I love the Latin Mass! I originally discovered the TLM 8 years ago, attending out of curiosity. I was never the same, I could never look at the Novus Ordo the same way again. Over time, I found myself visiting the Latin Mass more and more, until I could not deny God’s call to pray this Mass exclusively to protect and foster the faith of my children!
What amazes me is when fellow Catholics reject the TLM so quickly because they don’t know what to do or they feel intimidated by the parishioners. Hey I won’t deny the intimidation factor, but that’s because something heavenly is taking place here on earth.
Do I wish the Church would return to the TLM? I sure do, I know there would be fewer abuses, more vocations, and far fewer Catholics in name only.
I am 34 years old, all of the Catholics I knew growing up have fallen away from the faith. All OF THEM. Now that I have my own children it’s become so important that I recognize all that can be done to firmly establish the Faith in their hearts. I take the responsibility of raising my children up to honor God and the One True Faith to be paramount, there is no way today’s Novus Ordo Mass comes close to the Traditional Latin Mass in regards to safeguarding the Faith.
