We attended our old Traditional Parish on Sunday. It was a most pleasant experience. Just about everyone asked where we have been and told us they missed us. The couple of families we have had problems with were not there for some reason or other and that helped with anxiety levels. I was afraid of going and being whispered about my immodest dress or my black lace mantilla.
\nI so missed the TLM. It has become comfort food for me and this diocese left so much to be desired regarding the NO Masses. We have not found a good NO parish yet. Not one without really bad folk music, or silly affectations. One Mass we went to spent 45 minutes inducting a nun in a white alb as the Parish Life Director. Another one had us sing and do hand motions during the Prayer of the Faithful. “Our hands, our hearts, our incense rising, we ask you Lord hear our prayer”-with hand motions! We had to put our hands in the air and wiggle our fingers at the incense part. So coming back to people kneeling and Gregorian Chants felt so much like home.
\nI wish I did not have to travel an hour for a TLM to be in a Church that felt truly Catholic, but feel blessed at least to have this Church here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
