Yeah, if you can find one celebrated by a priest who knows what he’s doing.
The problem with attending a Mass for the ceremony is that you miss out on its true meaning. The Confitior is an acknowlegement of sin and a plea for forgiveness. The Credo is a profession of Faith. The Consecration is the Mystery of Transubstantiation. The Pater Noster is the perfect prayer. Finally, we have the prayers for the covrsion of Russia and the protection of St. Micheal.
How can that Mass be said in the same venue as the Novus Ordo, with all of its mistranslations and irreverance?
The three rules of effective homilies:
1.) The opening paragraph should be designed to pique the worshipers’ interest in the homily.
2.) The closing paragraph should be designed to impress the main points of the homily in the worshipers’ minds.
3.) #1 and #2 should be as close together as possible.
LOL. agreed 100% in 99% of the cases.
**Why do they keep changing It?!? **
They really are NOT changing it.
This is the direct translation of “Et cun spiritu tuo.”
We are just getting the correct translation now!
(Good-bye lefty committees that gave us all the liberal translation nonsense!)
Keep talking with your priest, with your bishop, with your pastoral council. Our guitar music will be gone in about ten years.
We are getting our organ music back part time now. The guitar mafia will disappear!
Other than for ethnic Masses, that is.
We used canned mackerel to bait the humane traps when our cat went missing.
You can smell the stuff for about a half mile.
Don’t know that I’d want to fry it up with onions though.
We got him back (along with a collection of possums and raccons).
Good luck getting rid of them.
I hesitate to reply to this, but 15 MINUTES?????????? Any more than seven and you lose the congregation. 7-10 is normal. Most priests can say what needs to be said in that amount of time. Some of the more outstanding sermons I've heard have been more like 2-3 minutes. Spare, to the point with a challenge. It helps us remember. Personally, I think they could extend the silence after the Communion Procession a little longer in exchange.
Celery, minced onion, parsley and sweet pickle relish on rye. Too bad I can’t do mayo any more. :( So, it’s albacore with olive oil, vinegar, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper for me. Yum.
And David Haas and Dan Schute and David Proulx and John Rutter and Christopher Walker and....
You know, with Sunday being Pentecost, maybe we could have a big bonfire.
Sounds delicious. I love rye bread.
Gotta be sole...heart and sole....maybe a flounder would pass muster.
I’ll eat flounder. With lots of tartar sauce. Or ketchup.
Same here but with lemon and dill.
Try the albacore with mustard and dill when you get bored.
You probably like flounder and thus want to put things on it to enhance its flavor.
I, on the other hand, really don't like seafood, flounder included. Thus, my intention is to drown out the flavor.
