“Proper Of The Mass” (Ignatius Press) • Part 4 of 7
The Next Big Thing Is Here
“If we do not love those whom we see, how can we love God, Whom we do not see?” Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
Sometimes everything comes together. How is this achieved? Here are a few ways.
A simply stunning “Salve Regina” and the “Mass of Saint Philip Neri”
“Tacit approval” alone isn’t getting the job done. It is abdicating authority to composers and publishers, pastors and liturgists.
Let’s not minimize the role of the psalms in the mass to the Responsorial! Plus a FREE download of the Epiphany Communion antiphon.
But how many times have we heard: “We shouldn’t use that that because nobody can sing it.” This is a self-fulfilling prophecy, is it not?
Reverence, prayer, and internal participation increased through this act of external participation.

* Thirteen Men & Coins (Holy Thursday Appeal)
Traditionally on Holy Thursday, the priest washed the feet of thirteen men. Theologians held various opinions regarding whom the “13th man” represented.
