I can say the Hail ..."Twenty minutes"!!! I can say the Hail Mary about that fast, I think because I practiced while listening to it on the radio where the boys school (Fr. Payton, I think led that radio Rosary) rattled it off as fast as humanly possible ... whole Rosary in fifteen minutes. That is faster than one Hail Mary every six seconds, because of all the Our Fathers and Glory Bees. During prayers after low Mass, I think it upsets some people when I say (quietly) the Hail Mary at such a clip.JLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894953406900161276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-45178601777276818272009-12-31T09:03:15.268-05:002009-12-31T09:03:15.268-05:00Nobody answered me so I checked elsewhere and yes ...Nobody answered me so I checked elsewhere and yes we abstain on Thursday and feast on Our Lady's day.<br /><br />A priest in a parish here was asked if he could possibly make the Masses a bit longer. The Sunday Mass was being offered start to finish in less than twenty minutes. His response was "People have things to do." But this man was basketball coach, canoer, sloppy and lazy. He was everything else first and a priest last. He never had a vocation. Mahony and his kind never had vocations either. They only had Protestant careers.<br /><br />My grandparents who were farmers and sold hay just to have gas to get them to church, drove faithfully and JOYOUSLY almost an hour each way to Holy Mass. Now I, their grandaughter, even when gas was over $3/gal drove joyously over TWO hours one way just to get to Holy Mass. It's His day. We should give it to Him.<br /><br />It's all about what you want, what your priorities are and just whose kingdom comes first. You are either Catholic or you are not. You will either put Him first or He will vomit you from His mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-36066370266929511782009-12-30T17:05:36.336-05:002009-12-30T17:05:36.336-05:00Sounds like the dear cardinal is vying to have his...Sounds like the dear cardinal is vying to have his skull to pave the floor of Hell!Bill Hooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02336706603556277581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-88117457186295887822009-12-30T12:49:45.728-05:002009-12-30T12:49:45.728-05:00tick tock tick tock... his time will soon be up.tick tock tick tock... his time will soon be up.StarbucksMom...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02394166346232806427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-75876735131661384152009-12-30T10:04:15.665-05:002009-12-30T10:04:15.665-05:00At a certain parish in Raleigh, they skipped the F...At a certain parish in Raleigh, they skipped the Feast of the Assumption last summer... it was on a Saturday and they had no Mass for it, so I assumed it would be celebrated on Sunday.

I know some folks still have to work that day, despite it being a national holiday, but that's no excuse. I'm sure they could find a vigil or an evening Mass to attend.<br /><br />Y'know, it still amazes me how Catholics seem allergic to Mass. I'm a convert and it still thrills me that Jesus would offer Himself to lowly me at every Mass. How could I miss it? We're only asked to go once per week! It's not an obligation; it's an honor!<br /><br />-PauletteBlanscet Hernandez Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081450892677346609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-45216974910913344742009-12-30T07:43:23.188-05:002009-12-30T07:43:23.188-05:00Is this to be treated as Christmas was since the f...Is this to be treated as Christmas was since the feast day is also on a Friday? Abstaining from meat on Thursday to allow the eating of what we like on the Friday feast day? Thus the term Feast Day? <br /><br />I'm thinking yes but if you folks don't know the answer I'll have to check with one of my priests.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
