I just find it interesting that some Christians feel that forgiveness is something one can turn on and off like a light switch. That is not forgiveness; that’s not dealing with the issue at hand. To “move on” without thought of personal responsibility on the part of the other who did the wrong is just thoughtless and reckless. Forgiveness does not mean letting it go without personal responsibility.
I agree to “assume nothing”, but I really pray there isn’t a civil lawsuit. To me, that wouldn’t be in the spirit of forgiveness.
This sounds like the opening line of a bad joke.
Convents aren’t generally places that just anyone goes to visit. What do you do at this convent? What necessitates going there repeatedly?
Did you “do” any readings at this Tridentine mass?
No, I don’t think that there are reading at a tridentine mass. But the priest gave a good homily about the mass itself.
Maybe back in the good ol days they were sort of off limits. But not today. I attend an adoration once a week and a bible study every so often when I am in town. Plus, I help them every once in awhile. Yes, they are places one can go to visit, depending on the convent.
That’s sort of a decent answer, so you get partial credit, but you still manage to demonstrate that you are a bit lost. I do not believe a word you say. I think you’re Googling aspects of Catholic experience and tossing it up here hoping that some of it sticks, and that it will gain you some credibility. May the Lord have mercy on you.
I made a mistake.
If I was born catholic and spent the first eighteen years of my life attending Mass why would I need to google anything? You don’t have to believe me and I have no reason to lie.
Sorry to disappoint but there were no reading by lectors. The priest did pray a great deal facing the altar and gave a nice homily about the mass to the few people present. For most, it was their first experience at such a mass. And in fact, the priest was from England and after the mass he gave a lecture about the English martyrs, John Fischer and Thomas Moore among others.Now we know!!
Giggle. You are just as much a fraud as the BOM.
But you are lying.
Since no one can read Latin except the priest, I think that it would have been quite difficult to give a reading. However the homily was in English. No screw up on my part at all. The Mass was in latin and very traditional.
When I was three or four I would fall asleep all the time in the Mass. The tridentine mass is not for kiddies.Maybe he fell asleep like my 3 month old during those.
why me, the missals have the Latin and the English side-by-side. In addition, if you are the experienced Catholic and mass-attendee that you claim to be, you’d know the order of the mass and there would be no question about there being Gospel readings.
Sorry, the readings are always in the vernacular. Maybe you were at a Spanish mass and got confused.
