| Your ancestors didn't build this for the Novus Ordo |
On this balmy summer evening, in a vineyard near Napier, the Son of God was called down by a priest onto an altar which normally serves as a kitchen bench, and died so that we wretched humans might have eternal life.
Yes, God's sacrifice of His only Son happened again today in that kitchen in a vineyard, as in Holy Mass around the world. You may know of some event more important than that but it's hard to imagine.
Arranging the Traditional Latin Mass in a home isn't like setting up for a Novus Ordo house Mass. For the NO you need only a coffee table, a candle and a chair for Father to sit on. For a Latin Mass first you need an altar which is "worthy" of the Sacrifice to be offered upon it.
So the kitchen sink bench and stove and things were all draped in white sheets. The hostess apologised.
"Sorry Father, it looks like a mortuary, " she said. Father seemed happy with the "mortuary", probably because as an SSPX priest he's used to saying Mass in a funeral parlour. He just asked for a crucifix, which the hostess didn't have.
"I've got a statue of Our Lady," she said. So Our Lady was duly given pride of place on the "altar", on the heavy linen cloth Father produced from his suitcase along with lectionary, chalice, ciborium, bell, candles and his vestments.
Two little boys - a toddler and his brother who looked barely old enough to receive Communion,but did, when the time came - occupied the leather sofa at the front with their dad. The toddler murmured a bit but otherwise they made not a sound while the Rosary was prayed as people went to Confession in the spare bedroom, and throughout Mass. There were beautiful teenage girls present with their parents, and a guy who'd come from Wairoa.
That's a fair way, Wairoa, but nothing like as far as Father had driven, after celebrating two Masses this morning in Wellington (at an undisclosed location) and before driving to Whanganui tonight to celebrate his first Mass of the day at 7 a m at St Anthony's Whanganui tomorrow.
And so "the most beautiful thing this side of heaven" - as the famous Father Faber called it - took place in a country kitchen, in a vineyard near Napier, this evening. Afterwards the little boys were invited to inspect a recent arrival, a three-week old fawn called John (as in Deere - get it?) which trotted up to meet the entire congregation. Someone told Father it was a good thing he'd said Mass before John was introduced and not after; he'd be a hard act to follow.
But in fact the Mass is the one act in the whole of history which can never be outdone or undone. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on Calvary once and for all so that - as Father explained to the children this evening - He might come to us daily in the Most Holy Eucharist by which He transforms us into Himself, in an act which He repeats in the Mass every hour of every day throughout the world; in the only act which stands between humankind and its annihilation.
Other things have been happening, of course. Emma Hatton, "Journalist" wrote a story for RNZ about a woman who's scared of catching a bus because now there'll be unvaccinated people on it.
She's fearful of getting onboard and being held hostage by those who have chosen not to be vaccinated.

Obviously she has no faith in the vaccine. So why did she bother taking the jab? It's a patheric beat-up by a professional government propagandist to induce more sheople to line up for the "boosters".
The autopsy results start showing up:
Stuff reports that:
Last month Dunedin plumber Rory Nairn dropped dead in their bathroom at 3am, likely due to vaccine-related myocarditis.

The coroner is investigating after an autopsy found Rory Nairn's death was “consistent with vaccine-related myocarditis”. Vaccinologist Dr Helen Petousis-Harris (she with pink hair and no mask - ed) says, “Myocarditis occurs after Covid, far more frequently but also more severely."
More severely than death, Dr Petousis-Harris???

And further to our story yesterday of the iconoclast in Washington US attacking the statue of Our Lady of Fatima, followed by tornadoes' attack on the southern US states:

Beautiful opening about the Mass offered in a country home. God always preserves a remnant who refuse to bow the knee to Baal and recite Pat Dunn's United Nations prayer.
ReplyDeleteHe is not just blind but spiritually blind too.
ReplyDeleteHave been told there is a group of priests in the Auckland Diocese who regularly attend a gay bar. The Bishop takes no action. A bar and spa are in the diocesan centre.
ReplyDeleteDunn's near canonisation of Felix Donelley was the pits. Felix advocated for gay marriage and adoption on Radio Pacific as well as zero censorship. He hid behind youth work to remain a priest and remained a radical change agent
