A GOOD SIGN?

This morning we had a mass in school and I was fortunate to have the chance to enter into conversation with the priest after the mass. I ask him about the possibility for him to say mass in Latin. Thinking that I was referring to the Novus Ordo, he readily said that he was willing to say the mass in Latin. Since I perceived that he has a grasp of Latin and being an avid Latinist. But when I made mention to him the tridentine Rite, he said that it was not the right time for his parish to enter into the Tridentine Rite because currently the Bicol vernacular mass is implementing the revised text, which is more faithful to the latin texts. According to him the people are struggling to cope with the new translation and by introducing the Tridentine Rite at the this point will create a bit of confusion for the people ( I understand his point, he was talking from a pastoral point of view, considering the welfare of the church as supreme over other matters). At least he is willing to say the Novus Ordo in Latin! But when I ask him about the possibility of him to say the tridentine Mass, he said that he is open for that and perhaps in the future. Because I was prodding him and asking him about his opinions about the rite. Currently no discussions of this has gone in the Diocese of Legazpi, as of now the bishop's chair is still vacant, since Pope Benedict accepted the resignation of our Bishop. the diocese is administered at the moment by the auxilliary bishop The Most Rev. Lucilo Quiambao. So hopefully in the future there would be interest in this form of mass. Let us pray harder. I am banking on Fr. Abe's community in Sorsogon to usher in the Extraordinary form of the Mass. I hope that fr. Abe's community will invite us to their celebration sometime this February.
