(Wish we could catch EWTN on TV here.)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sure sounds like the devil was actively trying to draw 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 start up a commotion. <BR/><BR/>And what became of your sink clog?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-69188760863981709012007-09-14T19:46:00.000-04:002007-09-14T19:46:00.000-04:00Oh, I can't wait!

I plan on watching the encore presentation tonight. <BR/><BR/>Vara, your comparison to a kiddie pool is hilarious.<BR/><BR/>There are some places where the Novus Ordo is celebrated beautifully - unfortunately those are rare. Most are like dry toast at best or full of abuses at the worst.<BR/><BR/>I have 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 bare bones, no frills and the other luxuriously attends to all of the senses as you ride.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-54604601125160922472007-09-14T17:57:00.000-04:002007-09-14T17:57:00.000-04:00Maria-Elena, I believe that you can immerse yourse...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 book 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 present and amongst us.<BR/><BR/>Liturgy is not something written in a book, it is something we live with our entire being. We smell it (in the incense), we touch it (in the vestments and holy water (in your case)), we taste it (in the Eucharist), we see it (in the vestments and iconography), and we hear it (in the sacred language of the liturgy itself and in the Gospels). <BR/><BR/>This is why the Church of Rome needs to return to its traditional form of worship. It allows for a total immersion, wheras the Novus Ordo is only wading in a kiddy pool. At least,<BR/>it is how it appears to this outsider. <BR/><BR/>May your Pope Benedict have the courage to reinstate such worship in all its glory everywhere. You deserve nothing lesser. It would also make relations between Catholic and Orthodox better, I believe. Is there something WRONG in loving and preserving your traditions? Assuredly not! <BR/><BR/>Pray for this sinner.<BR/><BR/>VaraVarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17433700879385973493noreply@blogger.com
