WE INTERUPT THIS BLOG TO BRING YOU A SPECIAL VIDEO

KAZ from New York sent this. It couldn't wait for Sunday. I hope you enjoy it.





Granted, this smacks of gloating, something of which I disapprove. But I still find it funny.


At the other end of the spectrum a brother priest, who is no fan of the Missal of John XXIII, mentioned yesterday his disappointment with some of our fellow brethren who speak sneeringly about "those people", the priests and laity alike who have some connection with this Missal. People who would never dream of offending our separated brethren of the Protestant denominations look upon our fellow Catholics with the utmost disdain. Is it any wonder then that there is gloating? Is it in turn any wonder that there is in return some amount of disdain? And in return . . .

Don't be part of the cycle. On this feast of Saint Benedict let us take to heart the Offertory prayer which says in part, "By following his example in seeking You, may we know unity and peace in your service."

Fr. V - do you ever get to enjoy Mass without saying Mass?

That video was AMAZING. I was rolling on the ground laughing. Everyone in my office got into it.

Brother Declan said...

Father V - will you be celebrating a Traditional Mass soon? I would love to attend!

The Crescat said...

Fr. V said...

Well,

Okay.

Just don't over do it like a profootball player making a touchdown.
