Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: loss of the sense of the blessing
I will tell you now about what follows, about the blessing of the priest. People in the church sometimes leave before the blessing; sometimes they do not wait for it at all because they do not desire it. They do not understand what it gives them and why it is provided. You see, Christ, when…
Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: driving out of the faith in the presence of Lord Jesus during Holy Communion
27.06.2013 The sacrifice of Christ is completed. But not ours. For us begins the time of the miracle for which Christ calls us. To experience this miracle, we have to give everything to Christ, our entire life, and in exchange receive His entire life. We can possess His entire life offered to the Father on…
Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: the liturgical reform – to leave God alone
Here is the strength of your reform: to leave Him alone in order to turn towards man, for man and to bow to man. It has never been the Will of Christ that at the time of His death, man would leave Him alone in order to look for approbation and acceptance of men. I…
Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: lack of understanding of the agony of God
The prayer ”Our Father”, which has an enormous strength because it is spoken along with the prayer of Christ on the cross, is sung hastily, without thinking. If everyone focused on at least one request in order to say it from the heart, how great a field of action for Heaven. The moment of death…
Deadness and apathy on today’s Golgotha
At this moment, I have to draw your eyes upon you and show you what Jesus sees from His cross. I am not talking here about the crimes of the world, but about you who are standing under the cross. Jesus is looking for friends. He looks around and wants to find any, even the…
It is not enough to stand under the cross to be saved
All these events are truly happening, even though we can not see them. We only see the signs through which we enter into these sacred mysteries. Jesus on the cross can not be alone. If we come under the cross, we have to co-suffer with Him, we have to be grateful to Him, and we…
Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: lack of understanding of the Golgotha
After the preface, Christ receives His cross. He walks the streets of Jerusalem, but before He embarks on this painful march, the world will hail Him a traitor worthy of death on the cross. The mouths that he desires to feed, the cheeks from which he desires to wipe off tears, all that is changing…
Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: loss of the sense of sacrifice
The offertory is also the time of the self-sacrifice of the faithful. Our own sacrifice should be joined with the sacrifice of Jesus. Offering everything to God and counting on His mercy. Christ said that whoever will give Him his life because of Him, will gain eternal life. A Christian today does not die in…
Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: lack of respect for the liturgical vessels
The liturgical vessels that he touches are sacred. They must be handled with respect because they are the property of God. Like the hands of the priest, they are touching Christ during His Sacrifice. Touching them should not be entrusted to altar boys who are not in a state of sanctifying grace. The altar boy,…
Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: lack of thoughtfulness
The offertory. During the offertory, God accepts the Sacrifice of His Son through the prayer of the priest. Jesus prepares Himself for what He will have to live through. He completely surrenders to the Will of the Father and to the cruelty of man. Now begins a slow and prolonged torment of His Soul and…
Mistakes in the understanding of the Holy Mass and liturgical changes: bringing women to the tabernacle and to church functions
This is why the Word of God should be read in a worthy manner, by worthy persons. The introduction of women to this honor is a mistake and a nod towards the side of man, and not towards the side of God. The Mother of God gave way to the apostles, let alone the holy…
