"Nothing could better obstruct the confrontation of man with God than the notion that we "go unto the altar of God" as we would go to a pleasant, relaxing social gathering. This is why the Latin mass with Gregorian chant, which raises us up to a sacred atmosphere, is vastly superior to a vernacular mass with popular songs, which leaves us in a profane, merely natural atmosphere." - Dietrich von Hildebrand.
St Andrews at Ravelston with Fr John Emerson as Deacon?
ReplyDeleteCorrect. With Bishop Rifan as celebrant and I as thurifer :)
ReplyDeleteAhh excellent! Always good to know there's more young folk attached to the TLM in Scotland!
DeleteI go to Fr Emerson's monthly Mass over in the town of St Andrews. I hope he gets a parish soon!
