Calgary: Holy Mass in the Usus Antiquior


Such an honor to pray this holy rite - in any corner of the world - always the same. Yes, semper idem!

  4. It's not a pretty church, but it's all we have, and at least it fits our growing parish. Our priest works his hands off for us, and the bishop, not being a friend of the Latin Mass, does not make it easy for him. Nevertheless, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Latin Mass in calgary this coming Sunday. Deo gratias!
    (Oh, and also? That's my friend's fiance serving. He came back to the Faith because of the TLM, and met his future wife there. Yay!)

  5. Quick question, in the Byzantine rite one stands at a Sunday Liturgy and it is based on what is said at the Nicene Council. Why do you kneel? Also, when we study the earliest history of the Liturgy (Scripture references to this in the Gospels, and in I Corinthians 11), we find that both the cup, and the host were given to the faithful, why is it in the Roman Rite only the host is given? Why Latin? We read in the council of Trent, that there was an open door for the Vernacular, not to mention Vatican Faithful Eastern Rite churches were saying the Divine Liturgy in the Vernacular since their rejoining Rome. Why must we receive on the tongue? We read documentation from the writings of Saint Basil. If someone could answer theses issues I'd be greatly appreciative.

  6. Btw, I find Saint Anthony's a very beautiful perish, and the Perpetual Adoration Chapel's beautiful as well.
