For the love of God.
There is a TLM in Fairbanks, AK next to the Cathedral. I'll be attending that as often as possible once my unit finally redeploys. Not because I disdain the Novus Ordo so much (there are a few issues - understatement), but because the TLM is that much more powerful and prayerful.
O Jesus,
O Light,
O Hope of mankind,
God with us,
Who came as the poor child
of poor parents,
King of the universe
embracing his people,
You who come so often
in the guise of the irritating,
the unpleasant,
the lowly,
the needy,
the ugly,
the hurt,
Come to me today,
as surely as you came that nativity night
and fill my heart
with the light of your love
that I may see with your eyes,
love with your heart,
touch with your touch,
until,
when you come again in glory,
King of the universe,
Righter of wrongs,
Merciful judge,
Lord or Lords,
you might look into my heart
and say
"Yes, I know you.
Come to the wedding feast."
Good post! I also like how you got those two crosses in the title of the post -- hadn't seen that before at Free Republic. :-)
| Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen |
