PSA for lovers of the #LatinMass: the 1950s are gone & never coming back.
PSA for lovers of Mass in English: the 1970s are over & never coming back.
Now, can we please stop using the Sacred #Liturgy as a battering ram to beat fellow Catholics into submission?

Let the words of the Mass be noble, reverent & inspiring--in whatever language.
Let the priest officiate with both awe & joy.
Let the people participate with full voice & attention.
Let each #Eucharist fill us with resolve to make the world a holier place by being holy.

Day 2 #OfGodAndMe
I ended yesterday with by questioning whether there was more to the #Eucharist than my C of E Confirmation Preparation had indicated. As my teenage years progressed the question began to be answered by a series of events. I still see God's hand in them.

One of my closest friends at grammar school was a practising Catholic. We were drawn together by a common love of music and by the fact that we were among the very few in our year who practised any faith. We both played the organ in Church from time to time.

One day my friend invited me to try the organ at his Catholic Church. As we entered the Church he genuflected. It was the first time I had seen anyone do this. I asked him what he was doing. He pointed out the tabernacle and shared his faith in the #Eucharist.

Day 1 #OfGodandMe
I was brought up as an Anglican. My mother worshipped regularly in the local Parish Church. Initially I went to Sunday School. My only memory of this is the song which was taken during the collection every week which started "Hear the pennies dropping"

When I was almost 8 I joined the Parish Church Choir. The main services were Morning & Evening Prayer. I can date my lifelong love of the #Psalms from this time. I didn't understand every word of the 16th century English, but the imagery and passion inspired me even then.

My love of music grew at this time. I played both recorder and piano. Music has enriched every part of my life especially my faith life. I have been exposed to many sorts of music. I don't like them all equally, but all have enriched me in different ways.

BEHOLD THE BREAD OF ANGELS (ECCE PANIS ANGELORUM)
Behold the Bread of Angels, made the food of wayfarers, truly the bread of children, not to be given to the dogs.
Presignified by figure, when Isaac was immolated, the Paschal Lamb was commanded, manna was given to the fathers.

Girolamo Zanchi quotes:
"It is not false that Christ died for all men: for the passion of Christ is offered to all in the Gospel. But he died effectually for the elect alone, because indeed they only are made partakers of the efficacy of the passion of Christ."
