O’Brien also touched on the false dichotomy some claim exists between engaging in a more “pastoral” approach instead of upholding the Gospel in an alleged rigid or pharisaical manner.

“To those who have been wounded…how do we reach them?” he asked. “We cannot reach them by anything other than caritas in veritate.” Christ said “truth will set your free” not “pastoral sentiment.”

I have read the two books, Elijah and Father Elijah: An Apocalypse.

Very good.

Some of O’Brien’s books end with a cliff-hanger, however, and no real ending.

I was watching an Irish lady on EWTN this morning and she said something about the Our Father that struck me in a very different way.

She said that Jesus meant that when we pray we should enter our interior and pray without distraction.

And then I realized why I don’t like the Novus Ordo mass on weekends. It’s all about distraction and how wonderful we call are. A person can’t focus interiorly like you can at a Latin mass. During the week at daily mass there is no such problem.

I know that the mass is the mass but prayer should remain between you and God.
