How should this Sunday [4th Sunday of Easter] be celebrated, in graduated participation? Here's a "Missalette" for this Sunday, based off my Order of Mass [TEMPLATE].
Even if your parish isn't singing these chants, I nevertheless took the liberty to provide English translations for them, and even went so far as to include the designated psalm-verses for the Introit and the Communion chant, so you can meditate on Scripture instead of whatever horrible boomer-hymn your parish is singing. That's what I do when we're not chanting the propers from the Graduale Romanum, like the GIRM says we should be doing!
Note, however, that the Responsorial Psalm and Alleluia vel Cantus is preferably taken from the Lectionary. But if no good and BEAUTIFUL inculturated music is available, the music provided for by the GR [aka Gregorian Chant] is the next best option. These chants should NEVER be merely recited, and the Alleuia chant before the Gospel CANNOT be omitted, because a 2nd Reading precedes it.
I want to do this for more Masses, so stay tuned! I'll probably do a weekday in Easter next, before Pentecost, so you can see the diverse, yet solemn rubrics the GIRM of the NOM aChShUaLlY prefers!
Alright. Enough of this—I’m seeing way too many Christian friends from my old “church” committing adultery in public. Time to call you out, not by name, but by the mere Word of the living God. And, evidently, your pastors are too chicken shit to correct you (huge ecclesial L, by the way—is $$$ more valuable than your sheep’s souls, pastors?). So here we go.
Jesus taught, explicitly, “whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery” (Matthew 5:32) [obviously, this applies to both sexes]. It’s been a while since I’ve scrolled through Facebook, or interacted with a lot of you since becoming Catholic, but I’ve noticed a lot of divorce and “getting back out there.”
This is a direct contradiction of the Scriptures, for our Lord immediately goes on to hold us all accountable to the words we swear by (which you did in your marriage vows): “Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No’; anything more than this comes from the evil one” (Matthew ...
My latest podcast episode/video is currently uploading! It'll be here when it's ready:
I've attached the relevant information regarding the foundational aspects and what you can start implementing in your devotional life IMMEDIATELY for the partial remission of the temporal punishment due to your sins... and, you know, see Jesus that much sooner!
Hello my fellow sheepies! The next instalment of The Indulgent Life is coming soon! I said late last month that I'd be posting a podcast episode/video introducing this concept and going through the Liturgy of the Home (post below). Today, I will be filming that episode and posting it either today or Monday!
And I'm adding to it: I'll be talking about Prayers Throughout the Day as well. It's a daily prayer schedule that utilizes the official acts of prayer with partial indulgences attached! The PDF will be posted today, and only for my supporters, but I'll be going through it in detail on my podcast episode/video, available for all.
Finally, there will an update for the Liturgy of the Home, available for all members :)
