Not quite the New Year for me yet, but just want to take this moment to wish you all a Merry Christmas, a joy-filled Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mother of God, a Happy New Year, and many blessings for you in 2024!

@alexandrite105 Another simple reason that being very late for Sunday Mass is not necessarily a sin: you might be able to catch the next Mass and fulfill your Sunday obligation! In which case, no sin has been incurred, and the Church does not forbid reception of communion at first Mass.

[Fr. Matthew Spencer, OSJ @FrMatthewOSJ]

@alexandrite105 ...thus receiving communion can be possible, even at the last minute, though certainly not ideal as I mentioned on air.

[Fr. Matthew Spencer, OSJ @FrMatthewOSJ]

@alexandrite105 We were not talking about Sunday obligation, we were talking about the requirements for receiving communion at Mass...you can go back and listen to the conversation at https://t.co/gh9ORaxYLT

I've been in Rome for the month of August for work, and I am privileged to have a private audience tomorrow with Pope Francis. 🙏

Celebrating Mass at the tomb of Mother Teresa in Kolkata on Tuesday morning... I'd be happy to remember your intentions there. Reply or DM 🙏

I'm curious: I wonder what the median # of confessions for a Catholic in the US is... 1 time? 2 times?

If you are a Catholic dismayed by the goings on in Rome--take heart. Focus on what is local. Build up the faith in your home, your parish, your school, your own heart. Do not concern yourself over much about things beyond your reach.

[Fr. Matthew Spencer, OSJ @FrMatthewOSJ]

Merry Christmas!

Puer natus est nobis, et filius datus est nobis.

Remember in the conversation about fellowship at church, many folks are introverts and not only don't care whether there is fellowship or not, but instinctively avoid it when it does occur. Respect their space.

Join us on Wednesday as @FrMatthewOSJ guests hosts again!

@servantofBene This is one of our back end tools for Square Note, as we try to compile audio recordings of chant.

Matches about 95% of the notes correctly, and the ones it can't confidently align to a sample, it interpolates their position relative to its neighbors.

[Fr. Matthew Spencer, OSJ @FrMatthewOSJ]

This is what my brother and I have been working on for many months: take an audio recording of a chant, analyze it's pitch changes and correlate it to the notes/neumes of the chant score, for animation and playback. 99% automated now, using hidden markov models and other tricks..
