We had huge flood tanks put under the park near us a couple of years ago and it's made a big difference.<BR/><BR/>I agree about the priest facing us during Mass. It means he spends Mass with his back to the tabernacle-which can't be right. And WHY anyway when the NO Mass does not ask for it?<BR/><BR/>I do think it is right that we pray with body and soul-not just inwardly. The NO is good for that, but I assume there was kneeling, standing, breast striking, bowing etc as part of the Old Mass too. (I've never been to one so please forgive my ignornance)<BR/><BR/>I hope the MP comes soon despite the Cardinal's letter asking not to have it (*sigh*)-but what I would REALLY like is the end of all the abuses in the NO.<BR/><BR/>God blessWhiteStoneNameSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13817511811745085749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37512247.post-50730377457235088372007-06-25T22:24:00.000+01:002007-06-25T22:24:00.000+01:00Judging the past in the light of the present is ab...Judging the past in the light of the present is about as unCatholic as it gets, but it's the inevitiable consequence of rupture. Coincidentally I was thinking about the NLM post tonight, while leading family prayers. Versus populo is a weird, weird thing to do. Why did anyone think of doing it in the first place? My children's bedroom has a shelf on the wall opposite their beds, on which reposes Our Lady of Grace, a Byzantine diptych and lots of little holy pictures and cheap statues of the kind beloved of little girls. Above it is a very decent Christus Rex crucifix. Naturally we all kneel facing the crucifix. Why on earth would I turn around and face the children? Why on earth would they expect me to? It's completely senseless.<BR/><BR/>Apart from that, I wanted to post what I always post at NLM in these discussions, but I'm afraid of irritating Shawn at this point.<BR/><BR/>IT'S THE <B>TEXTS</B>, STUPID!Anagnostishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706938507885553293noreply@blogger.com
