Dear Una Voce SB Readers:
This issue which Father brings up in the linked sermon below has been brewing in my mind and heart for some time now. There are times where I have been able to catch myself in this error. Unfortunately, there are times when I was not able to catch myself in the error, and ideas were shared, which neither gave glory to God, nor benefited the Latin Mass Apostolate, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. We must all learn to be able to keep our public opinions objective, and firmly focused only on our goal, the restoration of the Mass of All Ages, to its rightful place in the liturgical life of the Church. We should not get side-tracked or distracted with things peripheral to this cause, and detrimental to the visible unity of the Church of Christ.
Something which has been found wanting in too many traditionalist circles is the old principle: prima caritas –charity first. If we want our mission to be accomplished, we must be prudent, discerning, and charitable. The other day on the feast of the Nativity of Our Lady, I went on a short walking pilgrimage from Holy Name of Jesus Parish (Redlands) to El Carmelo Retreat House, during which, I listened to this sermon below. It changed my perspective on many things. This post, is the first fruit of what I learned from this powerful sermon from a well-respected traditionalist priest.
Pax Christi in regno Christi.
