The Novus Ordo Fails to Guard and Contain
On reading the chapter entitled Liturgical Reform, in Iota Unum, by Romano Amerio, many thoughts and feelings are with me. How to put into words that which I am experiencing? I will begin with something that happened the other night.
I attended a Novus Ordo Mass. I found the liturgy particularly disorganised and chaotic. On receiving communion, [...]
Book Review: Iota Unum by Romano Amerio
Caution: unlike other reviews here, this is not so much a review yet, but a review-in-progress. What in internet-ese I believe is called a “stub”: Something to be expanded later.
For now, I simply want to draw attention to this extraordinary book. With the breathtaking intelligence of a profound Thomistic mind, the author has created a [...]

After the consecration and elevation of the Host, I bowed my head in reverence and prayer and then when the server rang the following bell, I lifted my head.
I saw the robe of the priest held up, slightly curved behind the priest. The chalice was [...]

Recently I received a piece of private mail from a priest that HIT me so powerfully, that I have asked him if I can quote him at this weblog.
I am very happy to say the good Father has agreed, although he has asked that I quote him with anonymity. I will just need to say [...]

His point was that people who availed themselves less often of this Sacrament, availed themselves less of the “Sanctifying Grace” [...]
Towards God
I will never forget my first Latin Mass. It was incredible.
With the priest facing the tabernacle, his back turned to us, it was as though he was leading us to our Lord.
The beautiful robe the priest wore seemed to cover us all, being an instrument in this sacred journey. Each and every prayer and word spoken [...]
