Video • “How to Love that boring Latin Mass”

Andrew Leung · March 12, 2015

EFF OSTROWSKI posted this video the other day. Here is a video the same girl made about a year ago. If you are a regular “Latin Mass” goer, you will like this reflection video; if you don’t know much about the Extraordinary Form, this video will help you appreciate it.


One of her points in the video is: Don’t change the Mass, let the Mass change you. This is such a good and powerful point! The lack of this idea is a very common problem in our Church nowadays. Some people go to Mass because they are obligated to go and some are at Mass for the entertaining music or homily. People often forget that the Mass is a mystery and it forms us. No matter what Forms or Rites of the Liturgy you attend, always remember that you are there to be changed.

    Weeping For Joy! (We Hope!)
    Listening to this Easter Alleluia—an SATB arrangement I made twenty years ago based on the work of Monsignor Jules Van Nuffel—one of our readers left this comment: “I get tears in my eyes each time I sing to this hymn.” I hope this person is weeping for joy!
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Random Quote

“I have, on the other hand, retained several more or less traditional tunes, absolutely valueless and without merit from a musical point of view, but which seem to have become a necessity if a book is to appeal—as I hope this one will—to the varied needs of various churches.”

— A. Edmonds Tozer (1905)
