It Was A Classic-Including The Last Gospel According To St John

I am speaking of Mary's Nativity, celebrated in Latin and MINUS any "Musical" Contributions from the Haugen-Haas Crowd:

Prayers were chanted and sung in Latin, save for the "Kyrie", which is in Greek;

There was a very good Monday Night Mass Crowd in St Margaret's Church, in Middle Village Queens, this past evening;

The Last Gospel, still read in Latin, is the Story of The Incarnation(And The Word Was Made Flesh), as so-ably explained in The Homily by The Redoubtable Reverend Father Joseph F Wilson;

Sometimes, if I go to a Spanish Language Mass, I'll often revert to Latin in some of The Prayers;

Pax Vobiscum!

Off The Baseball Trail And NOT on The Football Trail-It'll Be Mass In Manhattan This Afternoon And Mass In Latin, Tomorrow Evening

In the case of a Reverently-Celebrated, Haugen-Haasless Mass, I'll be headed to St Agnes at 5:15PM, where Gregorian Chant is sung. St Agnes Church at 143 East 43rd Street in Manhattan, has celebrated the Traditional Latin Mass since 1988. Despite it being the Novus Ordo Format, people tend to receive The Most-Blessed Sacrament of The Altar, at The Altar Rail and Gregorian Chant is sung at Communion Time;

Tomorrow, in the Brooklyn Diocese, with the Redoubtable Reverend Father Joseph F. Wilson as Alter-Christus, the Traditional Latin Mass will be offered, on the Feast Of Mary's Nativity. The Mass will begin at 7:00PM-ET, at St Margaret's Church, in Middle Village, in Queens

The Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass is just that-A Sacrifice. Singing "Michael, Row The Boat Ashore", is more like a Camp and Campy Sing Along;

I think that you all know how I feel about Catholic Liturgy. Done reverently, it's a mystical experience, which is WHY I feel empty when I assist at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days Of Obligation. Much of the Music is only directed at SELF, instead of God;

Pax Vobiscum!

Next Monday Is The Feast Of Mary's Nativity And There Will Be a Traditional Latin Mass At St Margaret's In Middle Village At 7:00PM

You have heard the Good News:

Pax Vobiscum;

The Traditional Latin Mass of All Time will be offered at St Margaret's Church in Middle Village, Queens on Monday, September 8th, 2008, at 7:00PM. There will be a Schola to sing Hymns and Prayers;

Vox Populi-Vox Dei;

Vox Haugen-Haas Music will NOT be sung nor heard;

Here, We and The Priest, are facing East towards Jerusalem and to God, for the Priest is The Alter-Christus, offering a Sacrifice, as it is a Bloodless Sacrifice, called the Holy Sacrifice Of The Mass;

Because Of The Motu Proprio of July 7th, 2007, effective September 14th, 2007, The Traditional Latin Mass may be offered, if People and Priest so desire;

To the best of my knowledge, outside of places designated by the Brooklyn Diocese as Traditional Latin Mass Sites, this is the 1st time in many years that a Traditional Latin Mass will be offered in a Regular Parish Church;

This being the Traditional Latin Mass, it does attract many people of all ages, a lot of it being a Younger Crowd, who look for something true and not contrived;

Pax Vobiscum;

Directions to St Margaret's Church-Take Q29 or Q45 M T A Bus to Juniper Valley Rd and 80th Street. You'll be right there. Or take M T A Q54 Bus to Metropolitan Avenue and 80th Street, and then walk northbound on 80th Street, where one can reach the Church Entrance;

Pax Vobiscum;

In Nomini Patris, Et Filli, Et Spiritu Sancti, Amen!
