Thank you for, care of the St. Andrew Missal and it’s author/editor, Dom. Gaspar Lefebvre, OSB, the reminders of these holy and worthily remembered “Octave Days.”
ReplyDeleteYou are most gracious, Dante Peregrinus, for your kind Comments. Thank You.
DeleteLet us agree. The abolition of so much beautiful Liturgy from our Catholic Faith, by so many so-called Experts, was, and still is, a diabolical (literally) act of vandelism.
This includes, of course, Octave Days, Vigils, Holy Week Liturgy, etc, etc, etc.
When all the above is returned to its proper and Holy Place within Catholic Liturgy, then the repair process, that The Catholic Church radically needs, and which the imposed “Liturgical Abuses” have shredded The Catholic Church over the last fifty years, will begin to take place.
God, in His Wisdom, will not allow His Church “to be affected by The Gates of Hell”.
Thank You for your welcome Comments and ongoing support.
