, there'll be nothing ordinary about a pint of Guinness!"
"Just" Low Mass, Father?
Seriously - every good wish for the success of this initiative (and such a blessed occasion for it to start). Be assured of prayers.
"Cantate Domino canticum novum: quia mirabilia fecit."
P.S. That altar server up there needs to get a firmer grip of those bells!
Full, conscious and actual participation does not mean people clamouring to take part in the performance of the rites, rather, they are fully to participate in the Paschal Mystery they signify.
