Confessions and Rosary at 4:15. Mass at 5:15. <br /><br />"Seminarians from St. John's in Boston will be assisting at Mass. The renowned Choir of St. Paul's, featuring boys from the parish's choir school accompanied by adult male singers, will be singing their first Extraordinary Form Mass, complete with sacred polyphony. <br /><br />"Following Mass at 7:15pm, Fr. Z, who writes wdtprs.com, the most popular Catholic blog on the web, will deliver a lecture, sure to please, in DiGiovanni Hall. Latin-English Missals will be provided. All clergy and seminarians are welcome to attend in choir. This event is co-sponsored by the Harvard Catholic Center, Una Voce Boston College, and Juventutem Boston.<br /><br />I cannot imagine a better way to return to the Faith.<br /><br />MMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-82520380480098262142013-04-22T21:25:11.001-04:002013-04-22T21:25:11.001-04:00This is beautifully expressed.

Then, they have to get over themselves and lead the soul to the tools that unite them to Sacramental Grace - and get out of the way.<br /><br />So few are willing.TTChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08738875888053745269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015949969530867456.post-85148587291899443322013-04-20T18:53:16.312-04:002013-04-20T18:53:16.312-04:00In our era we have a significant population of sou...In our era we have a significant population of souls depriving themselves of the Sacrament of Penance and the Holy Eucharist due to the violation of their bodies and souls by the ministers of those sacraments. Some have deliberately and forever cut themselves off from the sacraments in anger. Some are walking around dead or wounded and can't give it much thought. Still others long to return to the Sacraments that, in their heart. they know will heal. But, they can't bring themselves to do it because of the horrific way in which they were violated. They have been so broken and weakened and, instead of drugs and psychiatrists, they need a hand up by Catholics--clergy or laypeople--whom they can trust. When will the Church reach out to these people individually, personally with an invitation to begin to heal through the sacraments instead of with money, drugs and psychiatrists? And I mean individually. I mean with the thought that here is a soul in need of salvation through Christ's Church. These people do not function too well in groups. What are we afraid of? More lawsuits? More failures due to poor catechesis about what this Church is really about? What have we got to lose? The answer is souls.nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156481505455393432noreply@blogger.com
