The Church and the liturgy appear almost mesmorizing in their beauty.

You don...Oh no! It was a silly comment anyway.<br /><br />You don't need to post this, you can if you would like<br /><br />I have to share though, thank you for your blog here. Reading your writing (esp. the very difficult one on sex abuse) is a real pick-me-up for me. There are a few other folks I read as well. <br /><br />Where was I, oh, I am very happy to tell you that I am definitely going to mass this week and maybe even confession. Thanks for your writing, example and being you. Your blog really helped me through a very nasty crisis of faith. <br /><br />I don't know if I will make it to the extraordinary form of the mass, since the only parish in my neck of the woods that offers it is late in the day and I always have things to do. But what strikes me about the Extraordinary Form is how deeply it resonates with the mystery of Christ. When I attend the Novous Ordo (especially with guitars and the like) I feel closer to Jesus the Man; the EF, gives me more of a sense of mystery.<br /><br />I would never advocate one over the other (I think they both have strengths and weaknesses), but I find that both forms complement one another very nicely.Kevin Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018428110302687291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-6602486822668118922010-03-26T15:32:04.584-04:002010-03-26T15:32:04.584-04:00Kevin-your comment got lost by accident.

I highly suggest you never leave home without it.<br /><br />It really is comforting to see a Cardinal attending such celebrations. Wouldn't happen where I live, but it does give one hope for the future.Qualis Rexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-34312622103156190762010-03-26T12:59:19.372-04:002010-03-26T12:59:19.372-04:00Thanks Ben!

We had one for Laetare Sunday, and I believe we will also be having another for Palm Sunday and Easter. I suspect that we will also have vested Deacon and Subdeacon for Good Friday.<br /><br />How charitible of you to assist as Subdeacon for this mass. It can be really difficult to assemble enough trained ministers to execute a mass of this complexity.<br /><br />There aren't enough trained clergy locally for us to have a priest fufill the role of sub-deacon, so we have 2 laymen who alternate in this role.<br /><br />I'd love to see a picture of you with the humeral veil, do you know if there is one?ben in denvernoreply@blogger.com
