This Sunday was a group from the VSA in our parish as a guest. For five days traveling through Europe with the aim of Passion Play in Oberammergau. (Note to this country this post -. Or this )
The priest, pastor of St. Rita, Rockfort, Illinois, dean and Monsignor, a very nice and noble man, family roots in our village. That is why they were here. He wanted
concelebrate in the evening mass and asked whether it was possible to Meßkanon - as the Roman (I) - including praying the Our Father in Latin.
He reported that his bishop very much at heart, that the Latin tradition do not die, and that the faithful who love the old Mass, a legitimate place in each deanery will find it.
The group arrived an hour before the show to the church leadership. Apart from the rather strange to us Europeans welcome shapes ("Hello, I'm John. How are you?"), People were very nice.
I was really touched them, that one was close to being Catholic and immediately agreed. The same faith, the same spirit, the same forms. That was beautiful!
A friend to whom I told this to said that it was the principle of McDonald's: find all over the world are on the same and therefore feel safe and at home. The only difference is the content and its quality ...
