CHRISTMASCAzT 2018 30: Active participation in the TLM and Novus Ordo




Fr. Z's Blog show

Summary: Once again this year I offer short daily podcasts to help you prepare for the upcoming feast as well as for your own, personal, meeting with the Lord. Here is CHRISTMASCAzT 30, 7th day in the Octave of Christmas. These 5 minute offerings are a token of gratitude especially for my benefactors.  Thank you! Today we have Peter Kwasniewski on an important difference between active/actual participation of the faithful in the Novus Ordo and in the Traditional Latin Mass.  I read from Noble Beauty, Transcendent Holiness: Why the Modern Age Needs the Mass of Ages (US HERE – UK HERE)   This book has a forward by the great Martin Mosebach, author of The Heresy of Formlessness (a must read, a hard read but richly rewarding). I keep harping on the theme that: WE ARE OUR RITES.  Hence, what is offered today is important for our identity as Catholics. Also, because traditionally we sing the Te Deum on this last day of the calendar year, the year of salvation 2018, and we can gain a plenary indulgence for it’s public recitation, I offer a taste of a magnificent version from the Les Grandes heures liturgiques à Notre-Dame de Paris.  US HERE – UK HERE Have some Mystic Monk Coffee and have a listen! Chime in if you listened. PS: These podcasts should also be available through my iTunes feed, though maybe not immediately. Let me know how you are listening.  Through the plug in on this post? Through iTunes? Downloading?
