TLM UPDATES

Fr. Abe Arganiosa, CRS a Somascan Priest assigned in Sorsogon City, celebrated a Low Mass according to the Extraoridnary Form of the Roman Rite at the Parish of Divine Mercy in Sikatuna, Quezon City last April 12, 2008. He was assisted by Gerald Cenir and Carlos Antonio Palad who served as altar servers. Fr. Jojo Zerrudo is the Pastor of said Parish who celebrates the Extraordinary Form on a daily basis. Fr. Abe has for a few times celebrated the Extraordinary Form in their Chapel at the Aemelianum College in Piot, Sorsogon City . Currently he is preparing to make this form of the Mass available on a regular basis starting May or June of this year. He said that he is doing this in obedience to the wishes of the Holy Father PP benedict XVI and in accordance with the Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum. He is also very active in apologetics, he hosts a weekly TV Program in Sorsogon called "Splendor of the Church". At the same time he is also the Chaplain of the Aemelianum College. May we request the readers and fellow Catholics to pray for this TLM apostolate here in Bicol Region. Two weeks ago I accompanied Fr. Abe to Neumann Liturgical shop for his golden vestment. However, because vestments are quite expensive it was not possible to have all the liturgical colors. But we believe that the Lord will provide and through the generous help of the faithful and benefactors we will be able to complete the sets of vestments in due time. May the Lord touch your hearts for this TLM apostolate in Bicol. For more story please read the blogs of Prodeoetpatria, we also credit the photo to Gerald Cenir. You can also read Fr. Abe's account on his blog at Splendor of the Church.

Anonymous said...: It looks so cool in the picture but I was perspiring all over. My fingers are also in pain because I was holding the ciborium within the middle finger and the pointing finger whose end is touching the index one. But, despite the inconvenience it was truly a heavenly experience.; April 19, 2008 at 7:05 AM

A 13 years old boy............. in 1983, but now I am a golden boy, gaining weight and wiser, but younger at heart. I consider myself as a “novus ordo baby” because I was born in the late 60s after the 2nd Vatican Council introduced the novus ordo missae and grew up confronted by the confusions as a result. Like my generation I never saw what the church was like prior to Vatican II, but I am a living witness to the gradual disappearance of religious traditions we hold dear. Young as I was then I could not understand what was going on. But I suffered the sense of loss as I saw how the modernizing influence in the church disfigured the liturgy and clouded the way we believe and practice our faith. But then being a child, powerless, not knowing what it was, and why it happened, I simply drifted into the sea of confusion, too young to understand. With a glimmer of faith in my heart, planted by baptism and confirmation, strengthened by the sound teachings of my parents and grandparents, I sailed into the sea of life, day after day, seeing the changes happen, feeling the sense of abandonment, yet God was merciful to me. In 2005 I discovered the Traditional Latin Mass or commonly known in the post-conciliar period as the Tridentine Mass. I began to love the rite of mass that has nourished my ancestors, the saints and the martyrs. I am eternally grateful to His Holiness Pope John Paul II for recognizing the rightful aspirations of Catholics attached to the ancient forms of the Roman Rite through his apostolic letter ECCLESIA DEI DI AFFLICTA. I am also eternally grateful to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI for liberating the Traditional Latin Mass through his apostolic letter Summorum Pontificum. I fully agree with the program of his pontificate regarding the Hermeneutics of Continuity and disdain the hermeneutics of rupture. Today I consider myself a Traditional Roman Catholic attached to the liturgical discipline of 1962 as outlined in the Motu Proprio SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM of his Holiness. I believe that there is only one Roman Rite, the Ordinary and the Extraordinary and that the Mass in whatever form should be celebrated with dignity. My voyage is on. Join me in this quest.
