Thank you, Father. How I long for that Motu Proprio! We have absolutely no Tridentine Mass in our diocese!
I fervently pray that this Mass will eventually be the norm for our contemplative Orders. Think of the immense graces for the Church! Would any readers, and you Father, please pray for this.
In my diocese, there are Tridentine Masses...two of them...and both are 300 miles away. I have never attended one. I never attended the one in Post Falls when I lived in the area, because I had a priest tell me (falsely) that it was SSPX. It wasn't until I left northern Idaho that I found out the truth.
Father, why is the priest's chasuble held up during the Consecration?

Be assured of my prayers.
