Self Communion

It is surprising that so-called great orators and defenders of the Faith are against this practice, but when it came to the Host passing at the Manila Cathedral and Luneta Masses of the Holy Father, they all pooh-poohed their usual criticisms after the CBCP president prematurely justified the self-Communion.

What gives?

I am pretty sure that they cannot cite any Church law justifying such a Communion, nor can the CBCP president find any Church legislation to defend it.


End this practice!

Host passing is NOT permitted!

Communion in the hand presents more risks of the Blessed Eucharist being desecrated!!!

Practice what you preach!

Christ is present in the Blessed Eucharist!!!  Defend him!!!

Prove what you say!!!

Clapping, dancing, laughing at Mass

If you still believe that the Mass is the same Sacrifice of Calvary, you will think twice about the cheap antics you will participate at.

Stop Clapping!!!

Stop Dancing!!!

What does St. Josemaria Escriva say about the Mass

A wonderful way to prepare for Sunday Mass tomorrow. Listen, and reflect.

Misunderstood Saint

Most Catholics, and most non-Catholics, misunderstand our saint for the day.  They often times equate him with discipline and sternness.

Far from these limiting adjctives, Saint Josemaria Escriva is more than just that.

Like all other saints, he calls us all to holiness.

And with holiness comes discipline:

You say the Mass is long, he says, because your love is short.

Strong words for some who rush to the parking lot before the final blessing just so they do not get stuck in the mad rush after Mass.

Strong words for those who say the Tridentine Mass is long and boring. This Mass, by the way, has always been the Mass St. Escriva prayed.

Holiness has a price. And it is cheaper than the a one-way ticket to hell.

How important is the Mass to you?

Sabi ni Padre Pio, mas makaka-survive daw ang mundo ng walang araw kaysa walang Misa.

Ikaw, gano kahalaga sa iyo ang Misa? Handa ka ba mamatay para makadalo lang sa isang Misa? Handa ka ba makulong, o mabugbog?

O kaya handa ka ba magising ng maaga para dumating bago ang Misa? O kaya naman handa ka bang magbihis ng pormal at maayos para sa pagdalo sa Misa?

This blog has been criticized and ridiculed because it advocates proper and correct Liturgy.

To the readers of this blog, it's not about me or you or us, or him, or them. It's about what our Lord deserves in the Mass.
