The author preparing to offer private Mass during the snow and ice storm of January 25, 2026.
The priest when he is alone, with angels and saints surrounding and united with him, to pray the Mass will naturally choose that worship which he holds most dear in this age commonly described as one of options, if nothing else. And the option of the Tradition, as Pope Benedict made so clear in Summorum Pontificum, remains as sacred today for all of us it was for the Catholics of the two millennia that preceded our moment. The cohort of new vocations is nothing if not united around a love of venerable Catholic Tradition.
Make an act of spiritual Communion with the many holy sacrifices of the rito antico offered today. The storm also brought many private TLM Masses to areas in our country especially beleaguered by modernists and heretics who vainly seek to stamp out forever the liturgy, together with the faith and the reverence, which it fuels supernaturally.
Pray for the many Catholics who are tragically being persecuted for their faith by their own bishops. Oh, and while you're at it, pray for another big storm that will bring us closer to the day when every congregation will once again be united around their priest as he goes up the altar of God, the God who restores "the joy of our youth" through our sacred liturgical birthright, "ever ancient and ever new".
Ite Missa est. Oremus pro invicem.

In the face of the “modernist” Church’s errors and Her lurch away from its historical values, I dare say:
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen
Ad deum, qui laetificat juventutem meam
Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes.
