Eddy Toribo reported: “A great number of faithful parishioners attended the 6PM Sung Mass and Blessed Sacrament Procession at Holy Innocents for the 9th annual celebration of the Feast of Corpus Christi this past Thursday, June 15, 2017. Fr. James Miara was the Celebrant, and we had 14 servers who devoutly served Holy Mass.
As has been the case in all previous years, Midtown Manhattan, was still not used to such religious processions and public demonstrations of active and vibrant faith in the traditional way. Many people stopped and asked what was going on and many more stopped and stood silently as the procession passed by.
The faithful parishioners jubilantly sang traditional hymns in Latin, English, Spanish, and Italian. The music for the Mass was Lassus’ Missa Doulce mémoire, including two Motets by Byrd and Charpentier. Additionally, this year there were two “stational” altars at which Benediction was given: one was outside of a Mexican food restaurant and the other one right outside of the parish rectory. At the end, once we were back at the High Altar, the final Benediction was done.
For many of those in attendance, those two hours and fifteen minutes were the best two hours and fifteen minutes in the whole year!”

What is the Roman Rite? Today, the talk is of “Ordinary” and “Extraordinary” forms, the Novus Ordo Mass and the Traditional Mass. How did this dichotomy arise and what is its basis? And what will be the future of this dual path – confrontation or “mutual enrichment”? Or was Fr. Gelineau right when he claimed that the Roman Rite was “destroyed”?

(Prof. Kwasniewski’s new book Noble Beauty, Transcendent Holiness: Why the Modern Age Needs the Mass of Ages will be available for sale during the evening, and the author will be glad to sign copies.)
