How can one better express his love for the Eucharist but through charity and mortification?. The beauty of the chants born through hours of getting that note just right, or the Latin pronuciation right on. The meticulous determination to detail and dress, so that Christ will be pleased and present with us. The special form of ritual presentations all carefully executed to ensure a humble entry to God's altar. As we enter we hear the touching pleas of group Rosary, the prayers in hope they can obtain intercession for their undeserving lot. <br /><br />The homilies are unambiguous and can be placed in the appropriate context. It is not politically correct. If the priest's flock is prone to error, he will ensure his congregation knows the proper path. <br /><br />The congregation itself speaks volumes. Happy faces everywhere, and 4 year olds setting examples of piety to all of us. This is just a few reasons God favors his familiar traditional rituals.<br /><br />Lastly, one comes away with something wonderful, the Holy Spirit touches the hearts of these<br />loyal and determined Catholics, and his one desire is to return again and again.<br /> <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683422476127920287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-85286985915507408122007-08-05T23:27:00.000-04:002007-08-05T23:27:00.000-04:00Certainly in sections A-D and even somewhat in E, ...Certainly in sections A-D and even somewhat in E, things could be greatly improved even in the Novus Ordo. But in the last section, dealing with the merit of the ritual itself, Fr. Ripperger deals with the actual prayers and rubrics of the ritual. And it is here that he maintains compellingly that the Traditional Latin Mass is an objectively superior ritual to the New.
