We are only truly strong when we are strong for others.

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

they have been warned. they have been sternly advised. they rammed forward anyway. they better have enough character and integrity to follow through in case, God forbid, they mess up. 😒

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

There are persons you miss softly but powerfully. Those whose absence or distance may not always occupy your mind and lament but, when remembered, moves your heart to shed a hidden tear that is always sadder than had it actually welled up in your eyes.

LibCaths & RadTrads both spew equal & opposite heresies

LibCaths deny the hermeneutic of continuity & poorly interpret modern teaching to ignore eternal teachings

RadTrads obscure the present authority of the Church to mental gymnastics their way out of recent magisterium

[Dr Taylor Marshall™️ @TaylorRMarshall]

Please stop attacking the Traditional Latin Mass as if it is a carcinogen in the Body of Christ.

Are there mean holier-than-thou jerks at the Traditional Latin Mass parishes?

Yes!!! There are some there.

Did the Traditional Latin Mass cause them to become mean holier-than-thou jerks?

No. Never. Not a single case.

There are many causes, but the 1962 Latin Mass did not cause people to become jerks.

I'd also argue that the mean holier-than-thou jerks at the Novus Ordo didn't become that way by attending the Novus Ordo Mass.

People are nasty from unhealed wounds. It derives from sinful patterns of reacting. A liturgy didn't accomplish that inside them.

And maybe, just maybe, the TLM is the long-term medicine to heal some of these people over time. Banning it or dangling it on a string just makes things worse for them.

Let us show mercy and also affirm that the 1962 liturgies do not cause interior malformation as carcinogens.

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

One obstacle to vocation discernment is mediocrity in liturgy. How can the young be helped in hearing God Who speaks gently in their heart when what is supposed to be our most profound act of prayer and vision of hope and eternal joy is offered dryly and in a perfunctory manner?

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

Those with an inflexble disdain for the use of Latin in Roman Catholic liturgy have an incomplete, if not erroneous, appreciation of Catholic identity found in her theology, spirituality, and religiosity (pastoral theology, history of liturgy, and ecclesiology to mention a few).

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

If we want to inspire service among altar servers, let them work for the solemnity and beauty of God's liturgy--and not for the preference or whim of the celebrant. Altar servers, like the priest, serve God when performing their duties; priests especially must be mindful of this.

[Cardinal R. Sarah @Card_R_Sarah]

« I am an African. Let me say clearly : the liturgy is not the place to promote my culture. Rather, it is the place where my culture is baptised, where my culture is taken up into the Divine. » The power of silence, against the dictatorship of noise.

Tonight, I finally found someone whom I have been seeking out for the longest time--only to discover she had passed on ten years ago. I am a mess of thoughts and feelings, perhaps like suddenly realizing that a book I had been painstakingly reading is missing its final chapters.

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

To those who say we should not "impose" Church truth on others, then this:
The Truth we have from God is not meant simply for ourselves. We are not tribal but universal; we are missionary, called to share the Truth to all and to transform the world according to that same Truth!

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

In today’s passage Jesus commissions his disciples to “go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.”

An evangelizing Catholicism shouts from the rooftops, grabs people by the lapels, and speaks with urgency and energy about Jesus.

Can't sleep. Suddenly missing the company of different friends.

Are you even Catholic if you didn’t lose the potential love of your life to the seminary?

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

Simply, we need renewal in hierarchy--not a furtive nod to mob rule, popular democracy, or some imaginary communist or anarchic ideal. StFrancis of Assisi, in an age when the Church wielded vast political and economic power, never questioned hierarchy itself. Think about that.

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

There is nothing wrong with a "top-down" Church in itself; after all, is that not simply an echo of the order of creation, with God at the head of all? The issue is not having a hierarchy, but when authority is exercised in self-will and not in God-inspired service.

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

The proper response is not to dilute or denigrate hierarchy, to see it as a problem; rather, we ought to remind all--both laity and clergy, both those within and outside hierarchy--of our universal accountability with the one, true God, the King of kings.

[Jose Mayo OFMCap @joedmayo]

Same feedback I got when I offered the Mass ad orientem recently. A Novus Ordo Mass. It shone.

[Fr. Dwight Longenecker @dlongenecker1]

The members of the congregation at a Mass celebrated ad orientem testify that they feel more part of the action of the altar as they feel the priest is praying with them, not at them.

[Fr. Dwight Longenecker @dlongenecker1]

Administering communion on the tongue at an altar rail:
1. is quicker for the priest
2. gives the communicant a bit more time with the Lord
3. allows for a more reverent posture
4. Helps the people to participate more fully
5. Helps prevent abuse of the sacrament
6. Helps the people connect physically with the great tradition
7. Distinguishes Catholic Eucharist from Protestant services.

Refresh (give rest to) my soul in Christ. [Phmn 20]

Teachers find great joy and refreshing consolation when students freely embody what has been taught. Thus, part of teaching is giving opportunities to manifest learning, without the promise of reward or threat of punishment.
