Didn't go to Mass today. I missed it. I was busy with relatives and duties, and then I am discouraged about so much in Rome, US Conference of Bishops and our diocese... but I love the Mass and still missed it today. You can take that two ways. Both of them literal. The power, control, rules and pettiness are offputting. The language of the new liturgy is a painful reminder of this.. Several times in each Mass, I am jarred out of the spirit of Mass by messing up the words.
There is comfort in knowing the words. Would we change the Memorare? Hail Mary? I guess we would change the Creeds themselves... we did. Or rather they did.
I missed Mass today.
