I have heard through the grapevine that Mount Saint Mary's will host a priestly ordination in LATIN!!! I'm so excited!! This excitement, however, is not shared by my dh, or even by the priest at our parish. *Sigh*. I don't know how many will be ordained, but I do know that one will be Brother Robert, who serves at our parish as well as our "mother" parish in a nearby town.
I'm definitely going, for the historical value if nothing else. I don't have a conscious memory of the Mass in Latin. My dad used to tell a story of taking me to Mass when I was a baby. He sat in the back and realized, too late, that the speaker was right over our heads. The priest, apparently, had a booming voice, and my dad was sure I would cry, but I didn't.
So, having no memory of the Mass in Latin (I actually learned whatever sacred Latin I know from my [secular] college choir), I am looking forward to seeing an ordination in Latin!!

ReplyDeleteI am! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've yet to go to a TLM; there aren't any in my vicinity. This ordination would be great to see!
ReplyDeleteI know! Isn't there a TLM in Baltimore somewhere?
ReplyDeleteThe first ordination I went to was in Latin, I was 6 and still remember it to this day despite having been to ordinations since then. St. Alphonsus in Balto, near the diocesan building has the TLM every Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was St. Alphonsus, thanks! Wow, you've been to an ordination in Latin!? That's great! I can't wait for this one.
