I have discovered that I am, indeed, a liturgical traditionalist. In visiting my Aunt's convent this week, I was surprised to see how "low" the masses where and that post Vatican II, minimalist liturgy is not just an "American Church" phenomenon. I also discovered that, no matter how many of my surrounding companions may disagree with me, I still think the tabernacle should be in the center of the altar!
I also have discovered that those who are "for" the many changes wrought in the church in the past 30 years, are just as passionate about their opinions as I am about mine. We all have our backgrounds that influence our likes and dislikes and our passions. All we can do is to keep searching, trust in God's Mercy and be thankful for His Love.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I would say that in french if I knew how!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back 4HC! We missed you.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, we just have to trust in God's mercy. And even if I have the faith to move mountains, it is still considered as nothing if I am without love.
I hope you had a good visit with you aunt.
"even if I have the faith to move mountains, it is still considered as nothing if I am without love."
ReplyDeleteI think that is one of the most important lessons I learned in this past week.
